Qadim the Relicweaver

Qadim the Relicweaver
Role	Relic binder
Location	The Dunes East (house with a shard on the table)
Services	Binds a Relic to earned gear for 5 Gold

Qadim the Relicweaver lives in a house in The Dunes East with a shard on the table. He 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. Full details are on Update:Relics.

Dialogue

When he was first placed in the Dunes (before the weave opened), Qadim said:

"The relics are restless yet. Come back when the sand has settled."

Official v5.3 copy also described him as drawing relics out of the sand. (Server Update v5.3)

Services

Service	Cost	Notes
Relic weave	5 Gold	The shard decides which of 60 Relics binds to the item. Permanent.

The weave

• 60 Relics — 20 for tools, 20 for weapons, 20 for armor — from common up through Qadim's own three legendaries: Qadim's Fortune, Qadim's Wrath, and Qadim's Embrace.
• Relics belong to the item, not the player. Sell it and the Relic goes with the Marketplace listing; buy it back and the Relic returns with it.
• Relics cannot be moved, re-rolled, or removed.

What he will take

Earned gear only — the free trainer kit is not eligible.

• Level 2 pickaxe, axe, sword, and fishing rod (Level 2 Fishing Rod)
• Copper and Silver pickaxes, axes, and swords
• the Fire-Resistant Fishing Rod (fireproof / lava rod), and every piece of armor

What Relics do

• Tools — faster swings, bigger hauls, better odds on the 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

Caps: armor stats ±10%, follow-up strikes 15 damage, deepest health pool 110.

Location

Qadim's house is in The Dunes East. Look for the shard on the table.
