We're pleased to bring you some updates to how the relics system functions. We hope that these changes shall make things more engaging and create more of an opportunity cost when it comes to employing relics in PVP engagements:

* When lifegiver fires due to death against another player, it will no longer protect other relics from being claimed. It shall still protect itself.

* All members of The Dauntless will now be alerted when someone claims a relic through killing another player.

* If you lose a relic to another player, you will now be unable to reclaim that relic for an hour. Attempting to do so will forceably reset it. (Note: you will not be able to claim them from mobs or the ground, either.)

* Players under level 50 may no longer pick up relics from the ground. They may still gain them through killing relic holders.

We'll be monitoring these changes over the coming days to ensure that everything is in a good place.
