Im about 75% done with the quest now after...heck i dont know how long...i feel like ive been working on nothing but this relic step for months and my alt classes are suffering for gear because of it. (im slowly replacing gear from dungeons)

I'm still really irked that the 2nd half has the chance to give you up to +6 but since its good ol RNG ive had it bonus exactly once.

Ok to be fair im still irked about the whole thing so i really hope the next patch corrects this. No one should have to grind nothing but tomes for so long. Its so uninteresting. The sands are actually kind of cool that you can turn in or do like 10 different things. But again not umbrite :P

There are a bunch of ways to get tomes for umbrite but the amount you need dwarfs what you can get done in a day before you go crazy. I think when it came out it was....okish since you had lots to do story wise, new people running things and you getting extra tomes....but now its just stagnant.
