Anima Weapons. Putting things into perspective.

[Berethos]

But your 210 tome weapon doesn't become a 230 with almost no effort does it? Welcome to the pay off for having completed it on time. You aren't getting the 210 handed to you, you are getting the 230 handed to you.

Dropping the requirements to 15, or even 12, of each token while leaving the cost of those the same, and changing it to NQ items is still quite a bit of effort and some gil. That hardly results in having 230 handed to you.
