Please Consider Hot Fixing Delubrum Reginae Timeworn Artifact Drop Rate.

[samuraipew7]

Thank you for fixing Castrum Lacus Litore to 5 memories per run. It improved the time to memory ratio greatly than it was before the hot fix.

I am asking if it would be possible for the devs to consider doing the same sort of hot fix for Delubrum Reginae Normal. At the moment runs can take upwards of 40-50mins because people refuse to use their essences which slows down the run significantly. Factor in also that you need 15 runs per relic this is about 6-10 hours per day for one relic. If you are doing just one relic I'd agree this looks ok on paper, but there are alot of people who like getting all the relics done.

The alternative to this is doing palace of the dead but the rate remains fairly up to chance. You could do 3 floor sets and get 3 in 30 mins you also might not. What I am proposing is to up the drop amount in Delubrum Reginae to 3 per run. It's not a significant number but will definitely help those going for multiple or all of them and most importantly, the time ratio between palace and Delubrum becomes alot closer almost 1:1. (30-40 mins 3 floor sets possibility of 3 to 30-40 mins guarantee of 3 per Delubrum.

Thankyou.

Won't happen. They need to keep Delubrum alive for those that arrive at the Content later. Currently, Delubrum is still run frequently with the low amount, so no need for action. Castrum only got the amount upped to 5 so that people would run it and others be able to get their clear to progress, as Castrum was barely done at that point.

They always do this with relics: Release with horrendous drop rates that makes it impractical to farm multiple relics to maintain prestige > Next phase of relic release = buff previous phase 4-5x for people to catch up.

Its honestly better to wait until buffs to come if you're looking to farm multiple relics. 1 and done, unsubscribe for 3months, buffs, get back innn

Yeah sure buff DR so PotD continues to be an even worse option. People claim it's the easiest of the two, but clearly never actually did it for this relic because there were periods where I did 20 floor sets and got absolutely 0 artifacts. I could play for ~5 hours and get none.

DR is still the most time efficient option, and does not need to be made even easier.

(30-40 mins 3 floor sets possibility of 3 to 30-40 mins guarantee of 3 per Delubrum.

Do you not see how uneven it is to want 3 guaranteed for the same amount of time as having the possibility of 3?

Yeah, I think DR is fine. PotD on the other hand...I feel that there should be a guaranteed drop upon completing floor 100. Similar time investments should yield similar rewards. But I think there should continue to be a chance at a drop from 51-90 as well.

I mean as it currently is it's uneven DR = 1 PoTD = chance at 1. An oversight when I made the initial post I'll admit.

Perhaps the change needs to happen to both simultaneously then. DR changed to giving 3 per run and Palace giving 1 per floorset.
That way both are much more in line with each other and the alternative isn't as terrible drop rate wise as it is now. Both being "roughly" 30-40mins for either one DR run or 3 floor sets in PoTD (lower floors at least) Then it becomes a pick your poison, much like the first step (wait 1 hr for 5 from cll or do 5 ct in the same time and get 5) which is the point I'm trying to get across.
DR as is, is simple enough yes but upping the relics per run hardly makes it any easier as it's still a significant time sync. But I do agree I have overlooked the PoTD option, which definitely needs a buff.

How about Making it 2 per run? but conditional

One for duty completion.

and a second one for people actually using essenses and lost actions?

you'd still need a lot of runs but at least they'd probably be faster..

[samuraipew7]

That would also work tbh

Maybe not drop rate but something to make people use essences. The time difference a DR run can be between people not using essences and people using even the normal rarity essences is really different. I have people not use essence complaining that "no way are they gonna spend more of their gil for fragments on marketboard", I tell em you can literally farm ~100 fragments in around 10 min and they respond with why would I farm? First off your playing an MMORPG, farming and grinding are literally the main things about these types of games -.- , other people say they just don't have ANY essences somehow. Square made essences optional but can heavily influence how easy and fast runs of bozja content can be but because its optional people don't want to do it and as such, idk about others, but I dread DR. I like it as a fun dungeon/encounter but when people refuse to use essences and it takes upwards of 50-60 min instead of 30-40 it becomes a horrible grind. Also, when you just ask people who aren't using essence to please use essence politely, in my experience, they get super defensive and going"why does it even matter? we'll still complete the run" "oh your one of those essence people you know you don't have to run DR 15 times in one day right?" etc etc
