Relic items and the market board

[Archaell]

In my opinion the relic items, fate crystals and unidentifiable items, should be added to the market boards.

My reasoning:

1) I am about to farm the fates for the third time and tbh I would rather spend those hours crafting, leveling my crafter jobs, to buy the items. It would be more fun and more productive. As always the game is having hard time being reasonable with multiple-job players.

2) The first point of the relic is so that the players can catch up. That doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be locked behind the grind of the old content.

The second point is to bring the players in the old content - as such it should not matter who is doing it as long as someone is doing it.

3) The battle jobs can always use additional means to make gil. If they have to buy relic items from the crafters, why couldn't the crafters buy the relic items from them?

That's all. Feel free to express your own opinion.

Relics are supposed to be long term goals that require effort. You're not supposed to be able to just buy it which is what you're proposing. And to change that now so soon after the first relic patch would be an insult to the players who have worked for it.

The current stage isn't that hard to get, but it does take some effort. I've only one Anima relic myself, but I know people who nearly have their third.

They'll nerf the early stages of it later on, but right now you're best to just get on with it or not if you don't want it

Let's be honest, if they were on the market boards, the drop rates would b even lower otherwise they would only be like 10k each due to over farm.

IMO
1. Relic item is the answer to those "SE crafters need to be important and involve to end-game gears, I need ppl sociable bcoz they need me to craft"
2. Fate Crystal is the answer to previsouly ATMA grinding those "SE please let me level up while fate grinding then I will be happy"
3. UI definitely is the main dish to achieve "Relic requires a lot of time" as the answer to those "Everyone get their relic too easy, I don't happy" old threads.

Therefore, I like your idea but I know it defeats the purposes of YoshiP's intention,
as he said he made decision base on everyone feedback, and I have listed those everyone feedback on above.

I like your idea but I know I am not in the group of everyone base on how YoshiP made decision. ^^;

Locking the relic behind the Alexander Savage would require effort. The relic requires grind, making it only time sink nothing else. It shouldn't matter how you sink the time then.

Starting with this patch the relic is already only a glamour so I don't see the problem with that.

Making gil requires effort too - and maybe even more effort than doing the old content overgeared.

I don't think so. The crystals still have to drop, only the owner changes. There could be people farming it for sale, which is one of the points, but I don't think we would be flooded by the items.

To be honest above idea is so meaningless! I don't know how much each relic itme on your market board,
my server is over 300k each, so 4.8M for each relic is just the min. pay.
So just need to make relic item cheaper then it is a lot of gils, who cares selling the crystal... ^^;

No it's not, the next relic upgrade will be patch 2.25 (5 weeks) and more than likely be ilvl 230... People that are willing to put in the effort will have relic before non-raiders get their 7 gears from alex normal... Anima weapon is a good weapon which constantly upgrades throughout the expansion.

If you don't want to do it, then fine. You can do something else instead or just don't play the game at all. But stop asking for the whole game to be catered to you specifically. Either do the quest or don't.

P.S. I have YET to ever see any relic quest suggestion that did NOT involve making the quest easier in some way... People don't have an issue with the quests, only the amount of effort required. We all know what the gilbuyers would do if you put all the relic quest items on the market board lol. All of a sudden there's lots of carebears with this "worthless glamour weapon" they want nerfed so badly, but claim they don't care about...

The relic is the alternative to the (usually better) raid weapons and always has been like with the original zodiac relic and Bahamut's Coil. It would make no sense to gate the new relic behind raids, people would just be spending a lot of time to get something that's inferior to what they can already get from the raids.

Effort also has multiple definitions, one of which is "The use of physical or mental energy to do something; exertion." - Sounds like that's a describing am FF XIV grind to me?

Starting with this patch the relic is already only a glamour so I don't see the problem with that.

But you'll be able to upgrade it... and upgrade it... and upgrade it. Just like the zetas. 3.2 added new weapon choices, but until that dropped it was the best weapon for people who didn't raid. 3.25 will bring more relic upgrades so it gives people a chance to catch up before that releases.

Making gil requires effort too - and maybe even more effort than doing the old content overgeared.

It'll get a lot easier once you get all your crafters/gatherers to 60. Hang in there!

With 3.2 they removed the specialist requirement for those crafted items for the relic so the prices will likely drop now more people actually have a chance at crafting them).

The only change I want is for the crafted item portion to only require 1 normal quality item. 4 HQ per piece is way excessive.
