What is the point of an Athena quest anymore? Everyone just seems to spam Athena Runs at Thieves Haven and the original quests have been made insanely obsolete.
I think what the developers wanted to do is have different voyages for athena, especially since they upped it from 10-20. When you reach level 50 in 3 trading companies, you can get the athena voyage, here's what i think:
The Thieves Haven Run is made for strict athena level 20 grinding, you only get gems and athena items so you can easily get only athena items.
The Athena voyage is made to level up GH, OOS, MA, and Athena all at the same time, because you get all that different loot.
It's different voyages for different things, they also did change the Athena voyage to give you 2 athena skulls when you kill captains, and more athena trinkets when you dig up X's.
This is the worst part of the game for me. I can do the most exhausting voyages in the game, the Devil's Roar Athena, and it didn't even bring me to rank 4 Emissary.
You can't get level 5 from doing thieves Haven runs either, you have to do all 5 chapters 2 times each.
