2828 Save all Large Lost Relics for appraisal. The rare-tool drop chance (such as Fishing Rods) is highest on Large relics.Appraisal is free and has no daily limit. Bring stacks of relics to Professor Tangrowth at once to save travel time.Store appraised relics you plan to trade to Gimmighoul rather than crafting or using their contents immediately. Some recipes only work with the raw appraised relic, not the item inside.Sunday has a higher drop rate for Lost Relic glow spots across all regions. Use Sundays to stockpile relics for mass appraisal on other days.
