I Love the Endwalker Relic Series

[AceOfCakez]

Just wanted to say thanks to the team for making this relic series so straightforward: just 6000 poetics. It'd be nice if Dawntrail had this and another option for those people who don't want to collect poetics but would rather do stuff like light farm or fate farming.

Please no.

I've always thought that you should be able to do any activity and make progress towards relics. If you have to 'force' players to do specific content, then maybe that content should be changed.

While lazy me liked getting easy access to relics for every job, and all the glams they gave us - I felt a lack of commitment to the relic process and certainly a lack of prestige.

I'd think I prefer they go back to more meaningful journeys, even if it means I have to pick only one job to work on it with.

We still have accessible tomestone that works just fine for all the other jobs.

I mean yeah it's nice now when it's poetics for some glam pieces, but it was bad when it was not poetics and not glam.

I finished a Zodiac weapon for the first time a few months ago. It was long and tedious, but also very fun and rewarding. I'm doing it now on an alt character at current level, because it was just that much fun and memorable.

Resistance weapons are also a long, long process, however the most tedious steps are 1-and-done and don't need to be repeated for subsequent weapons.

Anima weapons are much easier/faster to complete and while most steps are indeed "hand over poetics", it's still a memorable experience and you get so many more glamour pieces.

Handing over 1500 currency/weapon is not memorable, fun or engaging. Yeah it's fine now for glam, but when it was current it was nothing but missing content. Not to mention it had the fewest steps/glam looks ever. Lame. Boring. Don't do it again!

I don't care if they have a tomestone step in for those who want it from the get-go. I just want a story and a setup similar to ARR/HW with specific parameters to fulfill. They could have done with this Endwalker's version by having the items buyable either with tomestones or accessed through quest steps linked to specific content.

They'll likely be tied into the new field operation this time around, like with Eureka and Bozja
I just hope if they do that they actually provide a bonus to the zones like the Eurekan ones giving you elemental bonus since I don't think the Bozjan relics gave you anything which bugged me a lot

Regarding the endwalker relics I don't really have any strong feelings on how they were obtained, though I do agree they were a lot easier to get this time around but whether that's a good thing or not I'm not sure. Personally I don't mind the challenge and it does make them feel more rewarding.

I didn't really care for their design though, as an aside. I like it when the relics have unique looks and want them to better reflect their class like the artifact gear does.

Absolutely not. No thank you. No god please no, nooooooo. Gotta stop it. EW relic was garbage. I want a grind for a special weapon. Gives me something to work towards, Instead of "oop look at that I got enough tomes to get a relic yippee!" Type crap. It was literally a passive relic to get. Not involved in any way.

[Zarkovitch]

It's was alright.
