It wasn't a very popular event in 1.0. In order to get a seal and therefore your relic, you had to grind THOUSANDS of items just to get enough points just so you would even have the SMALLEST chance at a seal. And other crafters could come in an knock you down a peg pretty much screwing you out of a seal after all that work. And you needed like 3 seals from each of the 3 hamlets. Basically it was too much work for little to no payoff. The militia gear was probably the most valuable items because they had the legendary +Enmity stat for tanks (there were no enmity combos back in the day).
