Maximize progression with smart Trailblaze Power usage, targeted relic runs, and efficient weekly bosses.
Updated periodically for current patch fundamentals
Farming for resources in Honkai: Star Rail is essential for character progression. This guide covers the most efficient ways to obtain relics, weekly boss materials, and other important resources to strengthen your team.
Always prioritize using your Trailblaze Power before it caps at 240. The most efficient use is on Caverns of Corrosion for relics and Calyx for character/light cone materials.
Relics provide significant stat boosts. Target specific Caverns of Corrosion to farm the 4-piece sets your build needs. Always check the in-game Cavern preview to confirm the current sets and locations for your version.
Echo of War bosses drop unique weekly materials used for Traces and ascension. You get a limited number of weekly claims—always use them before reset. The specific bosses and drops rotate with patches; confirm in-game for your version.
Honkai: Star Rail doesn’t lock Calyxes, Stagnant Shadows, or Caverns of Corrosion to specific days. Plan around daily reset and your Trailblaze Power economy. Use Assignments and events to supplement materials.
Maximize your resource gains with these proven farming strategies that help you progress faster without wasting valuable Trailblaze Power.
Focus on getting complete 4-piece sets with the correct main stats first, then gradually replace pieces with better substats. Use Simulated Universe rewards to reroll bad relics into potentially better ones using the Relic Rebirth system.
It's generally recommended to use your 3 free attempts first on bosses that drop materials for your main characters. Only use Echo of War if you urgently need specific materials and can't wait until the next weekly reset.
Prioritize character ascension materials first, then trace materials, followed by relics. This ensures your characters can reach their level caps and unlock important abilities before fine-tuning their stats with relics.
Higher World Levels provide better drop rates for rare materials. If possible, try to reach at least World Level 6 before heavily investing in farming. However, don't delay character progression too much - some farming at lower levels is still beneficial.
Efficient farming is the key to steady progression in Honkai: Star Rail. By following this guide and planning your daily and weekly farming routine, you'll be able to maximize your resources and strengthen your characters more effectively. Remember to prioritize your main team's needs and gradually expand your roster as you gather more materials.
