Relic – How to Gain More or Explore Faster (with Verification Report)
How to increase the speed of exploration, increase the amount gathered, and get more resources and items in a single exploration.
This is a summary of the results of various tests.
. 1. Go to High-Level Relic
. 2. Research
. Generals, Skills, & Items have No Effect
. Basic setting
. Test 1 – Basic survey
. Test 2 – Research differences are more significant
. Test 3 – With gathering speed item
. Test 4 – Different levels of relics
How to increase the amount gatherd per hour
There are only two ways.
1. Go to High-Level Relic
2. Research
1. Go to High-Level Relic
The higher level relics are, the faster you can explore them.
Therefore, it is basically better to go only to “Mysterious Relics”.
Example
- Mysterious Relics – 390/5s per player
- Lv5 Relics – 300/5s per player
- Lv4 Relics – 270/5s per player
Note – Having many players in one relic will only shorten the time it takes to get through all of the relics, but will not increase the speed of exploration per player.
2. Research
The following research will give you a boost in the amount of relics gathered. (After gathering, a percentage of the amount gathered will be added to your total.)
- Alliance > Mysterious Relic Exploration – Max +20%
- Alliance > Adv Mysterious Relic Exploration – Max +20%
Relics Gathering Amount Boost Specifications
The boost will be applied to everything you gather (below).
- Resources
- Fragments
- Hammers
- Items other than the above
- The “total number” of items increases. The number of each item of all types obtained does not increase equally. For example, with a +20% boost, “10 types x 1 item” may become “12 types x 1 item”, or 10 types may remain the same and any number of items may increase to a total of 12.
This can be seen by comparing the list of “Acquired Rewards” just before leaving the relics with the gathering report after leaving the relics.
The reports after gathering are of course boosted,
but the list of “Acquired Rewards” that can be seen in the list of relics is not boosted.
List of Acquired Rewards that can be checked while gathering.
Generals, Skills, & Items have No Effect
No matter which general you use, the amount gathered per hour will remain the same.
The following also have no effect.
- General Level
- Skill
- Troop Type, Troop Level
- General’s Equipment
- Monarch Gear
- Items
- Power
- etc.
In other words, improving the following will not increase the amount gathered per hour.
- Troop load
- Resource Gathering Speed
- Extra Resources from gathering (Amount Boost)
Examples of ineffectiveness
- Troop load
- Exploring with a general who has the troop load skill (such as Amir Timur or Attila etc.)
- Equip the general with a troop load increase buff.
- Explore with high-level siege machines (= high troop load).
- Resource Gathering Speed
- Explore with a general who has the Gathering Speed skill.
- Explore with a general who has high politics.
- Level up, Enhance, and Cultivate generals to increase their politics.
- Equip Monarch Gear with a gathering speed crystal.
- Use items that increase resource gathering speed.
- Equip a general with a resource gathering speed boost buff.
- Extra Resources from gathering (Amount Boost)
- Explore with a general that has a resource gathering amount boost skill (such as Queen Jindeok or Constance I etc).
- Equip a general with a resource gathering amount boost buff.
- etc.
Addendum – Increasing “troop load” with a skill increases the time to gather on the troop selection screen before departure, but this is a glitch.
In reality, only the time without the “troop load” skill can be gathered.
Therefore, there is no point in sending Attila or Amir Timur, who have the troop load skill, to the relics.
Reference – Verification Results
I explored the relics for the same amount of time with two generals with very different abilities.
Basic setting
Account A
- General
- Level 31 / Politics 1255 / Equipment – Champion Set 4 + Transcendent Set 2
- Resource Gathering Speed + 180.50%.
- Resource Gathering Amount Boost +10%
- Troop Load +15%
- Research
- Mysterious Relic Exploration +0
Test 1 – Basic survey
Explored the mysterious relic for 10 hours.

Research Difference
- Account A – Mysterious Relic Exploration +5. 5%.
- Account B – Mysterious Relic Exploration +0
Result 1-1) List of Acquired Rewards during Exploring (after 8 hours)
Account A / Account B
Account A subtotal
- Resources – 2261.6K total
- Fragments – 19
- Hammers – 19
- Other items – 19 total
Account B Subtotal
- Resources – 2262.8K total
- Fragments – 19
- Hammers – 19
- Other items – 19 total
Subtotals for Account A and B are almost identical.
* The difference of a few seconds in the exploration time seems to have caused a slight error in the amount of resources.
Result 1-2) Result report after exploration (After 10 hours)
Account A / Account B
Account A subtotal
- Resources – 2962.9K total
- Fragments – 24
- Hammers – 24
- Other items – 24 total
Account B Subtotal
- Resources – 2808.5K total
- Fragments – 23
- Hammers – 23
- Other items – 23 total
Account A has 5.5% more than Account B. (Number of items is rounded down to the nearest whole number.)
Therefore, we can see the following.
- The only difference between the results of A and B is due to research.
- General level, politics, skills, and equipment are irrelevant.
- No gathering amount boost has been applied to the list of “Acquired Rewards” during exploring.
Test 2 – Research differences are more significant
Explored the mysterious relic for 8 hours.
Research Difference
- Account A – Mysterious Relic Exploration +20%
- Account B – Mysterious Relic Exploration +0%
Result Report
Account A / Account B
Account A subtotal
- Resources – 2717.3K total
- Fragments – 22
- Hammers – 22
- Other items – 22 total
Account B Subtotal
- Resources – Total 2263.6K
- Fragments – 19
- Hammers – 19
- Other items – 19 total
Account A’s subtotal is 20% higher than Account B’s. (The number of items is rounded down to the nearest whole number.)
Therefore, we can see the following.
- The only difference between the results of A and B is due to research.
- General level, politics, skills, and equipment are irrelevant.
Test 3 – With gathering speed item
(Account B in Test 2 did not use the gathering speed item.)
Explored the mysterious relics for 8 hours.
Result Report
Account B
Account B Subtotal
- Resources – 2258.5K total
- Fragments – 19
- Hammers – 19
- Other items – 19 total
Almost identical to the subtotal value in Test 2.
* The difference of a few seconds in the exploration time is probably causing a slight error in the amount of resources.
Therefore, we know the following.
- Gathering speed-up items have no effect.
Test 4 – Different levels of relics
Explored Lv4 relic for 8 hours.
Result Report
Account B
Account B Subtotal
- Resources – 1570.3K total
- Fragments – 10
- Hammers – 10
- Other items – 16 total
For resources, it is about 70% compared to the value in test 3.
This is roughly in line with the ratio of exploration speed shown on the game screen.
– Mysterious Relics – 390/5s per player
– Lv4 Relics – 270/5s per player
For fragments and hammers, the value is about 52% of the Test 3 value.
For other items, it is about 84% of the Test 3 value.
Therefore, we can see the following.
- The gathering speed is faster in high-level relics.
