WTB Quick Silver or Molten Relic......... Paying 1 mil

Thats one of the things that bother me with meta pets. I enjoy having something to work towards. However needing to pull together 30 million just to get a pet that kills some stuff faster is a bit ridiculous and on the level of why bother. The time involved in leveling them is ridiculous enough.. I don't see why such a huge timesink treadmill is being introduced into UO. Wasnt this game the anti-treadmill?

Also, this is seriously probably a year and a half away from being at the 1mill mark.

Accessories / adons should never be more expensive than the original pet... IMO. So the drop rate or drop area should be adjusted.

i agree since i have been back this last 3 weeks or so , i have done over 30 rdas and countless champ spawns, to not even know what a relic looks like yet!

but in this case these relics are so freaking powerful, i think they should stay rare.

Normally I would agree with you and say keep them semi rare... but! The majority of the current relics out there were obtained by people abusing the RDA system. They have since fixed that bug. So in reality not adjusting the drop rate only hurts the honest players not those %($* $(*%()#(* $*($ $()%(#' players :)

i know of at least two quicksilver drops in the past week.

not to mention what else everyone got?

On one hand, low barrier to entry is what makes this server great.

On the other hand, vets also need something to work and grind for to keep players interested and invested in the community.

Yes, there were some issues with people exploiting the fucking shit out of the system early on. They should have had them all wiped, to be perfectly honest, but that's besides the point. Having since been fixed, drop rates seem like they are pretty decent and not over the top.

You're right Bromista, those obtained by exploiting should have been wiped.... but if FAMARA is correct the current drop seems ok...

100% correct, and out of the pool of relics at least 12 maybe more? dexer mage tamer, finding 2 quicksilvers in a week seems better chance than getting a 120 taming by far. but my data is so small, as i have been back only a very short time. i assume people just arent selling them yet, because they are first giving to guildys.

I'm willing to bet a vast majority of relics not making it to market are being consumed by the players who drop them or sold to guildmates at a steep discount.

Perception is not always reality. Relics are dropping. I see them in action all the time on tons of metas.
