    Time needed to build a relic? (As of 2.51)

    Hi all

    I am just wondering if anyone could estimate the time needed to build a relic starting from atma. If it matters, at about 4~5 hours of play time per day.

    Thanks!

    If I were to take a random shot in the dark:

    Atma - 3 days
    Animus - 18 days (assuming 2 days per book due to FATE camping)
    Novus - 7-21 days (Assuming infinite Gil/budget Relic and luck with the FATE farm)
    Nexus - 7-10 days (Assuming full time light farm)
    Zodiac - 7 days (that RNG)
    Zeta - 7 days (according to a live letter, apparently)

    49 days (7 weeks) to 66 days (~9.5 weeks)

    If you have a Zodiac already, you can light farm while getting KIs for Zodiac, helping reduce that time greatly.

    That's actually a lot less than I expected. Hm...

    Anyways, thanks for the info!

    Here's the rough time it took me based on 6 hrs/5 days per week. I have my novus and I'm collecting light atm.


    Atma - 6 hrs
    Animus - 9 days (assuming 1 day per book. I completed 3 books in a day....The FATES occur much more often. I waited no more than an hour for 2 of them. The others were near immediate)
    Novus - 5 days (Forget FATES, maybe while queing for dungeon but, I ran over 100 with no Alex while friends had 7-10.... Did my dailies and the hunts to buy them and to nab maps. I also started buying them with Allied seals before quest. Had 17 at start.)
    Nexus - 7 days I agree with this. You'll need to be farming light all the time and using the light tracking websites. Just make sure you don't do a 60 min dungeon for 8 light when you can do simple trials and more of them in that same time period.
    Zodiac - Not on this yet but I've heard up to 10 days as some dungeons are just rude.

    I get alex like crazy from FATEs lately, it feels like it's in the neighborhood of 20%. You can probably beat that rate if you're in a good hunt party with windows up, but not with soldiery farming.

    its 2400 soldery TOTAL for 12 ea Mehatma

    480 TOTAL lights for 12 ea mehatma

    Each time you get 40 light for 1 mehatma, you have to go back and get a new one at swiftperch.

    i can do that today lol

    Yeah, I heard the latest phase was super short. It's getting there that I have to weigh and think about.

    Might as well... Yoshi did say that the Relic would end up being the most powerful weapon in the game. Plus, you can get it now whereas the Dreadwyrm is not so easy for the masses.

    Assuming 5 hours a day ...

    Atma - 1 day, maybe dip into the next day if unlucky
    Animus - 7 days, 5 hours lets you do a book and a quarter if you get insta-queues into dungeons and aren't FATE blocked by luck
    Novus - 5 days, a lot more if you're poor and need to get gil or spiritbond what you want though you can just use a ghetto build and come back to this step
    Nexus - 4-5 days since the light buff. It takes about 20 hours of some decent grinding, less if you get into an extreme mode farm, more if you have queues.
    Zodiac - 5 days unless you get unlucky. Most dungeons are within 3 or so attempts, but sometimes you get that one that takes 15+ tries. Also can depend on how much Soldiery/GC seals you start with.
    Zodiac Zeta - 2-3 days depending on the type of group you get. Hundreds of people already have it 12 hours after the patch dropped.

    Total investment - 24-26 days, 80k GC seals, a whole lot of Soldiery, upwards of 10 million gil depending on materia you get and luck

    Reward - best weapon in the game, and I'd say grinding on your main class for literally weeks will improve you in some way, if not overall then fight specifically.
