The materials are dirt cheap though and fall in price by the minute on the marketboard.
While I would have liked alternatives to the crafting step like getting materials from battles for the battle relic, they are by no means a wall in any way.


For the topic overall:
I really hope relics change next expansion because right now, no one is really happy with one side wanting more to grind and the wrong other side wanting less.
Just give more options to obtain the individual step goals, make the relic more intractable from the start in it's stats and, for the love of god, bring them earlier.
It's frankly criminal that this relic step is more or less at the same time as the Tomestone weapon is available.

I also really don't like the bait at the beginning of this relic step. You show us three different methods for strengthening the weapon but of course only one is available, namely the one to make Gerold's tools for the weapon better. Can't have a relic without the stupid only Tomestones right?

@the devs, though I know you don't care for the opinions of your players.
The relics are content for the ones who liked to invest time so maybe you could start finally listening and give OPTIONS for the DAMN SECOND STEP NEXT TO TOMESTONES!
How many people, with even Mr. Happy saying that repeatedly, do you need to finally get up from ignoring that obvious solution?
