How to get Stellar Jade in Honkai: Star Rail: every free source, ranked
Stellar Jade are what you spend on pulls in Honkai: Star Rail: 160 per pull, so 90 pulls to hard pity means 90 × 160. Nobody farms that in a week. What a free player does instead is build a routine that quietly collects 6,400–7,740 Stellar Jade a month and saves it for the banner that matters.
This guide ranks every free source by how much it actually gives, then turns it into a daily, weekly and per-patch checklist. If you only want the monthly number and what it means for your pity, the companion page has it in one table.
Where the Stellar Jade come from, best source first
Ordered by monthly yield. The top two or three lines are what separates an account that pulls every banner from one that does not; everything below is a bonus.
- 1Events: about 2,000–2,700 Stellar Jade a month, or 12–16 pullsvaries a lot by patch
- 2Daily Training: about 1,800 Stellar Jade a month, or 11 pulls
- 3Memory of Chaos / Pure Fiction / Apocalyptic Shadow: about 1,600–1,800 Stellar Jade a month, or 10–11 pullsfull-star clear, all three modes
- 4Maintenance compensation & check-in: about 400–600 Stellar Jade a month, or 2–3 pulls
- 5Simulated Universe: about 450–540 Stellar Jade a month, or 2–3 pulls
- 6Livestream codes: about 150–300 Stellar Jade a month, or 0–1 pulls
The routine that collects all of it
Split by how often each source resets. Missing a day is not a disaster; missing a whole endgame reset is, because that Stellar Jade cannot be recovered.
Every day
The steady base of any F2P account in Honkai: Star Rail. Small amounts, but multiplied by thirty days they are usually the largest single line of the month.
- Daily Training · 11
Every reset of the endgame modes
The highest-value hours in Honkai: Star Rail: rewards scale with how far you clear, so the last stars are the expensive ones. Check the reset calendar.
- Simulated Universe · 2–3
- Memory of Chaos / Pure Fiction / Apocalyptic Shadow · 10–11
Every patch or event
The line with the widest swing. A good patch can double the monthly Stellar Jade; a quiet one gives almost nothing. Always finish the event shop before it closes.
- Events · 12–16
Whenever they drop
Redeem codes and compensation mail arrive after livestreams, maintenance and anniversaries. They expire fast: redeem the day you see them.
- Livestream codes · 0–1
- Maintenance compensation & check-in · 2–3
One-time rewards (new accounts)
Claimable once per account, so they are not in the monthly ranking. On a fresh Honkai: Star Rail account they can outweigh months of routine and are the reason new players pull so much in their first weeks.
- Divergent Universe
- Achievements
- Exploration & story quests
What costs F2P players the most
- Spending Stellar Jade on the standard banner or on 10-pulls "to see what happens" instead of saving for a limited unit.
- Letting an endgame reset in Honkai: Star Rail pass without clearing it: that Stellar Jade is gone for good.
- Ignoring the event shop and redeem codes because they are small: together they are often a full multi every month.
- Pulling before checking the numbers. Your real chance of the featured unit depends on your pity and your pulls; the calculator shows it before you spend.
If you decide to spend
Only worth mentioning because the value gap is huge: the cheapest recurring pass in Honkai: Star Rail pays several times more Stellar Jade per dollar than any bundle in the shop.
- With the Express Supply Pass (~$4.99)+3,000 Stellar Jade / month ≈ +18 pulls
Now do the math
Knowing where the Stellar Jade come from is half of it. The companion page turns the monthly total into pulls, months to hard pity and your real chance of the featured unit, and the calculator takes your exact pity and savings.
Amounts for Honkai: Star Rail come from fixed rewards plus a conservative range for events. They are rounded and may shift with patches.
