Good work! I suspected it was Bach, but I couldn't identify the piece.

I played Wicked Relics for the first time last night. Excellent mission! I thoroughly enjoyed figuring out the bonus objectives. When I found the letter & jewelry box, I was happy I got to help poor Clarissa. I loved the flower DewDrop collection. The ShadowJack was well worth the effort to get there & back though I was hoping not to have to retrace my steps!! I played Apprentice and missed some loot & secrets so I'll be playing through again on Journeyman tonight. This is a memorable FM and lots of fun. I am looking forward to replaying it. :cool:

I just played this one last night after seeing that pavlovscat had bumped the thread. Great mission! Definitely worth your time, if you're looking for something to play.

so i played the mission where you find all the dewdrops and i found the shadow jack i had no idea about this weapon and i think it the best weapon ever in thief and here's why

1. when you get close to any item in game if there is a switch it will be a different color then anything else on it=you will be able to find all switches/etc with no problem

2. cast you in pure shadow you wont be seen in the brightest of light,yes they can hear you but with out being seen easy to get behind then and knock them out

one small downside is if you pick up a body the shadow jack will not work until you re-drop body so be sure to think about when you knock people out and decide to carry them,so not to be seen by fellow enemy npc's or mech camera's/etc

was that the only mission with the shadow jack?

I'm going through all the missions released in the last decade, having taken a 10-year break from Thief. This is a great one. Very enjoyable. Thanks for the hard work to put it together!

After much use of the forum, and Tannar's excellent lootlist I've just played and completed this mission, more than 10 years after its release. As a relative newbie to FM missions I think I've completed all the tasks but after so many pleasant (and devilish) surprises, who knows? It's engaging, intelligent, funny and all the things everybody has said. Lots of personal touches. A pang of guilt set early on when I knocked out the Nice Old Cook. The author was playing with me. Who'd have thought I'd get so engrossed looking for dolls or a necklace? The game's mischievous charm is a trap in itself. Having blackjacked Clarissa (and everyone else) I felt obliged to return the careless lady to her room along with all her lost jewellery.

Reading on the forum that someone had managed to get on the roof, after many attempts I did it, but it was a long way from LarryG's Special Dewdrop. Making my way there, I was thinking it can't be the correct route (being on the edge of the game's world, so to speak), when Garrett suddenly said “Good thing I'm not afraid of heights” and I felt much encouraged, as if the author, across the years, was looking over my shoulder saying "Keep going". Later by chance I found that Dewdrop was special, so possibly there are still surprises I haven't discovered. It's an endearing mission and I didn't want to leave. After playing as Apprentice and Master and then going back to sort out all those scary things I'd run from, I went round turning on all the lights and record player, to appreciate the detail. Thank you very much kfort (and your sister) and all those people in the credits. Looking up their names and reading forum discussions made me appreciate the work that goes into the basic FM building blocks. Brilliant stuff. I reckon if I break out those two emergency water arrows I can clean up some of the blood to help the Hard-working Maid. :)

What a lovely review and I'm reminded that this was probably one of the most fun tests I've ever done. A complete blast. Along with some others, Katy is right up there with the authors I wish would come back and make another mission.

I´ve just finished this FM for the first time aswell and I gotta say its really really good. Mansion missions just the way I enjoy it. And those many optional objectives are a nice bonus to this. 10/10.
Definitely gonna replay again! :)

Looking at the lootlist, the only way I manage to complete most games :D
(https://www.thiefmissions.com/lootlists/WickedRelics.html)
it says that both gears are in the Reliquary at two different places

If you're still stuck, then more precisely
Top Floor Reliquary Watchpost, on guard
and
Top Floor Reliquary North Guardroom - Bronze Gear on sleeping guard
