Honkai: Star Rail free pulls: how many Stellar Jade you earn per month without paying
Every pull in Honkai: Star Rail costs 160 Stellar Jade. A free-to-play account that clears its routine content collects roughly 6,400–7,740 Stellar Jade a month, which converts into 40–48 pulls on the Character Event banner. Below is where that currency actually comes from, source by source, and what it means against a hard pity of 90.
The table only counts sources that repeat every month. Story rewards, achievements and other one-off bonuses are listed separately: they are a big head start for a new account, but they do not pay the next banner.

How far 40–48 pulls a month get you on the Character Event banner
Hard pity on this banner sits at 90 pulls, with soft pity kicking in around 74. Saving everything, a free player reaches hard pity in about 1.9–2.3 months, and the worst case for the featured unit (180 pulls) in about 4–5 months. With one month of pulls and no pity carried over, the chance of the featured unit is 11%–13%; with two months saved it climbs to 46%–50%.

One-time boosts for new accounts
