Worthless effort

[Kuwagami]

You know, FFXIV has more grind than a Korean MMO.

You never played a Korean MMO, I get it

Basically sums up Novus weapons. Even with the optimal setup of materia, they still won't be better than a High allagan weapon, and they require WAY more time and effort to get. Why would anyone ever bother with it?

Depends on the person who is playing is all. Like myself, I don't have time for a static coil. I have time for an hour or so a day, maybe spread out through the day to play because I have things to do. I can cook dinner and farm some atma, or finish up some dungeon runs while I get house work done. Or the long wait time that comes with your partner saying "I'll be ready in a minute!!" and that minute turns into 45? Well that's 45 minutes I got to get book mobs or do leves..or sit for a fate.

I do not have the time sit on my computer 4 hours at night when anything can come up, this relic quest caters to that lifestyle so that I can get something. Why not farm levi or other things? I do, but it's a random drop..this is something I know I can accomplish, and I enjoy my SMN book of glow.

So why would anyone bother with it? Because...24 hours in a day just aren't enough for me. Between work, friends, life in general, a few spread hours through the day are enough for me to catch up. Now for others? this isn't the path for you..for those who spent the whole day on 2.3 getting everything done posting their Ramuh items and complaining that people in Crystal Tower 2 can't play..or demand that you know that fight in PF for Ramuh EX..then don't bother with this quest, tackle coil.

The "time and patience" argument works with coil as well. Sorry, I think doing actual end-game stuff and being rewarded with HA gear is more impressive and worth the time and patience than level synching some trash fate we did almost a year ago. Then farming trash dungeons. But, hey, what do I know, I'm not someone with an Animus/Zenith holding people back in Coil/Primals because something actually hits for damage.

Oh hello there, reason several of my friends refuse to do endgame. Nice to see you popping up again.

Oh so you cleared all Coil T1-T5 with titan weapon only because having a relic zenith is "holding people back" ? Stop the trashtalk and the non-sense please. Or rather, stop hurting yourself

Probably because 95% of the game's population will not have a HA weapon while the content is limited by weekly lockouts.

You guys realize the relic chain is going to go on, why would you not go novus? In the end it could be BiS for all we know.

too much work and not worth the time is why.

there is no "end", there will always be more raids every 6 months, and that will always have the best stuff. if the servers are going to go down, nobody is going to care what BiS is.

Because it glows.... Nuff said!

Well, from what I understand, Yoshida has said that the weapon drops from the current top-tier raiding content (i.e. Twintania drops in 2.0 and 2.1, Turn 9 drops in 2.2 and 2.3, etc.) will always be the absolute best weapons in the game... that said, a properly infused Novus is currently the best i110 weapon in the game, hands down.
