Relics are powerful items that give your Nightfarer a significant advantage during each run in Elden Ring Nightreign. However, there's a limit to the number you can store in your hideaway.
Earlier today, a user on the r/Nightreign subreddit shared a screenshot from their game showing a special message that appeared when they attempted to start an expedition. "Cannot launch expedition: Too many relics in possession," the message read. "Please use the relic rite menu to sell excess relics."
You can't play if you have too many relics

The user u/Scufozzover1 didn't specify the exact number of relics they had, only estimating "maybe over 1,000." While this could be related to a general 999-item cap, without grinding for that many relics, the exact limit remains uncertain.
Clearing out your relic storage offers multiple benefits, primarily for resource management. If you're repeatedly playing Elden Ring Nightreign, it's easy to lose track of how many relics you've accumulated.
Comments in the thread revisited a common critique of Elden Ring Nightreign: the necessity of relic management. As your collection grows, it becomes challenging to organize your relics effectively. Players have suggested adding better filters to help sort through large inventories.
Managing relics is already somewhat tedious for me, as I've accumulated a substantial stockpile of basic relics. I can only imagine how overwhelming it must be for this Redditor with hundreds upon hundreds of relics. While this may not be an immediate concern for most players, as you continue playing Nightreign over weeks and months, it's wise to monitor your inventory. At the very least, this serves as a good reminder to periodically clear out unused relics.
