Greetings, seasoned deities! This update for those of you who’ve already done it all – built a temple and an ark, caught all pairs, crafted a boss, wrote a book, collected souls, and even opened shops. Congratulations, your divine boredom has ended.

Discovering Relics
While sitting in their shops and peddling wares, heroes have stumbled upon mysterious artifacts from the pre-game era. These relics emit relic radiation that affects a hero in peculiar ways.

Now you can equip these oddities in the brand new 8th equipment slot, giving your hero wonderfully bizarre effects. For example, the Flattery relic makes heroes address you with flowery eloquence, the Royalties one generates gold from every diary entry, the Overtime one extends deadlines for side jobs… Six relic types are here for you to experiment, with more to come.

Each effect varies in strength and lasts only a day or two – though nothing stops you from equipping relics purely for aesthetic reasons. But first, relics must be examined: check a new “Relics” button under the Shop to observe the process and eventually equip nice ones.

Collecting Relics
Since relics prove so sacred and valuable, every hero-trader has simultaneously reached the same brilliant conclusion: collect more! They’re starting to fill Reliquaries — specialized god-approved containers holding up to 3000 relics each. Because what’s the point of having mystical artifacts if you can’t hoard them obsessively for your deity?

This becomes your hero’s next obsession, an epic goal lasting a year or two. A special new achievement marks this collecting frenzy, proving your hero’s commitment is more serious than their usual attention span. It also gives you, their deity, that satisfying long-term project feeling and something new to look forward to.

Heroes get relics through multiple ways:

1. Trading: every day or two your hero works the shop counter, bartering junk for relics. No divine intervention required, though blessing speeds things up by roughly 25% (if you already have an active blessing, it will autoswitch from souls to relics).
2. Side Jobs: help your champion with contracts to earn relic rewards. The usual rules apply – finish within 24 hours for better payouts.
3. Sea Exploration: Coming in next updates, along with a new relic-related pantheon. Stay tuned!

As always, you control your level of involvement: if you’re in no rush, your hero will gradually collect everything all by themself. Play at your own pace and enjoy the journey.
