I did exactly that. I logged in, did the Hildibrand quests that didn't really last that long (I even watched the cutscenes), and got my 'Majestic' relic weapon instantly with tomes I already had. I remember the days when getting a relic step done felt like I had accomplished something. I felt none of that satisfaction. There was no joy or feeling of accomplishment from completing this 'step'. Only pure indifference. I had done nothing but check a box on a list of things to dump tomes into. Perhaps if the effort required to get it wasn't the exact opposite of 'majestic', it would have feel more like an accomplishment.
