Drop-off is only via an online appointment (conveniently made through their app), and the earliest free dates are about two months from now !!
That's what you hear when you call in saint Gennareus' lost arm to the Theology Council in Amarr.
I remember a time when a cleric could walk into the Theology Council with a found relic at any time, and present it at the intake desks. You would be greeted by the Director of the Reliquary or the Manager of Bones and Bodily Fluids. Then you would work together with an investigator appointed to the case to get your relic certified. It would take an entire day, working closely with the person looking at your case. But it would be done after a day, and if it was a good relic you could earn a lesser relic for your own chapel or church.
I had my eyes on St. Lucio's eyeballs for my cheese chapel.
In stead, now I get a ticket "Request Id: 727c9706-2aa8-3a4a-afdb-a2590405ffd3". Presumptuous, as if they'd ever need that many letters and numbers! And I get an appointment the second week of February YC126. Meanwhile, please send some holos of the relic in question.
I called a friend that I still know at the Theology Council's department of relics, and he says these long waits are due to the department being understaffed and overburdened. At this moment, there are just too many requests to certify Tetrimon fingers and too few people to handle the fingery influx. They're drowning in fingers.
Still according to my friend, Empress Catiz favors efficient management techniques from the Caldari. That comes with smaller and more digital government, which led to cutbacks in staffing for the relic department.
Hah! What happens when I find the Ametat or Avetat? Do I have to wait two months while the rest of the cluster is hunting me down?
My anger helped somewhat, I could get the lost arm to the relic department in a mere five days...
