Relic Farming Efficiency Guide

Golden Rule: Good Enough > Perfect

Unlike Genshin Impact's Artifact system, Honkai: Star Rail has more forgiving RNG due to:

  • Planar Ornaments being only 2 pieces
  • Relic Synthesis/Crafting system
  • Fixed main stats on certain slots

When to Stop Farming

Acceptable Relic Criteria

  1. Correct Main Stat - Non-negotiable
  2. 2+ Useful Substats - CRIT/ATK%/SPD/Relevant stat
  3. No 3+ Dead Rolls - If all rolls into HP flat, replace

Quality Thresholds (5★ Relics)

Piece Priority Notes
Head (HP) Low Any with good subs works
Hands (ATK) Low Same as head
Body High Main stat is crucial
Feet High SPD vs ATK% matters
Sphere Medium Element/ATK%/HP%
Rope Medium Energy/ATK%/HP%

Relic Sets Priority by Role

DPS Characters

  1. Get 4pc set bonus first
  2. Farm correct main stats
  3. Then optimize substats

Support Characters

  • Often 2pc + 2pc is fine
  • Speed boots priority
  • Energy rope for burst supports

Cavern Farming Tips

  1. Use Double Drops - 2x Trailblaze Power for 2x rewards
  2. Save Immersifiers - Only use on good caverns
  3. Check Both Sets - Most caverns have 2 useful sets
  4. Weekly Simulated Universe - Free relics from rewards

Planar Ornament Tips

  • Simulated Universe gives 1 set per world
  • Divergent Universe for more targeted farming
  • Ornament Extraction for guaranteed pieces

Relic Synthesis Strategy

Worth Synthesizing

  • Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters
  • Musketeer of Wild Wheat
  • Space Sealing Station ornaments

Priority Order

  1. Body pieces with CRIT Rate/DMG
  2. Feet pieces with SPD
  3. Spheres with elemental DMG

The Math: Diminishing Returns

Going from 60:120 to 70:140 CRIT = ~10% DPS increase Going from 70:140 to 80:160 CRIT = ~7% DPS increase

Build more characters instead of perfecting one!
