Hieracon nerfed?

[Marshall Grade Igris]

Neo and Axi relics dropped rare in my 2 3000 cryotic excavation runs. I merely got 2 axi and 1 neo relics. Rotation C is raining with mods. What is happening?

RNG is what it is.

RNG, probably. If you really want Neo and Axi relics, Xini (Interception) on Eris seems to be really consistent with dropping two Neos then two Axis.

^^^^ This very high chance, sometimes you'll get ♥♥♥♥ rewards for Neo rotation but for Axi I always got it. (My experience)

iirc Those high level interceptions (also Bere) will always drop a Axi relic on rotation B and C.

I guess rngesus loves you guys. I swear it only dropped normal mods on rotation B and C for me. I only got 2 axi relics and 1 neo relic in 3000 cryotic exca run. :D

Yeah, contrary to popular opinion Hieracon really isn't all that great for relic farming. Each rotation goes by a lot faster, so it's theoretically possible to get more relics than spending the same amount of time in Interception missions, but in exchange the drop chances are somewhat lower. Chances (as of last time wiki information was updated) for high-level Interception missions such as Bere or Xini are 70% for a Neo relic in rotation A and 100% for an Axi relic in rotations B and C (though some Axis aren't in the rotation B drop table). In contrast, drop chances in a high-level Excavation mission such as Hieracon are approximately 46.7% for a Neo relic in rotation B and 77.44% for an Axi relic in rotation C (which seems a lot higher than I remember it being).
