    So just out of curiosity for those of us that have done the palace of the dead since the hotfix is it worse or better getting upgrades now? Me personally, I had my armor go 28 to 30 but every single chest after that was either a mimic bomb or unchanged. Arm only went from 29 to 30 because of the floor 50 boss. There wasn't a single upgrade between floors 6-49.

    It's easier now. I got my last upgrade between floors 21-24. Didn't notice exactly which one because I wasn't expecting it so early on. It only takes like a half an hour to do floors 1-20 so it's worth finishing floor 50 and resetting your progress every time. Before you could only get the last upgrades in the last set of floors but now you can get them before you are even half way through.

    I'm currently about to finish my 5th run of 1-50 to complete my first weapon. I'm assuming my luck won't get any better (it never does with this game) and I'll have enough potsherds for the mount when I get my second weapon. So I have THAT going for me. The only bright side to all of these complete runs is that I've managed to avoid any need for daily roulettes.

    EDIT: To contribute to the thread, my improvement:

    -Seriously increase the rate of Aethergear upgrades. Being on the last 10 floors with 28/27 and NOT being sync'd should be rewarded with upgrades. NOT "aethergear remains unchanged" after FOUR silver coffers drop. This is the LAST and TOUGHEST area of this dungeon at this point and I'm not eligible for an upgrade? Are the "chances" for upgrade that ridiculous? Also, how about specifying the % chance of not upgrading because I can't find it in the patch notes. (% chance of NOT upgrading on the final tier of floors is absolutely ridiculous, IMO.)

    I think I'd be okay with the RNG if the content was actually challenging, tbh. But it's really not. Since its not very challenging (in a group that is, havent tried solo but I might now), it just feels like a race to the end like all of the dungeon roulettes. I really wanted an alternative to the dungeon roulettes.
