1. I skipped the crystal grind because i had few Zetas

3. The 80 + 16 HQ is a mindless grind and imho not worth the 10 ilvls
4. The oil step wasn't a big problem since i was still grinding the 80 items, in few weeks i obtained them with the weekly crystal tower quests and finished it before the step 3
5. In the last update i like that they give you a lot of options for the sands but still... that umbrite locked behind yet another tomestone grind

The fact that the last 3 steps require large amounts of same type of tomestones imho is a major turn down, if i enjoyed a content i would do it again like with the old relic, but it's not the case with this one, also working on more than one relic at time is counterproductive =/
At least at this stage the previous version was fun kill x mobs, kill Chimera, Hard primals and Hydra. Now that was fun and probably took same amount of time as collecting 20 items. This was locked behind a time sync but least it was fun and rewarding nothing about Anima is classed as rewarding. I don't even know why they even bother making any quests for it just make each stage collect 100k lore. They could of used diadem, weeping city, deep dungeon, Midas, Aquapolis hell even hildy fights to make it interesting.
