Ancient Relic

From MHWiki

With the dust cleaned off, this jade and gold statue is indescribably beautiful. It represents an ancient period of time in mouse culture, where master sculptors might spend entire years perfecting a single curve of a single statue, chipping out the tiniest piece of jade and polishing for hours and hours and hours.
It's no surprise that the Relic Hunter Mouse is desperate to catch even a glimpse of these artifacts - they represent an incredible wealth of cultural and artistic knowledge.

Overview

The Ancient Relic is a collectible and a currency. It is required to attract Relic Hunter Mouse.
The Hunter's inventory of Ancient Relic can be viewed through the Treasure Map interface and in Inventory in the Special tab under Currency.
