Fundamentally, the short and sweet of this is that coupling demonic pact points to RNG tasks was a terrible decision. They should have been decoupled pact points from league point tasks and made them into their own Tier 0 tasks where they award no league points and only pact points for killing x of the monster that drops the item. That’s literally it. The people complaining about going dry wouldn’t complain as they’d have a visible goal in sight to work towards as has ALWAYS been the case with leagues. There have been almost no other instances in Leagues where your combat power has been gated behind RNG, the exception being Shattered Relics, and there has always been a definitive path to attaining the crazy power leagues are known for. Don’t think you can farm some boss to get the RNG drop to get points in a reasonable amount of time? Go do the deterministic tasks and get points to unlock the combat tiers of relics. That has how this has worked for years and honestly, I don’t really care if they are 20 second kills, because the actual time between kills is definitely more than that. Take Zulrah, you get a 15 second kill, you have to wait for the loot to drop, identify if it is what you need, leave the instance which has a dialogue to confirm, and run like 15-20 tiles to the boat to watch a 5+ second loading/cut scene. It is actually entirely possible that someone could do a single boss for 2 months and still not get that RNG item. There are countless youtube videos documenting grinds exactly like this. I have hit almost every dry protection for echo orbs and items (4/6 echo bosses have had the dry protection kick in for BOTH the orb and item) and it sucks but at least I have a goal in sight. submitted by /u/Mammoth-Charge2553
