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
- Correct Main Stat - Non-negotiable
- 2+ Useful Substats - CRIT/ATK%/SPD/Relevant stat
- 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
- Get 4pc set bonus first
- Farm correct main stats
- Then optimize substats
Support Characters
- Often 2pc + 2pc is fine
- Speed boots priority
- Energy rope for burst supports
Cavern Farming Tips
- Use Double Drops - 2x Trailblaze Power for 2x rewards
- Save Immersifiers - Only use on good caverns
- Check Both Sets - Most caverns have 2 useful sets
- 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
- Body pieces with CRIT Rate/DMG
- Feet pieces with SPD
- 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
