Unleash the power
Standard items can ascend to legendary status through renaming in an anvil. With a certain degree of luck, the chosen name is "accepted," granting the item unique attributes. The chance of success depends on the number of levels spent when renaming.
🌟 Potential Relic Properties
When transformed, items may gain one of the following attributes:
- Increased damage (swords, axes, bows).
- Boosted attack speed.
- Enhanced armor and armor toughness (armor pieces).
- Improved knockback resistance (armor).
- Unbreakability: item durability no longer decreases.
- Over-enchanting: enables enchantments beyond normal limits.
Once an item becomes a legendary or transcendent relic, it cannot be altered...
