Ancient Relic

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.

The Ancient Relic is a collectible and a requirement to have in your inventory to be able to attract the Relic Hunter Mouse. If you successfully catch the Relic Hunter Mouse, they are known to drop the Treasure Map Scroll Case as loot, as well as the Living Garden Scroll Case for hunters that are Baron/Baroness and above. Upon catching the Relic Hunter Mouse, one Ancient Relic is consumed, and removed from your inventory.
