Ancient Relics are an essential material to use when crafting Treasure Maps in Lost Ark. When you craft treasure maps, you can go to the secret location and excavate there. At the end of the map, you can be rewarded with items like Star’s Breath and Moon’s Breath, for example. Items like these Breaths can help increase your item upgrade success rate, and thus are vital to saving on other upgrade materials.

Ancient Relics from Arid Path
You can always find out if you are able to excavate in a region by looking at the in game map, and seeing if a relic is shown on the map. When we show you the picture of the Arthetine Excavating Route below, you will notice the grey relic rune in the top right corner. this indicates there are relics available in this area.
If you are still leveling or in Tier 1, we suggest Arid Path, located in Arthetine. This area is usually empty in terms of other players competing for relics. There are also a ton of spawn points, so you will be endlessly digging. You will definitely need to be ready to kill off any enemies in the area, but it is well worth it.
