It's not Eureka, so I feel I must approve of the new relic in the strongest possible terms.

As long as SE gives us a relic grind that
a) has more than one path to completion (so anything with tomestones by default, though there are other ways) and
b) does not require the use of party finder to make any progress (seriously, the whole damn point of a relic grind is something to do solo or in DF)
I will approve in the strongest possible terms. Stormblood didn't even have a relic in my opinion, just a Eureka weapon, similar to a PotD weapon.

Still, I kind of wish there was, you know, an *actual* grind...
