Introduction

Relics are the heart of the Moonlighter 2 economy. Every dungeon run is really a relic run — you dive into the dimensions, fight enemies, open chests and fill your backpack with ancient artifacts that you then sell in your Tresna shop. Each relic has a rarity tier (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary) and an effect that can trigger while it sits in your backpack, from bonus damage elements like Burn and Shock to utility effects that restore health or convert materials. Selling them at the right price is what funds your town upgrades, better weapons and shop perks. This page collects verified price data, biome drop locations and effect breakdowns so you can plan which relics to hunt, which to keep for synergy builds and which to flip for maximum gold.

Relic Spotlights

S

Eclipse Flower

Legendary Gallery drop — the Overcharge enabler

How to GetDrops in The Gallery biome, most reliably from elite enemies and treasure rooms on deeper floors. Its legendary rarity makes it a rare find, so prioritize elite kills when farming this relic.
EffectTriggers an Overcharge window on your Shock relics, letting them deal bonus burst damage. This turns a simple Shock build into a room-clearing combo that melts elite packs.
Best UseKeep it in your backpack during runs that use Shock relics, but sell it at the perfect price when you need a big gold injection — legendary relics fetch the highest prices.
A

Blackstone

Aeolia staple — turns Aetherium into pure profit

How to GetFound in the Aeolia biome, often from Petrify-focused enemies and crystal clusters. Combine it with Aetherium pickups for the best effect.
EffectConverts Aetherium crystals into bonus gold when you pick them up, effectively raising your gold per run in Aeolia. It is the backbone of many endgame farming routes.
Best UseRun it every time you farm Aeolia, then sell a spare copy at a high price tier. Keeping one in the bag doubles the value of every Aetherium pickup.
B

Silence Shell

Beginner-friendly Kalina starter relic

How to GetCommon drop in Kalina from early-floor enemies and chests. You will see this relic often, so it is a great way to practice perfect pricing.
EffectMuffles enemy noise, making it easier to sneak past early threats or approach unaware enemies for a free opening attack. Small but useful in the first biome.
Best UseSell it at the perfect price once you learn its value — common relics are the safest way to build early gold without holding space for niche utility.
B

Battery Relic

Gallery synergy piece for Shock builds

How to GetDrops in The Gallery from Shock-themed enemies and mid-floor chests. Pair it with Shock relics to get the most value.
EffectCharges Shock relics faster and refunds energy on overkill kills, letting your Shock build sustain itself across longer fights and denser floors.
Best UseHold it during Gallery runs to supercharge your Shock damage, then sell spare copies at the perfect price for a solid mid-game income boost.
A

Sun Claw

Kalina's epic Burn enabler

How to GetDrops in Kalina from elite enemies and treasure rooms on deeper floors. It is an Epic relic, so expect to farm a few runs before it appears.
EffectAdds Burn to your next attack combo, letting aggressive weapons like the gauntlets and sword melt tanky enemies. The burn damage scales with your weapon level, so it stays relevant into the mid-game.
Best UseCarry it during Kalina and early Gallery runs for extra damage, then sell spare copies at the perfect price for a strong income boost once your build has better synergy relics.
B

Sand Fruit

A common Kalina heal-on-open utility

How to GetVery common drop in Kalina from early-floor enemies and chests. You will see it constantly, making it the ideal relic for practicing perfect pricing.
EffectRestores a little health whenever you open a chest, giving passive sustain during long runs. Small but genuinely useful for new players who are still learning to avoid damage.
Best UseKeep one early for the sustain, then sell extras at the perfect price. Because it is common, learning its price gives you a repeatable source of early gold every Kalina run.

Core Mechanics

Relic mechanics in Moonlighter 2 go beyond simple stat boosts — placement in your backpack matters. Corner relics trigger when placed at the four corners of the bag, pointed relics trigger when their arrow touches another relic, and ongoing relics give passive effects while carried. Elemental effects like Burn, Shock, Overcharge, Petrify and Absorb are tied to specific biomes and relic families, and they interact with enemy weaknesses. Understanding these synergies is what separates a casual seller from a master merchant: the right relic combination can turn a mediocre run into a legendary haul, while a badly managed bag forces you to leave valuable drops behind.

Advantages

Mastering relics pays off in every part of Moonlighter 2. In the shop, relic knowledge directly translates to profit — you know which rarity sells for what, when to hold a relic for its effect and when to flip it for gold. In the dungeon, the right relic effects give you combat advantages: Burn melts tanky enemies, Shock stuns packs and Petrify sets up free hits. In town, the gold from well-priced relics funds your weapon upgrades, shop perks and backpack expansions. Because relic prices are stable within a patch cycle, learning the perfect price for each common and rare relic type gives you a repeatable income source every run. This page turns that knowledge into a searchable reference.

Challenges

Relic data is the most volatile information in the community. Perfect prices shift between patches, and the Early Access era saw several rebalances of relic effects and rarity distributions — the Greed & Glory update changed part of the shop economy, so older price lists can be wrong. Relic effects also depend heavily on your backpack setup: a legendary relic with the wrong placement or the wrong supporting relics can underperform a well-synergized common set. Finally, relic drops are biome-specific and sometimes elite-gated, so farming a specific legendary can take many runs. Always verify prices against the current patch and treat community guides — including this wiki — as reference points, not absolute truth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most expensive relic in Moonlighter 2?+
Legendary relics from the later biomes, such as the Eclipse Flower from The Gallery and high-tier Aeolia drops, fetch the highest perfect prices. Their price depends on the current patch, but legendary-tier relics consistently outsell everything else. To maximize profit, save your backpack space for these drops and sell lower-rarity relics early so you never leave a legendary behind.
How does relic placement in the backpack work?+
Relic placement matters because effects can be tied to position. Corner relics trigger at the four corners of the bag, pointed relics activate when their arrow touches an adjacent relic, and ongoing relics give passive benefits while carried. Planning your layout before you enter deep floors helps you keep the right effects active without wasting space on relics that do not synergize.
Where do I farm the best relics?+
Each biome has its own relic pool. Kalina drops beginner-friendly relics like Silence Shell and Sand Fruit, The Gallery introduces Shock and Overcharge relics, and Aeolia adds Petrify and Absorb families with Aetherium conversion. Elite enemies and treasure rooms on deeper floors have the best drop rates for Epic and Legendary relics, so push depth when you want premium drops.
Should I sell every relic I find?+
No — keep relics that support your current build and sell the rest. If you are running a Shock build in The Gallery, hold the Battery Relic and Eclipse Flower; sell common filler like Sand Fruit once you have enough of them. Relics held for effects reduce your carry space, so strike a balance: keep two or three synergy pieces and flip everything else at the perfect price.

Quick Tips

💡

Learn the perfect price for every common relic you encounter often — a stable reference list makes every run more profitable with almost no extra effort. Common relics like Sand Fruit sell repeatedly, so knowing their price pays off constantly. Track the perfect price of every relic you sell and keep a running mental list — after a few sessions you will price most common relics instantly without testing.

💡

Plan your backpack layout before deep floors: corners for corner relics, arrows touching for pointed relics, and a few open slots for emergency high-value pickups. A well-planned bag keeps synergies active without blocking legendary drops. Place your synergy relics before entering the final floors of a run, then rearrange only when a better drop changes your plan, so the effects stay active at the moment you need them most.

💡

Elite enemies and treasure rooms are your best legendary sources — always clear them when you are hunting premium relic drops. Skip them only when your health is too low to risk the fight. Elite enemies on the deepest floors drop the best legendary relics, but they also hit hardest — bring a high-DPS weapon and full health before hunting them.

💡

Check the updates page after every patch before following an old price list — relic prices and effects were rebalanced during Early Access and can change again in 1.0 hotfixes. Current data is always the safest reference. Prices shift between patches, so compare community lists with your own stamp results after every update before trusting old data for a big sale.
