My apologies if this has already been explained, but I've read a lot of conflicting information. Most players seem to think that the character bonus of lvl 9 only requires the specific character to be relic 7. But this suggests otherwise:There is also this bit. "Provided that the requirements of all previous bonus mechanics in that Datacron have been met." The previous levels require relic 5 for the entire squad.Let's say I roll LS, GR, JMK. Which of the following describes the minimum requirements to activate JMK's bonuses?1. JMK at r7. Nothing else matters (James Alan Hetfield / Lars Ulrich, © Creeping Death Music)2. JMK at r7, either solo or with a GR team at any gear level3. JMK at r7, either solo or with a relic 5 GR team4. JMK at r7, either solo or with a relic 7 GR team

3 makes the most sense to me.Or 5: I'll find out the hard way.

Both in the road ahead and Q&A they have said 3. But I guess we'll find out.

Looks like level 9 really does require "squads at or above relic 7", just like the description says. Level 4 already requires a full r5 team. At r3, the datacron can be equipped but is downgraded from level 4 to 3 so the last bonus doesn't apply. The same would happen with a level 9 DC on a squad that doesn't meet the all-r7 requirement.So I guess we're supposed level a DC to 9 and reroll until we get that sweet JMK bonus, all the while believing we won't have to take Snips all the way to r7 because the Road Ahead said r3. Then GAC is about to start, the expensive DC turns out to be partially useless, sunk cost fallacy strikes again and we buy another relic pack. It's the little things.

Almost nobody makes full relic 7 teams, it's usually rel7-8 for main characters, rel5 for those less important - supports etc. Only whales make full rel7 and it's targeted for them. So they could win easily and spend some more money.CG makes the same dumb mistake over and over again - instead of making a lot of players spend a little, instead of bringing new features to make playerbase happy and bring new players, they bring more toxic mechanics to make the few whales spend a ton of cash while pushing away every other type of player.

Datacron level 9: "in squads at or above relic 7"?

target character needs to be r7 not entire squad, rest need to be r5 not r3

Is that official, or is that you guessing? Because it literally says the entire squad must be R7 for it to activate 'Activates on target character in squads at or above Relic 7'. In English that means the all characters must be R7 for it to activate on that target character.

I didn't check what it said, I just took your earlier word for it.

Syntactically, what this is saying is “Activates on character in squads. If they are at or above relic 7.”

Yep. That's how I'm reading it, CG could've worded it better and removed "in squads" portion of the text entirely to be less ambiguous for readers

So guessing then? Because the interface description and the Relic requirement indicator both contradict that statement.

I don't have to guess when that's what they have communicated several times up to the release of datacrons

"At or above relic 7" complements "character", not "squads". Or that's how CG says we should understand that sentence. But native speakers should know better than me, so correct me if I'm wrong.
