Choir Resonance Fork
epic Flagship Artifact
A two-pronged tuning instrument recovered from the dispersed mass of the Hollow Choir. Held to the ear it produces no sound, yet crew within arm's reach report a single sustained note they cannot stop hearing. Weapons-techs use it to calibrate void-frequency emitters; it locks onto a collapsed-space resonance instantly and never drifts.

- +10% Weapon Calibration Speed
Set bonus3 pieces
+15% Mythic Boss Contribution Score
Verdict-Bound: Relics taken from the Verdict Tier resonate with the guardians' telemetry, increasing your measured contribution in mythic raids.

Which Artifact Should You Equip?
Choir Resonance Fork is the higher-rarity relic, so it carries the stronger ceiling for the Flagship slot and is the long-term target. That said, if you are already running the Verdict Tier set, the set bonus can outweigh raw rarity — favour the artifact that completes a set you already own.
