Thread: A Relic Re-Re-Reborn (4.0)

Whatever Yoshi P says, I will be shocked if the new relic doesn't involve massive grinding of old content. It's simply too enormously successful a strategy for this game. Thanks to the various relic grinds people DID FATES. They RAN OLD DUNGEONS over and over and over and over. They EVEN DID CRYSTAL TOWER (for a little while, anyway).

We might get something unique for the first and/or last stages, but if the middling stages don't follow the same patterns we've seen time and again, I'll be surprised. Pleasantly surprised, but surprised nonetheless.

As this weapon follows a different design philosophy and they want everyone to start at the same point your current Anima Lux will not allow you to skip the first step of the next weapon.

If that is the case, then one wonders what SE will do to rejuvenate the old areas and content to bring players back to them.

Unless they make the zone available to everyone then I can't do it. My FC is poor and doesn't have any airships.... much less a house.

If it's anything like the HW exploratory missions, there will be an NPC that can send you there with your pre-made party, or a DF party. All it took was buying the mission voucher(for gil) from a NPC close to the entrance NPC.

So you answered your own question...you did if for the stats not just glamour. I'm really glad they are not giving people a head start this time around, no mater how small...

I'm glad to know other people's advantages and disadvantages affect your life so much you glean happiness from knowing they'll have none :3

Let me predict

1-Boring Fate grind for low RNG drops (oh yeah)
2-Low lv dungeons runs (yay)
3-10K tomestone grinding for a stupid item that cost 500


I really miss the first step of ARR relic. Some trials, hard modes...good times.

I agree. I liked having those special bosses. I also like it when you're given a specific instance to complete. Specific tasks feel much less grindy than "spam this thing to earn a currency to buy a bunch of this random item."
