Currently there is no alternative way to obtain a rare relic which drops from the last 2 bosses in Tier 3 Thoth Amon Stronghold raid instance. As i play in a casual guild i have to join pug tier 3 raids and have to rely on chance rolls to win these items which can be a very time consuming process when you are unlucky in rolling.
I know i could leave my guild and join a raiding guild that uses some kind of dkp system but i d`ont see why i should be made to do that just to advance my characters gear.
My suggestion is that why not make these rare relics purchasable at the reliquary vendors ? If it cost 60 tokens and 1 rare to buy 1 of these armor pieces why not make the cost of a rare token 60 t3 tokens which would be fare price.
If implemented i think alot more people would organize tier 3 raids even those doing t4 would benefit at re running these instances.
