Give the possible Eureka 5.X its own weapon, and separate Relic from it

[Reynhart]

I think an alternative way to get the relic weapon would be possible, similar to how people these days use Eureka opposed to running roulettes for tomes.

But that's because tomestones are the universal currency to ensure that everyone has access to everything, so it makes them to put them in pretty much all instances.

Also, an old fashioned relic grind seems pretty redundant, as you point out a grind already exists where you can do a whole bunch of different things at your leisure in order to get a decent weapon.

That's the point I tried to make several times in the past. Tome weapons and Wondrous Tails took both purpose of the past relic weapons, so there's no strategic reason to put the next one there...unless they do the same for every endgame weapon in the game, which would probably kill lots of content.
