The three-year anniversary rewards in Honkai Star Rail Version 4.2 are distributed across login campaigns, in-game mail, and limited-time events. You need to actively participate across multiple systems to claim everything available.
You receive the headline rewards—free pulls and the Golden Companion Spirit—mainly through login activities, making them easy to claim if you log in consistently. However, most additional rewards, including the Light Cone and upgrade materials, are tied to event progression.
You should treat this anniversary as a time-limited resource boost. If you complete all events and log in daily, you maximize both your pull count and your long-term account progression.

Free pulls and Stellar Jade rewards
You can earn more than 30 free pulls during the anniversary period, making this one of the biggest gacha boosts in the game so far.
The rewards are split across two main sources. You receive 1,600 Stellar Jades via in-game mail, which translates to 10 pulls.
Another 20 pulls come from the “Festive Gifts” login event, where you log in over several days to collect Star Rail Special Passes.
Free 5-star character reward
One of the most valuable rewards is the free 5-star character selector via the Golden Companion Spirit.
When you log in after the update, you receive this item, which can be exchanged for a powerful 5-star character of your choice, including options like Bronya, Ruan Mei, Luocha, and Robin.
This reward alone significantly boosts your account progression, especially if you are a newer player or missing key support units.
Main anniversary event rewards
The flagship event “Cosmic Data Roaming” is the core gameplay event of the anniversary. By participating, you can earn:
- A free 4-star Light Cone (“Tomorrow, Together!”)
- Self-Modeling Resin and upgrade materials
- Additional Stellar Jades and progression items
This event is designed to be accessible, so you don’t need endgame-level characters to complete it.
Limited-time bonus events and boosts
Anniversary patches always include boosted farming events, and Version 4.2 continues that trend. You can take advantage of:
- Triple drop rates (300%) for relics and materials
- Improved efficiency in farming Calyx and Planar Ornaments
This is one of the best times to farm gear and upgrade your characters efficiently, so you should prioritize using your Trailblaze Power wisely.
Web events and extra rewards
Web events play a surprisingly large role in the anniversary rewards pool. Events like:
- Phantasmoon New Game (up to 800 Stellar Jades)
- Aha’s Chosen event (bonus rewards and merch chances)
These require minimal effort but offer valuable currency, making them easy wins if you participate consistently.
If you spend during the anniversary, the “Cherished Recollection” event adds extra rewards based on your purchases.
These include:
- Self-Modeling Resin
- Fuel and upgrade items
- Golden Companion Spirit (additional)
- Exclusive cosmetic items and pets
Even if you are not spending, it’s worth knowing this system exists, as it influences the overall reward structure.
The Honkai Star Rail 3-Year Anniversary event stands out as one of the most rewarding celebrations the game has offered so far.
With free pulls, a selectable 5-star character, multiple events, and boosted farming opportunities, you have everything needed to strengthen your account quickly.
Make sure you log in consistently and complete all available activities, because missing even a few days can mean losing valuable rewards.
