Relic Alloy Materials: Where's the Beef

I have to say it's quite weird how hard it is to get class alloy materials to rank up relics. I have a few 5* and 4* relics I'd LOVE to rank up but even with all the glory and battlegrounds alloy crystals I'm nowhere near ranking anyone up. Any idea when we'll see more availability of these materials? Would be nice if they were included ANYWHERE in the game as rewards for clearing some form of content 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm with you.

Am I missing any other sources of these materials? It seems weird to introduce them and then make them so hard to power up at all

No, you're not missing other sources. I've been able to rank up a few utilizing the glory and battlegrounds store:

I have embers about to expire because I can't rank up my relics....smh.

I've ranked up a few 4* but haven't been able to get two of any friggin TIER 1 class alloys to take up a 5*. You would think being Tier 1 they would be plentiful but they're nowhere to be found other than small percentage random class crystals you have to use resources to buy. Would be nice if there was a side quest or even if they were included in EQ rewards.

It has been challenging ranking up relics and I'm also waiting for rank up resources to be more readily available.

DalBot

Would be nice if they drop this new feature that becomes a must for prestige to actually give us access to be able to rank them for that purpose

Any chance we get any updates on this? I have literally hundreds of embers expiring over the next 48 hours because I have nobody left to spend them on and rank up materials are almost impossible to acquire!

There really needs to be a communication about making these materials more available soon.

Solve the gold problem some people seem to have by making the sell at a 10K per ember rate.

I mean, at least that would be something. It's just weird that they introduced this element to the game and have given us no guidance on how to rank up and almost no availability of resources to rank up. It really makes zero sense

DalBot

So I guess this is just going to stay ignored I see...

How the heck do you get all those embers

I have been saying this over and over again. With the introduction of Relics, it was basically introducing 8* in disguise. Plain and simple.

It was just another potential avenue of income, but it was an un-needed and unwanted addition that just adds a layer of complexity no one wants to have to think about. Not to mention, they hold these "rewards" in such high regard, 3 and 4 star relic shards, and the alloys, are taking the place of rewards people actually want. Like nobody wants these....especially not a 3 or 4 star one. Top 5 percent alliances in the banquet event got like two or three 4 star relic crystals...like why lol.

If you're passionate about Relics but are frustrated with rollout my advice would be to just be patient for a year or so, you'll have the level of resources you need at that point. I believe Relic related items are extremely expensive to acquire currently and more targeted at Whales as the value for money isn't justifiable for your typical summoner.

U guys read my mind i was getting irritated and frustrated with the same topic.. have relics have embers but no alloys.. was looking around and all u get is 5% 10% that too not an option to choose a class .. these alloys are harder even harder than a r4 materials for a six star.. not sure what is kabam thinking that these relics are even rarer than a r4/r5 now???

At least tier 1/2 alloys should be plenty by now.. till that happens i am selling all my embers..wont care about relics until they are usable…

Plus i still do not see any specific benefits so why should we even spend our Glory, BG chips to get something have no real usage???

I think their usage is to increase someone's prestige for better AQ rewards, the striker button helps people extend a combo if the fight is long enough I can't remember what else they do though, I think stat increases, like +0.1% bleed duration low level kinda stuff.

DalBot

Thing is these things do effect prestige and can make the difference between alliance tiers in AQ. The silence on this topic is absolutely deafening

Just about everything to do with Relics has been a disaster from Kabam. It could have been very cool instead of a forgotten waste of time.

Prestige and AQ thats it??? We are asked to spend time & money just for prestige? I have had zero benefits of a striker in any fight so far.. i have completed act 8 as it is released..

100% agree.. unless Kabam design a fight where these relics are of use they r useless IMO, Just sell those embers for Gold..

New content and new Carinas today, any new relic or alloy acquisition capabilities... of course not.

This is beyond ridiculous

Another day... another big fat ignore about this very relevant issue that is worth being addressed. At some point we have to start questioning why it's not being addressed at all and zero guidance is being given on this important aspect of the game.

Probably because it's obviously not as important as you seem to think it is.

Elaborate more on how well thought out this process has been to introduce a vital aspect for prestige, only to not support it or give us any info on what to expect of it going forward 🎤

Because all its worth is whatever money they can gain from it. They tied it to prestige so obviously higher rarity and ranks is all you need to know. Not what they do.

And still no comment from Kabam..

Nada to this day...

DalBot

We ever gonna get some guidance here?
