The boss chest at the end of an FotM run is supposed to give significantly more relics than the other normal chests.

I just did level 36 with a PRL of 32 today and this is what I got. With my PRL the correct number of relics is 45.

Am I supposed to be receiving 1/4 of the relics that I used to get? This change was not documented in the patch notes.

I believe you get the extra relics in the daily reward chest with the gold you receive for completing. It’s always been that way to my recollection.

level 32 gives 11 relics per fractal (4 fractals total)
level 32 daily chest gives an extra 35 relics
I’m guessing you already did the 31-40 daily before you did that run

The point is that pre-patch, you used to get 45 fractal relics from the normal (not daily) jade maw chest at scale 32, in addition to the 35 relics from the daily chest.

So pre-patch: you would get 113 relics (3*11 + 45 + 35) for a complete scale 32 daily run.

Post-patch: you get 79 relics (4*11 + 35) for a complete scale 32 daily.

This is a pretty substantial nerf to relic drops that was not mentioned in the patch notes.

Any information on this? Intentional, unintentional?
