Leveling relics
As the level of each item increases, the bonus that artifacts give to their wearer also increases. This is done with the help of other relics, special materials (lost essences, crystals and gold particles, as well as lost dust of light), which are mined in the Forgotten Hall or obtained by dismantling other relics in the inventory.
The highest level to which a relic can be upgraded depends on its rarity.

| 2 stars | 6 |
| 3 stars | 9 |
| 4 stars | 12 |
| 5 stars | 15 |
Where to find relics
Cave of Corrosion
The main source of getting Cave Relics. The quantity and quality of rewards received depends on the difficulty of the dungeon. To receive a reward, you will have to spend 40 units of development energy.
Virtual Universe
Planar decorations are already mined here. They start to drop after completing world 3 challenges and above. To get artifacts you need 40 energy or one immersive amplifier.
Exploring the world
Some artifacts can be found in chests and souvenir shops scattered around the world, as well as received for completing tasks from the Interastral World Guide (see the Briefing tab).
Story Walkthrough
Completing some missions and progressing to a new level of exploration can sometimes reward players with relics.
Relic synthesis: how to create artifacts
After mastering level 40, you will be able to craft items from any set. To create an artifact, you need 100 particles, which can be obtained after parsing 10 artifacts. Moreover, you can choose which item you want to create from the required set.
You should also pay attention to such a resource as Self-Modeling Resin, which can be obtained upon reaching level 40 of the Battle Pass. With it, you can set the main characteristics of the created relic. As a result, only additional stats of the new item will be randomly selected during synthesis.
