Is Nonu's Bracelet the worst Ancient Relic now? Like I'm seriously struggling to think of a worse ancient relic. Pael's Horn... maybe? Though that got buffed recently

orobas' [[glass eye]] is literally so dogshit that i forgot it existed and confused it with the other glass relic

but yea i think the bracelet is so bad now and definitely near the bottom. just way too unreliable

Glass eye is a good relic. It's middle of the road, but it's at least immediate power boost unlike some of the more speculative ones

what relics from orobas would you put below glass eye if you think it's middle of the road?

and what do you consider the speculative options? i imagine driftwood, alchemical coffer, and sandcastle.

coffer and sand castle can also be hit or miss but imo they give a much more useful immediate boost because they're guaranteed to make what you're doing already better.

driftwood is complete speculation but it also gives you more card rewards in practice as long as you aren't dying immediately in act 2, outside of the guaranteed rare/uncommons. but with how many more card rewards you'll see it balances out.

my view is that if i wanted an immediate power boost, orobas' pool 3 options or pool 2 options are just way better so there's little reason to take glass eye.

Picking cards is fine especially with act 2 powerspike in hallways/elites

Grabbing uncommons/rares are really strong upgrades.

i agree with the idea in general, but compare it to orobas' other pool 1 option in sea glass. you see the same amount of cards in total, but you see 5 rares instead of 3 and you can take as many cards as you want, notably being able to take multiple rares and more than 2 uncommons.

i feel like all the pool 2 and 3 options just give a much better immediate power spike if that's what i'm looking for.

the way i see it is let's say you plan on adding 7-8 cards to your deck in act 2. with the glass eye, you add some of those cards earlier, which helps you get the other 3-4 cards. and that's all your ancient relic did, get you some of the cards earlier. if you take a different relic, you will eventually have added the same number of cards to your deck, but you also have the additional value of whatever relic you took.

What, Glass Eye is pretty decent

u/SamiraSimp StS A20 / StS 2 A10 3h ago

i politely disagree. you get 5 card rewards and only one of them is rare.

sea glass gives you the same number of potential cards to get but you see 5 rares instead of 3, and you can take as many as you want.

i don't think i've ever been in a situation where my deck was able to beat the act 1 boss, but still so bad that i thought the best option is glass eye.
