"Coming into its own" is too much!

I hope those who wished this current system onto the game is having lots of fun with it.

While I never really minded the presence of more difficult content in obtaining a Relic (I was hoping the last step of ARR would involve the three original EX Primals so the process could come full circle), the Zodiac/Anima questlines are some of my favorite content in the game. I had 4 Zeta weapons by the end of ARR (and a Nexus that I abandoned until after HW), and I'm on track to have 3 or 4 completed Anima weapons by the end of HW.

Regarding the topic itself, I am quite surprised they have yet to lessen the requirements for the 210 stage, though. By this point into ARR we had seen reductions in tomestone costs for Animus books and increases in Atma drop rates. All they've done so far to the Anima line is increase the luminous crystal drop rates. Normally when we get a new tomestone, the cost of items when converted to that new tomestone are reduced, and they kept the Esoterics cost equivalent to the Law cost for that portion. Coupled with the recent restructuring of Hunt Mark rewards and the changes to tomestone rewards from dungeons, this actually resulted in the stage becoming a little harder in 3.2, though it's since returned to about the same as it was initially with the adjustments to Tomestone rewards in 3.3.
