==Relics and Abilities== | |||
Abilities are applied to the talisman by finding relics at events, dungeon bosses, monster of the month spawns and at the [[Dungeon_Bosses#Arch_Demon|Arch Demon]] and Lich Khan dungeon bosses. Each talisman has a maximum of four relic slots and aesthetic relic slots. The aesthetic slots are usable at any time and you get relic slots at levels: 1, 4, 7, 10. | |||
[[File:tread_relic.png|Example Relic]] | |||
There are currently four or five unique relics for each type of talisman which are detailed further below. Each relic has ten levels and leveling may lower the skill cooldown, raise the chance to activate, or provide other ability specific bonuses. These abilities typically have a random chance to activate on damage and a cooldown to only allow them to be activated at certain intervals. | |||
To add a relic to your talisman, double click the relic and then select your talisman. Be sure to stand in a safe place while doing this as relics can be stolen! | |||
With the recent change you are now able to swap your active relics, double click your Meta Talisman and then click on the [ - ] symbol next to the relic you wish to remove from the active relic list (highlighted in yellow in screenshot). Once you have an open unused slot available you will be able to hit the [ - ] symbol next to relics in the inactive list to make it an active relic (highlighted in red in screenshot). Keep in mind if you swap frequently in a short amount of time it will put it into cooldown. | |||
[[File:RelicSwap2.PNG|275px|Relic Swap]] | |||
Note that you will have to be quite lucky for all your talisman's relics drop for you. You may need to frequent the [http://www.uoforum.com/forums/buying.14/ Buying] and [http://www.uoforum.com/forums/selling.15/ Selling] forums to find your relics. Keep in mind that certain relics are more popular than others and can therefore be expensive to purchase. Being part of a larger guild can also provide a useful avenue for getting relics at a reduced rate. | |||
===Relic Qualities=== | |||
Relics will have 4 qualities; Crumbling, Flawed, Perfect, and Flawless(currently not yet available!). Relics will now have separate Maximum Level Thresholds based on their Quality Level, and can be used to increase to a current maximum level of an equipped relic, and now be used with different [[Power Scrolls]] amounts based on quality level on [[Meta_Talismans#Relic_Fragments|Relic Fragment Systems]]. The [[Slayer_Armor#Transmutation_Cube|Transmutation cube]] can be used to convert 8 Crumbling Relics of the '''SAME QUALITY TYPE''' into a Flawed Relic version, however be extremely careful to make sure that all 8 Crumbling Relics are of the same quality and belong to the same type of Relic otherwise '''YOU WILL LOSE ALL ITEMS IF THE RECIPE FAILS!!!'''. | |||
The Known Relic Qualities are: | |||
* '''Crumbling Relic''' - Will increase a current maximum relic level by 1, up to level 6. Can be used as 1 [[Power Scrolls|Power Scroll]] worth of points on relic fragment systems. | |||
* '''Flawed Relic''' - Will increase a current maximum relic level by 2, up to level 10. Can be used as 10 [[Power Scrolls]] worth of points on relic fragment systems. | |||
* '''Perfect Relic''' - Will increase a current maximum relic level to 10, and will not go beyond level 10. Can NOT be used as points on relic fragment systems. | |||
* '''Flawless'''(not currently yet available!) - Will increase a current maximum level by 1. Can only be used from level 10 to level 15. Can be used as 20 [[Power Scrolls]] worth of points on the relic fragment system. | |||

===Relic Changes=== | |||
Content releases that has come after the 10th Anniversary has brought some changes to the way relics gain levels, where they come from, and new functionality such as combining different relics together. This is a community driven FAQ to cover all the changes related to a Major Patch releases: | |||
* January 25th, 2023: [https://www.uoforum.com/threads/8-7-0-0-major-patch-crafter-talisman-relic-update-housing-biowners-and-more.110164/ 8.7.0.0 - Major Patch - Crafter Talisman, Relic Update, Housing Biowners and more] | |||

* March 5th, 2023: [https://www.uoforum.com/threads/8-7-4-0-notification-updates-minor-fixes-and-tons-of-extra-backend-logging.110178/ 8.7.4.0 - Notification updates, minor fixes, and tons of extra backend logging.] | |||
====What changed about relics?==== | |||
Relics now have four levels: Crumbling, Flawed, Flawless (not yet released), and Perfect. Perfect relics are those which are unchanged from the recent update...spider, archery, and rogue relics. | |||
====What do the different levels mean?==== | |||
When a relic is applied to a talisman or pet, it starts with zero experience and a maximum level cap. That level cap is determined by the level and number of relics you have applied. | |||
*Crumbling relics add +1 to the relic level cap, up to a max of level six. | |||
*Flawed relics add +2 to the relic level cap, up to a max of level 10. | |||
*Flawless relics will add +1 to the relic level cap, from level 11 to level 15 (not currently available). | |||
*Perfect relics will add +10 to the relic level cap, to a max of level 10. | |||
Relics added must be of the same type. For example, if you have a tread relic with a level cap of 2, you need to add more tread relics to increase the level cap. | |||
Relics can gain experience past their level cap, but will not exceed their current max. For example, if your relic is at 2/2 and says 0/1600 xp, you can still earn xp until it says 1600/1600 but cannot proceed to the next level until you have applied another relic to increase your cap to 2/3. | |||
====I hear that relics will be able to go as high as level 15. How do I do that?==== | |||
That is a separate change coming at an undetermined date in the future. When that happens, flawless relics will be added which will increase your relic level cap by +1 and is the only relic type that can be used to increase level caps beyond 10. | |||
Once that change is implemented in the future, a typical progression would look like this: six crumbling relics to have a level cap of six, two flawed relics to increase the level cap to 10, then five flawless relics to reach a final level cap of 15. | |||
====If I already had a relic applied to my talisman before this update, did anything change?==== | |||
No. If you already had a relic applied to your pet or talisman before this update, you already had a relic level cap of 10 and that did not change. This change only applied to relics that were not already applied to a pet or talisman. | |||
====Do the new relic types also raise my current level?==== | |||
No. The relics simply increase the level cap of the relic, they do not replace the experience that has to be earned to achieve each level. | |||
====Which relic types can be used to charge spider relics?==== | |||
Any! Now both pet and talisman relics can be used to charge spider relics. Crumbling relics are equivalent to 1 [[Power Scrolls|Power Scroll]], flawed relics are equivalent to 10 [[Power Scrolls]], flawless relics will be equivalent to 20 [[Power Scrolls]], perfect relics (spider, archery, rogue) cannot be used to charge spider relics. | |||
====How do I find these relics?==== | |||
:'''Craft Relics''' | |||
::[[Bulk_Order_Deed#Rewards|Bulk Order Deed turn-ins]] will have a chance to drop [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Fragments|small relic fragments]] for the [[Antique_of_the_Artisan|Artifact of the Artisan]]. The character turning in the [[Bulk_Order_Deed|Bulk Order Deed]] must have the [[Antique_of_the_Artisan|Artifact of the Artisan]] equipped to have a chance at [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Fragments|small relic fragments]]. The chance of getting a [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Fragments|small relic fragment]] from [[Bulk_Order_Deed#Rewards|Bulk Order Deed turn-ins]] is about 1%. | |||
::[[Meta_Pets#Relic_Fragments|Small relic fragments]] can be combined with additional [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Fragments|small relic fragments]] to create a [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Fragments|crumbling relic]]. Each fragment is worth one point and a total of 12 need to be combined to make the [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Qualities|Crumbling Relic]]. [[Power_Scrolls|Power scrolls]] and other relics can also be added to a [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Fragments|small relic fragment]] to create a [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Qualities|Crumbling Relic]]. [[Power_Scrolls|Power scrolls]] are equivalent to one point, [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Qualities|Crumbling Relics]] are equivalent to 1 point, and [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Qualities|Flawed Relics]] are worth 10 points. [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Qualities|Perfect Relics]] cannot be combined with small relic fragments. | |||
::When [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Fragments|small relic fragments]] are combined, the final [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Qualities|Crumbling Relic]] that is created will match the fragment which you double clicked. For example, if you double click [[Antique_of_the_Artisan#Recycler|a small Recycler Relic fragment]] and target 11 [[Antique_of_the_Artisan#Imbueologist|small Imbueologist Relic fragments]], the resulting [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Qualities|Crumbling Relic]] will be a [[Antique_of_the_Artisan#Recycler|Recycler Relic]] type. | |||

::It is unknown at this time how [[Meta_Pets#Relic_Qualities|Flawess Relics]] will be obtained. | |||
====Have the aesthetic relics changed at all?==== | |||
Yes! Previously, aesthetic relics could be applied to a talisman at any time and meta pets that had met specific level requirements. Now, aesthetic relics can be applied to a talisman or meta pet at any time, no matter what level they are. Aesthetic relics cannot be used to charge spider relics or combined with small relic fragments to create crumbling relics. | |||

Description
Meta Pets are special bonded pets which become stronger as they gain levels killing creatures and were first introduced in Publish 4 on September 5th, 2014, starting with Meta Dragons. There are currently five Meta Pet types: Meta Dragon, Steed, Spider, Crab and Mantis.
Meta Pets can learn abilities from Meta Relics which, in the case of Meta Steeds and Dragons, can be obtained from Random Dungeon Adventures, invasion rewards and monster of the month drops. Meta Dragons and Spiders can hold a total of four Meta Relics at once. Meta Steeds can only hold three relics - A small trade-off for being able to also mount the beastly creature! More information can be found in Meta Relics.
Each relic ability has different effects, cool downs and application rates. The abilities will only work against untamed creatures and they will not be usable against players or other tamed creatures. Meta Skills can be applied with a Meta Stone. Purchased either from the gold sink vendor or from [shop using donation coins.
Meta Pets level up by killing creatures. All damage done to a creature is saved and then given out to damaging Meta Pets upon their death. Experience cannot be gained while in a house. A creature cannot give total experience greater than its maximum hit points. This means that you cannot farm the same creature for an indefinite amount of time. The owner of the Meta Pet must be in the general vicinity of the pet for it to gain experience. If a Meta Pet dies, it will lose experience equal to the amount of remaining hit points on the creature it was fighting. If the Meta Pet is transferred to another player, all experience progress on the current level will be lost.
Meta pet owners will be required to meet the taming requirement of the next pet level for the pet to evolve to that level. Example: 120 taming is required to evolve a level 6 dragon to level 7. A level 7 dragon can be evolved by a 120 tamer and later transferred to a 115 tamer, though a fresh level 7 will struggle to listen.
Protecting Your Pet
Warning: Meta Pets are very attractive targets for pet trappers who will try to lure your pets to their house to trap it. Depending on the level of your pet, you will need to pay a fee to regain access to the pet. For more information please see the Protecting Your Pets page.
Meta Stone
The Meta Stone is an item purchased from the Wearables Vendor or the Unique Wares Vendor. At time of writing, it cost 3 million gold pieces from the vendor. It is used to apply Meta Relics to your Meta Pet, as well as view it's level progress of Relic Skills making it an essential part of Meta Pet trainer's toolkit.
The Meta Stone will also display the taming requirement of the Meta Pet. This taming requirement can drop 0.5 every time the Meta Pet XP "rolls over" at max level. For example, a fresh Level 7 Meta Dragon will have a taming requirement of 120. If you gain another 2 million XP on the Meta Dragon, its XP will roll over and the taming requirement will be reduced by 0.5. After 8 roll overs, the taming requirement will no longer reduce. The lowest taming requirement for a Level 7 Meta Dragon is therefore 116.
Meta Relics
Meta Relics are add-ons for Meta Pets. Relics are dropped as rare loot by a variety of bosses around the world. They are one-time use only - once applied to a meta pet, the relic is gone forever but lives on as a skill for the meta pet. Meta Relics can never be removed, however they can be disabled. If a Meta Relic is disabled, all progress in that Relic's skill will remain saved, and the Relic will be shown in the "Disabled Relics" area. Returning the Relic to the Meta Pet can be done by clicking the minus sign again, and all of the previous skill will return to the Meta Pet.
Aesthetic Relics can now be applied to pets as well.
Relics and Abilities
Abilities are applied to the talisman by finding relics at events, dungeon bosses, monster of the month spawns and at the Arch Demon and Lich Khan dungeon bosses. Each talisman has a maximum of four relic slots and aesthetic relic slots. The aesthetic slots are usable at any time and you get relic slots at levels: 1, 4, 7, 10.
There are currently four or five unique relics for each type of talisman which are detailed further below. Each relic has ten levels and leveling may lower the skill cooldown, raise the chance to activate, or provide other ability specific bonuses. These abilities typically have a random chance to activate on damage and a cooldown to only allow them to be activated at certain intervals.
To add a relic to your talisman, double click the relic and then select your talisman. Be sure to stand in a safe place while doing this as relics can be stolen!
With the recent change you are now able to swap your active relics, double click your Meta Talisman and then click on the [ - ] symbol next to the relic you wish to remove from the active relic list (highlighted in yellow in screenshot). Once you have an open unused slot available you will be able to hit the [ - ] symbol next to relics in the inactive list to make it an active relic (highlighted in red in screenshot). Keep in mind if you swap frequently in a short amount of time it will put it into cooldown.
Note that you will have to be quite lucky for all your talisman's relics drop for you. You may need to frequent the Buying and Selling forums to find your relics. Keep in mind that certain relics are more popular than others and can therefore be expensive to purchase. Being part of a larger guild can also provide a useful avenue for getting relics at a reduced rate.
Relic Qualities
Relics will have 4 qualities; Crumbling, Flawed, Perfect, and Flawless(currently not yet available!). Relics will now have separate Maximum Level Thresholds based on their Quality Level, and can be used to increase to a current maximum level of an equipped relic, and now be used with different Power Scrolls amounts based on quality level on Relic Fragment Systems. The Transmutation cube can be used to convert 8 Crumbling Relics of the SAME QUALITY TYPE into a Flawed Relic version, however be extremely careful to make sure that all 8 Crumbling Relics are of the same quality and belong to the same type of Relic otherwise YOU WILL LOSE ALL ITEMS IF THE RECIPE FAILS!!!.
The Known Relic Qualities are:
- Crumbling Relic - Will increase a current maximum relic level by 1, up to level 6. Can be used as 1 Power Scroll worth of points on relic fragment systems.
- Flawed Relic - Will increase a current maximum relic level by 2, up to level 10. Can be used as 10 Power Scrolls worth of points on relic fragment systems.
- Perfect Relic - Will increase a current maximum relic level to 10, and will not go beyond level 10. Can NOT be used as points on relic fragment systems.
- Flawless(not currently yet available!) - Will increase a current maximum level by 1. Can only be used from level 10 to level 15. Can be used as 20 Power Scrolls worth of points on the relic fragment system.
Relic Fragments
- Small Relic Fragments
- Small Relic Fragments can be used to build Relics of Crumbling Relic Quality. Small Relic Fragments will have a specific Relic they originally belong to and start with 1 point in their Relic Fragment System. These Small Relic Fragments can be used to absorb Power Scrolls to add 1 point to their Relic System, or absorb Relics for points listed in Relic Qualities.
- Relic Fragments
- There are other Relic Fragments can be purchased from the Gold Sink Vendor that can be used with the Meta Spider Pet, Meta Crab Pet, or Meta Mantis Pet. Relic Fragments will have a specific Relic they originally belong to and start with 0 points in their Relic Fragment System. These Relic Fragments can be used to absorb Power Scrolls to add 1 point to their Relic System, or absorb Relics for points listed in Relic Qualities. Each Relic Fragment may have a different total amounts to reach before they can be applied to a Meta Spider Pet, Meta Crab Pet, or Meta Mantis Pet and you can read more about the relic totals in their respective sections.
Relic Changes
Content releases that has come after the 10th Anniversary has brought some changes to the way relics gain levels, where they come from, and new functionality such as combining different relics together. This is a community driven FAQ to cover all the changes related to a Major Patch releases:
- January 25th, 2023: 8.7.0.0 - Major Patch - Crafter Talisman, Relic Update, Housing Biowners and more
- February 6th, 2023: 8.7.2.0 - Classic Housing upgrade, Talisman Dye, and Crafting Achievement Fixes.. & More
- February 26th, 2023: Server update 8.7.3.0 - Tons of Talisman Relic updates, Rogue Talisman Provisional update, and more.
- March 5th, 2023: 8.7.4.0 - Notification updates, minor fixes, and tons of extra backend logging.
What changed about relics?
Relics now have four levels: Crumbling, Flawed, Flawless (not yet released), and Perfect. Perfect relics are those which are unchanged from the recent update...spider, archery, and rogue relics.
What do the different levels mean?
When a relic is applied to a talisman or pet, it starts with zero experience and a maximum level cap. That level cap is determined by the level and number of relics you have applied.
- Crumbling relics add +1 to the relic level cap, up to a max of level six.
- Flawed relics add +2 to the relic level cap, up to a max of level 10.
- Flawless relics will add +1 to the relic level cap, from level 11 to level 15 (not currently available).
- Perfect relics will add +10 to the relic level cap, to a max of level 10.
Relics added must be of the same type. For example, if you have a tread relic with a level cap of 2, you need to add more tread relics to increase the level cap.
Relics can gain experience past their level cap, but will not exceed their current max. For example, if your relic is at 2/2 and says 0/1600 xp, you can still earn xp until it says 1600/1600 but cannot proceed to the next level until you have applied another relic to increase your cap to 2/3.
I hear that relics will be able to go as high as level 15. How do I do that?
That is a separate change coming at an undetermined date in the future. When that happens, flawless relics will be added which will increase your relic level cap by +1 and is the only relic type that can be used to increase level caps beyond 10.
Once that change is implemented in the future, a typical progression would look like this: six crumbling relics to have a level cap of six, two flawed relics to increase the level cap to 10, then five flawless relics to reach a final level cap of 15.
If I already had a relic applied to my talisman before this update, did anything change?
No. If you already had a relic applied to your pet or talisman before this update, you already had a relic level cap of 10 and that did not change. This change only applied to relics that were not already applied to a pet or talisman.
Do the new relic types also raise my current level?
No. The relics simply increase the level cap of the relic, they do not replace the experience that has to be earned to achieve each level.
Which relic types can be used to charge spider relics?
Any! Now both pet and talisman relics can be used to charge spider relics. Crumbling relics are equivalent to 1 Power Scroll, flawed relics are equivalent to 10 Power Scrolls, flawless relics will be equivalent to 20 Power Scrolls, perfect relics (spider, archery, rogue) cannot be used to charge spider relics.
How do I find these relics?
- Craft Relics
- Bulk Order Deed turn-ins will have a chance to drop small relic fragments for the Artifact of the Artisan. The character turning in the Bulk Order Deed must have the Artifact of the Artisan equipped to have a chance at small relic fragments. The chance of getting a small relic fragment from Bulk Order Deed turn-ins is about 1%.
- Small relic fragments can be combined with additional small relic fragments to create a crumbling relic. Each fragment is worth one point and a total of 12 need to be combined to make the Crumbling Relic. Power scrolls and other relics can also be added to a small relic fragment to create a Crumbling Relic. Power scrolls are equivalent to one point, Crumbling Relics are equivalent to 1 point, and Flawed Relics are worth 10 points. Perfect Relics cannot be combined with small relic fragments.
- When small relic fragments are combined, the final Crumbling Relic that is created will match the fragment which you double clicked. For example, if you double click a small Recycler Relic fragment and target 11 small Imbueologist Relic fragments, the resulting Crumbling Relic will be a Recycler Relic type.
- Other Relics:
- Monster of the Week mobs, World Objectives (such as necromancer cemetery mobs), Treasure Maps, Messages in a Bottle, Whirlpools and Paragon Chests have a chance to drop Crumbling Relics (not including crafting relics). The chance of getting a Crumbling Relic can include either Meta Talisman Relics and Meta Pet Relics.
- Dungeon Bosses and Champion Bosses have a chance to drop Flawed Relics.
- Flawed Relics (all types) can also be created by using the transmutation cube (available on the gold sink vendors) and a new recipe to combine 8 Crumbling Relics. The 8 Crumbling Relics must all be of the same type.
- It is unknown at this time how Flawess Relics will be obtained.
Have the aesthetic relics changed at all?
Yes! Previously, aesthetic relics could be applied to a talisman at any time and meta pets that had met specific level requirements. Now, aesthetic relics can be applied to a talisman or meta pet at any time, no matter what level they are. Aesthetic relics cannot be used to charge spider relics or combined with small relic fragments to create crumbling relics.
