    Yeah, if I could carry as many books as I want I could A) Actually do something with my 2000 soldiery I've been sitting on for months, and B) Complete the damn relic without taking time off work. It's just, I always run around Eorzea killing random stuff and then it turns out that, oh, that was part of that next book so ya'll can do that all over again.

    I understand why this was done from the start but now it's a major roadblock.

    Being limited to completing the books one at a time is just time-consuming for the sake of being time-consuming. I think we have enough grinding steps in the relic quest line to soak up players' free time. If you have enough soldiery to buy multiple books, I see no good reason why you shouldn't be able to complete them simultaneously so you can move on to the next time-suck quest.

    Only thing I really hate bout the books are the mobs... because seriously waiting for the Lugger at his spawnpoint 50 minutes because yes they respawn all 5 minutes but if you try to get to the other 2 (if you even find em) you get there... they are killed.... back your "standard" one killed... its just grrrrr

    Soldiery cost was reduced drastically and it is easy to come by. You can purchase Alex maps via hunts also and get free maps by doing daily Expert Roulette.
    The fate spawn rates while they have said has been changed i personally have not seen evidence to it. Some fates still take well over 2 hrs to spawn

    Reduced from the mythic tomes cost... which if you did the math, the books are actually even more expensive now than they used to be

    You do realise that some value is lost in the convertion, right? While the scale was 4:1 for the myth - soldiery convertion, how much you get from duties is somwhere between 2:1 and 3:1. That puts the new price slightly lower than the old one.

    -Could they have at least chosen mobs that have more than 2 spawns in the zone?
    -Also did they have to pick FATES that spawn super infrequently, and/or FATES that are part II's of other FATES which are somtimes difficult to solo because they involve keeping boxes/crates or NPC alive against waves of mobs(hardest type)
    -None of the Levequests are ever Levequests that are outright available, they're always Levequests that are locked and require you to clear 2-3 other Levequests first for them to appear.
    -None of these are hard...they're just humungous time sinks and are extremely boring. Like, we have to do Dungeons..FINE, but then we have to do these SAME dungeons again later on for Lights, then again for whisper/singings, then again for dungeon drops. Wish dungeons/leves were retroactive so you dont have to repeat em
