noob question regarding relics

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion

At the bottom of each relic I see a “Completion Bonus”. When I equip relics, I don’t see any change to anything relevant on my character stats, so I’m assuming one of two things:

  1. These bonuses are “hidden”, meaning they won’t show up on the character stats page, but still have an effect

or

  1. There’s something I need to do with the relic to “complete” it, at which point the completion bonus is activated. Maybe a very specific component or augment?

As google searching only found discussions about which completion bonuses were possible rolls, but no explanations on how they work, I’m turning to the forum community for a little help. Thanks in advance.

https://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items will tell you all of the completion bonuses possible for any given relic. It’s a random bonus you get for crafting it.

Completion Bonus is not a thing itself, it’s a header to describe where the bonuses below it came from. For example, at the bottom of the Rampage relic I’m looking at now, it says:

Completion Bonus
+4% Cunning
+3% Spirit

That just means that those bonuses were randomly rolled out of the possible completion bonuses for that relic. If I crafted the same relic again, I’d probably get a different completion bonus.
