Stellar Jades serve as the primary premium currency in Honkai: Star Rail, required to purchase Warp Passes for the gacha system to unlock new characters and Light Cones. Accumulating this currency requires regular participation in daily activities, endgame challenges, and limited-time events. Because Stellar Jades are directly tied to account progression, the game’s ecosystem frequently attracts fraudulent websites and scams promising free or discounted currency. This guide outlines the officially supported methods for earning Stellar Jades and details how to identify common account-theft scams.
Legitimate Methods to Earn Stellar Jades
HoYoverse provides multiple avenues to earn Stellar Jades through standard gameplay. These sources are divided into recurring tasks, which require consistent logins, and one-time rewards tied to exploration and story progression.
Daily Training and Weekly Modes
Daily Training is the most stable and reliable source of Stellar Jades. By completing a brief checklist of routine tasks—such as leveling up a Relic, using a consumable item, or clearing a Calyx domain—players accumulate Activity Points. Reaching 500 Activity Points fills the daily progress bar, rewarding exactly 60 Stellar Jades per day. Over a standard 30-day month, maintaining this daily habit yields 1,800 Stellar Jades. Additionally, the Simulated Universe and Divergent Universe modes offer weekly point resets. By completing runs in either mode, players earn points that unlock tiered rewards, including Stellar Jades and standard Star Rail Passes. The amount of weekly Stellar Jades scales with the player’s Equilibrium Level, up to a maximum of 225 Jades per week at the highest difficulty tiers.
Endgame Combat Rotations
For accounts with developed rosters, endgame combat modes provide a substantial recurring income. Honkai: Star Rail features three rotating endgame modes: Memory of Chaos: A two-team challenge focused on defeating bosses within a strict turn limit. Pure Fiction: An area-of-effect combat mode where teams defeat continuous waves of enemies to accumulate points. Apocalyptic Shadow: A mode centered around defeating enhanced, single-target bosses with unique mechanics. These modes rotate on a regular schedule, with a new phase resetting periodically. Clearing all stages of an active endgame mode with maximum stars rewards up to 800 Stellar Jades per reset. Players who consistently clear these modes maximize their free-to-play income between patches.
Limited-Time Events and Redemption Codes
Version updates introduce limited-time events that serve as major infusions of Stellar Jades. A typical patch includes one flagship event, which often rewards over 1,000 Stellar Jades, alongside several smaller events yielding 400 to 500 Jades each. Participating in these events before they expire is necessary to maintain a healthy currency balance. Furthermore, HoYoverse hosts a Special Program Livestream roughly two weeks before every new version update. During these broadcasts, the developers release three redemption codes, each providing 100 Stellar Jades (300 total). These codes expire within 24 hours of the broadcast, requiring players to redeem them promptly through the in-game profile menu or the official HoYoverse redemption website.
Exploration and Story Quests
Permanent content provides a massive pool of one-time Stellar Jade rewards for new and returning players. Treasure Chests: Scattered across all maps, basic chests provide 5 Jades, while bountiful and precious chests guarded by formidable foes provide up to 30 Jades. Warp Trotters: Special enemies found in various zones that attempt to flee during combat. Defeating a Warp Trotter before it escapes yields 60 Stellar Jades. Missions: Completing Trailblaze Missions (the main story), Companion Missions, and specific Adventure Missions offers one-time bulk payouts of Stellar Jades.
Identifying and Avoiding Stellar Jade Scams
Because Stellar Jades hold monetary value in the game's economy, malicious actors frequently target players with fraudulent schemes. Attempting to bypass the game's economy through unofficial channels routinely results in stolen accounts or permanent bans.
Currency Generators and Modded Applications
Numerous websites advertise Free Stellar Jade Generators or modded APK files that claim to inject unlimited currency into a player's account. These tools are structurally impossible. Honkai: Star Rail operates on a server-authoritative architecture, meaning all currency balances and inventory data are stored securely on HoYoverse's servers, not on the player’s local device. Client-side modifications cannot alter the server's data. Websites claiming to generate Jades are phishing tools designed to harvest the player's User ID (UID) and password, resulting in immediate account theft. Modded applications often contain malware or keyloggers and trigger the game's anti-cheat software, leading to an automatic and permanent account ban.
Unauthorized Third-Party Top-Ups and Chargeback Fraud
Some third-party websites or social media sellers offer Stellar Jades at steeply discounted rates compared to the official in-game store. These services often operate using chargeback fraud. The seller uses stolen credit card information to purchase Stellar Jades for the buyer's account. When the legitimate owner of the stolen credit card eventually notices the fraudulent charge and files a chargeback through their bank, the funds are pulled back from HoYoverse. HoYoverse's automated billing system responds by deducting the corresponding amount of Stellar Jades from the player's account. If the player has already spent the Jades, their account balance drops into the negative. Accounts with negative Stellar Jade balances are permanently banned unless the player repays the debt through legitimate purchases. Players should only purchase premium currency through the official in-game store or officially authorized partners like Codashop.
Phishing Links and Fake Surveys
Scammers frequently send direct messages on social media platforms (like Discord or Twitter) or emails that mimic official HoYoverse communications. These messages often promise a reward of 1,000 to 5,000 Stellar Jades in exchange for testing a new feature, joining a beta server, or completing a player survey. The provided links direct users to fake login portals designed to look identical to the official HoYoverse website. HoYoverse does conduct legitimate player surveys that reward small amounts of currency, but these are exclusively distributed and accessed through the in-game mailbox. In-game surveys automatically authenticate the player's account and never require the user to manually type in their password or email address. Any external link demanding login credentials in exchange for in-game rewards is a phishing attempt.
