Overview
- Embark released the update on June 16 that activated the Forgotten Relics event and the Converging Paths project, both available through July 27.
- Forgotten Relics progression is Merit-based, with Merits earned mainly from match XP and by looting and extracting nine new trinket items that have fixed Merit values.
- Trinkets commonly spawn in Residential and Commercial areas—PC Gamer highlights Grandioso Apartments, Santa Maria Houses, Buried City Plazas—and can appear in chimneys during Bird City events.
- The Forgotten Relics track has 21 tiered rewards requiring 3,150 Merits to unlock everything, while Converging Paths runs six stages that ask players to donate those same trinkets in return for stage-specific rewards like mines, traps, augments, blueprints, and Raider Tokens.
- Embark frames these activities as short-term content to keep players engaged between major updates, and guides recommend XP-heavy play (for example Night Raids) plus focused trinket runs to complete both the event and the project efficiently.
