Yesterday my WHOLE party had some kind of useful Essence ins Delubrum Normal. Things were melting so quick I almost cried.

[avstzn]

I grinded fates in between void ark and rab queues and sped through the step a lot faster than I expected to that way. Thank you for the video!’

[arturius]

I was pissed off at every step 😄....mainly because I think the best way to do the relic should have been in Bozja. That way I could rank with mettle at the same time. Also, Castrum and DR should have dropped a lot of mettle

[zachmileshydra]

seeing how castrum is a bottleneck now makes me happy I spent weeks doing it when it first came out. granted back then it was still a pain to que for but at least you had people who knew how to consistently clear it after waiting for so long. shout channels have just been a salt fest of people who failed it even after they had enough people.

[Exponential_Entropy]

I really question whether SE really thought the entirety of Shb relics through. Why is Bozja the worst route to do the relics?? I get that they wanted players to have alternatives outside of Bozja but instead of making it easier to do the relic inside of Bozja they did the opposite. It's like they wanted to kill Bozja as soon as possible. And now players are left bashing their heads on their keyboards while sitting through hours upon hours of mindless braindead 24 man raids. Definitely the laziest relic questline for an expansion.

Wish they'd improve the droprates within Bozja. At least Eureka promoted playing the new zones... We'll have to see what they do with the Castrum hotfix coming up this week, because as it stands it feels like Bozja and Castrum are nearly worthless for relic progression beyond the initial clear.

[DeathKorpsMailman]

The problem is you have to rank up in Bozja... And I cannot express how much I hate that stupid place. It's not the least bit fun, and whomever designed it should be fired immediately. Got to rank 7 and couldn't take it anymore.

Hello fellow lalafell gunbreaker. I want the gunbreaker relic so bad but got so little time nowadays. Nice video btw.

[eltoncdb]

At least in Elemental there are a lot of PF group of Void Ark and Rabanastre with Blue Mage DPS which makes the runs very fast and fun, I did all 36 raids last weekend which isn't that bad for a one-time step.

[CarToOxX]

potd with 3 friends starting stage 50 is sooo good to farm the last stage

[azaeVids]

this doesn't help when you don't name the items

[Goosey_Loosey]

15 runs of DR is going to be a pain in the ass.

I think theres unfortunately no happy medium for the devs. Many many people dont like the idea of eureka or bozja and dont want to do them. In eureka there were no alternatives and the grind for the relic was MUCH MUCH WORSE in eureka, especially for completionists or people who wanted every relic (I currently have all animas ready for i270 and i275 steps and all ARRs currently almost halfway done with all atmas, AND all 17 shb relics ready to start the new steps. NIN is on i510.). When there are no alternatives people will complain that they have to do the new instanced content or just ignore it altogether. But when the alternative is too strong, people won't do the new content. They have to find some happy medium. Today's hotfixes have some hope to be honest. Personally I really enjoy 24 man raids, I'll just need spotify for syrcus tower cause it puts me to sleep lmao. All in all bozja is an awesome instance and super fun and delubrum is AMAZING. But yeah I too hope they tweak rates in bozja.

So is the augmented relic weapon better than the emerald weapon??

[orestesdd]

Do you have a written description of all the steps? I have a level 80 BARD, and I'd like to do this. Thank you.

[vajra]

i wanna know if anyone else if having this issue: it's impossible to queue for delubrum because whenever the party member count comes close to 24 it resets and i cant get in. is there a fix?

[BigKrisco]

I just need a castrum clear and I could definitely get my my GNB relic within a couple of days

[kylesteinhauser]

No one wants to do Castrum and it’s really annoying for all of us who want to do this and just need to get past it.

[AuthenticallyChad]

Love the guides! Thank you for putting all that work into them. Does anyone know if it's possible to get replicas of the previous step's glowy version after you complete a 5.45 relic fully?

[spacejunk]

I'm super confused and would love some help: I have the ilvl 500 resistance weapon on 2 characters. The only active quest I have is for Reginae. Did I skip something? Because the next item is 510, right? I went through my quest log and apparently have completed all quests so far, but every guide I see mentions a quest or two that I never saw. Does the 510 start after my first Reginae clear and then I can move onto the 515?
