Hero Siege relics guide: best relics, farming and leveling
Over 160 relics, leveled by duplicates to 10. Where to farm them fastest, which ones to chase and what Season 10 changed.
Relics are trinkets that sit in their own slots next to your gear. There are a bit over 160 of them in Hero Siege, and each one levels up to 10 by finding duplicates. Season 10 added free Relic Storage and a relic collection achievement, and the Relic Feast zone and codex make farming them much faster than finding them by chance.
The short version
- You have four relic slots, and the WANTED quest chain unlocks a fifth.
- Relics level only by duplicates, one level each, up to level 10. They belong to one character, not the account.
- Farm them in Relic Feast and Relic Keepers satanic zones, with the Codex of Relic Feast or through Chaos Pillars.
- Jefre's Subscription, Token of Luck, Fortune Card and Newt Tail are the magic find picks. Hand of Midas and King's Crown are for gold.
Relic types
| Type | What it does | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Stat relics | Add numbers such as attributes, movement speed or magic find | Token of Luck, Newt Tail |
| Proc and skill relics | Cast effects | Frozen Orb, Devil Horn, Rubber Duck |
| Orbiting relics | Circle around you and hit enemies | |
| Follower relics | Walk with you and attack |
Details are from Metaroad's relics guide.
Leveling relics
Relics have no experience. Each duplicate you find raises a relic by one level, up to 10. Relics are stored per character, so deleting a character deletes its relics. Spare copies go into the Relic Storage tab, which Season 10 added for free. Leveling every relic in the game to 10, the so-called relic holy grail, earns a title and an achievement.
Where to farm relics
- Relic Feast satanic zone: every kill can drop a relic.
- Relic Keepers satanic zone: Ancient monsters can drop relics.
- Eternity Codex: socket the Codex of Relic Feast runeword, which patch 7.0.11 fixed after it had not been working. Our codex guide explains how codexes work.
- Chaos Pillars with the relic affix. The Relic Infused Chaos Ether node was raised from 5 to 15 percent in patch 7.0.3.
- Blood Pact, using the relic drop rate slider.
Metaroad's suggested setup is a relic codex, the Unholy Siege Ether branch for more kills and Relic Infused Chaos for pillar runs. Players report getting target relics to level 10 in about two to five hours that way.
Best relics
- Magic find: Jefre's Subscription, Token of Luck, Fortune Card and Newt Tail.
- Light stacking: Jefre's Subscription with the Light in the Darkness incarnation.
- Gold find: Hand of Midas and King's Crown.
- Casters: the Fire, Ice, Lightning, Poison or Arcane Globe that matches your main skill.
Our magic find guide covers how relic magic find stacks with gear, Ether and your mercenary, and the gold farming guide uses the gold relics.
The 5th relic slot
The fifth slot comes from the WANTED quests and The Fall of Darkness. Our 5th relic slot guide walks through every step.
Farming relics with a bot
Relic farming is long, repetitive zone clearing, which is the kind of loop automation handles. MUSA's Hero Siege bot fights with the skills you assign, mines ore, picks up what passes your loot filter, stashes a full bag and resets the map. Panic Art bans for automation online, so read our guide to cheats, trainers and bots before you decide.
