In the table below, we’ve provided a full rundown of each currency, and what they can be exchanged for in the game.

Currency	Purpose
Credits	Credits are the most common currency found in Honkai Star Rail. They can be used to purchase items from Merchants, as well as Light Cones and character upgrades. Credits can be frequently obtained by completing various quests and activities in the game.
Stellar Jade	Stellar Jade is primarily used to purchase banner pulls for new characters and Light Cones. Players can earn Stellar Jade by completing quests and taking part in events in Honkai Star Rail.
Oneiric Shards	Oneiric Shards act as Honkai Star Rail’s premium currency, and they can only be obtained by purchasing them with real-world money. Once players have the Shards, they can be exchanged for Stellar Jade on a 1:1 basis.
Star Rail Pass	A Star Rail Pass can be exchanged for 1 permanent banner pull in the game, and players can buy them in the game for 160 Stellar Jade each.
Star Rail Special Pass	A Star Rail Special pass can be exchanged for 1 pull on a limited banner in Honkai Star Rail. Like the normal Star Rail Pass, they cost 160 Stellar Jade each.
Undying Starlight	For every banner pull that earns you a 3-star of the lower-rated item in Honkai Star Rail, you’ll earn Undying Starlight. This currency can be used to obtain low-level items from the in-game store, including level-up materials.
Undying Embers	Every time you gain a duplicate of a 4 or 5-star item through a banner pull in Honkai Star Rail, you’ll earn some Undying Embers. These can be used to purchase high-value items from the in-game store, including characters.
