Relic Upgrades - It would be super nice of Jagex to give us one or two extra Relic slots when achieving 99 and 120 Archaeology so we could actually feel somewhat OP again and try out different Relic combinations, I thought it was such a cool idea at first and it still is but it could be so much better and I was hoping that would be the case but we are super limited to options. I feel like people rarely change the Relics they have and if they do it's momentarily, a greater variety of Relics would be beneficial to the overall Relic system.

Ring Relics - At the very least we can all agree that Ring Relics should be permanent, meaning once you turn your Ring into a Relic, it becomes a Permanent Passive effect viewable via the left side of the Relic Powers screen. Because in every instance where you turn your Ring into a Relic, it becomes an untradeable and it takes up an entire Relic spot rendering many good Relics useless, LOTD Relic is the only Relic I have never changed despite wanting to try out new combinations, this is because the benefit is too great, in the case of LOTD it costs a whopping 80m to do this without even providing you the previous benefit of teleports to several locations.

Therefore I suggest that Ring Relics specifically be given their own separate Relic Category which is upgradeable by using the current system of turning in Hands of Glory (All Versions) but using this method would grant you an additional boost (Or not depending on your fancy) which would be the Permanent Passive effect, and this would be effective for each ring turned in meaning if you have every Hand of Glory upgrade up to and including HSR, it would net you a Permanent Passive effect of +5% increase to rare loot tables, with LOTD it would be +4%, with Fortune +3%, with Wealth +2% and Luck +1%, this would provide great benefit to the Relic system overall and also free up an extra slot in the main category, I still think two extra Relic slots are needed in order to maximize ---

--- the potential of Archaeology and Relics as a whole, this would not only provide players with options which is very much needed, it would also provide Maxed players with a sense of reward for achieving milestones such as 99 and 120, right now it feels like Max players are struggling and I think people who have worked their butts off to achieve 99s and 120s in multiple skills deserve to be rewarded a little more and be a little over powered, you shouldn't still be struggling after putting in years of work, that doesn't make sense, and it's not like I'm asking for a lot, I'm just asking to maybe not struggle so much all the time, especially being a Maxed out player who put in more work than 99% of the player base.

I'm not saying Archaeology is a hard Skill to 120, but what I am saying is that there are several other Relics that are very hard to obtain and never get a chance, Relics like Conservation of Energy, Fury of the Small, Heightened Senses, Persistent Rage and Shadows Grace, which are arguably far superior than the LOTD Relic but they never get a chance due to the fact that nobody is going to neglect a Relic they spent 80m GP on, you can tell me to just use the ring instead, but then I'd have to rely on Ring swapping, I would then refer to the Ring of Vigour and how it became a Permanent Passive effect specifically because Ring swapping became excessive. I would argue that losing an 80m ring and being told to then buy another 80m ring and wear that to free up my Relic spot, all so that I can try other combinations of Relics, is a little excessive, not to mention I would have to master the art of Ring swapping.

Give the Hands of Glory their own section in the Relic Powers tab, do or don't make them Permanent Passive effects, but if you don't then the previous Relics become a waste of money and time, especially if you end up adding HSR to that list, but at least give them their own section to free up our main Relic slot please for the love of God.

I'm a little on the fence for this one - on the one hand, more slots would be nice, but then again, it would also become real overpowered, real fast... perhaps as a compromise, it would be more slots for the same amount of energy, so you could have a few big perks, or lots of small ones? Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;
Do you think I should get off the tracks?
