    This pretty much. I tried doing DR but I can either get no groups or if I try to queue i go in alone basically failing anyway. The only other method is POTD but i have been here for 8+hrs spamming 51-60 and have not seen 1 drop. It is ridiculous how bad this is. They need to either make POTD guaranteed or add DR to the duty finder so more ppl can queue to it from anywhere not just in Gangos.

    There are enough people in this thread to make DR parties. There's probably at least one discord for it as well (like the one for BA / Castrum / DRS / Dal)

    PotD is more or less guaranteed on the lower levels.

    There's no reason PotD can't be guaranteed now.

    Considering how Bojza content has become a logistic nightmare not unlike Eureka, I all agree that there should be alternative ways for player to grind relic materials.


    For timeworn things, F50-100 should have 100% drop rate. F60+ should give you chance to get one more, with higher chance for higher floor. Heck, you can even add timeworn to chests so that players have an excuse to open them instead just rushing their way. Also, exchanging potsherd/aetherpool gear level to timeworn is a should-have. Anything that helps players to not touch the dreadful DR if SE insists it to be a logistic nightmare.

    Why do people find DR so horrible? I thoroughly enjoyed every run i did. I do admit i did all the runs for getting all weapons when it was current so pops were almost allways fast.

    Since it isn't current anymore the queue doesn't pop fast and when it does you're quite often alone in the duty. So generally to get a full run you have to go thru discord channels or party finder. Couple that with ppl that don't want to use essences or do mechanics when the duty insta-kills you for failing a mechanic twice within a minute.

    For me, I just didn't click with that content. Sometimes there's just some content that isn't really appealing and for some reason that's mine.

    I agree, Liam, there's no reason PotD can't be guaranteed now. And like some others said, there's no reason we can't have a roulette reward them. It would be especially attractive now that Manderville weapons are resulting in people doing roulettes they may not have been doing before for the extra astronomy.

    I would spam PotD and even help newbies in a heartbeat if they made more consistent changes on the drop rate. 41-50 should have a guaranteed as well.
    Not matter how much I enjoy DR, the way it is now sucks

    Every set of floors should be a guaranteed drop. You need 15, so it would be 15 runs and we'll say 10 minutes each. Probably a bit more here and there but that's a good average. That's 150 minutes.

    DR gives 3 and a run can be done in 15 minutes through PF. So 5 runs at 15 minutes is 75 minutes.

    DR still has the advantage as the superior way to get the items so there's still reason for DR runs to happen. The alternative is double the time, but that's a fair tradeoff to give people a path to avoid the bottleneck that DR is now.

    Don't forget DR drops the emotions for the last step as well. If you're doing multiple relics, it's better just to deal with the one spot.
