Relic Items Easily Obtained?

[Xatsh]

I have to say make relics a 1-2% playerbase item again. Something that is a symbol of dedication and drive way above and beyond the norm.

They are the ultimate weapon in all Final Fantasy games more or less, and they should remain that way.

They should outclass anything else in that weapon class by a decent margin and should remain the top weapon for the duration of the game... with that being said they should be seen as near impossible to obtain. It should take a hardcore player years if they get it by themselves and it should give a hardcore guild a target to work towards (assuming you have a guild that helps get them).

I see relics as being the ultimate goal and I feel the ultimate item should not be something everyone has.

It should be a quest based item, but the quest should be something that is really hard, really long, and has significant barriers. I would like something like mythics in XI, the weapon required a lot of quest done and a lot of items collected. It was something that would take the normal hardcore player easily over a year and a half to finish.

You had help then or where very rich, the alexandrite alone would take years was what 30,000 alexandrite and you averaged 50-100 a run if you where lucky (you could buy them but in the hayday of XI they where 5k a pop so 150million gil worth) . On top of that you needed to do nyzul, all the quest, all the assaults twice, missions, kill the ZNMs actully get the drops (takes a group and prevents them from fighting a boss)

Anything is easy with help, my linkshell was producing a full relic every 1 1/2 months for awhile until the abysea killed off any form of money making. With LS help it is doable in a decent time, alone... well yea good luck.

My ls was obscenely wealthy they provided everything for there ls members HQ abj armor etc, we also sold a considerable amount of ridills/hauberks/subligars/sea torques/drops for ludacris amounts of gil and pretty well everyone in ls had multiple crafts lvled besided me i had 94 woodworking and just sold arrows/quivers on the side. I hardly bought any alexandrite my ls bought and gave it to me the problem was getting enough and getting a Tinnin fang... My ls had multiple relics in the dozens and at least 8 mythics counting mine that i remember and oh man .... everyone had at least 2 empy weapons lol. I soloed/duoed so many sobeks on pup/nin i still have night terrors about it. But yeah i would have never gotten a mythic had it not been for the generosity of my LS i didnt even request one i was just on the list.

I really don't want to fork over millions of gil or spend even a year to get a relic item, but you are right about earning an relic weapon to be note worthy an uncommon to the pleasing eye. However, it's too early to even talking about relics since there is no level cap and the game is still in develop process. I will say though I hope they make it where it doesn't require such a time that would affect our living lives.
