When a relic levels up, a big announcement appears on screen. Even the humblest stone hoe can grow into a legend. Press R to choose what it will remember. And watch out: that cat is an Elite.
Each level offers three traits based on how you use the item. Bonuses in green, drawbacks in red. Pick a card, press 1, 2 or 3, or reroll with a Memory Shard. Your choice is final.
Description
⚔️ Relic Bonds
Your weapons, tools and armor remember you. Every item gets a rarity, gains experience as you use it, and at each level you pick one trait among three cards. No two players will ever own the same relic.

⭐ Rarities
Every weapon, tool and armor piece receives a rarity as soon as it appears: crafted, looted from a chest, dropped by a mob or bought from a villager. Dangerous structures give better odds, and Luck improves your rolls.
| Rarity | Levels | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| ☠ Cursed | 0 | −20% damage/protection, ×1.5 wear, one curse |
| ▪ Cracked | 1 | −10%, ×1.25 wear |
| ◆ Common | 2 | normal |
| ◆ Refined | 3 | +5% |
| ◆ Rare | 4 | +10% |
| ◆ Epic | 5 | +15% |
| ✦ Legendary | 6 | +20% |
| ✦ Mythic | 7 | +25% (only by upgrading) |
Number of levels = number of choices. A Rare relic will have 4 traits in its whole life.
📈 It learns how you play
Your relic gains XP by killing, mining, taking hits or fishing, and it remembers your playstyle: the creatures you hunt, day or night, ores, falls, crowds… The traits it offers adapt to the way you play.
🃏 Choose what it remembers
- When your relic levels up, a big animated announcement appears on screen (golden for an Ultimate level).
- Press R to open the card screen: three cards flip over, colored by category, showing NEW! or an upgrade I ➜ II.
- Your choice is final. You can reroll the cards for one Memory Shard.
- The tooltip shows the rarity, level, XP bar and every trait with its exact effect.

👹 Mob ranks
- Every creature from every mod can get a rank: Weakened, Normal, Hardened, Superior, Elite or Legendary, with more health and damage. The rank is shown above it.
- Ranks get stronger with distance, world days and difficulty.
- Passive mobs get ranks too, with smaller rewards. Cobblemon, NPCs and bosses are excluded by default.
- High-rank mobs drop Memory Shards and Bond Fragments. Bosses (Wither, Dragon, Warden, Elder Guardian) drop an Ancient Core.
🔨 The Bond Forge
Found in structure chests, or crafted with 3 Bond Fragments, 1 anvil and 5 obsidian.
- Purify a Cursed relic
