    Why do so many people say getting a relic is all about luck? Lol. Seals are really only about luck if you pug. They are very common drops most the time (though I have seens many runs without them, they are still pretty common). If you just buy a double meld then you take the luck out of that since someone else wasted their time to do it and usually there are always double melds up. Killing stronghold NM isn't luck. Doing 17 cc/av isn't luck. Doing 15 DH isn't luck. 1k Caravan can somewhat be luck but also requires non lucky things to get it. Behest doesn't require luck. Currency I guess can be considered luck if you farm since it has RNG of dropping? You can buy currency off wards though. SBing isn't luck. The leves aren't luck. Garuda isn't luck, Ifrit Extreme isn't luck.

    Wow..... getting a relic really requires a lot of luck el oh el.

There needs to be more objective based parts of the relic quest to make it actually take a more set amount of time, and not some POS imbalanced RNG sink in it that makes it take as long as it takes to get the melded weapon, which is... random.
    hey you added more specifics to what I said earlier..

    But, because of how the quest is, once the -luck and/or gil spending- portion is done, everything else can be K.O.d pretty fast with nothing but re-entry timers stopping you. Most of it has very little fun-factor in it either, as repetition isn't really fun.

    Still hopin they plan on major improvements to the quest or new quests for aquisition for relic weapons~

    Wait, aren't you that guy that makes threads and shouts to buy white ravens and Ifrit extreme? Surely you are totally qualified to speak about luck.

    Nah I only shouted to buy White Ravens and I carried my own. Thank you for qualifying me in your book!

    Earth formed around 4.54 billion (4.54×109) years ago by accretion from the solar nebula. Volcanic outgassing likely created the primordial atmosphere, but it contained almost no oxygen and would have been toxic to humans and most modern life. Much of the Earth was molten because of extreme volcanism and frequent collisions with other bodies. One very large collision is thought to have been responsible for tilting the Earth at an angle and forming the Moon. Over time, such cosmic bombardments ceased, allowing the planet to cool and form a solid crust. Water that was brought here by comets and asteroids condensed into clouds and the oceans took shape. Earth was finally hospitable to life, and the earliest forms that arose enriched the atmosphere with oxygen. Life on Earth remained small and microscopic for at least one billion years. About 580 million years ago, complex multicellular life arose, and during the Cambrian period it experienced a rapid diversification into most major phyla. Around six million years ago, the primate lineage that would lead to chimpanzees (the closest relatives of humans) diverged from the lineage that would lead to modern humans.

    Biological and geological change has been constantly occurring on our planet since the time of its formation. Organisms continuously evolve, taking on new forms or going extinct in response to an ever-changing planet. The process of plate tectonics has played a major role in the shaping of Earth's oceans and continents, as well as the life they harbor. The biosphere, in turn, has had a significant effect on the atmosphere and other abiotic conditions on the planet, such as the formation of the ozone layer, the proliferation of oxygen, and the creation of soil. Though humans are unable to perceive it due to their relatively brief life spans, this change is ongoing and will continue for the next few billion years.
