you guys all make valid points. For players who started late (like myself 3-4 months in) I feel the relic quest is a waste of time (even though Im trying to get my MNK relic). especially when getting your crafting classes up and ready (and other classes relevant to you) to 50, so that when 3.0 hits, we can bring them up to 60. Im constantly arguing with myself on what time to spend where: get my poetics, level up needed classes, clear Coils....all for 3.0.
