Understand How Artifact Abilities Changed

What Changed From Original Artifacts

Reliquified Artifacts keeps most items functioning as they originally did, but rebuilds a select few to match the Relics mod's playstyle. This means some artifacts now have cooldowns, require leveling to unlock full power, or work differently in combat.

Checking Your Item's New Mechanics

1. Open the Relics menu and select your artifact

2. Read the description carefully — it will explain any new activation methods or stat scaling

3. Test the ability in a safe location to understand cooldowns and effects

4. Level up the item to see if abilities improve or new effects unlock

Common Changes to Expect

Utility items like the Aqua-Dashers and Strider Shoes now integrate with the leveling system, potentially gaining enhanced effects at higher levels. Combat items may have adjusted damage or cooldown mechanics. Passive items like the Rooted Boots still provide their core benefits but now scale with your investment. Always check the full stat screen to see exactly how your artifact performs at its current level.
