Fastest Way to get Unidentified Items

I get the impression that the anima weapon is not worth getting.

a very dangerous assumption, it maybe useless now but in a few patches time it might be best in slot

[Zavius_Firerave]

Why do you think so? What do you mean by "best in slot"?

It currently is BiS for Scholar. Even the i200 version is pretty damn nice compared to the other options, especially if you're not clearing As4.

Well if SE does a copy and paste from the level 50 relic quests then later in the quest line

(maybe patch 3.4) we will be able to customize the secondary stats,

best in slot = best piece of gear for a given situation

Absolute fastest way, if you have an insane amount of gil, is treasure maps.

I can agree with this. Wyvern drop Shells, and Dragon drops Ore. Using Alex runs as a base, Shells and Ore take the longest to grind out given the average DF party, so I viewed every Shell/Ore I got from a map as 60-90 minutes of Alex I didn't have to do. I was also free to do Hunts in-between maps, and they also give 10-30 Law each which helps towards more Ore/Seeds.

I recommend duoing Dragonskins with a friend and just alternating Ore drops. Dragonskins seem to have a much better droprate than Wyvern, which may be attributed to the fact that they are technically meant to be done in 8-man parties. For those interested, here are my drop rates (I did not do many Archaeoskin):

Archaeoskin: 0/10
Wyvernskin: 16/172
Dragonskin: 21/112

I have one relic and am 42/80 on my second. I strongly agree with what others have said here, don't stick to one single method or you will go insane. I just do my roulettes each day the tomes from this add up to a few mats each day, and the beast tribes roughly translate to one mat each day.

at the end of stage 3, when you complete the quest...

one of the NPCs does indeed say something about there still being room for it to be improved further later on, so it does look like this relic will follow a similar path to the previous one, upgrading it each time. I hope they do customizable stats

I hope it's not considered a spoiler as I don't know how to hide text, but in regard to your comment, at the end of stage 3, when you complete the quest, one of the NPCs does indeed say something about there still being room for it to be improved further later on, so it does look like this relic will follow a similar path to the previous one, upgrading it each time. I hope they do customizable stats

The relic will be upgraded further in a future patch!? That is a huge spoiler.

Also to put something in spoiler popup wrap it in {HB} {/HB} tags, but use [] instead of {}

/sarcasm I hope.

You Sir/Madam are crazy (in a good way).

But yes, i agree the best way is do a bit of everything. I do everything bar the hunts, and am sat on 71/80 right now. If you dont just endlessly grind one thing for relic items, its not so bad and you wont burn out most liekly.
