The added Aetheryte to Mor Dhona will apparently not effect the achievement from what they footnoted.

[dev1426] Treasure coffers have been added in the following areas:
The Aurum Vale / Cutter's Cry
* These coffers will only appear after accepting the quest “A Relic Reborn” and fulfilling certain special requirements.

So getting relic weapons also requires that you spam AV and CC and get item form a random coffer? FUCK YOU SE why do i throw money at you!!!!! Could be worse, could require 500,000,000 million gil worth of ancient beast currency!Balon The Grey

I would gladly throw a pile of money at the best weapon in the game. I hope I don't end up slicing my thighs before I can get some damn Spharai.

So now that the relic weapon questline has been revealed let's count all the shovel-tasks we know of to get one weapon. Fun times for all!

1. Grinding 25k seals for the book.
2a. Optional grinding to fight the entire server on turn ins/caravans for all three Hamlet Defense areas to get in the top3/20 for a chance of a small loot increase.
2b. Grinding 3 separate timed events requiring a full party of 8 (Hamlet Defense) for a very low chance RNG drop (Beast Seal), 3 from each equaling 9.
Possible 3. AV and CC coffers. Is it a random loot drop you have to fight your party over? or is it like AF where you just have the quest and it pops up for all who have it?

I really wanted to do every quest that I could, but this is one I might just have to skip. I can't even get past the 2nd shovel-task with my shit luck. If I had to get another random drop from an instance the chance of me finishing even one weapon is slim to none.

[dev1442] The area of effect for the chimera Voice of the Dragon action has been expanded.
Ugh.

At least there are some awesome things to come along with the patch. Yay new quests and teamwork between GCs.

Well again, it looks like the Primal Seal/25k seal item is a one-time deal to unlock the "A Relic Reborn" quest. Yeah it sucks but if we only have to do it once I think I could deal. If it's for every weapon then yeah, fuck that. I've heard people claiming a up to 30% drop rate over 300 runs for the Hamlet defense.

Then it's AV/CC farming which we've been doing for Darklight anyway, kill two birds with one stone.

But that's point of my post (I did mention a single weapon). You have to get past that first hump before you can even open up the quest. Coming from someone who has shit all for luck with drops a 30% drop rate over 300 runs (what score in Hamlet Defense btw?) is alright for equipment drops like Moggle Mog and Ifrit, but for a story quest it's bullshit.

Insert some white knight talking about how relic weapons should be rare and that anyone asking for a reasonable task is just wanting shit handed to them.

I don't care if the task is hard. I am not the type to cheese quests just because I can. If that were the case I would have been riding BLM burns. What I do ask is that quest shit is at least obtainable if you work for it. Unless you get lucky just starting this quest is full time job and even then there is a possibility that you will never even unlock the quest, even if you spam Hamlets till 2.0. I want people, myself included, to be rewarded for "hard work" doing quests, not given the finger because they want to artificially extend content for a few unemployed hardcores that sit in the game 24/7. I got enough of that shit in other MMOs.

I don't mind it that much, although pt is right its total bullshit, long as the prereqs are required once and the quest itself is challenging and maybe even "Fun!" with a different quest for each weapon. I like a challenge i also hate myself enough to do that shit.
