Any chance of Relic 99 trial being eased up? Umbral Marrow update please?

[Kiyara]

Just wondering if there are plans to make the Umbral Marrow drop from other sources or be acquired from another source other than Arch Dynamis Lord? It would be nice to ease this part of the trial up so people can actually do the content with a small group of people. Maybe have them drop from other Arch bosses/regular zone bosses or maybe a very low drop rate from normal mobs in Outland and Dreamworld Dynamis areas (like 3-5%)? Considering the new weapons from SoA related content just trumps relic, would be nice to see this trial become a bit more accessible to players.

P.S. Also updating the ease of getting the empyreal items as well would be a nice touch in addition.

Maybe make other arch-bosses drop them at 10~20%, but thats about the only change I would be happy with, it would be much easier to get them still seeing as all of the other bosses are easy by compare.

[Kiyara]

Yeah. If the Arch Bosses could drop them at a 25% drop rate and increase ADLs drop rate to 100% on 2, that would work out a lot better. Are the Arch Bosses beatable by 6?

Without zerging them down, probably, I wouldn't know from experience, Sandy was easy zerged but it killed a lot of people each fight because it used AoEs for high damage, and due to zerging, it did it back to back a lot, killing people. Beau is easy when zerged, we expected it to be a bit harder but you don't need CSS or PD, simply on the last form you zerg, till then some DDs with healing is fine, 6 people might find it a bit hard but it could be doable.

I dunno, on my server marrows are plentiful in bazaars and you can easily find them for 11m or less. If you can make a relic to 95, surely you have the means to collect roughly half that in order to 99 your weapon?

[Kiyara]

It's more a matter of being able to do the content instead of having to farm money for it. I honestly rather do 5 kills of a Arch mega boss then have to farm for like 2-3 months for 50 mil.

They should just make Arch Dynamis Lord less luck based. The main reason why Umbrals are so high is the effort to get them, and the way that Arch Dynamis Lord works, you can easily wipe to it if you are not lucky enough to kill the actual ADL and not one of its shadows.

Also you can only have one group doing ADL at a time, so if they allowed another spawn point within the zone, Umbral Marrows would become much more available, and groups will be more willing to actually fight him.

I have seen my father do an ADL run with a group, and I can honestly say, I would rather just stay away and farm the gil. Its only 50 million, you can get that in a few months easily with how the game is.
