I regularly run this dungeon in 1h10 hour with a 2 men build (maybe done 15 times) in HM (quicker than in NM).
10 diessa chalices so far, golden relics yet to be seen.

Hmm, I've gotten 2 relics in 2 consecutive farm runs out of about 5-6 total. The runs themselves were dry (1-2 golds at most from mobs) but I got a diessa chalice + a golden rin relic each time. I don't kill mobs that are out of the way either. My runs average 40 minutes if I don't mess up a lot.



The other is from either plague zombies or bone fiends in Murakai's chamber, can't remember.

Yesterday I got 4 Relics drop for me in 5 runs. Screen shot or it didn't happen? IDC! It's all random luck. Enough said?

I've got two rin relics in storage. Sold one yesterday for 20k.
Usually see one drop per run. Chalices are a bit more common.

And so what, GW needs some exclusive items, but they wont come if people who dont sit on stacks of ectos make threads like these.
Wether the drop rate was bugged or it is just ment to be 'exclusive'.

The only thing this item "meant," is that you wasted countless hours of your life farming a single area. The blindfold and mask look really cool, but if you think they elevate you with some sort of status symbol, you're going to make me laugh.

Asked Gaile this evening when she visited Gunnar's about the Chalice and Relics, she stated that the drop rate is how the designers expected them to drop.

My party got 4 chalices and 3 relics yesterday, I put my 2 chalices on Guru Auction immediately. I suspect the price to drop somewhat.
