Endless Sands Rares: Increased average dropped relics to 8 (was 4).
Sandworn Chest: Increased average dropped relics to 25 (was 18).
Daily Quests: Increased the average number of relics awarded to 8 (was 4).
World Boss: Increased the average dropped relics to 40 (was 13).
Tribute of Enlightened Elders: This chest now grants an average of 60 relics (was 0).

Keep an eye out on the hotfix updates for when the relics change is live.
