Anima Weapons. Putting things into perspective.

[AureliusDraconium]

Although I was initially dissapointed in no nerfs, I am almost done and can still get the token for the oil from CT over the next 5 weeks. I have not started my lore weapon so this will be a faster alternative for me at this point. I am happy with it so far and it's better than them adding another step that would take months to complete. I can also finish my weapon from grinding CT. Overall I am happy with the relic.

1 Million gil for all 16 crafted pieces? Oh for the love of The Twelve! The damn arrows were 700k gil PER ARROW on Leviathan at the weekend. If you manage to get all 16 items for less than 4M gil from a nice crafter you've scored.

It's stopping me progressing as I can't/won't pay that when I have most of the items needed to craft the hand ins. Alas, I'm not a high geared crafter yet & still have some items from Diadem to get but as I don't own a FC I don't have airships & Diadem gathering parties rarely fill.

Sorry but servers like Lich with low crafter populations still have insane prices, the only nerf i want is the crafting requirement i have to if i buy the items pay about 6 mil, even if i find a crafter i have to pay about 2-3mil and maybe less if i spent money and time to get a gatherer for diadem.

So yes some Servers are Hurt bad with the economy and SE doesn't get this.

The requirements for these weapons have been ridiculous from the start, still are ridiculous, and it's why I'm not doing them. With the limited lifespan gear in general has in this game, they cannot afford to make stuff that's too much of a pain in the ass to get compared to alternatives. The fact that relics evolve as patches go on is meaningless when 1) the starting steps are enough to intimidate most people away and 2) alternatives are still easier to get anyway

To anyone who thinks these are in any way sane, please look at the starting steps for the 2.x relics and compare.

The longest it'll take most casual players is a week and some change if they do the weekly twice and do any roulette that give Eso tomes every day.

I think the definition of "casual" eludes some people...

The Devs most of all, Casual to me is someone who only has a few hours to spend a day, cant really do serious raid content due to time and commitments and only really does their dailies and lvs a few alts maybe...not a hardcore raider or hard core crafting surely.

[Sir_Hermes]

Stop complaining please, this content has been out for how long? If you couldn't get 1 relic by now then you weren't even trying... Smfh

Next upgrade is 3.3 and we likely won't see that patch until May at the soonest. You have plenty of time to get either your lore weapon or an i230 hyperconductive anima.

[Berethos]

Having plenty of time is beside the point - whether or not it's comparable to other available options, as was the intended design as told to us by the devs, is the discussion here.

Please pay attention.

I see they are trying to bring back relevancy for CT, even if it is only for a small moment

[Mindy_Macready]

There is no reason a 210 weapon deserves that much effort at this point.

[Thayos]

Why do relic weapon stages need to be eased when, as the OP points out, there are easier-to-gain alternatives?
