Is it time for relics to be the same ilevel as savage weapons?

[PArcher]

The relic should be the best weapon in the game given how much effort you put into it. More than some people put into savage weapons for sure. Even Ultimate Coil only needs ONE clear to get a weapon, while the Relic takes months of grind.

Time =/= effort. Relics are always a mostly mindless grind, and as long as you can 1-2-3 decently you can get one.

Only relic stage that was ever hard was killing Titan Hard at 2.0 launch...and since then, there have been no hard steps to the relic at all. They've either been a time-sink or money-sink. And neither is honestly comparable to the effort raiders make clearing raids

EDIT: If relics actually required raiding, that would be another story...and would also prevent 95% or more of the playerbase from getting them. As it is, best weapons and armor should belong to those who need them and put in the real effort to getting them.
