[Lavieh]

Hi Lavieh, not sure if you read all my posts, as I said earlier I only considered RNG Hamlet and the dmeld, as I specified twice on my aforementioned posts. I did flag the quest. In fact, I was gonna work on MNK first, but got lucky on a 1/1 Astrolabe doublemeld (that I did myself, and I'm really happy about). I busted my ass for a week to get my last 8 seals, going to the point of not even sleeping the night before getting my last one from GB. Got my three ores in a night and got two salts right before save.

I'm not going to get defensive by the fact that you call me the bane of MMOs, because I think you didn't get my point at all. I didn't complain about RNG, I just said it was a bottleneck. I've had my share for many years of RNG in FFXI, and I dealt with it just fine. I'm aware of the difficulty of the relic quest. I helped my friends before I had my doublemeld (or had even thought of going for relic). Basically I've done all the steps of relic (even helped in some Ifrit X runs) without needing them. It was fun and enjoyable seeing my friends achieve such feats.

We're not keeping the weapons, I just don't see why people attack people that want them to be kept. Even if people got to keep them (we won't), I don't see why people that want the challenge could just do the quest, and toss it before picking the "real" one up. But all this is silly because no, we won't get to keep them and no amount of whining will make us keep our tooth-fairy relics.

Oh Well : O, my bad! I just happen to have read one of your posts. When you enter a thread and see something sticking out then you don't really bother going back. I just have a rant for all the Anti-RNG people out there^^ Sorry for not doing my research : D.

Who knows maybe SE will be like "Kill ifritx and keep a relic" lol.

^^ fixed it for you.

Battling RNG is time consuming and frustrating, but there is nothing difficult about it. Personally, I'll stick to melding for good gear until RNG and speed runs are removed or the reliance on them is reduced, simply for the fact that with melding the only frustrated player I have to deal with is myself. I hate doing dungeons when everyone is completely frustrated that every win isn't a speed run, because one little thing went wrong and reduced the drop rate. Some (a lot of) players can be complete douchebags when they don't get what they want.

If something takes awhile to complete and requires effort/time it can easily be considered "Hard"

time consuming =/= hard

Why dont you get the speed chest if one little thing goes wrong, its a 25 minute timer in a dungeon that only takes 15 minutes. You should have plenty of extra time even if you wipe.

please dont pretend you didnt get relics because you didnt want too, and just admit that you didnt cause you cant.

You're funny. I didn't try because of the reasons I mentioned. I don't have to justify myself to you. But if you'd like ask anyone in my ls to recall the LS meeting I had with them after the introduction of the relic quest.

I gave my reasons. You can believe it or not. I don't care.

its so hard to believe someone didn't madly work on the relic, or work on it at all, quest because they didnt want to :/

I didn't want to because there are other fun games where "working" towards an item is actually fun and not the most boring, monotonous thing ever.

Yeah, I said it.
