Crafting is combining Relic Materials into usable weapons, armor, or gear.
The higher the tier of the item, the more material is required.
Each recipe needs a Base Frame (normal weapon/armor) plus Relic Materials.
Riftstone – Base reinforcement for all gear.
Riftglass – Accuracy boosters, optics, or clean strikes.
Harmonic Fulgurites – Charge channels; needed for higher-tier weapons.
Pressure Pearls – Stability; used in powered weapons and armor.
Exhalant Binders – Adhesive or coating to lock relics in place.
Carapace Plates & Scales – Armor plating, shields, helmets.
Resonant Bones – Shock absorption in armor and grips.
Tendon Cords & Sinew – Weapon strings, elastic fittings, flexible armor joints.
Thermal Nodes / Cryo Sacs – Elemental heat or cold effects in gear.
Photic Eyes & Photophores – Light-emitting lenses, glowing sights.
Corrosive Glands – Acidic edges or armor etching.
Static Lattices – Electric charge; powered weapon shots.
Echo Cores – Rare frequency boosters; unlocks elite upgrades.
Gyro Stones – Stabilization; steadies aim and balance.
Ichor – Common binder for all relic crafting.
Morphic Gel – Padding, seals, flexible joints.
Dust Spores – Smoke or concealment charges in weapons.
Phase Teeth (Restricted) – Advanced cutting edges.
Gloom Marrow (Restricted) – Stealth armor lining.
Rim Seeds (Restricted) – High-tier Gate-charged cores.
Elemental Materia – Raw elemental boosts.
Relic-Cells – Power source for advanced gear.
Seal Keys – Not normal gear; used only for KHATIM work.
Choose a Base Frame (sword, gun, armor, shield, etc.).
Add Riftstone (always required for strength).
Add Function Materials depending on desired effect:
Extra Damage → add Static Lattice, Thermal Node, Cryo Sac, or Corrosive Gland.
Improved Defense → add Carapace Plates, Resonant Bone, or Morphic Gel.
Utility/Support → add Gyro Stone, Photic Eye, Dust Spores, etc.
Seal with Binder (Ichor + Exhalant Binder).
Stabilize with Pressure Pearl or Relic-Cell for higher tiers.
Requirements: Riftstone + Ichor/Binder + 1–2 Materials.
Scope: Entry-level relic weapons and armor. Safe, simple effects.
Weapon Effects:
Elemental Strike → add one elemental organ:
Thermal Node = fire damage.
Cryo Sac = cold damage.
Static Lattice = lightning damage.
Corrosive Gland = acid damage.
Accuracy Boost → Riftglass: advantage on ranged attack rolls while prone.
Light Source → Photic Eye/Photophores: weapon glows, producing bright light out to 30 ft and dim light out to 60 ft.
Armor Effects:
Reinforced Plating → Carapace Plates: +1 AC.
Shock Absorb → Resonant Bones: resistance to thunder damage.
Flexible Padding → Morphic Gel: falling damage is reduced by 10.
Requirements: Riftstone + Ichor/Binder + 3–4 Materials.
Scope: Stronger protection or damage; multiple small bonuses stack.
Weapon Effects:
Dual Element Channeling → Add two different elemental organs. Example: Thermal Node + Cryo Sac = alternating fire/cold damage.
Charged Strikes → Static Lattice + Riftglass: attacks deal lightning damage and ignore cover from shields.
Piercing Acid Edge → Corrosive Gland + Carapace Plate chips: attacks deal corrosive damage and the weapon has +1 to hit.
Stabilized Shot → Gyro Stone + Riftglass: Weapon gains +1 to hit and attacks made while prone or while are made with advantage.
Armor Effects:
Layered Plating → Carapace Plates + Resonant Bones: +2 AC.
Element Resistance → Add 1–2 elemental organs for resistance to that damage type.
Utility Layering → Photic Eye panel: armor glows softly, producing a bright light out to 30 ft and dim light out to 60 ft.
Balance Assist → Gyro Stone in boots/helmet: immune to forced movement from pushes/pulls.
Requirements: Riftstone + Ichor/Binder + 5–6 Materials + Pressure Pearl or Relic-Cell for stabilization.
Scope: Multi-effect relic gear. Each item can have 2–3 strong abilities.
Weapon Effects:
Elemental Burst → 2+ elemental organs + Pressure Pearl: once per short rest, weapon deals AOE damage of combined types.
Precision Beam → Riftglass + Photic Eye + Relic-Cell: weapon fires a light/energy beam that ignores normal cover.
Echo-Linked Weapon → Echo Core + Harmonic Fulgurite: deals 2d10 bonus damage to Break monsters.
Corrosion Channel → Corrosive Gland + Static Lattice: weapon corrodes armor, lowering AC of target on hit.
Armor Effects:
Elemental Immunity (Minor) → 2+ organs + Pressure Pearl: resistance upgraded to immunity against one damage type for a short duration each day.
Self-Heating or Cooling Suit → Thermal Node or Cryo Sac + Relic-Cell: wearer ignores extreme hot or cold environments.
Balance & Motion Stabilizer → Gyro Stone + Riftglass: no penalties from rough terrain, the wearer cannot be knocked prone.
Adaptive Dampening → Resonant Bone + Morphic Gel + Pressure Pearl: resistance to both thunder and bludgeoning damage.
Requirements: Riftstone + Ichor/Binder + 6+ Materials including at least one Restricted Relic (Phase Teeth, Gloom Marrow, Rim Seeds, Elemental Materia). Must stabilize with Relic-Cell or Pressure Pearl.
Scope: Extremely powerful but often unstable.
Weapon Effects:
Phase Edge → Phase Teeth: attacks ignore most non-magical armor and barriers.
Stealth Cutter → Phase Teeth + Gloom Marrow: silent weapon, attacks produce no sound/light.
Energy Overload → Rim Seed + Elemental Materia + Relic-Cell: on hit, weapon discharges massive elemental blast (once per day).
Frequency Rupture → Echo Core + Rim Seed: on hit, creates shockwave that damages multiple enemies nearby (1d10 Thunder AoE).
Armor Effects:
Shadow Shroud → Gloom Marrow + Morphic Gel: grants invisibility in darkness.
Energy Buffer → Rim Seed + Pressure Pearl: reduces incoming elemental damage by half.
Adaptive Element Suit → Elemental Materia + Relic-Cell: wearer resists multiple damage types (choose 2–3).
Frequency Ward → Echo Core + Harmonic Fulgurite: passive aura that disrupts weaker monsters nearby. Minions have disadvantage on attacking the wearer.
Basic Relic Sword (Tier 1):
Base Sword + Riftstone + Static Lattice → Weapon deals +1d6 lightning damage.
Carapace Plate Armor (Tier 2):
Base Armor + Riftstone + Carapace Plates + Resonant Bones + Ichor → Higher AC and reduced shock/sonic damage.
Cryo-Charged Rifle (Tier 3):
Base Rifle + Riftstone + Cryo Sac + Riftglass + Pressure Pearl + Relic-Cell → Deals cold damage and slows targets.
Void-Edge Blade (Tier 4):
Base Blade + Riftstone + Phase Teeth + Gloom Marrow + Rim Seed + Ichor + Pressure Pearl → Ignores most armor but slowly corrupts the wielder.
Base Frames are the standard weapons and armors used before relic materials are added. They set the base damage, armor class, and properties. Relic crafting then upgrades them with effects, resistances, or damage types.

Base Frames are always required. Without them, relics can’t bind properly.
Firearms scale naturally with ammo; relics replace normal damage with elemental/energy effects.
Armor gains resistances or boosts (thermal resistance, stealth coating, shock absorption).
Restricted Frames (exo-armor, drone rigs, heavy launchers) often require Relic-Cells or rare materials to operate.
