Even with more ways to obtain these token things than with the 200-210 step, this looks like it could be a significantly greater hell.
Would you rather it be 228 materia (at least) and 228 items like the last time we changed the stats of our relic?

Each item we use gives 3-5 points, so 46-76 items are needed (we needed 75 Alexandrite and at least 75 materia to do the last one, for reference)

Yes, its going to be a grind. Its the relic quest, its meant to be a grind (because its either going to be skill-based or grind-based, and the vast majority can't get the skill-based weapon, so go for the grindy one...similarly, this is likely why Aquapolis is RNG-based rather than skill-based; everyone has a chance with RNG, but the majority would do nothing but whine if we have Savage-level difficulty anywhere outside of Savage)
