The Lessons Not Learned.

And others could just turn in their old relic and be done. Just like someone that has already farmed the 1.500 stones can turn it in right away, while someone like me who has just bought some gear will need to do quite a bit of content to get back there.

That is also only for one relic. Those of us who play more than one job will also have quite some things to grind.

Don't forget those like me who are collectors and will end up with all the relics finished.

Please see bolded part from my initial post in this thread.

You sure got on your high horse pretty quickly in the posts after that though, despite forgetting about a relic that isn't even as old as the 2.0 one.

It's amusing that you're comparing the 2.0 Zeta grind to something short like 1500 tomestones.

It was incredibly rare to find someone who finished all the Zeta weapons during ARR. But you wouldn't know, considering you haven't even finished a Zeta relic until 2020.

I had 3 of them by then lol. All done before each step was nerfed.

Congrats? I finished the DRG, WHM and PLD ones during ARR. Point remains that the majority of the players going into Heavensward didn't have one, and had to do the first step properly.

And your point? I never claimed that I did them before HW. Hell, I didn't start playing until April 2015, so only a few months pre-HW. I only stated that I am collecting all of them.

I did all Bozja prior to any nerfs to it, I did up to Pyros with everything and those haven't been nerfed other than being able to buy the zones boss pieces from a vendor for the zones crystals. I will get all of the EW relics pre-nerf as well, as it gives me something to actually do in game other than send retainers/airship/submersible out, weekly deliveries, and WT every two weeks because that's basically how much I've been playing lately.

Edit: Also, for the HW relics, I had BLM, PLD, DRG, AST, and I think at least one more done before that started the nerfs on that. I knew there was the crystal farming, but wasn't sure if it was first step or not.
