You guys misread what was said, lol
It was said "those with Zeta will be taken into consideration", no mention of skipping steps, etc.
But i kind of agree i would say at this point in time i would not do Relic, maybe simply because having done multiples i am sick of it, not sure
When hw came out there was already better weapons from dungeon drops then Zeta, so currently it is a glam piece
On the bright side it is super nerfed now and should be much easier to get
