No, the Tears seam to only effect drop rate within The Everfall. The Difficulty shouldn't be a problem as well, as only on hard mode you will get more Money outside BBI - which may replace other Drops like Materials. Haven't noticed any difference within BBI.

So, you only got bad luck not getting 1. You may simply save your Game right before the Encounter, kill him and if it's not the Ruinous Relic, stab yourself with the Godsbane and try it again.
