What to farm before relics
Character levels, Light Cone levels, and major traces outperform random purple relics. If your DPS is underleveled, Cavern of Corrosion runs will not fix clear times. Finish weekly Echo of War every reset for trace materials.
- Calyx for EXP and Credits while leveling
- Stagnant Shadow for ascension materials
- Echo of War weekly bosses before casual relic grinding
How to pick the right relic set
Open your main DPS build page and farm only the listed S/A sets. Mixed 2pc combinations are fine while you wait for a full 4pc. Planar Ornaments come from Simulated Universe Worlds — match the rope/sphere stats on the build page, not just set names.
- Use the Relics database to see which characters share a domain
- Farm one domain for your whole team when possible
- Stop at usable main stats; chase substats only for endgame walls
Double rewards and code materials
Save reserve Trailblaze Power for double-drop events. Promo codes often grant Guides and Aether that accelerate the pre-relic stage — redeem them first so farming sessions are not starved for EXP books.
- Check /farming for domain and schedule notes
- Redeem /star-rail-codes before long farm sessions
- Return to character builds after each major level breakpoint
