Relic quest summary -> Good by to casuals

[A-Shock]

Why does a casual player (i'm assuming this means they arent running coil or coil2) even need an i110 weapon?

I dont see why you'd need more than i70 for story content.

O_o

Just because people are "casual" doesn't mean they don't want to progress... Get outta here with that kind of attitude.

I suppose they/you need full i110 armor and a high allagan weapon too then?

What in the world are you running that necessitates that? I mean, if you are in 2nd coil you probably aren't casual.

Since I've seen this statement a lot before, I wanted to address it. Players don't NEED the better gear if they're not running Coil, but of course players want it. Everyone wants a chance to improve their character and observe some change over time. Besides, not doing Coil now doesn't mean not doing Coil ever. Many players, myself included, are looking forward to running Coil 2 when lockouts are removed and statics aren't required.

Sorry, I hadn't read far enough head in this thread when I decided to respond but yeah basically what you said

Im a hardcore player I guess and im already tired of myth grinding. 60k seems insane. They better change it so that u get myth just for logging in everyday, myth for crafting, extra myth for helping ppl, myth traveling a certain distance. Maybe clear the logs and give us myth.

Cuz, I dont care if u can speedrun everything, this is gonna be crazy.

My biggest issue is that I wish they added a different tome that u got in addition to myth and soldiery. B/c while I am grinding myth for the next 2 months, I cant use any of it on new characters.

I really dont get why people who have time to farm for the Novus just go the SCOB route instead. Sure its harder but its much less grindy and you end up with a better weapon anyways.

Novus : 60000 Myth OR 75 days of map -> 75++ Days if doing daily quest + materia melding failure wasted days

You may want to change the bold part, or wait for comfirmation. As far as i am aware, you will only lose the Materia and not the Alexandrite. Could someone confirm or deny, who did fail an attempt?

Folks on Reddit apparently confirmed that it's just the materia. It supposedly gives you a msg saying you won't lose the Alexandrite.

Thanks, so OP should change it then, or it would misslead people to wrong assumptions.

Whilst they are difficult (pfffft not difficult - time consuming!) to obtain, compared to XI we still have it easy whilst still keeping the spirit of what these relic quests are intended to be.

You mean the spirit of grinding or outright buying 100s of currency while the last part of the quest (beating the weapon NM) actually being the challenging part? It's really no different here. It took longer in FFXI because of the 3 day lockout of Dynamis.

There's nothing hard about this quest. If I had my way the final step would be beating the t9 boss for the final transformation. Do your daily quest, and wait for hunts. It's not rocket science.

Or you know, people could wait for SCoB to get nerfed 3 months from now and they can go get a weapon that's better and probably takes less effort.

The Novus weapon is the only good alternative for people who can't complete cutting edge content as it's relevant. Until SE changes their philosophy on this, only people who can't do the best content as it's relevant or those with a lot of time to play are going to seriously pursue this.

Can people stop with the assumption that only people who can't complete coil go for them? There are also those who do not like to run coil at all and those who simply want the "shiny" and like grind more than raids. Have hardly anything to do with "can't".
