An n-pointed asterisk (where n is replaced by an ordinal number between four and ten) is a unique relic created by {{favilink|Thah}} for completing the quest [[Landing Pads]], and has effects dependent on the outcome of the quest. The asterisk confers its effects by being in the player's inventory and does not require an equipment slot. | An n-pointed asterisk (where n is replaced by an ordinal number between four and ten) is a unique relic created by {{favilink|Thah}} for completing the quest [[Landing Pads]], and has effects dependent on the outcome of the quest.

The Slynth will choose a settlement randomly from among those settlements the player secured as potential settlement locations. More powerful asterisks have more points: for example, a four-pointed asterisk is less effective than the maximal, ten-pointed asterisk. The number of points on the asterisk is equal to the total number of settlements who agreed to host the Slynth, up to a maximum value of 10.{{Code Reference|class=PointedAsteriskBuilder}} | ||
