Gaining so many relics for the snow flurry quest can be pretty grueling. The tournaments start back up in a few days, and when they do and you need to gain more relics here’s a tip; the first few (two) times you do a tourney it’ll give you a few relics, so only do the first, maybe the first two, on day one to gain some relics, then gain the rest if you can through providences. The next time you need to gain relics do them again. I had some of the second tourney areas I had only done the first day, then when I needed relics the last day I did them again, and since I had only done that area one time it gave me a few more relics.
As you may have noticed, if you stick with the first few tournaments catering is pretty cheap, even on the last day, and I hear the fights aren’t too hard either for the less advanced players. If you save tourney number three till last, it won't be as expensive. Hope this helps.
