Petition for Relics to appear in Dragon Chests

[Shaamis]

One of the things I find most peculiar about the Gianthold Quests, and the Chests in the Dragons' treasure rooms...

Why don't we see any dragon/giant/elf relics drop in those chests, or even in the treasure piles?

These Giants/Dragons' hoard should have at least a couple of each (or a chance of them) in each hoard.

The only thing I can think of is to add to the level of difficulty in collecting them, for repair, and flagging purposes.

But really, why don't any relics drop inside the Gianthold Tor?

Devs: please consider letting relics have a chance of dropping in the Dragon chests, and even in the piles of loot in the treasure rooms!

Sincerely,

I agree, I would even like to see a small chance for relics in reaver's chests (the 3 chests with no raid loot).

Are there relics in any of the other pre-raid chests? i;ve only run it once, so cant jusdge that much, but really, if your uspposed to have the relics to get into the pre-raid/raid, theres really no reason to put them there, since htey are readily avialable in other palces.

A player will need relics to repair the dragon armor that they get by turning in scales, and relics drop in all of the GH quests, but at the rate of 1-2 per quest run. If you run one quest 2-3 times a night, you get 1-4 relics, with the exception of PoP, where you get 2-3 dragon relics per run.

The reason I started this thread, was because I am capping my characters faster than getting 60 total relics per character, for reaver flagging purposes.

I have capped almost four characters yet only have three flagged for the reaver, and realistically, why wouldn't the dragons' chests, or their hoards have relics in them?

I have done scale runs 30+ times, easy, and never saw any relics drop ever.

Please Devs, add relics as a possible drop in the reaver pre-raid chests/hoards!

So you want relics that you need 20 of to be able to do the pre raid, to drop IN said preraid?

I think I see why they don't. Just a thought tho.

yeah, i think the whole being able to get scales and get other chars keyed easier is probably why they dont do it. get the needed relics in the pre-raid, then your chars just gotta run the trio of quests to get keyed once, and never have to step foot into GH aside from the Tor.

I like the idea of relics in the gold piles...it really would make searching them worthwhile

[Aspenor]

While this is a player-friendly idea, I wouldn't be surprised if the devs decided against doing this.

What this would essentially do is make farming relics to repair your dragon armor pointless, because you could farm relics and scales at the same time.

I really don't think the devs would give us an easy street like that.

Can you say plat farmer heaven

Maybe it would be plat farmer heaven, but I looked on the AH for relics recently, and they are going for almost as much as scales.

Like I said in an earlier post, I see how it is a game balance issue, why the relics aren't dropping in the pre-raid chests, but it is illogical that they only drop in the GH ruins quests, and not even in the rare chests actually in the Ruins area, much less the pre-raid chests/hoards.

I know this is a fantasy game, but I would like to know why they only drop in those quests, for any other reason, OTHER, than game balance.

Sure, I can run MoM, PoP, Trial, Cabal, etc. non-stop, for 1-2 relics a quest, but I will cap an 11th level character before I get sixty relics for them.

To me, that doesn't seem right.

Exactly!

The point is that you have to run relic quests to find relics and pre-raid quest to find scales. Like it or not, it makes lots of sense!

Getting relics has never been hard. One run through PoP, getting a character ransacked, should get you enough relics to repair your armor. Especially now that you'll only need a whole 5 of them when Mod 5 hits. You would probably have enough to turn the dragons in for elf or giant.
