So why are the crafter relics.. bad.

Anyway, how hard are the relics to get? I have pentamelded Indagator for body gear and accessories, but single-melded tools, is that difference going to be in any way substantial?

I managed it easy enough with non-pentamelded Indigator stuff, so if you have anything pentamelded, you're already a step ahead of me.

Took a bit of testing to finagle my rotation into maximising my output, but in the end it wasn't too bad. Worst case scenario you need to make 10%* more of the mats than a full pentameld gear set would need, but it's absolutely possible.

*disclaimer, this figure has been entirely guesstimated, I can't actually remember
