Stealth nerfed relic?

[Boldprint]

Did they stealth Nerf the timeworn drops from potd? It takes 30 runs to max out Allagan Tombstone of Revelations, I did 6 prior relics and they always dropped 7-8 in those 3 runs. I did 60 runs this week, since the new cap is 900 and only got 6 total. Does anyone even read these, because this is ridiculous. Makes the game not even fun.

TBH this step is what made me quit the epic for ShB all together. I hated the Bozja 24 man raid and I sure as hell am not farming PotD since all my jobs are 80.

PoTD doesn't guarantee relic drop iirc. You just got really lucky otherwise.
If you want consistent relic drops, you have to do DR.

POTD drop rates for reference :
Floors 1-60, ~10-20%
Floors 61-100 ~30%
Floors 101-150, ~80%
Floors 151-200, 100%

DR needs an additional nerf or artifacts need to be added to Dal. DR or DR/Dal runs should net 5 artifacts similarly to Emotions which net 5 with a DR/Dal run. Castrum gives 5 loathsome so there is an imbalance in my view with only 3 artifacts for a DR run at the moment.

Sound like a lovely change


Though, what I think they should do is make running Floor 50+ in PoTD to have 100% drop, and chance for extra relic drop the higher you climb. If a normal mixed-bag DR requires average 30m to complete for 3 relic, a full F50-100 should give you 5, and more if you climb higher.


Or at least make other dungeon/raid drops timeworn relic too. Currently, Bitter Memory drops from lv60 dungeon, loathsome drops from lv50 24-man raid, Raw Emotions drop from lv70 dungeon (also from DR). Timeworn should drop from either lv60-70 raid or ShB dungeon (either leveling ones or lv80 ones).

No, you got super lucky on your drops. I would get 1 drop within 8 runs historically.

I honestly don't know why anyone would do POTD for resistance weapons drops.
POTD is the investment free option. So the RNG gods can make a whole evening terrible by not dropping any.
DR is the guaranteed route since it has more up-front investment (Essences, Mettle, etc.). You get guaranteed three drops within an average 40 minute run.

On top of that, you can have the Irresistible quest going at the same time you have the Timeworn step, run DR, and get drops for both quests.

If anyone wants a better Timeworn Artifact per minute of investment... go DR.

I don't know what the drop rate was like before, but after spending days farming two drops out of PotD, I gave up and did five back to back runs of Delubrum Reginae over the weekend, acquiring 15 drops in a matter of hours.

Honestly, I don't think they should even mention PotD as a means of acquiring the drops if it's not really a viable means of getting them. It's crazy to make the discrepancy in drop rates between the two so drastic.

Tbh bozja relic nerfs are already enough, its the easiest relic to get now compared to the other 3.
