Relic

Relics are randomly generated Items that can be found when exploring a Historical Site. They come with a unique set of powers that are within their own exclusive pools. Typical relics can spawn with 1-4 of any randomly* selected powers.

Relic Weapons, Armor, and Shields

Major Powers

The following powers, sometimes referred to as major relic powers, can be generated on weapons, armor, and shields. Gold-colored values are randomly determined. Chrome-colored values are decided based on the Tier of the armor or weapon, which can range from 1-8 (tier 1 items will have the lowest value shown below, while tier 8 items will have the highest value shown).

Powers marked with an ^E require an energy cell to function.

Relic Books

Relics can sometimes generate as a book, these relic books have variation based on its function which affects the description of the book. Relic books can generate as:

• Book
• Treaty
• Chronology
• Philosophy
• Hypothesis
• Account
• Allegory
• Wintry Truth
• Codex
• Tome
• Volume
• Atlas
• Lexicon
• Folio
• Omnibus
• Opus

Relic books have a commerce value of 200 + 100 * Tier, a much higher value than normal randomly generated books when sold or traded to Sheba Hagadias, Librarian of the Stilt for experience points.

Relic Tonic

Relic tonics are all based on Eaters' nectar injector, and can even be prepared into drops of nectar just like they can. (Also just like Eaters' nectar injectors, unlike most tonics, they cannot cause overdose.)
