    Relic/Zodiac Adjustments

    -Books now require 3 of each kind of mob instead of 10.
    -Mysterious Maps (Alexandrite) cost 75 Poetics.
    -Treasure Coffers from Alexandrite Maps now yield 5 Alexandrite

    I thought they mentioned the Daily would give more than one map but the preview showed one (i didn't finish the quest), but 5/map is already huge, and high level roulette also gives 100 poetics, more than enough to buy another map.

    Seeing as Alex/Books have been made exponentially easier, I have high hopes that the Light/Mahatma/Dungeon drops should be extremely lenient now.

    Jesus. That means it's only going to cost you 1125 Poe to do a Novus.

    Excluding the book cost of course.

    Light tiers seem to have been adjusted also. I was at "no activity" before the patch, now I'm at indistinct.

    - books are still 3 dungeons? (that's the worst part IMO)

    Remember you can enter as a level 50 now to do them though, so even though its a bit of a timesink you'll blaze through any low level ones.

    Not sure of exact numbers, but on my Atmas for zeta phase, and I'm completing them with only doing about 2 dungeons and a few FATEs.

    These adjustments rekindle my consideration of completing the relic bow. I am pretty casual now adays and have not kept up with the indepth details of the expansion notes. Is there a new ultimate weapon, and how intense is the creation process?

    The new "Relic" weapons will be introduced in patch 3.1 as far as we know. Right now it's looking like the best weapons you can get come from Extreme Ravana at ilvl190.

    And at i190 they shit all over Zetas. (everything 55+ shits on Zetas) Working on a Zeta now is borderline silly. Lvl to 60 and start gearing for extremes.

    This really helps, thank you. I was i123 before update with T13 access, so while casual, I wasn't incredibly behind.

    Hopefully they do like XI and introduce a quest to level the Zetas up to level 60.

    Vertical progression says no.

    Also, they only kept relics because of 1.x players since that would have shat on our hard work lol. They already confirmed zetas are essentially glamours lol.

    They did say Zeta would do something with the new relics. Make it a bit easier or add something? I remember reading that some where.

    Yeah something of a headstart but it won't be too much of a gap because of AST/MCH/DRK not having a base one.

    Compared to when I did my first weapon, there should've been at least two adjustments to the Atma drop rates.
    Correct?
    Yet a few days ago I tried to get Outer La Noscea atma, and after over 40 Fates no trace of it.
    Tried some random fates in other zones as well, but same result.
    Seems to me if they raised the drop rate, it's not by a very noticeable amount. It's still a very low droprate.

    Or am I wrong? Please correct me if so.

    Atmas were at 10% not sure if they got a boost from the last round of enhancements

    Yes it was increased some times ago (I wasn't playing at the time) by an unknown amount.
    And it's been increased once again in the 3.0 patch, so that's at least 2 increases unless there have been more.

    My point though was that, while I don't know the original drop rate (wasn't it around 5%?), these increases don't seem to be that huge given how in 2 days I didn't manage to get a single atma for my second Zeta.
    Going from the posts of "omg I got 2000 atmas in 2 fates!11!one!" I was reading everywhere I was expecting a more noticeable increase.
