I still have my original relic (haven't started on +1 yet) as I was working on other gear and such first before even considering. However, when I start working on getting my Atma, I will be sacrificing a lot of things to the RNGods to bring me swiftly to the end. I've plays lots of games where the drops were random (at sometimes it was just killing a placeholder that gives you a % chance to get to the mob that has a random chance of dropping what you want) so I know all about the grind.
