We’ve increased the level cap of most (70+) relics from Level 10 to Level 15.
With that, several balance changes and new systems have been implemented.

These changes have been on test for awhile but that doesn’t mean that there will be no issues. If you find anything that seems like it is not working properly or may be a bug please feel free to post it on our Tasks website HERE. Then follow that up by copying and pasting the bug link to one of the staff. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
