Tomestones.. Again.. for a relic..

[Ajayrious]

In my opinion the best way would be a Eureka style zone in the 6.x5 patch (but one that allowed you to queue for stuff whilst inside and we know they can do it because it works in Island Sanctuary).

And then the next numbered patch (so 6.4) they add a tomestone grind as a way of catching up so people dont get left behind.

Whilst have mixed opinions where this is concerned, I am going to acknowledge the irony of the fact that the 'Realms' quests actually provided something of a 4th wall scenario with regard to Tomestones:

I'm very happy with this and idk how anyone could call it "devs being lazy" lmao. The instruction "gather 1.5k more tomes of astronomy" takes no more effort than "grind 60 FATEs in areas that aren't event current-content." It's a refreshing change of pace. Anyone dying for the grueling relic grind of past expansions can go start another weapon from a past expansion.

The issue is that Yoshi said that this relic would be comparable to the ARR/Heavensward relics. We haven't seen any of that yet so people have a right to be upset and ask for clarification and voice concerns. I'm glad it works for you but people were being led to believe it would be different.

I'm questioning your sanity if you prefer bozja relic because, who in right minds prefer DR than a simple 1.5k tomestones?

People who pay a sub to play this game..? c.c,,

I am rather questioning the sanity of people who pay a sub to not play the game...

Yet you have to play to amass the 1.5k so this post is off. Yall are talking like you can move your character 3 meters and be done

People are simplifying it a lot, but they're not wrong.

The Relic steps should be unique and make you experience different pieces of content in-game.

Yes but after thinking about this I'll take a tomestone grind to running LOTA or Orbonne etc ad naueum for tokens/drops whatever which is certainly not fun in my view. I can still remember vividly running Quarn Hard 50 times before i got my relic drop. I am not a fan of the HW blueprint for relic and In lieu of a real Exploratory Zone or totally new relic focused content I'll do my hunts and tomestone grind and be happy with it.

For me I hope exploratory zones will be back in 7.0. Certainly too late for that and hopefully not too late for the team to rethink this and give them back to us with the new xpac.

Well this is exactly what I did both of these steps because I already had the 1500 tomes. So it was literally zero effort, zero achivement, zero reason to log in the next day or the rest of the month that I subbed for.

And I dont want to get a relic for all 19 jobs. The vast majority of jobs I level to 90 and then don't touch until the next expansion (because theres no max level content to do on them (this is what the relic should be!!) outside of raiding).
