Relics should take time invested, but not be just an uber rare drop based on random luck.

Some key points:
- Make progress quantifiable (something you can actually measure and say "I'm xxx close to getting my relic")
- Involve multiple platforms of the FFXIV community (crafting, gathering, epic fights, puzzles, strategy, content, etc)
- Should not take more than a year for the average player to obtain (someone of relative skill, some social networking, reasonable amounts of gil, and plays an average of say... 10-20 hrs per week)
