Cosmic Exploration is CASUAL content with a pinch of midcore

[hydralus]

the reason we want the rellics is because a (current) max level relic gives +35% bonus to Lunar Credits which is the Gashapon reward garbage that has the new space suit, new glasses, a new mount, some really nice Orch scrolls, lots of the new uncommon dyes, some furniture locked behind it and majority of the time all you get is prisms or other garbage that you don't want or need (like the furniture if you don't want it as it sells for pennies). Now I know you can say "just buy it off the MB" but not everyone has loads of gil to throw around even if they are all finally under a mill but that's still a lot of gil when you are also trying to save up for other things and could earn it with time instead of gil, if that Gashapon wasn't a total scam for the majority.

That's doing it the slowest way possible. The quick way would be to do a few hours gathering for essentially anything worth more than 700 gil a piece (should be able to get 1,400 of them casually within an hour), and voila after 2 hours you have all the gil you need to get every reward. No need for RNG. You could have gotten that in the time we've been spending chatting on the forums here and you've saved yourself ~6 hours of grinding out a relic and countless more of grinding currency.

The problem here is that rather than asking if there's a better way, for some reason you're dead set on saying it's an impossible expectation. Yet you think it's more reasonable that a person would spend hours grinding out a relic tool for the +35% gacha currency rather than just getting the gil. Ludicrous.
