Did the OP do a "why are the Amazing Mandeville relics bad" thread that I missed or is it still a work in progress?

It's pretty dumb to compare the first stage of the relic tool against the Indagator tools when the Indagator tools are the best crafted tool we will get this expansion while chances are good we'll have at least 2 more upgrade stages for the relic tools.

It's even dumber to talk about the value of the relic tools compared to Indagator tools in macro crafting considering the majority of those who macro craft are:

1) relying on others to create those macros for them in the first place, and
2) more likely to have been using Pactmaker or Perfectionist tools before acquiring the relic tool.
