At least with EW we all knew it was just a tombstone weapon, and it didn't waste our time. This one is actually just annoying. OC has no relevance to character growth because you can literally do the relic outside of it. And on that note, I've done so many hours of CE's and there is no way in hell that drop rate is 20%. No shot.
I suspect for stage 2 of the relic you will probably need to have reached level 20 in zone before you can unlock the quest. Time will tell but it wouldn't surprise me.
