The Chalice of Opulence

"An auspicious gift from Emperor Calus to you, his favorite Guardian. May you drink deep from your chalice and grow fat with strength."

— Item description

The Chalice of Opulence was an artifact available in Season of Opulence.

Overview

The Chalice of Opulence was originally a Psion religious symbol, which Emperor Calus adopted as an item of status and power for his Shadows. The Young Wolf was granted a damaged Chalice of Opulence by Calus via Werner 99-40 as part of his bid to convince the Young Wolf to become his Shadow of Earth. The Young Wolf repaired the Chalice and used it in the Menagerie to claim treasure and gifts from Calus.

Gameplay

Chalice

The Chalice of Opulence allows players to modify the rewards that they will earn from the final chest of the Menagerie, using different set combinations of Runes on their Chalice to attune to the type of loot they can acquire at the end of a completed run. The Chalice itself can be upgraded throughout the season, using a new currency called Imperials to unlock additional rune slots for the Chalice, increase Rune rewards from activities, and even unlock more rewards through the Menagerie. Players can earn Imperials through weekly bounties, certain Triumphs, special consumables, and certain chalice upgrades.

Players will earn Runes by completing weekly bounties, opening weekly chests on the new Nessus Barge, and using consumables through other activities. The gear earned will depend on the arrangement of the various Runes in the Chalice.
