Tomestones.. Again.. for a relic..

[LianaThorne]

Can still play the game. Playing is required to gather the tomes needed.

I suspect the people who want the excruciating grind only do a handful of relics, if more than 1, and go back to bees kneesing in Limsa. Because people do pay their sub to do just that.

I do not want an excruciating grind to be able to obtain every relic. I should be able to get home from work and not feel this game has become a second job, I should feel like I can do other things, play other games, or log into my potato alt.

Farm X number of (insert old content here), or grind X fates in an old expansion are not more content or more diverse than collect set number of tomes.

As someone who did multiple ShB relics (I believe 6-8), I enjoyed the grind. It gave me fulfillment and also motivated me to push for some harder achievements in Bozja/Zadnor since I liked it so much. I'm also deathly allergic to Limsa and the bees knees, if you didn't know.

I just wish it was something *more* than just: plz gib 1500 tomestones x2. Like, literally anything other than just a repeat of the first step. It could have been a custom dungeon that you only need to run once to get the drop you need to upgrade and takes 10m to complete or completing a FATE specific for the relic twice that doesn't involve RNG. Like, literally anything. Just, I'm hoping it adds more over time than just a continuous tomestone turn in and we get to see some of what I and others were used to from previous relics.
