After months of work, my plush is finally releasing next week!! Check it out here ► https://www.makeship.com/products/chicken-nugget-squishy-plush
Larry, first rule of getting ARR relic weapons: don’t talk about the steps to make the ARR relic weapons. PTSD intensifies
I stoped in the zenith step in december, still don't have the courage to finish the books, also I want see Larry doing a extreme/ savage with black mage now :v
He called me powerful hehe I still love these relics to this day and am now forcing myself to do all the eureka weapons, almost SOLO as well due to me being on Tonberry and being an EU player. the times I play the game is almost dead but I so enjoy these grinds… No raid or any content will ever outmatch the love I have for ARR and SB relics. Love the vid my dude ♥ ( he says while painfully farming mobs on pyros alone x.x )
I feel like some of the context on Atma and Animus being such horrid steps is lost these days.
Those relic steps were released very close to an item level increase– that's right, Atma and Animus both released on patch 2.2…
So everyone felt like they *HAD* to do these relic weapons, to have a nice i100 weapon for raiding instead of the i95 leviathan extreme or T5 weapons. Well, maybe not everyone, but it was definitely part of what put me off the relic grind initially.
Lawrencezaur? I though your name was Dragon Storm?
He looks more like an onion bomb.
1:45 or you buy ignoring the one guy in the FC who could make it for you for free….no one likes me.
1:20 = I believe Lucy Pyre would approve 🙂
ah yes, i remember now why I only ever did the first step
How can grampa just not go over the other relics??
God this song plays with the strings in my heart. Also great video as always!! ♥
At the time I spent 2 days for an atma. Funnily enough the book grind didn't feel so bad after the atma pain, but then the materia melding, at a time materia weren't as accessible and you could pay 200k for a materia IV… I finally gave up at the light, such tedious gring by killing the same boss again and again no ty
New Gridania – athernet to north shroud was faster for the rich people load times. Just saying 😉
I got my SMN relic right before Endwalker and it was so painful.. Literally cannot fathom doing it while it was current content.
"plz do this stuff while we desperately work to get Heavensward out on time"
next relic will be on loot boxes like Lost ark cuz now is what everyone likes now xD
"Imagine running Aurum Vale 200 times"
haha, I ran Aurum Vale maybe 100-150 times to farm mogtomes. Sometimes with BLU friends, but typically just in duty finder. Levelled my WHM from mid 50 to mid 70 via Aurum Vale. Eventually it became fun, probably the stockholm syndrome.
I started the zodiac relic weapons soon after I reached Lv 80 before EW dropped, so 80 was max at the time…..
Casually farming, I'm now at the "light-farming" step.
The worst was the Alexandrite farming….. because I realized, AFTER obtaining the first 20 alexandrite from farming FATES!!!!, I discovered you could buy 5 alexandrite for 75 total tomestones of poetics each… which blew me away cuz by now SwB endgame, you could easily cap your tomestones to 2k…. I finished the rest of the Alexandrite grind in about an hr or so compared to going on weeks to get the first 20……
but like the maniac I've become, I'm still planning to do the entire relic weapons from all past expansions….
Ahh…. the zodiac relics. Can't forget those! Not after…:
Spending many hours in S.Thanalan for Atma (the worst for me)
Doing the many steps in the books, the waiting for Fates in particular
Spending a stupid amount of gil on materia…
Doing so many dungeons for there drop, being an extremely low drop rate then
75 maps, 1 alexandrite!
Light grinds, took forever for me
Being confused on what stats to choose
All this was for Black Mage btw
And to this day, I still have Paladin, Monk, and Dragoon to finish up, lol
You know, I found it super odd in this game that they added relics the way they did. I mean, FFXIV was known for its casual/healthier progression to get you to try out other fun systems. And there was this bit of… "content" which stood as the mf antithesis of what the whole game's design philosphy.
never have i felt such fear from the phrase "nexus light farming"
i remember the shout arguments ppl had that when odin spawned, the fate drop increased for his fate and also for behemoth, it was insane!! this was before world travel too lol
also i distinctly remember that u had a specific fate in books as well and shouts for "omw to <fate>" were very common
Ah the good 'ol days… sniff
Larry slowly re-losing his mind as he recounts his tale
By the twleve, when I obtained my first ARR relic weapon(Longinus) it cost me 1 Million Gil. The things it required are not cheap from the marketplace. T^T
i remember dragging an FC member through this the day before HW we got it for them at like 4:30 in the morning or so 30 mins before the servers went down for HW… thanks for bringing long repressed painful memories back ;_;
why
I think I only ever made one fully completed relic weapon in ARR in the end. I remember doing Moogle EX and I think garuda hard mode in particular on the rotation for my light farm. I think the reason I barely remember the Zodiac farm was to bleach it from my memory.
Geez, watching this makes me glad I wasn't playing the game back in the day. I got burned out just on trying to finish the Anima weapon not long ago so I never would have made it through all of that nonsense.
I think you forgot to mention this parchment thingy where you have to attach certain materia to… Its a step or two after the Atma farm… and after the books, and after the treasure map thing. I just cant figure it out…
Having done this back then, and watching this video now, I now understand what it must have felt like for World War II veterans to watch Saving Private Ryan.
Dunno how I survived the ARR relic back then, I could only do one. Recently I started picking them up again, and it feels like a breeze. Hahaha ;;
It's been several years and I still break into fits of anger whenever I think about those damn books
hugs I can see the PTS in your voice.
I did the first relic back in the day, got Titan Hard killed when it was "the end game" and quit to only return at HW lol.
Completely glossed over how painful getting even Zenith (or +1 at the time) was! Titan Hard Mode with the severe latency of early ARR, solo tank (almost always a paladin, sorry warriors), and still not even a sure win was certainly something.
Because you loved it and a demon girl said she'd help your drop rate if there was a plushy nuggie involved @Lucy Pyre
If you still wanna do ARR Relic in Endwalker, forewarning here: It will STILL drain your Gils.
I still had to spend probably 2 mil at least, just for getting one ARR Relic to max. This is NOT including the necessary poetics and GC Seals for some items.
As someone who traumatized by doing Anima Light farm right after SB launch, i can't imagine how it felt to grind Zodiac's lights
Despite how painful this can be, I kind of hate the new relic progression, I just finished my ARR whm relic and almost done with my heavensward one and I like that, for the most part you can do it solo and don’t rely on the popularity of content also the designs were just better in the past
I still build zodiac/anima weapons as a hobby. I've gotten quite a few. I'm on the MNK nova step currently. My first zodiac on content was the Nirvana Zeta.
