The relic registry

Relics

Fifteen legendary items, each with powers no normal gear has. Most can only exist once in the whole world, so whoever forges one first holds it until it is taken from them.

1. Hunt shards

Every relic has its own shard, found in one place in the world.

2. Craft a core

Put the shards into a crafting table in the core's shape.

3. Forge at an altar

Offer the core and materials at that relic's Relic Altar.

Relics stay in your own inventory: they cannot be stored in chests, backpacks or the auction house, and they cannot be destroyed. You can drop one, and anyone can pick it up. In game, type /recipe for the recipe book or /relicguide for the Tome of Relics.
