Hey, Trailblazer! Looking for a Honkai: Star Rail currency guide that makes every inventory icon instantly click? This complete HSR currency walkthrough breaks down Stellar Jade, Oneiric Shards, Star Rail Passes, Undying Embers/Starlight, and Credits—plus what each one is actually for—so your pulls stay on track and your spending always has a purpose.
Pull economy
Stellar Jade
Stellar Jade is the premium earnable currency that fuels most banner planning. You pick it up through Mission Rewards, Level Rewards, Daily Training (in the Interastral Peace Guide), opening Treasure, clearing Forgotten Hall and Pure Fiction, finishing Achievements, and playing time-limited Events. It also comes from HoYoLAB Daily Check-in, Redemption Codes, and converting Oneiric Shards; spenders add a steady stream via Express Supply Pass.
You spend Stellar Jade in the Store or the Warp menu to buy Star Rail Pass or Star Rail Special Pass at 160 Stellar Jade each, and you can exchange it to replenish Trailblaze Power ×60 up to 8 times daily (cost scales per refill).
Oneiric Shard
Oneiric Shards are the premium paid currency. You obtain them through in-game purchases (the Oneiric Pouch) and certain paid products like Express Supply Pass.
You use Oneiric Shards in two clean ways: convert them into Stellar Jade at 1:1, or spend them directly in the Contract Shop when an item is priced in Oneiric Shards.
Star Rail Special Pass
Star Rail Special Pass is the ticket you spend on limited-time Event Warp banners. You get it from Mission Rewards and Event Rewards, and it frequently appears in login/event reward tracks.
You can also buy it from exchange shops: Embers Exchange sells it (including the monthly discounted stock of 5 at 90 Undying Embers each), and Starlight Exchange sells it for 20 Undying Starlight with no stock limit.
Star Rail Pass
Star Rail Pass is used for Stellar Warp and Departure Warp. The game feeds these to you steadily through Simulated Universe Point Rewards (weekly), Nameless Honor (reward track), plus various Missions and Events; Trial of the Equilibrium rewards from Pom-Pom also include Star Rail Pass.
If you want more without touching Stellar Jade, both exchange shops stock it: Embers Exchange (including the monthly discounted 5 at 90 Undying Embers each) and Starlight Exchange (20 Undying Starlight, unlimited).
Express Supply Pass
Express Supply Pass is a 30-day subscription. When you purchase it, you immediately receive Oneiric Shard ×300, and for the next 30 days you can claim Stellar Jade ×90 per day when you log into the game.
The daily claim resets at 4:00 AM server time, and unclaimed daily Stellar Jade does not roll over. You can extend the pass duration by purchasing again, with a purchase limit tied to having less than 179 days remaining validity; purchases beyond that rule trigger a refund behavior (listed as 330 Oneiric Shards in the store notice).
Warp byproducts
Undying Embers
Undying Embers are generated by Warp pulls, so they arrive naturally as you summon.
You spend them in Embers Exchange (Store → Phone menu). The headline uses are monthly discounted Star Rail Special Pass and Star Rail Pass (each has 5 discounted copies at 90 Embers), plus staples like Tracks of Destiny, Credit, character EXP items, and Light Cone EXP items.
Undying Starlight
Undying Starlight is the rarer Warp byproduct, mostly tied to higher-rarity results and duplicates.
You spend it in Starlight Exchange (Store → Phone menu). The “always available” part is simple: Star Rail Special Pass ×20 and Star Rail Pass ×20 with no stock limit. The shop also runs monthly items, including rotating 4★ Characters (140 each) and standard 5★ Light Cones (600 each, monthly limit).
Progression currency
Credit
Credit is the main universal currency for upgrades and purchases. It’s used everywhere you’re powering up: character and Light Cone leveling, Relic enhancement, Trace leveling, and a lot of shop buying.
You earn Credits broadly from Mission Rewards, defeating enemies, opening Treasure, and Events, with the dedicated farm being Calyx (Golden): Bud of Treasures. When you’re short and just need a quick top-up, Embers Exchange also sells Credit bundles (e.g., Credit ×10,000 packs).
How to buy Oneiric Shards
For the official route, you can purchase Oneiric Shards in-game via Shop → Oneiric Pouch, or use the HoYoverse Top-Up Center in a browser by logging in, selecting your server, and entering your UID.
If you’re buying with value and convenience in mind, LDShop keeps the flow fast and the deals upfront: 6480+1600 Oneiric Shards from US$66, plus promos like a 15% off new member gift and a 15% off invite offer, with Visa / MasterCard / PayPal supported and Instant Delivery that’s typically within 10 minutes.
To top up there, you just choose the Oneiric Shard pack, select your Server, paste your HSR UID, complete payment, then check your Order Center and confirm the shards in-game once it finishes.
HSR currency FAQ
Q: Stellar Jade vs Oneiric Shards — what’s the practical difference?
A: Stellar Jade is your main “earn and spend” premium currency for pulls and Trailblaze Power refills. Oneiric Shards are the paid currency you can either convert into Stellar Jade at 1:1, or use directly where Shards are accepted
Q: My Express Supply Pass is active — when does the daily claim reset?
A: It resets at 4:00 AM server time each day.
Q: If I miss a day, do the daily Stellar Jades stack or get mailed later?
A: No — any daily Stellar Jades you didn’t claim because you didn’t log in won’t be refunded.
Q: When do “monthly limit” items in Embers Exchange refresh?
A: The monthly caps refresh on the 1st of the month for items marked as monthly-limited.
Q: When topping up on PC stores, what’s the easiest way to avoid a “went to the wrong place” mistake?
A: After purchase, log in on the same account you meant to receive it on, then choose the correct server and character to claim — wrong selection means it won’t distribute correctly.
Conclusion
A good currency plan makes everything feel lighter: pulls stay intentional, shop resets stop sneaking up on you, and your farming time turns into real progress instead of clutter. Keep this guide nearby whenever you’re deciding what to convert, what to save, and what to spend right away. And when a banner finally hits and you want a clean top-up to match your budget, LDShop's HSR Top-uop keeps the process quick and straightforward.
