> For argument’s sake, I will be generous and suggest that the drop rate of a relic from a chest is 0.5%. So far, what little evidence of drops exists suggests that they are obtainable from gold+ chests. So your chance of getting a relic from a dungeon run are currently 0.0031%. You need to complete an average of 645 dungeon runs to obtain a relic. The fact that most people have gotten what few relics have been found from non-dungeon chests (mark-bought chests opened by minions, quest/sidequest chests) supports these facts as people are more likely to be openings these types of chests rather than dungeon chests. Completing Dungeons is not a means to obtain a relic.

Quick Update: I have now completed 1000 dungeon runs post 0.35 (~85% between 70-75, the rest level 100), opening every chest but wooden along the way (either through keys or minions), although i might have salvaged a few iron chests if I’m honest. For my efforts I have 1x Iron Nails. So assuming that Relics only appear in Gold+ chests (which means your chance of even having an eligible chest from a dungeon run are 31%), my “calculated” drop rate from eligible chests is about 0.3%, from all chests (i.e. Dungeon completion) is about 0.1%. Small chance indeed!
