New meta pet relics

I'm not fond of the "go get them and figure out what they do yourself" response and here is why: We went months and months with a 'broken' quicksilver relic when the pokédragons were first implemented and when people got their new shiny dragons to stages 5+ with quicksilver relics above level 7, the relic really showed its true power. After MONTHS, the tamers of the server were all called out by devs/admins/staff for "exploiting game mechanics" on the new shiny toys because we got the "go get them and figure out what they do yourself" response when we asked what the new relics did for our pets. The tamers had no clue what relics did what or how powerful they were or were not suppose to be but the blame was put on us anyways...
Please save everyone the headache and let the community know what the new things are and what they do. This way, if something is too strong (or too weak), the community can voice their opinions and save us from the drama and tears down the line.
Just sayin...

I heard there was a new relic that starts the invasions of Minoc and Moonglow. Nobody has found it yet so those invasions didn't happen.

i dont get this change, now only tamers and stealth archers have any use in RDAs.
then again, im hoping thy just broke a bunch of stuff with some kind of "knee jerk Nerf", and haven't had time to fix it.

So the point of getting 120 Provo is now useless?... That was my only way to keep up with the Jones' tamers out there.

Yeah...RDA changes were a total botch...

So we just did the Lummox or whatever RDA.... totally not worth the time and effort. RDAs = dead to me now

I think the rewards were appropriate for the challenge before the latest round of changes. Most RDAs are for shit 105 PS and little more. Few runes, maybe a few crystals mined...whatever. Recipe and title scroll drops are a joke but again...whatever. Dice roll on the PS is fine. Possibility of 2 PS but no guarantee is fine. Slim chance of a relic is fine.
But now it's the challenge that is not fine. Not to say that RDAs are impossibly hard now. They're not. But if we ever thought of passing up a Lummox with a terrible entrance, or a Dark Father, or a Locke Cole if we only had two or people on and decided the juice may not be worth the squeeze...well the latest changes really sealed the deal and that's WITHOUT the multi-RDA bug.
Yesterday we did all three portals in an entire round and they were all seperate, none of the multi-instances so maybe they fixed that. Now to tweak the spawn inside.
Spawners locations, melee damage, monster speed, inability to be provoked all need to be looked at and a few adjustments made to make RDAs an appropriate challenge for the potential rewards.
And more importantly than all, make them possible by the "little guys"...you know...small guilds and players that don't have meta pets. Not everybody is as well-equipped as the larger and more established PvE guilds, and those guys need a shot at RDAs too.

Craftable portal?
Actually that just got me thinking...all 6 skulls needed to spawn harrower + soul of devourer + soul of harrower + whatever else = new idea for spawnable super RDA that I proposed to staff. Something that is an appropriate challenge for the larger guilds and requires all play styles, tamers, dexers, mages etc.
Just as much as we need stuff for the little guys (mini-instances) we could use something in the "random encounter" department for large guilds. Because even the toughest RDAs take only 20 minutes when we have our best PvMers present. We long for something more.

Fully loaded tank dexer vs new RDAs = crap... even the rune drop rate sucks enough for me to avoid them. I'd much rather be a thief waiting outside the portal or pk.... just sayin.
