Nerf "Coming Into Its Own"

[VirusChris]

Well excuse me for only making 100k a day and I use those gil to try to get Daily Deliveries done for my Crafts to powerlevel them and my Server likes to price the HQ Items as 120 - 200K+. At least the Relic HQ Items are cheaper than that, but I like to hit Lv60 on all my crafts.

I don't have the time to collect mats and make demanded items to sell on MB for quick Gil. Not everyone can make over 10 million gil in a week.

Excuse me, but to me it sounds like you're upset because the amount of time investment the relic grind requires doesn't cater to your schedule.

No one is forcing you or anyone to partake in the relic grind. If you think it is too much, then simply don't do it. That's completely fine. And it is also the reason why there are alternatives like the tomestone weapons you can obtain instead.

Good god I said I WANT to do it even if it's long and expensive. Did you not read one of my post? I'm stating not everyone can make some much Gil like it's an overflowing river so don't make it sound like everyone can get rich quick and easy and if that was the case a lot more people wouldn't have complained as much about the cost of the items as they should.

*Shakes head* I'm not going to bother with this.

Did you not read one of my post?

I admit I skimmed most of it. It was long. q.q

Understandable, my post on this page (default setting... not sure about people who view 20 posts or so per page) was kinda long.

The current requirements are insanity.

Not at all. You are a tank player correct? Then listen, here's what I'm doing.

I do all of my roulettes every day, reaping the Adventurer in Need reward as a tank. This is how I earn my tomestones and gil. (Yes, gil. I kid you not. I'm a filthy non-crafter.) I also do my ARR beast tribe quests, which grants me tokens I can spend on relic items as well. Note that I focus on the 4 first ARR beast tribes, as the HW ones are slower in the long run. But bear with me now. When I find myself with extra time, I queue up for some Alexander Gordias, usually either turn 1 or 4. These grant me Precision items I can trade in for relic items.

By the time I reach 80/80 relic items, I'm more than enough stocked up for gil from all the roulettes. I also sell excess grade 4 materia gained from the ARR beast tribe quests. Finally I buy the crafted items with my well-earned gil from a crafter. Any crafter. Just put up a PF asking for one, and you'll find one.

That's it. Not difficult in the slightest. Only time-consuming.

I do apologize. I goofed.

That's nearly what I'm doing now. I do all daily roulettes, getting the adventurer in need bonus then I do all my beast tribes. My only disadvantage here is that all of my ARR ones are lv1. I never did anything with them until now.

Apologized accepted.

Also I'm leveling all of my classes so I'm not doing the Adventurer in Need bonuses, which help a bit with the Gil Count. Trying to cap all my classes first so my Relic is secondary on the list but working on it at the side.

I got 50/80 Items collected so far and 0 on the HQ Items. Also finally got all 5 Aether Oils so I'm set. I'm not rushing, just taking my time on this grind. Doing the BT Quests helps with leveling my classes as I got my Battles classes to 56 at least (PLD, NIN, WHM, and DRK are at 60 atm) and my Gathering is at 60 and I do make some Gil on them... selling the Maps help a lot as they're selling at high prices on MB. Crafting only got CUL at 60 and today I have got CRP to 59... my rest of my crafts are at 57 and 58 atm. Slowly, but surely I'll have everything done even though I wish I could do it faster.

^Unfortunately for you they WILL nerf... they stated in a Live Letter before that when Patch 3.3 the previous step of the Relic will be adjusted as they add in the new step. Or was it Patch 3.35? Either way it is going to be nerf one way or another.

Anyway I'm back to farming Tomes and possible do the Alex Runs to get some of the items out of the way. 30 more to go.

Not really unfortunately for me. I made my money, I've got my relic ages ago. I just don't see the point in why people always want things easier, And i'm not just talking about this game.
The last few online games i've played it seems more frequent how people keep asking for nerfs. people EXPECT hand outs when something is hard or takes long to get, And i'm sorry that i don't like that. I've seen some people in this forum claim they play 5-6 hours a day and it takes to long, Really? So many options in doing this, Hell level your tank do some alex runs and you get a few awesome mounts while you're at it! Maybe do some Tribes, so many options.

Yet people complain, complain, complain.
