Diminishing Returns and Incarnate Trials

I have looked but not found.

I could have sworn that upon completion of certain incarnate trials, you could run them again and still get one emp merit, instead of two.

My thinking was that this was true of UGT, MoM, TPN, and Keyes.

Yet, I can't figure out where I saw it, or if I was just experiencing some wishful thinking.

It is not in the patch notes, I'm sure of that, but they've taken down the discussions of these things where I could have sworn I saw Positron mention the extra emp for repeating some trials.

Am I crazy? losing my already wee brain?

Nope, 'tis true of at least UGT, TPN and MoM. I'm not sure about Keyes.

BAF and Lambda still give Astrals upon any completions beyond the first for the day.

Only TPN and MoM reward 1 emp merit after the first completion in a 20hr lockout period, all the rest give 1 astral merit after the first completion.

Is this still accurate for Keyes, UG, and DD? I know BAF/Lam give an Astral vs and Empyrean during the cool down.

Sorry for the old question, but I don't get the opportunity to run the same non-BAF/Lam I-trial repeatedly.

I thought I recalled an older patch notes, but I could have also been wishful thinking.

Thanks for your help.

I don't remember ever hearing UGT gives a constant emp, I thought that didn't start until TPN/MoM was introduced, but everything -after- those 2 definitely rewards 1 emp if you're on the cool down.

Keyes gives 2 astrals when it's on cooldown. I've never run UG twice in 20 hours, but paragonwiki says it also gives 2 astrals.

Everything after that gives one emp during its cooldown, AFAIK.
