Relic nerf

[Thayos]

Took them ages to nerf the ARR relic. I dont see it happening any time in 3.2. Might happen in 3.3 if you're lucky.

My thoughts, too.

I seem to recall the nerfs taking a little longer to happen before.

I suspect we'll see at least some minor nerfs to the Anima stage in 3.25, if they continue with the idea that the stages before the "raid-level" end-stage for the weapon in the corresponding patch cycle should be easier to acquire (like they did with the i170/i200 stages).

First and foremost, as others have mentioned, the tomestone costs will probably be reduced somewhat, and we might see corresponding reductions in the number of Precision Gordian Parts required as well. Drop rates for Luminous Crytals may very well be increased, too. Toward the end of ARR, they started getting more generous with nerfs to the earlier stages so people could more easily catch up, and I think we'll see some continuation of that trend now.

I wouldn't expect significant nerfs to the Anima stage until 3.3 at the earliest, though.

If they nerf anything in 3.2, it will probably just be the crystal drop rate for the first step.

The biggest thing I would like to see nerfed is the crafted turn ins. I am not a crafter and even if I started today it would take MONTHS to get the crafters up to 60. And by then the relic would only be good for glam purposes.

On my server each set is going for almost 1 mil. I am not going to pay 4 mil for a weapon that's going to be obsolete. And yes, I could ask a FC mate to craft them for me, but I'm sure the mats needed are not cheap either.

Transfer to another server that's cheaper then transfer back?? It would be easier and cheaper to use my real money for the gil spammers!

Neeeeeh
First it doesn't take months... You need 2 weeks top to be at least 50 in the 8 crafting job
Then maybe 1 week or less to be 60 in the 3 job you want as specialiste
(Because yeah... You can only craft 3 item out of the 8 required)

Took me less than 3 week to be 50 in all DoH just by myself
Right before ixali where introduced !

Nothing is impossible and it won't eat your gils !

People be lazy, that's why nerfs happen

Just a hypothesis, but more than likely neither the crafted items req or the beast tribe token reqs will be nerfed; I'm speculating the alex grind will be(probably increased on a patch cycle, from 1 drop a run to 2, 3, hard cap at 4 for xpac) and the fate farm grind will be reduced by increasing crystal drop rate, based off how they implemented the ease of grind for light and atma for 2.0-2.55.

Previous relic didn't get nerfed until closer to 3.0. You should expect the same with this one. Get grinding or let it come naturally as your tomes do.
