Top Picks You Can't Miss at the Small Jar Bazaar

Here’s a rewritten version of your content in American English, keeping it unique and clear:

Broadly similar to prior Souls titles, Elden Ring Nightreign provides minimal guidance on its various mechanics. When you first enter the main hub, finding the Small Jar Bazaar—its primary in-game shop—is simple, but determining which items are worthwhile can be challenging. The value of items can change frequently, much like the game’s maps, as early relics can quickly become outdated after just a few successful runs.

Although the Small Jar Bazaar will remain in a fixed location throughout your adventure, its inventory will expand as you defeat end-of-run Nightlord bosses. At the start, expect a modest selection of relics and emotes, but as you progress, discernment of which items are worth spending your hard-earned Murk can be daunting.

Essential Starting Items in Nightreign

Gather a Variety of Relics for Different Types

During your Elden Ring Nightreign runs, you’ll acquire items and levels using runes. After each run—win or lose—you’ll earn Murk, a currency essential for making purchases in the hub, including outfits and bazaar items. This currency accumulates over time and is crucial for acquiring anything that stays with you in future playthroughs. Here’s what you can find at the Bazaar:

Relics (which include a gambling mechanic reminiscent of Diablo)
Emotes (or Gestures)
Pate Stones (sound effects that act like audible emotes)

In your early experience with Nightreign, aim to purchase a few relics. Every Nightfarer class starts with a different default relic loadout, consisting of three color-coded slots tailored to specific relic types (red relics fit in the red slot, and so on). For a modest cost of 500 Murk per relic, you can equip most classes effectively. While the enhancements may seem minimal, they can certainly make a difference in challenging encounters.

Recommended Mid-Game Items in Nightreign

Prioritize High-Impact Relics and Goblets

Once you’ve completed several runs, it’s time to shift your focus to impactful relics instead of merely filling your inventory. Completing runs will grant you additional relics for free, expanding your collection beyond what you can buy. Feel free to sell any unneeded relics for extra Murk, but hold onto those that involve elemental affinities, as they are vital for tackling tougher bosses later on.

In the mid-game, prioritize purchasing Goblets that unlock new coloring options for relic loadouts. For a one-time fee of 1200 Murk per character, they will enable you to equip different relics in each slot for various Nightfarers. It’s wise to concentrate on a few characters before investing in additional Goblets.

Optimal Late-Game Items in Nightreign

Invest in Costumes or Try Your Luck with Scenic Flatstones

While not available at the Small Jar Bazaar, costumes can cost a hefty amount of Murk for those interested in them. After defeating two bosses, you’ll automatically unlock two costume types—dawn and darkness—which are priced at 14,000 Murk and 35,000 Murk, respectively. You can change outfits at the "change garb" section in the Roundtable Hold after meeting the unlock criteria.

If flashy cosmetics aren’t your style, consider investing in Scenic Flatstones instead. These function as a gambling feature from other action RPGs. Each stone costs 600 Murk and will transform into a random relic. Your investment in Scenic Flatstones may yield valuable rewards, but remember that purchasing multiple at once can simplify the process.
