Really need a system the more you run, the higher chance it will drop... instead of plain straight line %.
I dont want to end up running 70 times AK normal...
That just utter boring for me.

Trying to get the zodiac drops from the dungeons was by far the most horrific stage of the relic quest. I had to run multiple dungeons over 50 times just for a drop, and that ain't funny anymore. It's been over a month since the last time I was running any of the roulettes or doing dungeons just for a fun. I just cant run those anymore. RNG ruined the game for me outside raids and Golden Saucer.

Yeah I am not even happy about this anymore. I sat all night running 1 same dungeon.Trying to get the zodiac drops from the dungeons was by far the most horrific stage of the relic quest.

Bad luck protection would be nice. I've got I think...7 more drops to get, and so far none of them have taken more than 5 times.
I can't imagine one of these taking 50.
Just completed my Zodiac just recently and here are the numbers (took me 25 days overall to include slacking a bit on some days)
Dzemael Darkhold - 2
Brayflox's Longstop (Hard) - 8
Halatali (Hard) - 4
Snowcloak - 14
Aurum Vale - 3
Haukke Manor (Hard) - 9
Lost City of Amdapor - 4
Sastasha (Hard) - 2
Wanderer's Palace - 31
Copperbell Mines (Hard) - 40
Hullbreaker Isle - 3
Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard) - 1
Amdapor Keep - 23
Pharos Sirius - 8
Tam Tara Deepcroft (Hard) - 5
Stone Vigil (Hard) - 11

You guys must understand that making faster drop rates for the Zeta weapon will result in having a lot of people getting their i135 weapon too early and then zerg content / run out of goals too fast. Being more casual players than the people who do raids they will probably go play another MMO and SE WANTS to keep you busy until 3.0 release...
Plus take into consideration that the i135 relic grind being easy it has AT LEAST to be long otherwise there will be no balance at all with the Dreadwyrm weapons.
(I dont raid much and it took me 37 Hullsbreaker Cave to get the drop so i know what this is about)
I would say that the zodiac/zeta steps are WAY better then the animus/novus when they were released.
I finished my Novus weapon for nin Last week(monday). Lightfarming until this Monday to get Nexus. And since yesterday i got my Zodiac. Maybe iam just "that" lucky or something changed. the most urn i had was Wanders Palace 11 times. I had more of a droprate of this stuff like 1-3 runs tops. And so its back to lightfarming....... i realy cant see Garuda anymore :x.
I Agree on the Cap idea of this thread . Nobody should need 55 runs to get an Item. I think it should be 10 runs tops. Since Atma and Alex already got a "slight" buff on drops from Fates. I Think the Doungen Items will also get a "slight" buff in the Future. So If people want to be ready for Heavenward with Fukll Zeta Zodiac they "could" if they got the time.
I will finish my Zeta and Relax with that.![]()
Having Two and soon to be 3 Zeta weapons, I've notice the Zodiac quest MAY to have (IMO) some sort of bug to it. I've noticed, I never got drops with too many open quest in my log. I've noticed, If the last boss room isnt colored RED the drop rates is really low maybe closer to 0 chance of getting a zodiac drop. This is PURE superstiton and is not backed by stats, Just things, I've noticed going thru this quest line 3 soon to be 4 times now. Good luck everyone!!
***rembeber this is just what "I've" noticed. Not backed by stats***
The cap idea, I dont know.....maybe it the futrue. Its a bit early to cap run rates now. I wish evryone All the luck in the World.

I have the exact feeling, that after the patch. Something BROKE on me, I was getting decent drops before patch.
...and another reason why I wont ever start extremly time wasting relic quests. o_o
