I am grinding a ludicrous amount of Lost Relics.
After about 50 hours of grind this week, I have not gotten any of the cool new rare blockchain weapon drops. I got a few low-level resource BC items from some bronze reward chests (earned from bounty quests), but nothing exciting.
It's bad RNG. Lower level players erupt in the chat on an hourly basis -- "Wow, I just got my first rare drop!! Cool!!"
I tune into my friend's stream as he first tries Lost Relics -- within 5 minutes, he gets a rare weapon drop :-P
I AM RNG CURSED!!
At least I was able to save up enough gold for a virtual relic upgrade. These Sugarplums are taking the edge off of the bad RNG.
Sugarplums allow me to restore energy and get about one more strong attack when my power would otherwise be drained. This lets me push that last bit of damage to kill a group of mobs, often saving me 500+ HP by killing them before they can get more attacks in.
It cost me about 50k gold (in-game virtual currency) from the auction house, known as the Royal Emporium. Now I'm broke again.
Are Sugarplums Worth the Cost in Lost Relics?
Those energy charges are worth it. Now I am able to run Arcane Pits 10-20% faster on average, which is a nice increase in the efficiency of the grind.
Any one small upgrade like this can be easy to overlook. You don't really feel a difference between averaging 9-10 minutes per run and averaging 8-9 minutes. The odds feel the difference though, your wallet feels the difference, it all adds up across more iterations and improvements.
I may have the RNG curse right now, but it's ok. The longer it takes for me to get my great new drops and climb to higher level dungeons, the stronger my mind gets.
LET'S GET IT!!!
Here's some more info on the Sugarplums for those who are curious.
If you are new to Lost Relics, I recommend rushing gold to get this item ASAP as it really helps... just don't die with it, you'll lose it if you do since it is not a blockchain item.
OK, that's it right now. No more time to write... I need to grind.
Are you playing Lost Relics? If so how's your progress? If not how about heading over to the Lost Relics homepage and giving it a try, the NFTs await :-)
Awesome! I have to go back to play and grind to get something like that.
lost relics is blowing up right now, great time to start playing :-)
