Relic Effects

[HnRkLnXqZ.1870]

Sadly ANet did not bother to write detailed patch-notes about the relics and their new effects. As I need this myself, I just typed down every of the new sigils from the three relic chests every player gets. I know the wiki-authors already have an article to each of them. But there is no overview where I can compare all of them at once. I'm going to copy/paste the link to a couple of boards, feel free to do the same. As I typed them down manually, there is a risk that I made a typo. Here we go:

-

The relic-recipes are available at the crafting-profession vendors in the towns. However, I found two more relics which can be purchased, but happen to be excluded from the chest.

"Relic of Fireworks

None of my Engineer rifle skills have 20 second recharge times. Highest is 18 seconds I believe. None of the Power set are all that attractive or even functional for my Engineer.

Worse still, a lot of them don't even list how long the boons given are, like Chronomancer.
Yes, we could try to extrapolate the duration from their Rune iterations, but as some effects have been massively changed, that may not be very accurate either.

Thx, was looking for that one.

The ally line is confusing though.

edit: no replacement for the scholar rune bonus as it seems
