GL with that. and we still at 35h total, no 200+ hours as Nexus require.
I don't really care to do the math on this so I'll take your word for it but what I will say is your 3.5 hour limit you put on my groups farming the turn is completely wrong. You are ignoring the amount of time we put into it just to get the first down. You said it yourself that raiders are "grinding wipes." I'm not saying you don't have a right to feel like you put in a ton of work for a weapon that became not the best weapon anymore, what I'm saying is it isn't getting thrown to the side. The exact same thing that happened to Nexus, happened to the High Allagan. You start the grind all over again. Two different paths that result in a somewhat identical weapon. You get to choose which path you take. Having a relic on standby means that my group doesn't have to feed me weapons. They don't have to baby me and hold my hand. I can get a weapon all on my own AND I don't have to pray to RNGeezus. I'll take my relic and if in the meantime I can nab a Dreadwyrm Staff, I will.
