How does the RDA gem work?

[MZ3K]

Is it true that an extra chance for a relic drop is added for each player in the RDA who has a gem in their inventory. So if two of the players each had a gem the chance of for a relic drop is triple what it would be if none of the players had a gem.

If it is true, and if one player had two gems, is the chance for a relic drop still trip what it would be if none of the players had one?

How much do gem upgrades cost?

What do the gem upgrades do?


(I got what seem like different answers to those questions from two players in the game. I probably misunderstood. Thanks to both of you for the information.)

from what ive heard, the double drop chance is broken, is this true @Bobby123
and i dont think the dbble drop chance places the drops into your bag, it could go to anyone in your party or group

to answer the other questions.

gems cost 1 mil on gold sink vendor and is bound to the account you buy it on.

1 mil upgrade to view active RDAs (will show what RDA is active)

2 mil upgrade for the increased drop (many people saying this one is currently bugged. also no information has been released as to the actual increase amount, but before it was bugged it would make it possible for multiple relics to drop in a single RDA)

250k for increased tracking range. (increases the range you can track RDAs by 10 tiles but must be in the pack of the tracker and bound to that same account.)

I'm not certain it ever worked. Matter of fact I'd say it had the opposite effect for me. Anecdotal evidence obviously but I definitely feel like it was a poor investment.

^I'm not really doubting it worked my luck was just that bad. Always was in RDAs until lately.

Drops out the ass since the drop thing has been deactivated. My gem is locked down on my treasure pile and has been for months and my drop to effort ratio has been good, 2/3 relics in my last RDAs. Can't remember the numbers after the change and before those three but the drops were pretty good already.

Was drop rate increase for relics only? Staff ever say?

Assuming it's not bugged, does every additional upgraded gem (either on the same player or different players) increase the chance of a drop or is it limited to one increase per RDA?

Never been able to get an answer to that, only people who know are staff I think.

From how I understood it is the gem increase used to add a whole second loot chance for a second relic, I'm pretty sure now it's set up like arch demon where there's a 20 percent chance for a relic to drop in an RDA and those with the gem would get a chance at a second relic with the same 20 percent chance but only to those with gems, because me and caribou Lou both recieved a relic at a Minotaur champ relatively close to the release of the gems and we both had the gem with upgrade.

I think you are way off on the relic chance from rdas (it's somewhere between 5-10%, from the little information I got out of eppy)

However, I agree with the rest of what you said. I even received a double relic drop once.

To be fair, they tried a thing and it didn't work out. It was a novel idea, the pay to win model, but it simply was not to be. It's good that the drop rate increase was ultimately scrapped IMO.

I still maintain that the gem as a whole was a mistake. Wish they hadn't done it. Being able to see a leaderboard and active portals I think we can all agree was an improvement but along with that also came detriment.

Now we have a weird situation. Players have paid good money for something that was busted and/or removed entirely. On the flip side, it was an effective gold sink and that can't be overlooked but a lot of players did not get their money's worth and that is certainly an issue.

Any insight into the future of the gem @eppy?

The gem is not account bound. The upgrades are. You can use one gem and buy upgrades for all your accounts if you wanted. The upgrades are only active when your character has the gem in their inventory. The increased drop when working just added your name to a second relic lottery. You only way to really know if a relic dropped from the usual lotto or the gem is when they both rewarded at the same time. Otherwise you never knew which one was giving the relic.

The reason no one thinks the upgrade is working is because no group that regularily does RDAs have seen a double drop for months.

Def broken.

2 mil for same chance as before.

I kno it was working for a bit as i kno some people got multi relic drops at asingle rda.

Pls fix this broken mechanic, 2m per account is kind of crazy considering it dont work.

Why are you always complaining abt the game ?

This is a free server and no one force you to buy the 2m extra drop option .

The staff have been busy focusing on kingdoms .

They will fix it in due time .

He likes to complain bc $ always wins and eqms doesnt.

If they dont plan to fix it or dont have time to fix it for a while, the option to buy it should be disabled. Its disingenuous to offer something like this for gold sink prices knowing it isnt working and not making a statement whether or not it will be fixed.

I just assumed it was no longer available for purchase.

Again, gem locked down on treasure pile for months guy over here. Not real sure what's going on I just know things have been mishandled.
