Recovering historical relics

[hostile]

Sometimes you get the quest of recovering some historical relic in a certain location, whats the best way to discover the location ?.

In very rare cases i got a dual quest: discover X historical site + recover Y relic in X location.

[CHOO CHOO]

You will usually get the location along with the quest.

Check your journal, or look for unusual locations on the world map.
You can also press ALT while on the world map, it will mark any locations noted in your journal with a blue star.

I often get the quest to recover the relic (by looking at art and engravings) without also learning the location; when that happens, it seems you just have to wait until you also learn the location of that place, in the same manner. Or just stumble upon the place at random. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there's much you can do with the first bit of information until you learn the second.

You can also learn a historical location without learning about an artifact, of course, but in my experience there's always an artifact in there anyway. Once I got the quest to recover an artifact I had already found at random, and it didn't complete even when I dropped it and picked it back up. The reward of XP is usually pretty negligible by the time you can safely get them, so no big deal.

Yeah i double checked, im 100% sure that i only have the quest of recovering Y relic y X site, also checked the map and the journal.

Oh well, just keep checking out engravings, paintings, statues and secrets then.

Skill that let you discocer secrets when you rife through trash is quite good for that.

When I got a quest to discover an artifact I already had, all I had to do was look at the artifact again and I got the XP for it.

Coincidence, just discovered some "acient ruins" and Tadá! the historic relic was inside, cant see the name because this character just died but it was some nice longsword with a nice 1d10 +2 Strength and +100 rep with crustaceans

Yeah, the decipher Trash skill is amazing for finding artifacts, or even just legendary merchants, and other things.
Mind you, unless they're like Legendary Putus Templar, they're probably not going to sell amazing stuff. :)
I play a lot of True Men, so sue me.

I'm fairly convinced you should just forget about spending time specifically looking for them.


If you already cleaned up the 4 sultan dungeon and still not found all the relic from your independant quest there is not much to do bside exploring random ruins a pray to the RNG god.

Also, last update state that it "Fixed a rare issue causing objects generated during world generation to not properly spawn in game." ==> I read that as "now the relic you're suposed to find are actually garantee to exist somewhere in the game".


For Ptoh sake, till couple of updates ago you weren't even always able to find all the historical sites with shrine/painting/angraving and such. You had to stumble upon them.


I remember this character (lvl 45) with mumble mouth and trash divination who was passing time trying to catch up with the revelation of those two effect.

By the time I got to one ruins and clean it couple more were being revealed trought mumble mouth/divinaiton.

Point is, when this guys became unplayable due to update, I had cleaned the 4 sultan dungeon and like 30 other ruins and I still had 4 quest to find stuff that I'm sure wasn't even there to begin with.


Of course, as they sometime spawn on the floor it is also possible that it got eaten by a passing Beetlebum
Or Seeing as they sometime drop from random monster you may just have missed it while exploring.

[davidb11]

At least killing the Beetlebum gives you the items it eats back, so there's that.
And if you're a high enough level, it's like squishing an ant. :P

[Dr.Desty Nova]

True, they regularly drop whole chest (the actual chest ^^) of stuff.

That being said, not sure it's always the case tough. It's bound to have a time limit of some sort.

[davidb11]

IIRC, I don't think there is a limit at all.
It's why when you see them eat things you should kill them if it's in an important enough area.
