So...

I recently had talks about the old days of 1.0, and it just occured to me: what if the current 2.45 relic progression actually requires these speed running stuff like what we had in 1.0 relic reborn version to make higher chance of KI dropped?

From what I recall, 1.0 actually has 2 version of it when doing AV or CC: speed run and super speed run. While ssr will guarantee you quest item drops, sr only gave u slight chance of getting it, and normal gives you abysmal chance.

While I cannot make claim if this is true or not for our current situation, I kinda notice these when I got those KI from dungeons:
- WP & AK, tank pulled everything to boss doors and party proceed to fast-AOE them all.
- Qarn HM, again tank pulled everything to stop check-point and proceed to fast-AOE.
- While it's hard to measure current AV & Dzemael, I did also get those when party did faster run than previous normal ones. Like nuking them down faster than before.

Of course, this is just my assumption. Though I see ppl running with their group/statics did end up finishing them faster. Wonder if this can be confirmed though.

Any thoughts?
