    Eh they so rarely extend maintenances and often end early it's w/e and the schedule is better than "in the fucking middle of the day"

    In light of this atma grind v2 and having a zeta lets you skip it (is how i understood it from the reddit thread), i wonder if it's actually better to grind for a zeta to avoid this step.

    What are the light values these days? Or is that still a ball ache to grind for.

    I'm betting the only bonus Zeta gives is not having to buy an eso weapon for the quest.. you can start the anima weapon with either a zeta weapon OR an eso weapon lol.

    I remember an FC friend doing a whole relic it in a weekend solo/using DF. With a premade, could well be much quicker.

    I'm thinking the last step will require 1 of each unidentified items. You can purchase them from beastmen tribes at 13 a piece or vanu for 18. Did this just time gate the weapon?

    It looks like you can get the shell and ore from maps. I'm not seeing the other 2 though.

    Also you can only get 3 a day. I think only from highest rank?

    Oh you can, neat. I might just do the beastmen route though. Not sure I could stand doing through a bunch of runs of alex normal. I'm guessing it would be one guaranteed from each turn so 40 runs? 10 each turn?

    You can get 2 from law tomes and the other two from poetics. If the relic only requires 1 of each it wouldn't take that long so I'm guessing you need more.

    Holy shit lmao. Those synths aren't "easy" either, you'll need someone kitted out in at least partial red scrip gear to HQ those reliably. Needing 4 of each is brutal.

    All for 1 weapon damage

    How many tokens do you get per beastmen quest? if it's close to 3 months worth of dailies to get all 80 items (less if you decide to grind some of the nearly 60k tomes or 200 alex items per piece!) then l o fucking l

  17. #57

    1 token per beast quest (you get 3 per day per tribe - you can do it for 4 tribes a day)

    So 87 days worth of beastmen dailies, 54,400 law tomes, or 800 alexander normal mode drops (or a mix of all 3). Reasonable.

    Still don't see why they don't let tomes go beyond 2k limit when they start doing stuff like this lol. It's good for those who bothered with BDs but, those who cared less for it beyond getting easier craft mats back in the day...well. Rip.

    I would honestly be glad that there is something to work on in the long term, if these weapons wouldn't be fucking worthless in three patches anyway. The DRK weapon looks good to me, but not for the loops you need to jump through to get it.
