To get all relics in Booster Pack Heroes, you need relic packs from two places, shop jackpots and skill tree quest rewards, plus the few relics that unlock directly from upgrades in the skill tree. If you have done all of that and your relic count is still stuck one short, update the game: the launch week patches fixed the final relic pack reward and the relic achievement.
Relics are the long tail of Booster Pack Heroes, the pieces you combine for stronger builds, and the last few are often all that stands between a finished save and the Museum Curator achievement. Here is where each kind of relic comes from, how to farm the shop efficiently, and how to tell a missing relic from a bugged one.
How Many Relics There Are
The developer’s launch announcement lists “40 relics to combine for crazy builds.” The relic page’s own counter tops out at 39 in the launch version, which is why “38 of 39” became the number everyone stuck on the last relic was looking at. Either way, the Relics tab in the shop screen is where you check your progress: any relic you have not discovered yet shows as a locked slot.
Where Relics Come From
There are three sources, and you need all of them for a full collection:
| Source | How it works |
|---|---|
| Shop jackpots | Once you buy the skill tree upgrade that adds relic packs to jackpots, hitting a jackpot in the shop can award a relic pack |
| Skill tree quests | Some quest nodes in the skill tree reward relic packs |
| Skill tree upgrades | A handful of relics unlock directly from upgrade nodes, so they never drop from packs |
The order matters less than coverage. If your count is short, check the skill tree before you start grinding jackpots: buy every remaining upgrade and finish every quest node, because a relic tied to an upgrade or a quest is easy to overlook.
How to Farm Shop Jackpots for Relic Packs
The shop is where most of your relic packs come from once the tree is finished. A jackpot is its own achievement (Jackpot!), and once your quests are done, jackpots are where more relic packs come from.
- Buy the relic pack upgrade first. Until it is unlocked, jackpots do not add relic packs.
- Reroll the shop for jackpots. You can only land one jackpot per visit to the shop, but lining up several matches at once can stack more than one in a single roll.
- Play a quick round, then come back. Because each visit allows one jackpot, short battles between shop visits are the fastest way to get more rolls.
- Replay a finished act. Since patch 1.0.30D you can keep playing acts 1 and 2 after finishing them, and their quests keep progressing, so an early act you can clear quickly makes a good farming spot.
Why Your Relic Count Might Be Stuck
Release week was rough for relic hunters. Patch 1.0.30D, out on the night of November 10, fixed “the final relic pack quest reward not being granted” and a few achievements that could not be unlocked, and the developer told players on the official forum that restarting into 1.0.30D should fix a relic achievement that would not unlock. Patch 1.0.35D followed on November 11 with more softlock fixes.
If relic packs keep paying out gems instead of relics while your relic page still shows a locked slot, do these in order:
- Update the game and restart it, so you are on the newest patch.
- Open another relic pack after updating.
- Recheck the skill tree for an unbought upgrade or an unfinished quest node that holds a relic.
- Recheck the Relics tab to see which slot is still locked.
The Museum Curator Achievement
Museum Curator asks you to “Discover every relic,” and it is one of the slowest of the game’s 37 achievements, alongside Hall of Holos (every foil hero and tome) and Prismatic Bestiary (every monster in its foil form). At launch it sometimes failed to unlock even with a full relic page. If yours shows every relic discovered and the achievement still has not popped, restart the game on the latest patch, which is the fix the developer gave on the forum.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many relics are in Booster Pack Heroes? The launch announcement lists 40 relics, and the in-game relic counter tops out at 39 in the launch version.
How do you get relic packs in Booster Pack Heroes? From shop jackpots once you buy the skill tree upgrade that adds relic packs to them, and from quest nodes in the skill tree that reward relic packs.
Why do relic packs give gems instead of relics? At launch a bug could leave the last relic out of reach. Update to the latest patch, open another relic pack, and recheck the skill tree for relics tied to upgrades or quests.
Can you get more than one jackpot per shop visit? Only one jackpot can land per visit, but a single roll that lines up several matches at once can award more than one.
Why won’t the Museum Curator achievement unlock? It was bugged at launch. The developer’s fix is to restart the game on version 1.0.30D or later.
