Gianthold - only needs 9 of each relic now!

And thus, the price of relics just dropped by 50%...

Lol, there goes part of my income

They'll tank more than that. We'll be back to the old days of 1k PP relics.


Edit: Great change though. The worst flagging grind is gone (except the Boots of Anchoring, but they are for an endgame raid).

I'd rate the Abbot Sigil as the worst flagging. It can be done start to finish quicker than relics, but only with a lot of luck and a party of people flagging with you..

I don't like at all easy buttons. 9 relics is a joke. It's hard to do flagging quests without getting 9 relics.. Why not skip whole flagging? And while we are it, why not just give everyone pair of madstone boots and dreamspitters?

I have asked this at least 10 other people who also wrote such BS.

What is the connection between easy button and grind?

Getting 20 Relics is just grinding easy quests you beat the frst time without any effort. Its a test of patience. What in gods name has that to do with difficulty?

The changes to Tear are an easy button. The jump stones in Coal are an easy button. A reduction of grind is just protection of your sanity.

The jump stones in Coal

I also consider to be a...

protection of your sanity.

As far as grind goes...I also don't understand why people consider a reduction in grind an easy button.

Any reduction in grind is good. To me a grind=boring.

There is no challange or difficulty, just mind numbing boring. If I can stomp all over a quest on normal to get what I need, why make me repeat it again?

Why should I kill all those rares just for rat tails(relics)?

They have been brainwashed by WoW and its cloans into thinking grinding=content/challenge.

If you can get 9 of these items you can get 20 , it dosent make make it any harder the more you have to get .

Grinding out the 20 relics made far more sense back when DDO was on a monthly subscription. After all, the longer the player took to get to cap and all geared out, the longer they'd have to stay subscribed. That's basically the same reason why World of Warcraft has all those annoying "grind this many items" type quests. They're meant to keep you busy and subscribed longer.
