In Elden Ring Nightreign, relics are essential items that enhance your Nightfarer’s abilities, giving you an edge on every run. However, there’s a surprising catch: there’s a cap on how many relics you can store at once. A player recently discovered this limit when attempting to launch an expedition, only to be greeted by a message that read, “Cannot launch expedition: Too many relics in possession.” The message also suggested selling off extras via the relic rite menu.
The player, who goes by the username u/Scufozzover1, didn’t specify the exact number of relics they had, but estimated it to be “upwards of 1000 maybe.” While this may hint at a general 999 item limit, it’s still unclear where exactly the cap lies. 
The discovery raises some interesting questions, especially for players who accumulate a large number of relics during long runs.
Relic management has always been a somewhat tricky aspect of Elden Ring Nightreign. With more relics entering your inventory, keeping track of them can quickly become overwhelming. The need for better organization tools and filtering options has been a recurring critique in the community. For those who have amassed a significant collection of relics, like this Reddit user, the challenge of managing them becomes even more apparent.
Although this may not be a major concern for most players right now, it’s something to keep in mind as the game continues to evolve. As you accumulate relics over time, it’s a good idea to periodically clean out unused items to avoid running into this storage cap. It’s also worth noting that this issue could become more prominent as future updates bring in more relics and other in-game items.
