Let me tell you, fellow Trailblazer, farming for ascension materials in Honkai: Star Rail can sometimes feel like trying to fill a bucket with a hole in it. Just when you think you've gathered enough for one character's Trace, another one pops up needing attention. But here I am in 2026, and I'm thrilled to share the details about the fantastic 'Garden of Plenty' event that's making the grind feel less like a chore and more like a treasure hunt. This limited-time event is a golden opportunity to stock up on those precious materials we're always running short of, especially with some exciting character reruns on the horizon.
Now, you know those flower-shaped nodes scattered across the maps, the Golden and Crimson Calyxes? They're the lifeblood of our progression, but they can be as demanding as a meticulous clockmaker, requiring precise energy management. Each run consumes 10 Trailblaze Power, and before you know it, your energy reserves are as empty as a ghost ship. That's where the Garden of Plenty swoops in like a benevolent gardener in spring. From August 30th to October 6th, simply by completing the 'Calyx: Bud of Memories' mission to unlock it, you can earn double the ascension materials from these Calyx challenges. It's a simple yet powerful mechanic: complete the combat gauntlet, and your rewards are instantly doubled. However, remember there's a daily limit to these double-reward opportunities, so plan your farming sessions wisely!

What exactly can you harvest from this bountiful garden? The event is a prime source for specific, high-demand materials. I'm talking about items like the Flower of Eternity and Obsidian of Obsession. These aren't just any trinkets; they are crucial for leveling up the Traces of three characters who are about to make a grand return in version 2.5:
-
Luka: Appearing in the first phase.
-
Natasha & Guinaifen: Arriving in the second phase.
So, if you're planning to pull for any of them, farming these materials now is as strategic as building a dam before the rainy season. Beyond these, the standard Golden and Crimson Calyx loot table is also on offer, giving you a chance to stockpile other essentials. Here's a quick list of some other goodies you can expect:
-
Exquisite Colored Draft
-
Countertemporal Shot
-
Divine Amber
-
Moon Madness Fang
-
Heavenly Melody
-
Celestial Section
-
Refined Aether
This event perfectly exemplifies the kind of generous, time-limited festivities Honkai: Star Rail is known for. These events are the game's heartbeat, pulsing with activity every few weeks and offering everything from free characters and Light Cones to the ever-precious Stellar Jades and upgrade materials. They keep the universe feeling alive and rewarding.
And speaking of rewards, the future looks even brighter. Leaks suggest that version 2.5 will introduce the 'Gift of Odyssey,' a login event that's rumored to shower us with Stellar Jades, Fuel, and Tears of Dreams. It's like the game's way of handing out care packages for our ongoing journey through the cosmos. Plus, a smaller event featuring the brilliant hacker Silver Wolf is also reportedly on the docket. Planning for these future windfalls while capitalizing on the current Garden of Plenty is the mark of a savvy Trailblazer. So, log in, complete that unlock mission, and start reaping a harvest so plentiful it would make the most fertile garden planet jealous. Your future, powered-up self will thank you!
