If you’ve ever played a looter RPG like Honkai: Star Rail, collecting powerful, game-changing relics is easily one of the most exciting core goals for most players. But that excitement can quickly turn to frustration when your relic inventory fills up slot by slot, and you’re stuck staring at that annoying “out of space” error when you just found a brand new relic you can’t even pick up. Chances are, you’ve felt that pain before. The good news is that if you stick to a clear filtering and sorting system, you can clear out tons of space in minutes, instead of spending half an hour overthinking every relic you pick up. This step-by-step guide will walk you through exactly how to organize your overstuffed relic bag.
Step 1: Set Clear Priorities for Keeping or Discarding Relics
Most players slow down the inventory cleaning process because they hem and haw over every single relic they pick up, trying to decide if it’s worth keeping. If you set rules ahead of time based on what characters and builds you’re working on, you can decide whether to keep or trash a relic in just a couple seconds.
Highest Priority: Keep Endgame BiS Relics For Your Current Builds
No matter what characters you’re running in Honkai: Star Rail, perfect-stat endgame relics that match your current character’s build are always the first thing you lock in and keep. As soon as you get one of these god-roll relics, lock it immediately to avoid accidentally deleting it later when you’re cleaning up.
Second Priority: Keep High-Potential Relics You Know You’ll Use Soon
If you’re already running out of space, you can narrow this category down even further: only keep high-quality good-stat relics for characters you plan to build in the near future, or highly versatile relics that work across multiple builds. If you have relics for niche builds you haven’t gotten around to trying and have no plans to run any time soon, you can safely get rid of them. You can always farm for new ones later if you change your mind, and holding onto them long-term just wastes space that’s way more useful right now.
Immediate Processing: Low-Quality Relics With Completely Useless Stats
Common, low-tier relics, or relics where every single substat is useless for every build you currently run don’t need any second thought. Throw them away or break them down for materials right away. If the game has a relic decomposition system, you’ll even get valuable enhancement materials out of the process, which makes this a net win for you.
Handy Tips To Speed Up Your Inventory Cleanup
Once you have your priority rules set down, these simple tricks will cut your cleaning time in half:
Make Full Use Of The Game’s Built-In Sorting And Filtering Tools
Nearly every game with a relic system includes built-in tools to sort and filter relics by quality, slot, and substat type. You can pull up all low-quality relics at once and process them in bulk, instead of hunting for them one by one manually. This saves you tons of time you can spend farming instead of organizing.
Do Small, Regular Cleanups – Don’t Wait Until You’re Full
We recommend spending just 5 minutes cleaning up your inventory after you finish a farming session or log out for the day. Don’t wait until your bag is completely full and you have to sort through hundreds of relics all at once. Sorting that many relics in one go is tiring, and you’re way more likely to accidentally delete a good relic you wanted to keep when you’re rushing through the process.
Always Get Into The Habit Of Locking Good Relics Immediately
No matter how often you clean up your inventory, lock any good relic you want to keep as soon as you get it. That way, you won’t accidentally delete your top-tier relics when you’re bulk deleting or breaking down extra relics, so you never have to deal with the heartache of losing a perfect roll you can’t get back.
At the end of the day, having a full relic inventory isn’t something you need to stress over. If you stick to a clear filtering logic and use the game’s built-in tools the right way, you can quickly clear out enough space to keep collecting new relics, and you’ll never accidentally lose a great relic you wanted to keep. If your inventory has been overflowing for a while, go give this method a try the next time you log in!
