Thread: Clarification on Relic Quest in 2.0 in regards to Speed Runs

Now, I saw the thread and the information regarding Speed Runs being gone in 2.0, and how Dungeons will be designed to purposely take alot longer, yet there's alot of other information that states the Relic Quest won't be changing and can't seem to find any information (that's official) saying that this also means the Speed Run requirement for the Mythril/Salt (AV/CC) portion of the quest will no longer require speed runs as well?

If there has been posted information and I cannot find it, I would appreciate if someone could link me. If not, could I get a community representative to answer on this if possible? Just clarification on whether or not Speed Runs are also out the window in terms of being a requirement for Relic (specifically for AV/CC) or if that's also one thing about the Relic Quest that won't be changing. Thank you.

I totally agree, which is why I was asking. It doesn't quite make sense to have Speed Runs in CC/AV if they're intending to make the instance longer? It'd be nice to know either way. I'm able to do them currently, with some effort of course, but like most I do not like the Speed Run concept as a requirement to accomplish things such as Relic. Hopefully they'll clarify this soon.

Personally, I don't think speed runs are good for regular loot...but for something like the relic quest, which is basically showing you've got every aspect of the game down very well, I think speed runs are appropriate. Of course this is just based off the raids we have now, and I can't really speak for future ones.

Oh, but I thought speed-runs were like AV, DD, CC? That's what I meant. Any of the AF quests that involve those zones I'm holding out on until later.

EDIT: The only speed-run I think I've done was for a GC quest. I have not gotten towards the end-game because I'm taking my time playing the game and I'm trying to save/obtain gil.
