Relic
For items with special 2D artwork formerly known as "relics", see Foil item.
For relics that affected character stats that were obtainable in Sanctum league, see sanctified relic.
Relics are a type of item that is exclusive to the Sanctum league. They can be placed in the Relic Altar to provide buffs to various mechanics related to the Forbidden Sanctum.
Mechanics
- Relics can be found in the Sanctum as rewards from guards, minibosses or bosses, or purchased from Sister Divinia for 300 Aureus.
- They can be stored in a special separate stash, which can also be placed as a hideout decoration.
- To equip a Relic, they must be placed in the Relic Altar on a 5x4 grid with some slots blocked off. Additional grid slots can be unlocked as you progress, up to a total of 18 slots.
- Relics are unmodifiable and are always Magic.
- Relics can be vendored 5 to 1 to obtain a new one with random modifiers.
