So I quit a while back when Void ark came out and just came back. Im on the part where you need 40 unidentifiable items.

My question is, Will I have to do all of this to start Samurai's Stormblood relic?

Im not worried about skipping the first stage if its like heavensward was. My main concern is how far behind I am and needing around 25k Lore to finish. Is it better for me to just farm up tomes and wait for Stormblood or finish the relic? I don't really wanna put all the effort in when im not even going to be playing BRD anymore after that anyways.

Will I start the heavensward relic or the stormblood one if I stop at my current point?
