Understanding the Treasure Hunt Ticket System
What Are Treasure Hunt Tickets?
Treasure Hunt Tickets are special currency earned exclusively by spending Trailblaze Power on farming activities. Every domain clear—Calyx (Golden), Calyx (Crimson), Cavern of Corrosion, or Stagnant Shadow—rewards tickets proportional to Power spent. These unlock limited-time Treasure Hunt events featuring Self-Modeling Resin and substantial Stellar Jade quantities.
The system operates independently from regular Trailblaze Power economy. While your 240-point capacity regenerates at 1 per 6 minutes, tickets accumulate passively during daily farming without requiring extra time investment.

The 100 Ticket Cap: Hard Limit Mechanics
The cap functions as a strict 100-ticket maximum. Once reached, additional tickets from Trailblaze Power expenditure disappear permanently—no queue, no overflow, no conversion. This creates urgency for players farming intensively during double-drop events like Garden of Plenty (January 28 onward).
Unlike Reserve Trailblaze Power storing up to 2400 points, Treasure Hunt Tickets lack overflow protection. The cap remains constant regardless of Trailblaze Level or Equilibrium Level.
Version 3.0 increased regular Trailblaze Power capacity from 240 to 300, but Treasure Hunt Ticket limits stayed at 100. Players with higher power caps hit ticket limits faster during intensive farming sessions.
Ticket Sources
Tickets generate automatically from all Trailblaze Power consumption:
- Calyx (Golden): Character XP materials, Light Cone enhancement
- Calyx (Crimson): Trace upgrade materials
- Cavern of Corrosion: Relic farming
- Stagnant Shadow: Character Ascension materials
- Echo of War: Weekly boss materials
Ticket-to-power ratio stays consistent across activities—40 Power on Calyx yields same tickets as 40 on Cavern. This uniform conversion simplifies planning.
Garden of Plenty events (starting January 28) double Calyx material drops without increasing Power costs, making these periods ideal for simultaneous ticket farming and resource stockpiling. However, accelerated ticket generation increases cap-hitting risk.
The Critical Problem: What Happens at 100 Tickets
Tickets Get Wasted—No Overflow
Tickets exceeding 100-cap vanish immediately with no compensation, refund, or conversion. The game provides no warning notification when approaching the cap—you must manually check ticket inventory. This silent overflow has caused players to lose dozens of tickets during extended farming sessions.
No grace periods or temporary storage exist. Your 101st ticket disappears the moment it would be credited. This differs from Trailblaze Power's Reserve system, which continues accumulating up to 2400 points.
Testing confirms tickets earned at cap contribute zero value—they don't convert to Jades, Fuel, or Power refunds. The loss is absolute and permanent.
Why the Cap Matters
The 100-ticket limit directly impacts Self-Modeling Resin acquisition rates. Underground Treasure Hunt events (August 9 12:00 to August 28 03:59 server time) require systematic ticket spending to unlock all 5 Ancient Ruins. Each ruin contains 8 Surface Exploration floors plus 6 Deep Exploration levels, with tiles costing 1 stamina point.
Completing all second-floor Deep Exploration sections across all Ancient Ruins rewards exactly 1 Self-Modeling Resin—premium currency for changing 5-star Relic main stats. Surface Exploration provides 200 Stellar Jades and 15 Obsidian of Desolation per ruin. Total completion yields 1 Self-Modeling Resin + 1000 Stellar Jades.
Missing ticket accumulation delays access to these rewards. Since events run on limited schedules (January 28 to February 12 current cycle), hitting cap mid-event forces you to pause farming, disrupting optimal Power spending patterns.
Real Player Experience
Mid-game players farming Relics typically spend 180-240 Trailblaze Power daily. At 40 Power per run, this generates 4.5-6 runs daily. Over 14-day events, passive farming generates 60-80+ tickets.
Players stockpiling tickets for later frequently discover they've been capped for days, losing 20-30 tickets worth of rewards. This becomes costly during overlapping events—when Garden of Plenty coincides with Treasure Hunt, accelerated farming doubles ticket generation, making cap overflow nearly inevitable without proactive spending.
The tendency to save for better rewards backfires. Unlike gacha currency, Treasure Hunt rewards remain fixed per event. Delaying ticket spending provides zero strategic advantage while creating substantial overflow risk.
Exact Trailblaze Power Requirements
Power Cost per Treasure Hunt Type
Underground Treasure Hunt operates on stamina-based system separate from Trailblaze Power. Each Ancient Ruin provides starting stamina that regenerates as you progress. Opening new floors restores 8 stamina points; each tile exploration consumes 1 stamina. This creates self-sustaining loops where strategic pathing maximizes coverage without depletion.
Deep Exploration requires completing all Surface floors first. The 6 Deep levels per ruin demand careful stamina management—rushing Surface floors without collecting refills can leave you unable to complete Deep sections where Resin rewards await.
Total Power for 100 Tickets
Generating 100 Treasure Hunt Tickets requires approximately 4000 Trailblaze Power based on observed conversion rates. With regular capacity at 240 points (300 post-Version 3.0) and regeneration at 1 per 6 minutes, you naturally generate 240 points daily. Reserve Power adds 80 daily when regular capacity stays maxed, providing 320 total daily regeneration.
Reaching 100 tickets through passive regeneration takes roughly 12-13 days of consistent farming. Most players accumulate faster during double-drop events when actively draining Reserve stores and using Fuel.
For efficient management, Honkai Star Rail Oneiric Shards recharge instant through BitTopup enables Express Supply Pass purchases, granting additional daily Power refills that accelerate both material farming and ticket generation.
Daily Regeneration Math
Baseline regeneration:
- Regular Capacity: 240 points (300 in Version 3.0+)
- Regeneration Rate: 1 per 6 minutes = 10 per hour
- Daily Natural Regen: 240 points over 24 hours
- Reserve Capacity: 2400 points maximum
- Reserve Regen: 80 points daily (1 per 18 minutes when regular at cap)
Optimal management requires withdrawing Reserve Power before it caps. Since Reserve regeneration stops at 2400, letting it sit maxed wastes potential accumulation. The 1:1 withdrawal ratio means drain Reserve daily to maintain continuous generation.
During Garden of Plenty (starting January 28), double Calyx drops make spending 320+ daily Power highly efficient. This accelerated consumption prevents both Power and Ticket caps while maximizing materials.
Self-Modeling Resin Farming Strategy
Resin Drop Rates
Underground Treasure Hunt guarantees exactly 1 Self-Modeling Resin for clearing all second-floor Deep Exploration sections across 5 Ancient Ruins. This deterministic reward eliminates RNG, making it the most reliable Resin source for F2P players. Unlocks at Trailblaze Level 40 when Relics tab becomes available.
Self-Modeling Resin changes 5-star Relic main stats through Customized Synthesis. Since Body pieces can roll HP%, ATK%, DEF%, CRIT Rate%, CRIT DMG%, Outgoing Healing Boost%, or Effect Hit Rate%, and Feet pieces offer HP%, ATK%, DEF%, Speed, or Break Effect%, obtaining desired main stats through random drops requires extensive farming. A single Resin guarantees your target main stat, saving potentially hundreds of Power worth of Cavern runs.
Minimum cost for main stat changes is 1 Resin. Using 5 Resins simultaneously allows changing main stat plus 2 substats, though this extreme investment suits only perfectly-rolled pieces.
Optimal Activities for Resin
Underground Treasure Hunt remains premier Resin source, but Wishful Resins convert 1:1 to Self-Modeling Resin. Wishful Resins appear in:
- Herta Store: Limited monthly purchases using Herta Bonds
- Event Shops: Temporary availability during major patches
- Battle Pass: Premium track rewards at specific milestones
Prioritize Underground Treasure Hunt completion before alternative sources to maximize total Resin accumulation. Event runs August 9 12:00 to August 28 03:59 server time—19 days to systematically clear all Ancient Ruins.
Surface Exploration floors provide 200 Stellar Jades per ruin (1000 total across 5) plus 15 Obsidian of Desolation and 4 Obsidian of Obsession per ruin. These materials support character progression while working toward Deep Exploration Resin reward.
Expected Resin Yield from 100 Tickets
Current event structures provide 1 guaranteed Self-Modeling Resin per complete Underground Treasure Hunt clear. The 100-ticket cap doesn't directly convert to Resin quantity—tickets grant event access where systematic completion yields Resin.
Spending all 100 tickets on single event cycle guarantees:
- 1 Self-Modeling Resin from Deep Exploration completion
- 1000 Stellar Jades from combined Surface and Deep Exploration
- 75 Obsidian of Desolation (15 per ruin × 5)
- 20 Obsidian of Obsession (4 per ruin × 5)
Fixed reward structure means hoarding tickets provides no multiplicative benefits. Whether you enter with 20 or 100 tickets, total Resin yield remains 1 per event cycle. Ticket quantity affects how many event cycles you can fully complete, not rewards per cycle.
Stellar Jade Acquisition
Direct Jade Rewards
Underground Treasure Hunt's Surface Exploration delivers 200 Stellar Jades per Ancient Ruin. With 5 total ruins, Surface completion alone provides 1000 Jades—equivalent to 6.25 Warp attempts or 1562.5 Oneiric Shards worth of premium currency.
Jade distribution occurs incrementally as you clear tiles rather than lump sum upon completion. Each Surface floor contains Jade rewards on specific tiles, encouraging thorough exploration. This pacing ensures consistent reward feedback throughout the 19-day window.
Deep Exploration sections contribute additional Jades. Combined Surface + Deep total reaches 1000 Stellar Jades per complete event cycle, making Underground Treasure Hunt one of highest Jade-per-time-invested activities outside Simulated Universe weekly clears and Forgotten Hall resets.
Indirect Jade Sources
First-time Underground Treasure Hunt completion triggers one-time achievement rewards:
- First Ancient Ruin Clear: 20-40 Jades
- All Surface Floors Completed: 40-60 Jades
- First Deep Exploration Clear: 60-80 Jades
Cumulative achievement Jades add 150-200+ to base 1000 from direct exploration, pushing total first-cycle yields above 1200 Jades. Subsequent cycles lose one-time bonuses but maintain 1000-Jade baseline.
Event-specific missions often accompany Treasure Hunt cycles, offering additional Jade rewards for objectives like Clear 3 Ancient Ruins or Spend 50 Tickets. These vary by patch but historically contribute 100-300 extra Jades per event.
Cumulative Jade Potential
Spending 100 Treasure Hunt Tickets across full event cycle yields:
- 1000 Stellar Jades from Surface + Deep Exploration
- 150-200 Jades from first-time achievements (one-time)
- 100-300 Jades from event missions (varies)
- Total First Cycle: 1250-1500 Stellar Jades
- Subsequent Cycles: 1100-1300 Stellar Jades
This efficiency exceeds most alternatives. Daily Training missions provide 60 Jades daily (1680 monthly), while Simulated Universe weekly clears offer 225 Jades (900 monthly). Underground Treasure Hunt's 1000+ Jades over 19 days represents approximately 52 Jades daily—competitive with permanent content while requiring zero daily time commitment beyond initial ticket generation.
Jade-to-ticket ratio makes hitting 100-cap costly. Losing even 20 tickets to overflow wastes 200+ Stellar Jades—equivalent to 1.25 Warp attempts or several days of daily missions.
Step-by-Step Power Spending Plan (Zero Waste)
Week 1-2: Aggressive Ticket Spending
Upon reaching 80+ Treasure Hunt Tickets, implement immediate spending:
- Day 1-2: Enter Underground Treasure Hunt, clear first Ancient Ruin's Surface Exploration (8 floors)
- Day 3-4: Complete first ruin's Deep Exploration (6 levels)
- Day 5-7: Clear second and third ruins' Surface Exploration, collect 400 Stellar Jades
- Day 8-10: Finish second ruin Deep Exploration for first Resin milestone
- Day 11-14: Complete remaining ruins, prioritize Deep Exploration for Resin
This assumes moderate daily playtime (30-45 minutes) and prevents ticket overflow while maintaining regular Calyx farming. Players at 95+ tickets should accelerate Days 1-7 completion within 3-4 days.
Prioritizing High-Value Activities
Focus Deep Exploration completion over Surface cleanup when approaching ticket cap. Self-Modeling Resin from clearing all second-floor Deep sections provides greater long-term value than incremental Jades from Surface tiles. Once Resin secured, return to Surface Exploration for remaining Jades without cap pressure.
Within Deep Exploration, prioritize tiles containing:
- Obsidian of Desolation: Required for Trace upgrades beyond level 75
- Stellar Jade clusters: Tiles marked with Jade icons yield 20-40 Jades each
- Stamina refills: Essential for reaching Deep Exploration's final floors
Avoid excessive time on Surface tiles offering only common materials like Credit or basic Trace materials. These accumulate naturally through daily activities.
Balancing Daily Farming with Tickets
Maintain regular Trailblaze Power spending on character progression while clearing Treasure Hunt:
Daily Routine (320 Trailblaze Power Available):
- 160 Power: Calyx (Golden/Crimson) during Garden of Plenty (double drops)
- 80 Power: Cavern of Corrosion for Relic main stat hunting
- 80 Power: Reserve for Stagnant Shadow/Echo of War as needed
- 30-45 minutes: Underground Treasure Hunt tile clearing (separate stamina)
This split prevents ticket generation from outpacing consumption while ensuring continuous character progression. Separate stamina system means you can farm both simultaneously—spend Power on Calyxes, then immediately switch to Treasure Hunt without resource conflict.
Emergency Plan: Hitting Cap Within 48 Hours
If at 95+ tickets with limited playtime:
- Hour 1-4: Clear first Ancient Ruin completely (Surface + Deep)
- Hour 5-8: Rush second ruin's Deep Exploration, skip optional Surface tiles
- Hour 9-12: Complete third ruin Deep Exploration for second-floor Resin milestone
- Hour 13-24: Systematic cleanup of remaining Deep sections, then Surface Jades
- Hour 25-48: Finish all 5 ruins at comfortable pace
This emergency schedule prioritizes Resin acquisition over Jade optimization. If time constraints force choices, secure Self-Modeling Resin first—Jades appear in multiple content sources, but Resin remains exceptionally rare outside Treasure Hunt events.
Treasure Hunt vs Standard Farming
Reward Quality Comparison
Underground Treasure Hunt provides unique rewards unavailable through standard Trailblaze Power farming:
Treasure Hunt Exclusives:
- Self-Modeling Resin (cannot farm via Calyxes/Caverns)
- Concentrated Stellar Jade rewards (1000+ per cycle)
- Obsidian materials in bulk quantities
Standard Farming Strengths:
- Targeted material selection (choose specific Trace/Relic types)
- Predictable daily progression (no event time limits)
- Double-drop event bonuses (Garden of Plenty multipliers)
Reward structures serve different optimization goals. Treasure Hunt excels at account-wide progression through Resin and Jades, while standard farming targets specific character builds. Optimal play requires balancing both.
Time Investment and ROI
Underground Treasure Hunt requires 3-5 hours total playtime across 19-day event window. This averages 15-20 minutes daily—comparable to standard Calyx farming. However, stamina-based progression allows flexible scheduling.
Standard farming's Trailblaze Power costs provide immediate, guaranteed returns:
- 40 Power Calyx run: 4-6 XP books or 2-3 Trace materials
- 40 Power Cavern run: 2-3 Relic pieces with random stats
- 30 Power Stagnant Shadow: 2-3 Ascension materials
Treasure Hunt's ROI differs—1000 Stellar Jades plus 1 Self-Modeling Resin represent value equivalent to approximately 800-1000 Trailblaze Power worth of standard farming, making time investment highly efficient for players completing full event cycles.
When to Prioritize Tickets
Prioritize Treasure Hunt ticket spending when:
- Ticket count exceeds 80: Cap overflow risk significant
- Event end approaches: Less than 5 days remaining
- Garden of Plenty inactive: No double-drop bonuses on Calyxes
- Character builds complete: No immediate Trace/Ascension material needs
Continue standard farming priority when:
- New character acquired: Immediate Trace material demands
- Equilibrium Level increase pending: Stockpiling materials for world level jump
- Relic set incomplete: Missing critical main stat pieces
- Ticket count below 50: Comfortable margin before cap overflow
Systems complement rather than compete. Treasure Hunt tickets generate passively through standard farming, creating natural synergy where consistent Calyx/Cavern runs automatically prepare you for event participation.
Common Mistakes and Misconceptions
Myth: Tickets Expire After Time
Treasure Hunt Tickets persist indefinitely with no expiration timer. Confusion stems from event duration limits—Underground Treasure Hunt runs August 9 12:00 to August 28 03:59 server time, but tickets earned before, during, or after remain valid for future events. You can accumulate 100 tickets in January and spend them during March event without penalty.
This permanent storage makes 100-cap particularly frustrating. Since tickets never expire naturally, the only way to lose them is through cap overflow when continuing farming while already holding maximum quantity.
Mistake: Hoarding Tickets for 'Perfect Timing'
Many delay ticket spending hoping for better events with superior rewards. This backfires because:
- Reward structures remain consistent: Underground Treasure Hunt always provides 1 Resin + 1000 Jades
- Cap overflow wastes tickets: Hoarding guarantees losses during regular farming
- Event frequency is regular: Treasure Hunts recur every 6-8 weeks, making waiting pointless
Optimal approach spends tickets immediately upon event availability, then naturally regenerates next 100 before subsequent event begins. This cycle prevents overflow while maximizing total rewards across multiple iterations.
Overlooking Ticket Sources from Events
Special events occasionally provide bonus Treasure Hunt Tickets through mission completion or login rewards. January 28 to February 12 cycle coincides with Garden of Plenty, and historically major patches include missions rewarding 10-20 tickets for completing objectives.
Players focused solely on Trailblaze Power farming miss these supplementary sources, potentially hitting 100-cap faster than expected. Check event mission tabs during each patch for ticket rewards, and adjust spending schedule when bonus tickets appear.
Advanced Optimization Tips
Coordinating with Patch Cycles
Major version updates (X.0 patches) typically introduce new Treasure Hunt events alongside character banners and story content. Clearing ticket inventory to 20-30 tickets before patch day ensures you can:
- Farm new Calyx materials for freshly released characters
- Generate tickets naturally through progression farming
- Participate in new Treasure Hunt content without immediate cap pressure
This pre-patch preparation creates 70-80 ticket buffer, allowing 10-14 days of intensive farming before requiring Treasure Hunt attention.
Equilibrium Level Timing
Equilibrium Level increases improve reward quality across all Trailblaze Power activities, including ticket generation rates. However, Treasure Hunt event rewards scale independently—1000 Stellar Jades and 1 Self-Modeling Resin remain constant regardless of Equilibrium Level.
Optimization opportunities:
- Pre-Equilibrium increase: Spend tickets on current Treasure Hunt event
- Increase Equilibrium Level: Improve Calyx/Cavern drop rates
- Farm intensively: Generate next 100 tickets at improved rates
- Next event cycle: Spend tickets again with no reward penalty
This maximizes material quality from standard farming while maintaining consistent Treasure Hunt rewards.
Fuel Management Alongside Tickets
Simulated Universe Fuel operates similarly to Treasure Hunt Tickets—accumulates through gameplay with storage limits. Coordinating both prevents resource waste:
Weekly Optimization Cycle:
- Monday-Wednesday: Spend Fuel on Simulated Universe weekly clears (225 Stellar Jades)
- Thursday-Saturday: Focus Treasure Hunt ticket spending if above 70 tickets
- Sunday: Calyx farming during Garden of Plenty, generating tickets for next cycle
This rotation ensures neither Fuel nor tickets cap while maintaining consistent progression across all endgame systems.
Tracking Tools for Ticket Management
Simple Spreadsheet Method
Create basic tracking sheet with columns:
- Date: Daily entry for farming sessions
- Starting Tickets: Count before farming
- Trailblaze Power Spent: Total daily expenditure
- Ending Tickets: Count after farming
- Tickets Generated: Difference calculation
- Days to Cap: (100 - Current) / Average Daily Generation
Update every 2-3 days to identify generation patterns. Most players average 5-8 tickets daily through normal farming, meaning cap overflow risk begins around day 10-12 of consistent play without spending.
Daily Checklist
Implement simple pre-farming routine:
- Check current ticket count (Event menu > Treasure Hunt tab)
- If 80+: Spend 30 minutes on Treasure Hunt before Calyx farming
- If 90+: Complete full Ancient Ruin before any Trailblaze Power spending
- If 95+: Emergency protocol—clear multiple ruins immediately
This 30-second check prevents most common overflow scenario: players farming intensively for 3-4 days without monitoring ticket accumulation, then discovering they've been capped and wasting tickets for 48+ hours.
Calendar Reminders
Configure phone/desktop reminders:
- Every 3 days: Check Treasure Hunt ticket count
- 5 days before event end: Complete remaining Ancient Ruins
- Event start day: Begin Treasure Hunt participation
These automated prompts eliminate reliance on memory. The 3-day interval catches cap overflow before significant ticket loss, while 5-day warning ensures event completion before August 28 03:59 deadline.
FAQ
What is the maximum number of Treasure Hunt Tickets you can hold?
The hard cap is exactly 100 Treasure Hunt Tickets. Any tickets earned beyond this limit disappear immediately with no overflow storage, conversion, or compensation.
Do Treasure Hunt Tickets expire or disappear at the cap?
Tickets never expire naturally and persist indefinitely. However, tickets earned while already holding 100 vanish instantly. Only cap overflow causes ticket loss—stored tickets remain valid across multiple event cycles.
How much Trailblaze Power do you need to use all 100 Treasure Hunt Tickets?
Generating 100 tickets requires approximately 4000 Trailblaze Power spent on standard farming. With 240 daily natural regeneration plus 80 Reserve Power, this takes 12-13 days of consistent farming.
What are the best rewards to prioritize with Treasure Hunt Tickets?
Prioritize Deep Exploration completion for guaranteed Self-Modeling Resin from clearing all second floors across 5 Ancient Ruins. This Resin enables 5-star Relic main stat changes, providing greater long-term value than 1000 Stellar Jades from Surface Exploration, though both should be completed.
How many Self-Modeling Resins can you get from 100 Treasure Hunt Tickets?
Each complete Underground Treasure Hunt event cycle yields exactly 1 Self-Modeling Resin regardless of ticket quantity spent. The 100-ticket cap affects how many event cycles you can participate in, not Resin quantity per cycle.
Should you save Treasure Hunt Tickets for events?
No—spend tickets immediately when events become available. Hoarding creates cap overflow risk during regular farming, and event reward structures remain consistent across cycles. Optimal pattern spends all tickets per event, then naturally regenerates next 100 before subsequent event begins.
