Honkai: Star Rail players have raised concerns about the game's relic system, deeming it unfulfilling and confining. The game features two main types of relics: Planar Ornaments and Cavern Relics. Planar Ornaments, slotted in the Planar Sphere and Link Rope, provide additional gear and rare stats, while Cavern Relics enhance crucial character stats like HP and ATK with a powerful 4-piece effect.
Both relic variants play a pivotal role in character development within Honkai: Star Rail, boasting varying rarities that impact the stat bonuses they offer. Cavern Relics stand out by providing dual effects that enhance specific attributes of the character. For instance, Passerby of Wandering Cloud boosts max HP and skill point regeneration, while Musketeer of Wild Wheat increases ATK and SPD by a percentage.
Disgruntled Honkai: Star Rail players took to Reddit to express their dissatisfaction with the relic system, highlighting instances where valuable relic pieces are wasted. Swift311 mentioned completing a Planar Ornament event with triple rewards but only obtaining two useful pieces, calling for the option to customize relic stats. DailyMilo shared their disappointment in not acquiring any useful relics despite numerous attempts.
Many players believe that a revamp of Honkai: Star Rail's relic system is necessary due to its lack of rewards and overly restrictive nature. Additionally, there are requests for enhancing the functionality of Self-Modeling Resins, such as using them for relic reforging.
Where to Obtain Relics in Honkai: Star Rail?
The Cavern of Corrosion and Simulated Universe stand as the primary sources for farming relics in Honkai: Star Rail, presenting formidable challenges in endgame modes filled with diverse enemies. These modes unlock as players progress through the game's main storyline.
In recent Honkai: Star Rail leaks, two upcoming relic sets have been disclosed for version 2.2. One set boosts Crit DMG for the wearer, while the other enhances all DMG dealt for a few turns. Notably, these sets fall under Cavern Relics and can be acquired from the Cavern of Corrosion, expected to debut in the initial phase of version 2.2 on May 8.
