Where Dormant Ancient Relic actually comes from

1 of the 107 droppers pay out only as alphas, flagged "alpha only" on this page. Killing a normal wild one of the same species gets you nothing. Every row is level-gated: the pal has to be at least Lv 70 for the drop to appear, so a low-level kill of the right species still pays nothing. 3 of the droppers have no wild spawn at all, which is the one case where breeding is the answer rather than the hunt.

Eikthyrdeer drops 3 other things on the same kill: Decayed Ancient Relic at ×30-50, Neutral Radiant Gem at ×10-20, Gorgeous Ancient Relic at ×4-8. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Dormant Ancient Relic. Eikthyrdeer's densest spawn is Marsh Island, 63 points at level 11-13. Killing pals is not the only route: Dormant Ancient Relic is in the expedition loot pool at about 26% per expedition, and the elemental chest loot pool at about 22% per chest, and the field chest loot pool at about 5.9% per chest.

The game grades these by condition, and its own line for this one reads “In decent condition, but almost no energy remains.” That grade is the whole difference between the relic tiers, so check which one a recipe asks for before you spend it.

How much Dormant Ancient Relic you get per kill

Dormant Ancient Relic comes in ×1 to ×20 per kill: Eikthyrdeer pays the top ×10-20 and Moldron Cryst the bottom ×1-5. Capturing counts the same as killing for drops, so a sphere and a finishing hit pay identically.
