I'm Still Enjoying the Relic Step

[OliverQ]

I already finished the new relic step and buying my 3rd relic. I really love the new glow effect on these. For most of them, it's now my favorite 2nd stage relic glow they've ever done. Just super clean with an awesome solar flare ejection type effect. I love it. My only complaint is the SCH/SMN books a bit disappointing - the glow is a bit too small, and I'm not super crazy about a lot of the base models especially SGE. So while the glow is awesome, I wish more of the base models looked better.

RPR base and glow in teh design don't look good. But thats just me. I like how the glows actually come off the weapons end for most of the up close jobs. MNK look like draogn fly wings with glow. Now you can't unsee it

I'm loving this new step.

It's giving me a reason to do roulettes I've normally skipped (Trials Roulette at max level gives meager rewards for the time spent in it and High Level Dungeons give no top tier tomestones). And a lot less RNG than the previous phase, especially the Verdigris DemiAtma CE was spawned by only killing Inkblots.

Now the RNG is which content you pull up from the roulette. Get the mandatory for MSQ CT, you get less light. Get Nier or Jeuno, get more.

I think if I would change anything about it, I would give the roulettes a base amount similar to how we did light steps in the past where specific instances had base amounts. Then if they wanted to introduce variability on the bonus, that might be one place. But honestly I think the variability based on time expenditure is really hurting players especially in alliance raid, because CT is and always will be more prominent as it is required for the MSQ.

If they did a variable bonus, then it should consider bonuses based on level of content instead of average time. Though even that could lead to issues, where people would leave all the lower level instances.

So I think the best option is what we had in previous steps. Have the base amount then have certain times of the day where there is a bonus. Make it unpredictable, so that encourages players to utilize the roulette more than just once a day. And there would still be the base amount that players could get for each roulette they did. They would just get that unexpected bonus sometimes like we did with light before.

That way no one is encouraged to leave certain duties since they would all give the same base amount and the bonus wouldn't be based on which duty came up.

SMN/SCH relic book looks stupid with that half assed corner glow. I glamoured it with my HW Lux book. So much better lol not gonna get my hopes up for the 3rd and final step when we get to that down the road later on.

I finished the relic last night. I went ahead, completed my Light farm objective and dont get any reward. Like, alright. I complete the tedious task, I run roulettes back and forth - and no I havent grinded to much, I took my time and did daily roulettes.

For the last step, I'm supposed to bring another 1500 tomestones, great. I had enough, but mistake on me, I bought the old material from the vendor. And now, I'm here like - great back to roulette grinding more tomes.

It's frustrating, cause you cannot exchange the materials back. And there is literally no reward for ending this Light grind? No, I'm supposed to pay my 1500 tomes first.

after you get hte light done the next quest is suppose to give you your first upgrade for free. If i read it right the tomestones for upgrades are a reward. you can do this relic step apssively while still being able to cap your 100 tomestones. Got them capped already? use it for materials, or better gear. Cap them again while doping the daily bonus light

You don't get a free weapon after light, you have to pay for it.

With Gerolt exuding aetheric energies, all that remains is to procure raw materials to begin the enhancement process. Thankfully, it appears the survey team have managed to extract a sizable quantity of waxing arcanite, which will be necessary to refine your phantom weapon. Given ongoing contractual obligations to the House of Splendors, however, you will need to purchase the requisite three chunks of ore from Ermina, their mercantile representative on the isle. Dodokkuli, meanwhile, waits patiently by the smithy, ready to receive the ore for preliminary processing.

※You may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.
※Chunks of waxing arcanite can be obtained from Ermina in the phantom village.

I just completed the light quest. Got told to buy the ore, down 1500 tomes for the ore, and when the quest was completed the ore was gone.

The roulettes are making me sink into a depressive state while playing. So to cope I am literally doing my rotation while watching something else on the other screen. I'm about halfway done now.
I was hoping to have the step be doable via fates, since I wanted to level jobs and do the relic as well as gather up gems for tickets to grab the little mount. No such luck. Suffering it is.

At least I am making decent headway into watching supernatural.

The 1,500 tomes per weapon is a joke and should be eliminated. Even 500 tomes per weapon is a better solution.
