Anima Weapons - incentive for multiples?

[Crysten]

@Crysten:

I'm a NIN main, but am slowly converting over to PLD. I am 8 Ores shy of getting Anima. Question is, how does it feel to hold an Almace?

All my Warrior friends laugh at me.

I doubt there will be further ways to skip steps in the Anima questline beyond the initial trade Nexus to skip fate grinding.

Both the Awoken and Anima steps are designed to be nerfed in future patches unlike the Atma stage of the Zodiak. So in the future it will likely be 1 crystal per HW zone and 5 of each unidentified and 1 of each crafted for the Anima relics.

All my Warrior friends laugh at me.

if they did that i would totally start on another one, the way it is now, no way.

If I want to do several relics within a certain patch (ie: I want to say keep 3-4 relics up to date throughout an entire expansion), I think relaxing the requirements upon completion of each relic rather than nerfing it when the weapon becomes irrelevant and nothing but glamour would have been a good incentive to keep people who don't necessarily raid or those who wish to play multiple jobs at a high weapon standard. Sure, we have primal weapons for alts, but knowing relics will likely be customizable, the option would certainly be nice.

The most unlucky player beating A4S would get their weapon in 8 weeks (barring PLD). I'm not sure why you should expect to receive weapons on par with that in increasingly lesser amounts of time doing little but obsolete content.
