# Relic System
Relics are powerful ancient items that drastically enhance your mining strategy. They are **long-term power sources** that define your team's synergy, amplify specific builds, and unlock hidden potential.
***
## What Are Relics?
Relics are **equipable items** that grant unique **permanent effects** to your miners. Unlike Boosters (which are temporary), Relics stay with your miner until manually swapped.
Each Relic can provide:
* Passive buffs (e.g., +X% Artifact Drop Rate)
* Defensive boosts (e.g., Trap Reflection or Poison)
***
## Equipping Relics
* **Each miner has 2 Relic slots**.
* You can **equip any Relic** as long as it’s not already active elsewhere.
* **No duplicates**: The same Relic cannot be equipped twice across your active team of 15 miners.
> Strategic diversity is key! Mixing Relics across miners increases overall synergy.
***
## How to Obtain Relics
Relics can be:
* **Found** in Addicted Artifact chests (high risk = better chance)
* **Forged** via recipes discovered in Dungeons
* **Traded** with other players
* **Rewarded** through guild events and rankings
***
## Relic Rarities
| Rarity | Description | Example Effects |

| Common | Basic buffs, early-game support | +3% Mining Speed |
| Rare | Moderate enhancements | +10% Trap Evasion |
| Epic | Synergistic power boosts | +1 to all Skills |
| Legendary | Build-defining game changers | Double Relic Effects |
| Cursed | High reward, with dangerous side-effects | +25% Risk but -20% Stamina |
***
## Inventory Management
* Relics **take up inventory slots**.
* You can **store or sell** them.
* Smart inventory planning is crucial to avoid clutter.
***
## Strategic Depth
The Relic system encourages:
* **Team composition planning**
* **Adaptation to specific dungeons and events**
* **Experimentation with builds**
From tanky setups to glass-cannon artifact hunters — the right Relic combo can turn the tide of any expedition.
