Hey there, fellow Trailblazers! As we speed through the cosmos aboard the Astral Express in 2026, planning our pulls for upcoming banners is more crucial than ever. I've been diving deep into the community's latest findings, and let me tell you, version 2.6 is shaping up to be a treasure trove of resources. A fantastic chart by a player named nivskis has been making the rounds, and it breaks down exactly how much Stellar Jade we can all expect to earn. It's the perfect roadmap for both free-to-play adventurers and those who like to support the Nameless.
The chart is incredibly detailed. It doesn't just give us a total number; it shows us exactly where all that shiny jade is coming from. This kind of transparency is what I love about our community—we help each other plan our interstellar budgets!
Let's break down the major sources, shall we? The foundation of our earnings is, as always, the daily grind. Daily Training is set to reward us with a solid 2,520 Stellar Jade over the course of the update. It's the perfect, consistent way to farm that precious Trailblaze EXP and jade simultaneously. Never skip your dailies!
Then we have the one-time and periodic events. Both the update maintenance compensation and the new missions introduced in 2.6 will grant 600 Stellar Jade each. But the real jackpots for end-game players are the challenging modes. Combined, Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, and the Apocalyptic Shadow are projected to offer a whopping 2,400 Stellar Jade. If you haven't been building your teams for these modes, now's the time to start!
Now, for the really exciting part—the totals. According to the analysis, here’s what different types of players can expect to accumulate throughout the entirety of version 2.6:
| Player Type | Total Stellar Jade | Star Rail Passes | Key Source of Extra Jade |
|---|---|---|---|
| F2P Players | 11,775 | 20 | N/A |
| Express Supply Pass Subscribers | 15,735 | 20 | +3,960 from subscription |
| Subscribers + Nameless Honor | 16,415 | 24 | +680 from the battle pass |
That’s not all! The chart also highlights some special ticket bonuses. We’re all getting 10 Star Rail Special Passes from the Gift of Odyssey login event. Plus, with the store reset in October, we can snag 5 Star Rail Passes and 5 Star Rail Special Passes from the Embers and Starlight exchange. It’s a fantastic boost for our pulling power.
Shifting gears from resources to content, the whispers about version 2.6's new features have me buzzing. Even though we're still enjoying the lush landscapes and new stories of version 2.5, the horizon looks brilliant.
The headline act is undoubtedly the introduction of Polka Kakamond from the Society of Geniuses. This character has been teased for what feels like eons, and the community hype is real. I can't wait to see what kind of genius-level gameplay mechanics she brings to our roster.
Major quality-of-life and content updates are also on the docket:
-
Herta Store Revamp: This is huge! The store is finally getting a significant overhaul and will start selling limited-time Light Cones. This could be a game-changer for filling gaps in our builds.
-
Simulated Universe Expansion: Our favorite rogue-like mode is getting bigger. A new domain means new blessings, curios, and challenges to conquer. My Preservation path team is already itching for a new fight!
Planning for version 2.6, expected around late October, feels more strategic than ever. With a potential haul of over 16,000 Stellar Jade and two dozen passes for dedicated players, saving up for Polka or any surprise reruns is entirely feasible. My advice? Start stockpiling those resources now, finish those end-game challenges for the big jade payouts, and get ready for another incredible leap forward in our journey across the stars. The Express's next stop is looking to be one of its most rewarding yet! 🚂✨
