relic suggesten

[Savagelf]

may i suggest some of relic have second way gain item that cost lots of tomes

the aquapolis
and Diadems

this include Umbrite and singing clusters.

U get 1 singing cluster daily on expert and 10 weekly doing leveling roulette and you also get one on ah chem run each also you have wonderus trials give 300 lore and the you get 250 from lv dungeon on df and also 140 just doing expert alone so that is actually easy part but just do dailies and run ath chem. Also to point out that you get bonuses on the 2nd stage of 240 relic.

All I really want at this time is there to be another way to get Umbrites. Currently that's my only issue with the current relic.

Agreed, my second Anima's at 141/240 and I nearly cried blood when I realised with my bad luck and never getting bonuses I'll be here for another 9,900 lore I could be using to gear up my other classes. Doing all your lore-roulettes once a day, maybe getting the odd bonus from 60 roul, and then three-five Aethero runs should get you the 260 within a week. It's a nice step, honestly, especially after the mess that was the Umbrite. (this isn't even taking Wondrous Tails into the equation because my luck's abominable and the RNG curse from empty level ups en masse in Fire Emblem carried over to FFXIV................... sssssiiiigh)

They have Unidentifiables in treasure chests from maps, why not add Umbrite to the loot table of these?

Also I'd rather shove dirt into my mouth than farm Aethero just for the tomes ever again. I am so very very sick of this place.

Would be nice if there was at least one quest for Umbrite similar to that for the clusters. My biggest issue with it has been stated in the thread already, all my off roles are suffering in Eso upgraded gear given Lore is simply being sucked up by relic. I do some Alexander but personally I hate the token system and that still is limited to one drop per week per floor.

I don't favor Aquapolis or Diadem as alternatives.

I also suspect will see a major nerf to Umbrite in 3.55.

Having completed three relics (sidenote: Don't do this. It's miserable. I should have stuck with one, MAYBE two), I've come to the conclusion that it's very rare, if not outright impossible, to get 4 or 5 sand until the Umbrite stage is half finished. That is, don't expect to see any at all until your weapon is at 120/240. After 120, 4's and 5's are pretty common. But getting all 3's up to 120 is not bad luck - that's normal.

On all three of my weapons, after 120, 4's and 5's were fairly common.
