Holy Grail

Effects

There are five different ones in the game - 5 unique holy grails. One serves for each mage color. So you only have use for one of the grails.

• The dull looking copper chalice: Ascendant
• Shimmering golden chalice : Verdant
• The blood stained golden chalice : Eradication
• The human skull : Nether
• Gemstudded silver chalice : Phantasm

• If you have the right one for your color, it will resurrect up to 15% of dead units, as long as at least one unit of the stack survives the battle.
• Hidden Upkeep: it reduces your mana production by 1000 mp on Arch, and 500 on ultimate servers.
• If you have another color's grail, you will not gain any benefit, but still suffer the hidden mana upkeep.

Obtaining a Grail

• When you use a Blood Stained Map you have a good (1/5 ??) chance to obtain a random grail. The previous owner will lose it, but will not know who stole it.
• Grails are often for sale in the market, so check often or set a preorder. Make sure to order the correct one for your color. Typical sale price is between 3M-50M, depending on server, color, and current demand.
• Holy Grails can also be obtained from Treasure Maps, Treasure Chests, and Science Most Favored, with the same chance as any other unique.
• Only one copy of each grail normally exists in the game. But when one is sold on the Black Market, it can then happen that a temporary duplicate gets created through a Blood Stained Map. When the Black Market one is sold, and re-enters the game, the second one will disappear.
