Qadim the Relicweaver opens his house in The Dunes — bring earned gear and 5 gold, and the shard may bind one of 60 Relics to your item forever.

Relics arrive with Qadim the Relicweaver, a man in a house in The Dunes who keeps a shard on the table and says every item carries a hidden thread. Bring him something you earned and 5 Gold, and he will bind it to something greater. Choose carefully — once woven, a Relic can never be undone.

The weave

  • Cost: 5 Gold per attempt.
  • The shard decides which Relic you receive.
  • 60 Relics exist in total:
    • 20 for tools
    • 20 for weapons
    • 20 for armor
  • Rarity runs from common up through the three of Qadim's own making:
    • Qadim's Fortune
    • Qadim's Wrath
    • Qadim's Embrace

Eligible gear

Qadim accepts earned gear only. The free trainer kit is not eligible — he wants a tool with a story, not one you were handed this morning.

Category Eligible items
Tools / weapons (level 2) Level 2 pickaxe, axe, sword, and fishing rod
Copper Copper pickaxes, axes, and swords
Silver Silver pickaxes, axes, and swords
Special Fireproof Rod, and every piece of armor
Not eligible Free trainer kit starter tools

What Relics do

Category Effects
Tools Faster swings, bigger hauls, better odds on rare finds, more XP
Weapons Heavier hits, follow-through strikes, poisons, life drawn back out of a kill
Armor Damage turned aside, venom blunted, a deeper health pool, and one that pulls you back from a death you should not have walked away from

Binding rules

  • A Relic belongs to one item, not to you.
  • Sell that item and the Relic goes with it — it shows on the marketplace listing, and it is yours again if you buy it back.
  • A Relic cannot be moved to another item, re-rolled, or removed.

Caps
