Should relic stats be tweeked?

If you really want to boil it down to individual time investment, you're looking at a possible 1 (2 if your luck is terrible) total weeks to get someone a relic once everything is learned and beaten. Not really a huge time investment. It just seems that way because everything is new at the moment.

Once everything is learned the only real time factor is how long it takes you to get to a double meld.

Agreed. It's taken us a week to get nearly 12 people from AV Mythril to Ifrit Extreme. Once Ifrit Extreme is beaten, and put on farm status, it's safe to say we can get 12 people a relic in under a week, with AV and CC steps taking 4 hours tops, Faction Leves taking 15 minutes, Ifrit and Garuda taking 1-2 hours. Spiritbonding will take a day for most people, and we farmed 11+ seals per day pre Hamlet seal nerf, I'm sure we could attain 16+ a day now.

We were spoon fed gear in previous patches, now we actually work a week or two for a mild upgrade and the gear is not good enough, despite being best in slot + additional stats and an additional effect?

imo, after doing the faction leves, the stats on the relics seem perfect. I think they will be the perfect enhancement to take on content currently, without content being a complete pushover. If they do boost the DPS on relics, go ahead and throw another 5% HP on Ifrit Extreme and Garuda, as well as every faction leve and everything in AV/CC (essentially any content worth doing that you could use a relic weapon during) to make it fair. This way the community can feel they achieved something great (more luldps on their gaerz), without stealing that sense of accomplishment I've been starved for since day 1.

More politely put; get your relic weapon first, then petition whether you want the stats tweeked or not.

There were some great posts. This one is my favourite.

No way anyone but Japanese players can do it with latency lag to other nations, Europeans will never be able to handle constant eruptions. That alone makes this even dumber.

Did anyone ever consider maybe your characters just aren't strong enough to beat ifrit? Maybe they are trying to get ppl to triple/quad/quint meld things, lol.

Is relic worth it? Depends on which one you're talking about. I know I'm working towards Curtana because that refresh on the shield and chance to regain MP on sword is just too good to pass up. PLD without refresh is like trying to eat a whole pack of Oreos without milk: possible, but more challenging than it needs to be.

some the people in this thread make me sick... Why does everyone want things so easy... Let the hardcore players have something to go after damn.. Not everything in the game needs to be about the casuals. Also I hope no one can beat ifrit. That would be awesome!

The weapons themselves are not worth my effort but the name of the achievement for Gae Bolg has won my heart!

Knowing that Primals will work in an entirely different way in 2.0 (unique world-roaming monsters which can be summoned by player companies once-defeated), I can't see this remaining a requirement for Relic weapons after this version ends.

Thus: not worth my time, or anyone's from my point of view.
