Relics
Relics are permanent bonuses woven onto earned gear by Qadim the Relicweaver in The Dunes East. Bring an eligible item and 5 Gold, and the shard rolls one of the 60 Relics — 20 for tools, 20 for weapons, and 20 for armor. The item only ever draws from its own category: a tool receives a tool Relic, a sword a weapon Relic, an armor piece an armor Relic.
A Relic belongs to the item, not the player. It shows on the item's Marketplace listing, and transfers with the item when it is sold or traded. Items carrying a Relic can't be stored in a guild bank.
The Index on kintara.com has a Relics tab: for every Relic in the game it shows how many exist, how many players hold one, its tier, its slot (weapon, tool or armor) and the cheapest one listed on the Marketplace, with rarity and slot filters.
Weaving
- The weave costs 5 Gold per item.
- Qadim takes items from your carried inventory, hotbar, or worn Armor row — never from the Bank.
- The Relic tier is rolled first, then a Relic of that tier from the item's category.
| Tier | Chance | Relics per category |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 60% | 8 |
| Uncommon | 25% | 5 |
| Rare | 10% | 4 |
| Legendary | 4% | 2 |
| Mythic | 1% | 1 |
The three Mythic Relics — Qadim's Fortune (tools), Qadim's Wrath (weapons), and Qadim's Embrace (armor) — sit at the top of the ladder, above Legendary. A weave or reroll that lands a Mythic gets a rare-find reveal and share card.
Rerolling
An already-woven item can be brought back to Qadim for a fresh roll:
- Each reroll costs 5 Gold and replaces the item's Relic with a freshly rolled one.
- A reroll is a fresh roll at the normal odds, so it can land a lower tier than the Relic it replaces, or even the same Relic again.
- An item can be rerolled at most 10 times. After the tenth reroll it locks with whatever it holds.
- The item itself — its durability and identity — is unchanged; only the Relic is replaced.
Removal
A Relic can never be detached or moved to another item. The only way to be rid of one is to destroy the item that carries it: drag the item onto the Trash slot in your inventory. The game warns "Destroy item AND its relic?" — the Relic is destroyed with the item and can never be recovered.
A Relic also goes wherever its item goes. If a woven tool, sword or armor piece runs out of durability, it breaks and the Relic is lost with it (a Repair keeps it safe). The game warns you before that happens: once when the item drops to 10% durability, and a last time at 2%. Repairing woven gear costs only the usual materials, whatever the Relic's tier (see Repair). A woven item that drops into your tombstone when you die in the Wilderness, Emberstone or the Dunes keeps its Relic, for you or whoever loots it; one you carry or wear when you die in the Glade Cave is destroyed along with its Relic.
Eligible gear
Earned gear only — the free trainer handouts are refused.
- Tools: Iron Pickaxe, Copper Pickaxe, Silver Pickaxe, Iron Axe, Copper Axe, Silver Axe, Level 2 Fishing Rod, Fire-Resistant Fishing Rod

Caps
- Armor Relic stats cap at 30% per stat across all worn armor Relics. All armor damage-reduction Relics together, conditional ones included, give at most 30% on any single hit. Venom Ward and Scorpion Ward are counted separately, with their own 30% cap, and apply on top of that against venomous creatures.
- Identical armor procs on several pieces add their chances together, up to 100%.
- Attack speed from Relics is capped at 25%; gathering speed at 25% (including Momentum Glyph).
- Every follow-up strike (empowered hits, bonus-damage procs, echo hits) is clamped at 45 damage.
- Maximum-HP Relics can raise the health pool to at most 130.
