Then you're just not the kind of player the relic quest line is done for. This is an mmo, huge parts of the player base are expected to no-life it, and they do.

FC friend of mine - blm main for a long time - decided to go monk this patch cycle, because his new static needed one. ~14 days later he went into fcob with his kaiser claws.

The whole point is, if you don't give people content they can no-life, you will lose their subs until the next update (or completely). SE pretends they're okay with this, but of course they're not.

If you feel like relic is keeping you from doing stuff you would actually enjoy more but still keep doing relic, you're playing the game wrong. Just get your HA/upgraded shiva ex wep, they're more than good enough for now, then get one of the new tome weps once they're available outside of fcob (probably 8 days from now) or even get it in fcob if you're doing it.
