Relic

A relic is an item, usually of great value, that can be found in a tomb. Sometimes Sims can find additional relics in tombs after mourning at a tombstone. Relics can also be bought and sold from the Relic Merchant in each exotic location. A relic can be "analyzed" to determine its age and worth.

After a relic is collected, the Sim can sell it, however, analyzing its exact worth may yield greater reward. Relics may be contemporary, old, antique, or ancient. Contemporary relics are worth less than originally estimated. Old relics are worth about the same amount. Antique and ancient relics, on the other hand, are worth more than expected.

There are 9 known Relic Collections. Chinese vases, Dangerous creatures, Dropa stones, Zodiac animals, Canopic jars, Gold figurines, Egyptian tombs, Chinese tombs and French tombs.

List of Common Relics
All common relics will be named for the civilization that produced them. Usually, Sims will find them in their respective countries (French relics in France, etc.), however, this is not always the case.

Fossilized Produce These relics are the least valuable that are commonly found. They look like stone versions of garden produce and can be displayed, but not eaten or planted. A fossilized tomato, for example, will look like a gray stone tomato.

Bowls These relics come in a variety of materials and can be either whole or broken. Materials from least to most valuable are: stone, copper, gold and red pottery.

Vases Like bowls, these relics are found in a variety of materials and either whole or broken. Materials from least to most valuable are: stone, copper, gold and red pottery. There are two styles of whole vases, those with smooth neck and subtle lip versus those with a fluted neck and flaring lip.

Statues In China and Egypt, a variety of common statue relics can be found. They come in many forms and materials. There are dog, dragon, and snake statues which can be made of stone and gold.
