Relics
Black Desert Mobile Guide
Relics can be equipped to your character to give them various stat bonuses and increase the CP. These can be rented from specific NPCs (usually the one with authority) in major towns and cities in the game. You can easily find them in the List tab of your map with the corresponding relic icon. NPCs will only allow you to rent their relics once you’ve gained knowledge about their territory. This can be done by simply completing some main quests within the region.
Relic Grades
The stat boosts provided by a Relic will depend on its grade. Relics will also have a Branch Damage Boost, the amount of damage will vary depending on the grade of the Relic.| Grade | Relic | Stat Boosted |
|---|---|---|
| Rare | Dorthe | Attack |
| Rare | Millet | Defense |
| Rare | Herse | Attack + Defense |
| Unique | Berni | Attack |
| Unique | Kalas | Defense |
| Unique | Ronard | Attack + Defense |
| Epic | Nerte | Attack |
| Epic | Scarla | Defense |
| Epic | Encardin | Attack + Defense |
| Mythical | Any of the previous relic types* | Attack + Defense |
*Receive extra stat boost depending on the type of Relic. Basically think of all relics having a mythical version.
How to Rent Relics
Relics are rented by allotting Contribution points. Better quality relics give better bonuses but cost more Contribution Points. Since these are rented, you can return the relic you have equipped to get the same amount of contribution points back.
A character can only have one relic at a time. You can see it in your inventory slot, at the bottom of the accessories, as a category of its own.
How to Relics from the Shop
With the recent update of the game, you can now exchange Relic Fragments in the Pearl Shop (Pearl Shop > Add-ons > Relic). Keep exchanging fragments until the gauge reaches 100%. The quality of the relic you’ll obtain is random. If you’re lucky, you might even get a mythical grade. This is a much better option later on so you can use the Contribution Points to have more workers in your camp instead of allotting them for rental relics.
You can get fragments by clearing Ancient Ruins though you also have the option to purchase bundles of Relic Fragments using pearls or black pearls. (Once per day, per family) You can also obtain relic fragments from other limited sources like events or achievements.
Enhance Relics
Relics can also be enhanced but they have to be the SAME EXACT copy, including the branch it supports. For example, you can't enhance a Berni Relic: Aal using a Berni Relic: Serett. You can only enhance a relic up to +5.
