Yoshi has said the 3.15 relic patch will be before xmas. That leaves this coming Tuesday the 15th or the 22nd of dec. The 15th I am starting to doubt as we have heard so little from them. The 22nd isn't the best start date for those in the west that may have a busy xmas planned.

As I understand the 2 skips, it is if you have done one zeta you get the 2 skips. I have done 3 so I should be fine to get skips on 2 of the 3. The other thing on relic is the reward vs the grind. I would guess relic will end between 210 and possible 215. 215 because it makes a massive grind wroth the time. Down side to that is it reduces the value of current content 205 drops. I doubt 210 because when the tome weapon had the same or high ilvl as relic in 2.3. a lot of ppl stopped doing relic cause the grind at that time had no reward.

Whatever the ending ilvl is, it seems they need to fix the df if it is needed for relic and a grind that won't burn ppl out. Many in my FC are on vacation from the game as they have burned out on the lack of reward vs grind in current content.
