How Relics Work
A relic sits in its own slot and carries one equip effect tied to a specific ability: cheaper shapeshifts, a shorter Swiftmend, longer Flame Shock. Swap it to match what you are doing, not just when a bigger number drops.
Forever adds 30 relics across the three classes, from starter pieces with no level requirement to a full set of level 60 choices. A number of them only pay off against Beasts, Demons, or Undead, so the best relic for a zone can differ from the best one for a raid.
