    My Most Efficient, Least Tedious, Method for Grinding Phase 3 of Anima Relic

    I do everything in FFXIV so I spent a little time coming up with a method for grinding Anima Relics that I thought would be the most rewarding for the time spent.

    Calculations Based on:
    Expert Roulettes - 140 law/25 min/daily = 2 hrs per unidentified token
    Beast Tribes - 12 tokens + 120 poetics/28 min/daily = 30 min per unidentified token
    Alexander - 10 tokens/70 min = 70 min per unidentified token
    Level 60 Roulette - 200 law/25 min = 85 min per unidentified token
    Level 50 Roulette - 150 Poetics/20 min (if leveling), 150 Poetics + 120 Law/20 min (if not leveling = 91 min or 50 min per unidentified token respectively
    Frontline = 100 Law/15 min = 102 min per unidentified token
    Allied Seals - 1000 Seals/? min = ? min per unidentified token

    These times are rough estimates based on my experience and involve mostly DF groups. Obviously, premade parties are much more efficient. I usually get Seal Rock in Frontline but it's possible to get one of the others. If you do, you still get 50 Law + 50 Poetics, so it works out about the same. Lastly, if you do Vanu Vanu, it's a little more inefficient in tokens but better if you still need to get to max rank or want the bonus exp.

    My Plan
    12 x Beast Tribe Quests per Day = 7.7 tokens per week, time spent per day = 28 min
    Level 50 Roulette (on a non-60 job) = 1.54 tokens per week, time spent per day = 20 min
    Main Story Roulette (on a non-60 job) = 1.47 tokens per week, time spent per day = 20 min
    Frontline = 1.05 tokens per week, time spent per day = 15 min
    Void Ark once per Week = .15 tokens per week, time spent per week = 30 min
    Expert Roulette twice per Week = .42 tokens per week, time spent per week = 50 min

    Summary
    This works out to 12.33 unidentified tokens per week and an expected completion time of about 6.5 weeks, spending 1.5 hrs per day and another 1hr, 20 min per week. No Alexander spamming required. Along the way, I will cap Eso, complete PvP challenge logs, earn Wolf Marks, get my item from Void Ark, and get exp. for under-60 jobs. I hope this plan looks workable for those struggling with the overwhelming nature of the Anima Relic. Sadly, obtaining the expensive crafted items is a separate issue. I bought mine on Cactuar for 10m gil but I'm sure that price will come down in time.
