Relic: Your progress on the Grind.

Got my BLM Rod of the Black Khan on Monday, now up to 1109 SS. Pretty fun firing out those fire IVs so quickly :D

Now tonight I traded it all in.

Then 5 minutes later I'm on the Sand quest, so I've caught up. Well, had 4 umbrites but getting there!

Basically the exact same story. Just finished my Uko yesterday, and caught it up to 230 and am collecting sands as well. I wish I had more time to play but I work a lot, and am at least a semi-functioning adult. Doesn't leave much time to grind some days. http://cdn.guildwork.net/albums/imag...4b59dedeb5.jpg

I just finished my second relic (old>war), hopefully I can get enough time for my third one. I'm still debating between sch or drk relic.

Seems the chance for higher than +3 does indeed begin after 120/240 for those interested.

I'm not at 33/240. I'm taking it really slow not grinding anything just doing my daily expert+lv60 run and that's it. Still 20700 esos to go though...

Any information on the %chance? Currerntly @ 162/240, so I got one +5 out of 14 trade-ins after 120/240 so far, while someone in this thread mentioned something like every third trade-in he got bonus.
Any more numbers? Am I having bad RNG? D:

Obv it's a bit early to have any concrete info, and my sample size of one isn't much help, but FWIW, I ended up getting:

3 x +3 bonus (6)
1 x +2 bonus (5)
7 x +1 bonus (4)

in my run up to 240, so in total the bonuses ended up "saving" me 6 umbrites, and so it took me 34 umbrites to go from 120 to 240.
Like I said, this is just my data and can't really draw any conclusion from it (mine would suggest that +2 is rarer than +3 which I'm sure isn't the case lol), but might just give people the idea of what they can maybe expect?

150/240 so far , taking it easy doing hunts and dailies only

198/240
1x +4 - Bonus 1
1x +5 - Bonus 2
1x +6 - Bonus 3

Sitting at 133, only got 1 +4 for the time being. Hope to see more though cus I want this done.
