how are people able to grind multiple relic weapons without burning out?

[Mitziete]

So i've been grinding the resistance relics for a while, i'm on the one where u need 18 of 2 different memories and i've been doing this slowly for months, how are people able to like, grind these relics out within such a fast amount of time at release? is it just having a premade group to do these runs as fast as possible?

and if you do it how are you able to do it without burning out on those raids?

its just a regular mmo grind. and its a pretty tame one aswell believe it or not. and some players are just more dedicated than others on such things.

the ARR relic when it was max level content was FAR FAR more grind than this one which is tbh the quickest one we have recived so far. only the 4.x series relic comes close in how quick this one went. 3.x series and 2.x series ones took way more grinding to finish compared.

One thing to note though is that you are at the stage that subsequent relics you decide on doing will skip. The 18 runs of Ivalice and Void Ark raids is skipped after you aquire the Augmented Law Order relic you a currently working for. This is actually something new SE seems to be trying.

It's called "embracing the suck"

To conciuosly accept and appreciate something that is extremly unpleasant but unavoidable for forward progression

I would put the current expansion relics somewhere between Stormblood and ARR in terms of grind. HW relics are stupid easy to get now, if you are leveling secondary jobs you will be drowning in poetics. Stormblood ones take a lot of grinding, but the Eureka zones are actually varied and enjoyable IMO, so I didn't really mind doing it until Hydatos and that is just because you go from getting 20-50 crystals in all the previous zones to getting 5-10. I could never bring myself to complete the ARR book stage and don't see myself doing it, that just looks like a miserable experience.

All the stages prior to 5.45 were REALLY easy to grind out on Shadowbringer relics. Poetics for the first tier and just grinding FATEs (you can knock out a whole upgrade in like a couple hours). Then it's just blazing through either Antitower with a group or Pharos Sirius Hard with squad, either way less than 90 minutes per weapon. But, hoo boy this latest step... The Crystal Tower raids can be knocked out pretty fast, but you are looking at a good 8+ hours to knock out the FATEs for the second part (still faster than doing the raids), and another 12+ hours doing DR per weapon, which even in a good group takes 35-40 minutes, frequently 50+. I have only done it once and was so bitter and frustrated after 15 runs that I will not do that again until they nerf the number or add in extra sources. I cannot stand DR (same goes for Bozja in general) and forcing myself to do it 15 times almost burned me out completely.

That step where you need 18 of different alliance raid is just for the first relic. Subsequent relics do not require that step anymore. Got 6 maxed out so far. DR normal spam run do help though

Because the current relic grind is actually not that bad. At least when you compare to the ARR grind for people like me who've done it when it was current. The worst steps at the moment is the most current step and the one were you have to do fates in Stormblood zones and that's just a one time deal.

That and most people don't take several months to do the SB fate step. Took me about five or so hours to do in a single day.

[Nerevar]

given you can just use BLU for fates they drop silly quickly. chocomet just destroys fates.

Some people just like grindy things. My wife loves SMT and will spend hours grinding a single hallway, for example.
