Looks like only 9 of each are needed now...while I hate grindy flagging mechanics and this one always annoyed me...I also don't like how in each patch something gets made just that much easier.

I think it's 9, and 20 is just ridiculous.  Tor isn't even really worth it.

I ran up a couple a characters with some TR groups. It was easy to get 20 doing the back to back runs. But whatever, 9 is ok too.

Let me get this straight...you folks run toons in GH and "grind" for relics?

I just log on and say who wants to kiss the guild leader's butt today and give me some relics.


Much easier that way.  Cheesy

3 quests per faction, Norm-Hard-Elite = 9 of each relic.

Nice synergy, there.

Most of time on the flagging quest you get 3.

But the flagging quest drops 1-3 relics.  You will end with 9-15 relics.

Not that it matters.

On a TR you are grinding all 6 of the walkups 7-10 times anyways and doing at N/H/E runs of each of the flagging.  You will get the 20.

But the non-TR, by the time they got to 20, they were out-leveling Tor.  I know a lot of toons that never even got to 20, skipped Tor and Reaver's Fate and went straight to the vale.

But, I don't get the change.  It's not like GH isn't one of the top 5 most popular adventure packs.  Whether you hate the number of relics or not, it's still the best XP pool in the mid levels.  It's one of the first packs you buy along with Deleras and the Vale. 

Probably has to do with Epic GH coming soon....

Meh, I think it's a good change.

It's just like the VON flagging update that they did a few mods ago.  It's an anachronism left over from when the raid was end game.  Mid-game grinds just don't make sense.

When Gianthold was end game, 20 made more sense. I'm happy to see the change even though I already had enough saved up for my next 2 TRs. Maybe I'll need to do more...

Damn... I grinded out an extra 20 of each before my TR, so I would not have to do the stupid pain-in-my-asshole rare hunts for weeks just to get them again.

Looks like I got an extra 11 to sell now.

Aside from when it first came out, they've never been a problem for me.  Lotta decent XP out there still, and the relics are always on the auction for cheap (maybe that's changed, I dunno).

Regardless, I will always applaud changes that reduce "mandatory" grind.

I wish they'd make the armor you get from turn in's a little more desireable.

The Elfcrafted armor is basically a slightly-downgraded Blue Dragonscale armor. A very nice twink armor for mid-level casting classes.

My WF Wizard is still wearing an Elfcrafted docent and he has been capped for a couple of months now - I just can't bring myself to farm Tor for scales and I haven't gotten around to finishing his DT docent.  I probably won't ever finish his DT Docent, either - it would make more sense to just crank out a brand new set of DT vestments for his next squishy Human or Drow life.

In the mean time, however, that Elfcraft docent is a very nice docent to have while I finish out whatever gear I want to grind for *cough*Ioun Stone upgrade*cough* before I go hit that TR.
