Relic: Your progress on the Grind.

[CoolCat]

I will finish on Wednesday once I get the last ones I need from the beast tribes. That is if psn isn't down for the whole day

XX of 80... I really have no idea at this point. I buy a piece when I get close to capping and toss it in a retainer. I'm in no hurry to get it done, not particularly fond of such a massive grind so I am going to do my dailies and it happens when it happens. The biggest problem I see is that I can not afford the crafted items at this point.

If it had been released earlier or the grind was not as bad, I may have done it outright. I like to have relics on the three classes I play but the requirements for this relic felt like a 50,000 meter wall and I was like.... whelp, that's that...

The scale of the grind is also what prompted several people I know to check out, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.

40/80 (beastmen and roulette)
I will have it in some weeks ^^
And some thought it will need longer than 3.2

Relic acquired, as of yesterday!! Time to sleep...
This thing looks so good, IMO definitely worth all that time (and my entire wallet).

I love the look of Rhongomiant. Congrats!

Pretty much.

I'm at 55/80 now, so the end is getting in sight. My budget is a million gil. Market board cost total: Roughly 2 mill (And that's already comparatively cheap...). Buying the mats seems cheaper, at least if you only need NQ mats, but even then I'd still need crafters who don't demand tips.

So yeah...chances are, I'm gonna let the mats rot on my retainer in the hopes the quest gets nerfed sometime down the road.

0/80, didn't bother. Weapons are ugly and stats are bad.

Weapon will be replaced soon anyways.

Im gonna hold on on the 3rd stage till after 3.2 and some Nerfs mebbe. 1st 2 stages are fine but the last one whats got me rather put off is the monetary requirement aka the need to buy 4 HQ items for each of the 4 exchanges. Bad enough with the old relic but really not impressed with SE on this expecially since im finding it hard to make more than 100k kinah a day with people constantly tanking the market on any raw materials I farm (damn undercutting gets ridiculous when you list something only for people to cause it to crash by half its value a day later). Might be easier if SE drops the requirements to a 1/4 of their current values.

If past stages are any indication, the item portion won't really be nerfed directly. The items will probably become easier to make over time just through the addition of extra gear, though and increased supply will cause prices to lower. 2 million total sounds pretty nice, though, it was 8 or so on my server. ;;

Heh. And it's like 800-960k on the JP server(s?). So theoretically, I'd only need to transfer twice... (which sounds more appealing than it should >.>)

I crack it up to cultural differences. As for the nerf, the Zodiac needed only one of each item, so nerfing it would likely have been a bit complicated. More complicated than going into the editor and turning the 4 into a 3, 2 or 1 at least. Just let me be hopeful, will ya? >_>
