We're excited to present RELICS!
"Ancient artifacts that contain the power of Irumesa's legendary heroes and mythical beings. When equipped, they grant a set of abilities that represent a Class."
Check out the **Infographic**, the **LIVE w/ DAVE** Video in the post below and some additional Q&A!
Next, hop into the discussion thread to share your thoughts!

Q: Give me the tl;dr!
Relics can be equipped and allow class-switching based on your skill levels - such as Empyrean, Demonism, Spiritualism, etc.
Using spells would require skill level. Your spell which requires 30 combat would require 30 Empyrean, Demonism, Spiritualism, etc. instead.
Q: What would happen to my current characters?
After a future patch you would login with a relic equipped in the RELIC slot with the same class, abilities, and skill levels. Nothing would change unless you chose to make a change.
Q: I'm a level 30 Priest with 30 Empyrean - I could play some Dragon Knight if I wanted?"
Yes, you'd be able to equip a Dragon Knight, Crusader, or Paladin Relic and have access to their full kits due to your Empyrean level.
Q: Why do we have to get primordium to get classes when we can get them instantly by making a new character right now?
You can still make a new character! You have 10 character slots, after all. Primordium is an additional feature for those who want the flexibility without the needing to start over on a new character. This is just another path you may choose.
Q: Doesn't this dilute the class fantasy? Why can I be a demon worshipper and then a divine priest 1 hour later?
The player is just an adventurer within Irumesa, a seeker of knowledge rather than someone bound by a single path or allegiance. Relics grant the true power of each class. Your character isn’t defined by a single ideology or discipline, but by their pursuit of greater understanding and mastery over the various powers available to them.
Q: Won't everyone be forced to play the "meta" build under this system?
Players will still have to invest as much, or more time into progressing disciplines as they would without class-switching. Such a requirement from would exist in both class systems.
