Relics make up two of the fourteen slots of your gear. They are used to add some stats and effects to your gameplay gear, making your combat more efficient.
There are three different usages of relics, and you want to make sure you know which you have.
- Fixed Relics – Stats but no effects
- Proc Relics – Effects that are randomly activated
- On Use Relics – Effects must be clicked to trigger them
