The Lessons Not Learned.

Just to add it takes 1,500 Astronomy, not Poetics.

Ah, my apologies. Even so the only options for that are roulettes and some of the easiest max level content this game has ever had.

I am more than fine with that. The relic never was about hard content, there are enough weapons you can get from extremes, savage and ultimate fights.

But... the relic was about grind.

It is simply not okay that I can just buy it with the tomestones I already had with me and be done.

I don't want a free weapon. I want something to do.

Yeah, this is how I feel as well. Relics in ARR and HW gave me a reason to keep logging in every day. I was in the same boat too with the tomestones. Had 1700 on me, and I was done in 5 minutes.

im suspecting the grind may come later during the upgrade stages for the relics. It kind of made sense in a way to not the gate initial base relic weapon this patch behind a huge gate like last time.

To be fair the first step of relic are always the easiest to get

You're not done. You're only at the starting line. Also, you can't "just buy it with the tomestones." By the time you've gotten to that stage, you've already put in hours of Manderville questing. As a veteran player, being able to immediately buy the weapon is a sort of loyalty reward. For newer players and even for older players who have yet to tackle the Manderville quests, they have a ways to go to get to that starting line. I'm looking forward to finding out what the rest of the grind is going to entail. I think it's still a little early to write this off as bad.

Well, you've stated you don't do any hard content, so if it was locked behind that I'm sure you'd still be complaining, just for a different reason.
