well..may not be about relics..but farm farm farm gets old old old. I've seen 2 items that I won't mention drop once ever. Now, I want one, either bought, found or borrowed. I've run the zone where it drops probably..idk..600 to 800 times..and nope. I mean, c'mon..by RELIC percentages, I should have 1. or at least better than 50%. So, yes...Luck is heavily involved. To a ridiculous amount, to be honest. And, people always want others to pay dearly for them getting lucky (a good drop). I'd understand some prices out there if farming were a "skill" thing, but it isn't. Pick the board, maim the board, sell the trash, wash rinse repeat. Null skill.
