Relic Weapon Grind

[casper123]

I have finally got my redmages relic weapon to 535 , and am pleased with it but i have a problem with the grind I have been running potd for time artifacts and to get a group to go past floor 80 is hard. i have done 8 in a row level 50-60 can you make the drop rate in his better i have several toons that need to grind this portion . And i hate the dungeon DR . i hate that dungeon . Please make the drop rate better for time artifacts. i would like at least ever 3 floors a drop . this is driving me insane . spent 2 hours and not one time artifact

Well there's no way you are getting 3 per dungeon because then there'd be zero reason to do DR over it. I would be down for 1 guaranteed per 10 floors post 50 though. Maybe they will when Endwalker drops and this is officially outdated content.

Sorry but i hate Dr . i have done it three times . and i have other weapons to get . I suck at Dr . and to me dying all the time is not fair to others. to carry me thru it. and i have run like 7 50-60 with not on time worn dropping .

Well actually OP asked for 1 garantee every 3 sets of floors (cause he did 8 50-60 in a row with no drop). I don't think he asked for 1 drop at 50, 1 at 53, etc... but for 1 garanteed vs 3 ten floors run, so one drop every 30-0 minutes.

It would still be 3 times slower than DR, but RNG drops always suck and it would be a more viable alternative to DR for those who want a change.

The answer is to go back there and keep dying until you learn how to not die to the mechanics.
DR (savage specifically but) is one of the most fun raids in the game imo.
Sucking and dying a lot is just the first step to improving. Don't be discouraged, you got this!

They're unlikely to change the drop rate in content other than DR when they want to give players an incentive to keep doing DR in future expansions. PotD doesn't need more incentives to get th players doing the content.

Well i've been queuing the whole day for atleast one DR over in Kujata and don't even get it...

Make certain you have JP language enabled on your profile settings since you're on a JP data center. The majority of players there will only have JP enabled and Duty Finder matches players to groups based on language settings. That makes it hard to get matched to a group if you only have a different language selected. You don't need to be able to speak JP but knowing how to use the auto-translator may be helpful at times.

If you haven't used the auto-translator before, you may want to play with it a bit to see what phrases are available.

I've been told that if you're using a controller, it's opened using the R1 key though I don't know what you'd use for the paging commands.

This has helped immensely, thank you!
