    Did an archaeoskin and an ore dropped from it.
    All I've seen so far as we collect maps over the week.

    It's been so long since I even thought about it I just assumed it still took long, whoops.

    I don't think beast tribes are all that terrible as far as actual time spent goes, provided you already have the rank for them. If you only did them it would take 87 days, which is shit for sure. But considering you can do the whole round of 12 quests for all 4 tribes in under 30 minutes, it comes out to just over 40 hours of actual "work".

    Any single way of choosing to do it is going to be completely shitty either regardless.

    So far maps have been my fastest option, from 3 Archaeo and 4 Wyvern, I bagged 2 Ore and 2 Shells. Still have to burn through my Dragon stockpile.
    Though i'm sure i've just been getting lucky with my RNG for once.

    You have to be super lucky. I've yet to see one item from 20~ maps past few days.

    I feel if statics ran together to maximize time in farming fights it would be quick but doing DF is just so boring. Slow pulls/kills and the occasional wipe.

    Can't say I'm surprised but that had to be very monotonous. Wonder which method they used. I'm sure that likely means there are 3-7 others practically done too.

    I honestly don't know how they do it so quickly. I'm bored of Alex and I've only done 30 runs. I think I'd rather spam Fractal and AK HM.

    The key is to stay out of Alexander lol. A1 and 4 might be ok with a premade. My raidmate is ~50/80 just tome and hunt farming.

    I've done a few garuda ex and scored myself a fast 120 poetics with a newbie bonus. Of course you can't guarantee a newbie or a competent party with DF, but my lucks holding out so far.

    Honestly I'm starting to like this relic path, sure it's grindy, but the amount of variety in obtaining the items needed has gotten me doing some old content of never really normally consider, and I'm having fun doing it *gasp!*. I'm just over 10% of the way and I'm playing super casual, so it's not bad at all really.

    I think that's the key. Just keep doing things and you will eventually get it. There is no real advantage to having one, they are useful for clearing A3-4 but if you are clearing A3-4 the Relics offer little to no upgrade.

    Anyone that has kept up with Beastman dailes just got a 5% bump in progress today.

    I've gotten 12 Ore via Dragonskins, and not a single Shell to date. lol

    31 Maps between myself and a friend.

    The longest I went was 3 maps without a drop; Ore drops back-to-back pretty often. We've literally never seen a Shell drop once.

    Wyvernskins are guaranteed shells (not 100%, but its always a shell if one drops), are dragonskins just the same but with Ore maybe?

    Wyvern maps seem pretty shitty drop rate. Done 5 gotten 0. Is dragon skin a better drop rate on ore?
