Introduction to Efficient Farming
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.
Trailblaze Power Efficiency
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.
Relic Farming Basics
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.
Relic Farming Tips
- Get a full 4-piece set first; perfect rolls come later
- Prioritize main stats (Body/Feet/Planar/Link) over substats initially
- Farm at higher Equilibrium/World Levels for better drops
- Use Simulated Universe rewards and exchanges to supplement farming
Relic Farming Tips
- Focus on 4-piece sets first before optimizing individual pieces
- Prioritize main stats over substats initially
- Save Trailblaze Power for World Level 6+ for better drop rates
- Use Immersifier Paste to reroll bad relics into potentially better ones
- Complete the weekly Simulated Universe for Relic Rebirth materials
Weekly Boss (Echo of War)
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.
Weekly Tips
- Spend weekly attempts on bosses your core units need most
- Don’t leave claims until the last minute—resets can vary by region
- Higher difficulty/world level yields better return
- Use Trailblaze Power efficiently; Echo of War costs are significant
Daily Farming
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.
Daily Priorities
- Spend Trailblaze Power before it caps
- Target Ascension and Trace bottlenecks first
- Run Caverns for 4-piece sets when core levels are done
- Do Assignments for steady trickle of mats
Helpful Extras
- Clear Simulated Universe weekly for Relic-related rewards
- Check Embers Exchange and shops for priority items
- Watch event rewards—often include credits and mats
- Adjust based on current banner goals and team needs

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to farm relics efficiently?
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.
Should I use Echo of War for weekly bosses?
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.
What should I prioritize with limited Trailblaze Power?
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.
Is it worth farming at lower World Levels?
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.
