Editing Relic

{{Ideology}}
{{Stub|reason=Detail on pilgrims, and more in general}}
<blockquote>Relics are objects of spiritual or ideological significance. They can be discovered by completing long and dangerous quests. A relic can be installed in a reliquary to attract pilgrims, enhance rituals, and strengthen an ideoligion's ability to convert outsiders.</blockquote>

A '''relic''' is a holy item revered by your [[ideoligion]], ideally placed in a [[reliquary]]. In order to be obtained, they must be found through a 5 part quest.

== Summary ==
Relics are chosen through the ideoligion creation screen: either at the beginning of your game, or possibly later on if you chose the ''[[Ideoligion#Fluid ideoligions|Fluid Ideoligion]]'' option. There are multiple designated relic items, like a chalice or a hilt, available to pick from. Alternatively, relics can be any [[weapon]] in the game - ranging from a [[pump shotgun]] to a [[persona monosword]]. 

Weapons will always be of ''legendary'' [[quality]], if possible (e.g. a [[thrumbo horn]] has no quality), but otherwise fight the same as other weapons. Other relic items have no special use outside of Ideoligions. 
:If a relic is a [[persona weapon]], its persona traits will be generated at the same time as a quest{{Check Tag|Which quest?}}. This means that a player may load a previous savegame to re-randomize an artifact persona weapon's traits if they are not favorable, providing that the storyteller is not in commitment mode.

Reliecs are revered by your [[ideoligion]], so pawns of that ideoligion will receive buffs accordingly:
* Finding any relic will give fluid ideoligions +5 development points
* Finding all the sacred relics gives a +15 mood bonus for 15 days. 
* A relic being present at a ritual gives a +3 mood bonus for 4 days.
* A relic installed in a [[reliquary]] gives +10% multiplicative bonus strength to the Moral Guide's [[Ideoligion#Moral Guides|Convert]] power for that ideoligion, when the power is used on the same map as the reliquary. In effect, the total certainty reduction is multiplied by 110%.

A relic being lost or destroyed causes a mood malus of -5 for 30 days. This malus can stack up to five times.

== Acquisition ==
In order to obtain a relic, you must participate in 5 different subquests, then travel to the relic's location. Subquests can repeat; if you fail one, more will appear later on. There are 4 different types of subquest:

{{Icon Small|Spacedrone|48}} '''Hacking a Spacedrone'''

A spacedrone will land near the colony which you must hack. Raiders from a certain faction will periodically raid the base, with an interval of approximately 8 hours. These raids will be focused on attacking the drone, and raiders will ignore pawns shooting at them. The drone has 750 hack points. Once finished hacking, the drone will explode in 30 seconds in 1x speed.

[[File:Worshipful village world site.png|48px]] '''Worshipful Village'''

The quest creates a neutral tribal village that is not part of any faction, and worship an ancient terminal containing information about the relic. The villagers are neutral at first, allowing you to visit on the pretense that you are worshiping the terminal too, but will turn hostile upon three conditions: harming a member of the tribe, contact with the terminal, and overstaying your visit (10 hours). Reinforcements will arrive if you do not leave in time after turning hostile.

[[File:Ancient complex world site.png|48px]] '''Ancient Compound'''

An ancient compound will spawn on the map, containing hermetic crates, fuel barrels, and ??. 

[[File:Ancient complex world site.png|48px]] '''Ferried Ancient Compound'''

The exact same as the above quest, but the quest giver will shuttle a set number of pawns to the location. The location will not spawn until you arrive.

----
[[File:Ancient relic world site.png|48px]] '''Relic Location'''

After completing 5 subquests, the relic's location will be revealed. 

You are able to travel to an ancient structure, which is guarded by some [[mechanoids]]. The mechs will wake up after 3 days have passed, but there is no other time pressure. The structure contains a [[reliquary]] containing the relic. The relic can be uninstalled and the reliquary deconstructed for valuable [[gold]], ending the quest.

-{{Stub|section=1|reason=What happens when a consumable relic is used?}}
-Relics can be a range of different items. These include:
-* [[#Inert relics|Inert relics]]: A term used internally for dedicated relic items, i.e. items that serve no other purpose than to act as relics. Inert relics have a relic chance of 5.
-* Weapons: Almost any obtainable weapon in the game can be selected. Exceptions include the [[Triple rocket launcher|triple]] and [[doomsday rocket launcher]]s, [[frag grenades|frag]] and [[EMP grenades]], [[molotov cocktails]], and [[pila]]. All weapons have a relic chance of 1, with the following exceptions:
-** [[Gladius]], [[Longsword]], [[Elephant tusk]]: 2
-** [[Thrumbo horn]], [[Eltex staff]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[Monosword]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[Zeushammer]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[Plasmasword]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[Persona monosword]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[Persona zeushammer]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[Persona plasmasword]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}: 3
-* Certain single use consumable items such as [[Psychic animal pulser]], [[psychic soothe pulser]], [[psychic shock lance]], [[psychic insanity lance]]. Each artifact has a relic chance of 5. However, upon use the artifact will count as being destroyed giving a 'Relic Lost' mood malus
-The items will be renamed with randomly generated name and stuffable items will have a random stuff type chosen. Both can be specified by the player during ideoligion creation.
-Relic chances are used when an ideoligion is first generated, when an ideoligion preset is used, or when the "Ideology system: inactive" option is chosen. When customizing an ideoligion, the player can choose any type of relic without penalty, making relic chances irrelevant.
-Weapons will always be of ''legendary'' [[quality]], if possible (e.g. a [[thrumbo horn]] has no quality), but otherwise act the same as other weapons. Note that the pilgrim quests, as well as the mood and certainty buffs require the relic to be placed in a reliquary. In addition, being carried makes relic loss or destruction possible. These factors must be taken into account when choosing whether to enshrine or wield relic weapons.
-If a relic is a [[persona weapon]], its persona traits will be generated at the same time as a quest{{Check Tag|Which quest?}}. This means that a player may load a previous savegame to re-randomize an artifact persona weapon's traits if they are not favorable, providing that the storyteller is not in commitment mode.

+Non-weapon relics
-=== Legendary weapon farming ===
+General stats:
-When you reform a [[fluid ideoligion]], you get to generate 3 entirely new relics at a time. "Old" relics remain as legendary weapons. It is possible to generate an indefinite amount of weapons using the following steps:
+* Description: An object with ideoligious significance.
+* Mass: 1.5
-# Create a fluid ideoligion at game start.
+* HP: 200
-# Select three weapons of your choice. (Usually [[persona monosword]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} / [[persona zeushammer]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} - see below)
+* Beauty: 1
-# Perform the quests to retrieve the relics.
+* Market Value: 200
-# Reform the ideoligion, and repeat until you have enough weapons.
+* Stuff count: 100 (Defined, but seemingly not used)
+* Tech level: Archotech
-[[Persona weapon]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} are usually the best option, as they cannot be crafted. Acquiring high-quality persona weapons can be very difficult. This is made even harder as many [[persona trait]]s are undesirable. [[Persona monosword]]s and [[persona zeushammer]]s benefit the most from quality. [[Eltex staff|Eltex staves]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} also have some merit.
-With craftable items, relic hunting is ''possible'', but often inefficient. This is due to the impact of [[Roles#Production specialist|production specialist]]. A Crafting 20 production specialist has a ~9.6% to make a legendary item. With a source of [[inspired creativity]] ([[tortured artist]] or [[psycasts|word of inspiration]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}), this jumps to 97.54% legendary.
-So in the late game, it is usually easier to craft legendary weapons rather than relic hunt. In addition, the process of farming legendaries will also create many masterwork weapons. This is why persona weapons and eltex staves are recommended; you can't use a production specialist to make them.
