Relic Bonds

⚔️ Relic Bonds

Your weapons, tools and armor remember you. Every item gets a rarity, gains experience as you use it, and at each level you pick one trait among three cards. No two players will ever own the same relic.

⭐ Rarities

Every weapon, tool and armor piece receives a rarity as soon as it appears: crafted, looted from a chest, dropped by a mob or bought from a villager. Dangerous structures give better odds, and Luck improves your rolls.

Number of levels = number of choices. A Rare relic will have 4 traits in its whole life.

📈 It learns how you play

Your relic gains XP by killing, mining, taking hits or fishing, and it remembers your playstyle: the creatures you hunt, day or night, ores, falls, crowds… The traits it offers adapt to the way you play.

🃏 Choose what it remembers

• When your relic levels up, a big animated announcement appears on screen (golden for an Ultimate level).
• Press R to open the card screen: three cards flip over, colored by category, showing NEW! or an upgrade I ➜ II.
• Your choice is final. You can reroll the cards for one Memory Shard.
• The tooltip shows the rarity, level, XP bar and every trait with its exact effect.

📚 76 traits — every choice has a price

• ⚔ Weapons: Banes (undead, Nether, End…), Bloodthirst, Berserker, Heavy Blade, Swift Blade, Blaze, Frost, Venom, Executioner, Echo Strike, Cleave, Duelist, Tempest…
• 🏹 Ranged: Volley, Heavy Shot, Homing Arrows, Recovery, Sharpshooter…
• ⛏ Tools: 3×3 Excavation, Lumberjack, Smelter, Heart of the Mountain, Harvester, Magnet…
• ◈ Armor (stacks across pieces): Rampart, Thorns, Dodge, Second Wind, Colossus, Shadow, Silent Step…
• ✧ Any item: Soulbound, Indestructible, Faithful Bond, Self-Repair, Wisdom…
• ☯ Pacts: huge bonuses, huge drawbacks (Blood Blade, Greed, Glass Heart…)
• ✦ Ultimates, only at the last level of Legendary and Mythic relics: Judgement, Phoenix, Black Hole, Godforged.

👹 Mob ranks

• Every creature from every mod can get a rank: Weakened, Normal, Hardened, Superior, Elite or Legendary, with more health and damage. The rank is shown above it.
• Ranks get stronger with distance, world days and difficulty.
• Passive mobs get ranks too, with smaller rewards. Cobblemon, NPCs and bosses are excluded by default.
• High-rank mobs drop Memory Shards and Bond Fragments. Bosses (Wither, Dragon, Warden, Elder Guardian) drop an Ancient Core.

🔨 The Bond Forge

Found in structure chests, or crafted with 3 Bond Fragments, 1 anvil and 5 obsidian.

• Purify a Cursed relic
• Upgrade its rarity (one more level). Success isn't guaranteed, and high tiers need a Fragment or an Ancient Core.
• Dismantle a relic into Memory Shards
