People like you will never be satisfied.

1500 tomes is better than being forced to do like 60 fates, or some duty 10-20 times for one step. God forbid you get to work on your relics from basically everything. You can't tell me you seriously want to go back to doing something like running Hell's lid 15 times, alliance raid 15 times, or like 60 fates.

The people that complained got what they wanted. Several hours of grind to complete the first step, and then its just 1500 tomes.

There's so much dishonesty about this kind of take on the relics.

The bigger issue is that the relic is useless. It doesnt do anything for OC and its not even 755 to have any kind of relevance.
