(a) The only cockblock to getting a relic is grinding Tomestones, there is literally no other part of the quest that is hard and given 2000/2000 Tomestones you could do 2 completely different Relic quests in a matter of 3 hours.

Their intention or no, they've made a system that people generally enjoy (tokens, working towards a goal) and then shit on it by making it unenjoyable.

When I logged in today, this was what the game recommended to me:


There is one event in that list that I would do, and I only need to do it 2-3 times a week to cap out Mythology. Because of (a), there isn't a reason to really farm Primals nor would there be anyway because you could just do (a) again. That content is essentially dead. The story missions are complete zzz and I'd have to spend 6 hours doing them to get enough tokens for one crafting item. Ampador/crafted/DL is completely acceptable mix to beat Coil, so there isn't any real reason to go out of your way to grind anything past your 300 Mythology unless you are doing (a).
