I have had guardian plans for weeks from placing in Baal/Cerb events - but can't get into the friggin areas where the components drop so can't even craft. And of course ONLY ONE Hero Realm Elite drops any Champion Relic and he can only be hit one time per day (unless you want to spend 200 gems to reset it). But he also drops FOUR other items that you already get from THREE prior Elites so the chances are if you are LUCKY you get 1 Champ Relic per week. It can take you WEEKS to get 5 Champ relics. That's a SEVERE bottle neck in the game when you are well into the guardian AC classes and hamstrung on your 5/6 piece bonus-set for lack of any other NPCs that drop relics.

COME ON TYNON - be reasonable. Open up another Elite that drops Relics or make Reanimated NPC drop ONLY relics rather than throwing the dice for a 20% chance of winning a relic per 24 hr period and having to destroy/sell useless swords, staffs, etc. that you get from the other NPCs. This is just BAD game sequencing design that actually bottle necks gem spending for the chip imbeds for the higher level gear waiting to be unlocked on champ gear - for weeks.
