RN, wondering where you got the information on the outcome from unwinding artifacts. When I look at the list I don't see the characteristics on some of the stuff you listed adding up to 450, but maybe I am missing something. Is 450 not still the relic threshhold?
An example is the Polar Bear Mask:
Night Sight is 100 pts
HP Regen 2 is 100 pts
SR 3 is 60 pts
(5)15: 10 pt increase worth 66pts
3
(8)21: 13 pt increase worth 86 pts
4
4
I calculate a total of 412, some 38 points shy of a relic.
Some more that I see are Night's Kiss, shield of invuln.
I appreciate the list, I definitely see some cheap artis that could be unwound for relics, but wanted to clarify to make sure I understand how its supposed to work.
