Relic List

When you start the test, you will be given a list of your 14 ideal relics. Your goal is to find relics that match as many attributes as possible on your list.

Trophy Case

Built in a compound (7 x 5). Option to build is under "Tests...".

Scoring and Passes

  • When you install a relic in your Trophy Case, you will receive 1 point, with a 7x multiplier if you found it yourself.
  • Each attribute on the relic that matches your ideal list will add a multiplier to the score for that relic.
  • The multiplier for each attribute appears to be equal to the number of possibilities for that attribute minus 1, with the exception of color (which maxes out at 7).
    • Color: 7x
    • Size: 4x
    • Sturdyness: 2x
    • Weight: 3x
    • Age: 3x
    • Purpose: 4x
  • You may not install more than one of a particular type of relic in the case.
  • You may, however, remove installed relics, if you find a better match.
  • You need at least 7 relics on your trophy case to be able to pass the test.
  • Each week, the top three scores pass.

Trading

Although you do not get the 7x multiplier if you install a relic you did not find yourself, often it may still be better to do so if you can match more attributes.

In Tale 3, this led to an active trading market for relics.

To be added Relic Trading
