Honkai Star Rail: Best Ways To Level Up Fast [Our Picks]

Honkai Star Rail has a leveling system for Trailblazer Level similar to its counter-games like Genshin Impact. To level up fast and progress further, players might need help figuring out some of the Honkai Star Rail Best Ways To Level Up Fast; therefore, a detailed walkthrough on missions, quests, trailblazer power, and more might be needed! 

Daily Training Tasks 

Doing daily missions can easily grant you 200-500 EXP by completing fairly easy tasks.

Kicking things off, perhaps one of the main ways you can know the Best Ways To Level Up Fast is by doing the various Daily Training Tasks that are made available. These daily missions require you to log in daily to Honkai Star Rail and reward trailblazer EXP and jades and credits. 

• The main mission, Long Wait For The Blade’s Edge, must be completed to access the Daily Training Tasks. 
• The daily training system is a bit different here from other games, as it uses the progress system, requiring you to reach a threshold to gain its corresponding rewards. 
• There is a max 500 EXP cap, with one of the main missions granting 200 EXP, which is the easiest way to gain EXP. 

500 EXP Cap 

The different missions presented can range from various missions such as salvaging a relic, inflicting a weakness break a total of 5 times, completing a forgotten hall once, entering combat by making a follow up attack on the enemy’s weakness, and winning or even clearing Calyxes. 

1. At 100 EXP:
   • Rewards: 260 Trailblaze EXP, 10 Stellar Jades, and credit.
2. At 200 EXP (higher levels):
   • Rewards: 260 Trailblaze EXP, 10 Stellar Jades, and Lost Gold Fragments.
3. At 300 EXP:
   • Rewards: 260 Trailblaze EXP, 10 Stellar Jades, and adventure logs.
4. At 400 EXP:
   • Rewards: More Trailblaze EXP, 15 Stellar Jades, and 20k+ credit.
5. At 500 EXP:
   • Rewards: 260 Trailblaze EXP, 15 Stellar Jades, and 6 Lost Gold Fragments.

Trailblaze Power 

By using Trailblaze Power, you can easily farm about 1000-1600 EXP by getting 100-300 points from each activity.

The next way to cheese your way through the Trailblaze EXP cap is by using the Trailblaze Power. It is basically the energy, stamina, or resin system that can also be seen in other games. Every day, 180 base trailblaze power is provided, but fuel is also provided from time to time which can essentially restore 60 power per one fuel. 

There are a few places where the Trailblaze power can be used, and I’ll list them below. 

• Golden Calyx 
• Crimson Calyx 
• Stagnant Shadow
• Cavern Of Corrosion 
• Echo of War 
• Simulated Universe 

Golden Calyx 

First things first is to use it on the golden Calyxes, which include three main places to spend it on, ranging from the Bud of Memories, Bud of Aether, and the Bud of Treasures. 

Here, I will mention the summary:

1. Bud of Memories:
   • Entry Requirement: 10 Trailblaze Power.
   • Rewards: 50 Trailblaze EXP, Adventure Logs for character leveling.
2. Bud of Aether:
   • Entry Requirement: 10 Trailblaze Power.
   • Rewards: 50 EXP for each 10 Trailblaze Power used, a source for leveling up Light Cones (providing 2000 Light Cone EXP per run).
3. Bud of Treasures:
   • Entry Requirement: 10 Trailblaze Power.
   • Rewards: 50 Trailblaze EXP and 16,000 credits, useful when you need more in-game currency.

Crimson Calyx

Now, the Crimson Calyxes are essentially the main material needed to level up traces for the different character paths and strengthen them. 

1. Bud of Destruction (10 Trailblaze Power) grants 50 EXP and trace materials for Destruction Path characters.
2. Bud of Preservation (10 Trailblaze Power) provides 50 EXP and trace materials for Preservation Path characters.
3. Bud of The Hunt (10 Trailblaze Power) offers 50 EXP and trace materials for Hunt Path characters.
4. Bud of Abundance (10 Trailblaze Power) grants 50 EXP for Abundance Path characters.
5. Bud of Erudition (10 Trailblaze Power) provides 50 EXP and trace materials for Erudition Path characters.
6. Bud of Harmony (10 Trailblaze Power) gives 50 EXP and trace materials for Harmony Path characters.
7. Bud of Nihility (10 Trailblaze Power) offers 50 EXP and trace materials for Nihility Path characters.

Stagnant Shadow 

Next up, the Stagnant Shadow is also a source of Trailblaze EXP in my opinion.

6 Caverns of Corrosions essentially grant relics such as headpieces and chest pieces that strengthen characters. 

• Path of Gelid Wind: Costs 40 Trailblaze Power, grants 200 Trailblaze EXP, Wind and Ice relics.

• Path of Javving Punch: Costs 40 Trailblaze Power, grants 200 Trailblaze EXP, Champion of Streetwise Boxing, Thief of Shooting Meteor set.

• End of The Eternal Freeze: Boss fight against Cocolia, costs 30 power, grants 150 Trailblaze EXP, Guardian’s Lament relic.

Simulated Universe 

You can easily grant up to 1000 EXP from each world by farming Dungeons and Bosses.

For me, one of the best Ways To Level Up Fast is to do the Simulated Universe. It is a universe that features 6 worlds, each with increasing difficulty, dungeons, and rooms with smaller enemies, bosses, respite points, etc. 

• The first world grants 600 Trailblaze EXP upon completing it for the first time, and it will also grant 120 jades, 1 basic standard pass, and 2 Herta Bonds. 
• The World 2 will grant 600 Trailblaze EXP, 120 Jades, and one copy of Herta and 2 Herta Bonds. 

World 3 

World 3 grants 600 EXP, 120 Jades, two standard passes, and 2 Herta Bonds.

World 3 Difficulties:

• • Difficulty 2: Grants 200 EXP, 60 Jades, 2 five-star link ropes.
  • Difficulty 3: Grants 200 EXP, 60 Jades, more ornaments.
  • Difficulty 4: Grants 200 EXP, 60 Jades, more ornaments.
  • Difficulty 5: Grants 200 EXP, 60 Jades, spheres, and link ropes.

World 4 

From World 4, you get 600 EXP, 120 Stellar jades, as well as two bonds and one copy of Herta. 

Same as World 3, it also has five tiers of difficulty. 

• Difficulty 2: Grants 200 EXP, 60 Jades, and link ropes.
• Difficulty 3: Grants spheres, link ropes, 60 aides, and 200 EXP.
• Difficulty 4 & 5: Both grant 200 EXP, 60 stellar jades, and ornaments.

World 5

World 5 grants 600 EXP, 120 Jades, 2 standard passes, and 2 Herta Bonds.

World 5 requires players to be at least Equilibrium level 2, and it is hands-down one of the hardest worlds to complete at a lower level.  

• The second tier will grant 200 EXP, 60 jades, spheres, and link ropes to use on your character. 
• The same rewards are granted for difficulties three and four. 

World 6 

World 6 grants immense EXP, Jades, and more gold ornaments, split into different tiers. 

Lastly, World 6 can be brutal and will eradicate your team composition if not optimized and build well. 

Operation Briefing 

You can easily farm about 100 EXP from each successful task of Operation Briefing.

Moving on, another way I use to gain easy EXP is by doing the Operation Briefing, a handbook that slowly introduces Star Rail’s concept to newer players.

Part One 

Part one grants 50 jades, 4 Adventure Logs, 2 COndensed Aether, and 10000 credits. Below I will mention the missions.

Part Two 

For part two, it continues to be one of the Best Ways for me To Level Up, and it grants 50 stellar jades, one 4 star Light Cone, 6 level-up materials, and credits. 

Part Three

Below, I will mention the missions of Part 3 that will grant level-up EXP so that you can progress faster. 

Part Four 

As far as part four is concerned, the missions are as follows will grant faster EXP. 

Part Five 

For part five, the missions that give EXP, I will list them below.

Part Six 

Part Six grants 100 jades, one pass, credits, and 3 advanced level-up materials and exp with the missions listed below. 

Part Seven 

Four missions will grant Trailblaze EXP that will help you progress further. Heere, I will mention them.

Part Eight 

For part eight, it will gift 100 Stellar Jades, 1 standard pass, level-up materials, as well as 45000 credits. 

Part Nine 

The Part Nine of the Operation Briefing will grant 100 Jades, one Musketeer’s Coarse Leather Gloves, 5 relic EXP and 50000 credits. 

Other Ways To Level Up Fast 

Other than this, a few other things can help push your Trailblaze EXP up.

• You can burn through countless side and hidden quests once you start Honkai Star Rail first, and most side quests will grant 100-250 EXP. 
• Main Missions are unmissable and are the fastest way to level up, as they are level locked. 
• Grinding chests and puzzles can grant anywhere from 5-30 EXP. 

My Take

And that’s just about it! All that Honkai Star Rail Best Ways To Level Up, and with that, let’s wrap up the guide! I’ve got a long history in the realms of Honkai Star Rail. I’ve tested and tried many methods to level up as quickly as possible, and these ways worked out to be the most efficient. So, try them out and progress in the game in the most efficient way.

While you’re here, why not read the Honkai Star Rail Bronya Build guide, which details the best light cones, best relics, and traces for Bronya? Alongside that, the Honkai Star Rail Cyrille guide talks about who Cyrille is and what her back story is. 

Other than that, the Tingyun Build Honkai Star Rail guide is a must-read for all Tignyun mains! Lastly, the Honkai Star Rail Healers guide is a must-read to know which ones are best for playing and battling!
