why do you get relic upgrade materials from crystal tower?

[Listrella]

Those raids are overstuffed on on the alliance roulette as it is, now ppl are going to be getting them constantly, why couldn't you give the level 60 or 70 raids some exposure, i'm fed up of running syrcus tower for the 100th time.

Guess alliance roulette will be getting an influx of nudists

[Infindox]

I'm... Confused why they didn't do something like the HW 24-mans. Those are almost non-existent on the Roulette. If you suggest there's some lore reason.... Doing HW 60 dungeons/Leveling Roulette and fates in HW areas weren't exactly much with lore to begin with.

Rumours say 2and Step requires Mhach and Ivalice.

[swiss_Momo]

Yeah, from what I've seen the 2nd step tokens drop from Mhach and Ivalice raids, but with the alternative option to... farm Stormblood fates.

SE knows its the least seen raid and again, we get to farm it. Earlier relics involved CT many times too. And I dont want to understand why they lock the relic behind the most boring content in FFXIV. Lets not forget all the new gauges, skills and abilities are locked, unusable. The most zzz-relic grind up to date.

Tbh I'd take the fates over doing some of the Ivalice raids, as much as I like them (espically the last one) they are pretty long. If HW ones I could deal with Void Ark.
But hey if it gets them to pop more often for people then that's good.

It's horrible actually. 15 crystal tower runs PER relic. CEs over in Bozja only have a CHANCE at dropping ONE memory. You are better off spamming crystal tower raids. People are gonna be in there for a LONG time.

So it went from "handing you the weapon almost for free" back to "soulcrushing grind"
There's this concept called "healty middle ground" Yoshida, ever heard of it?

[Steviejd]

Is it really a "soul-crushing grind" though? Get a couple a day and you are done in a week.
