How do I get Dragon Relics in Dragonfire?

Relics are the resource that hatches a dragon and then raises its Star Rank. You get them several ways:

• Hatchery Chests: the main source. You open them with keys (Dragonbone, Dragonglass, Dragonfire) or with gold. Each chest gives 3 guaranteed rewards.
• The Conqueror's Chest (premium): Epic/Legendary Relics only.
• Targeted event chests (e.g. the Caraxes Chest, which boosts Caraxes and Zivern Relics).
• The Market: buy a specific dragon's Relics with Relic Shards (e.g. Syrax x2 = 4,500 shards).

Good to know: 15 Relics of the same dragon = an immediate hatch, and any surplus converts into shards. Target one dragon at a time so you cross the thresholds fast.
