Undersized parties don't allow relic progress?

[Jetstream_Fox]

Just found this and while I shouldn't have been surprised, I'm actually a bit more confused on this. We can go through 90% of the content with an undersized party and get clears and farm away, which I'm sure many of us are aware of. But why would they restrict us from completing a relic through the use of undersizing a dungeon and soloing it? In the end it's really no skin off my back since I already have a zeta, but for those new players who might have wanted to try and get one without the horrendously bad wait timers for specific dungeons, this seems like a huge step back in terms of keeping content alive.

My best guess is because a large part of why those dungeons were required for relics in the first place was to reduce q times for people that needed them.

Which step in particular are you referring to? last I checked you could use undersized for all relic steps that required running duties.

Pretty sure it's the light farm. No spamming Sastasha over and over for insanely quick clears.

I ran Cutters Cry with myself, playing Talk and a friend of mine as a Summoner. We cleared the dungeon easily, but when we got out the dungeon wasn't marked off in the book. Unless you actually need 4 people for it to register, this will be very saddening if they keep the current setup of needing to be in a normal set up party for such old content to be done.

I know the key items from the end of the hard modes is doable in an undersized party. Smells like a bug for either or... And I hope it's a bug of the books.

[Jetstream_Fox]

I hope it is a bug, but with it being so old I don't think they will fix it. I know some of the dungeons on hard would be a bit challenging to run solo and the option to get a random relic done was a plus. But oh well back to the Eso/Alex grind.

Did the boss have an icon above his head?

Did you forget to equip your relic weapon when you were killing the boss? My friend and I have been doing the Animus step recently so we've been 2-manning dungeons and we've had no problems getting credit.

Incidentally is that the book of Netherfall that you're talking about? I'm on that one now so I might go and confirm whether it's bugged or not.

Need relic equipped for last boss. I ran my friend through plenty of undersized dungeons for his books.
