Tips
Although Fluffy is the biggest grind overall, Crimson Calyx is more time-gated. Prioritize farming your Crimson Calyx materials after completing your weekly boss runs.
Trace priority order:
| Priority | Trace | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Talent | Core engine scales CRIT DMG and Certified Banger simultaneously. |
| 2 | Ultimate | Provides the highest multiplier increase per level. |
| 3 | Elation Skill | Improves AoE clearing and generates Certified Banger. |
| 4 | Basic ATK | Lowest priority due to minimal multiplier gains. |
In the Traces menu, prioritize maxing out Talent and Ultimate, followed by Elation skill and Skill.You can upgrade Basic ATK at your own discretion, and there is no need to max it out.
Evanescia Signature Light Cone Materials
If you have enough Stellar Jade and plan to pull the signature Light Cone, Encounter at Flowering's Coming, you can prepare max-level ascension materials for the Light Cone in advance. Top Up HSR for more Stellar Jade, Oneiric Shards and other resources

How to Farm Evanescia Materials Fast
✦ Planarcadia Overworld Route
Evanescia requires materials dropped by imaginary enemies. Farming the Golden Calyx on Planarcadia is the most efficient way to gather both Credits and Whimsy monster drops at the same time.
⚡ Pro-Tip for Crimson Calyx (The Fluffy):
Always use character Techniques before starting your Calyx runs. This allows you to instantly clear or bypass the initial wave of Elation enemies, drastically cutting down your farming time.
✦ Embers Exchange Shop
If you are in a rush and want to skip the grind, utilize the monthly reset of the Embers Exchange Shop. You can spend Undying Embers to instantly buy the Fluffy series and catch up on missing materials.
✦ Material Omni-Synthesizer
Don't forget the Material Exchange feature via the Interastral Peace Guide. If you have an imbalance in your inventory, you can easily synthesize lower-tier Fluffy Storyboards upward into the high-tier Collector's Edition.
FAQ
Is it possible to farm Evanesica materials prior to the release of Version 4.2?
A: Every one of the necessary Evanesica materials is pre-farmable as of Honkai: Star Rail version 4.1. All nodes, bosses, and Calyxes of this guide are now available. The sole exemption is the weekly boss Vanquished Flow Reticence that confirms that the node of the Echo of War is reachable in your ongoing story progression and then counts it to your weekly schedule.
Does the Fluffy Collector's Edition play two roles: Traces and the signature Light Cone?
A: Trace upgrades and Light Cone ascension are done with the Fluffy Collector's Edition line, and hence, the overall volume required is about twice what you might think. Plan your Calyx operations to take place simultaneously instead of considering them as distinct farming stages.
How can the material gap be closed as quickly as possible in the last days before May 13?
A: Sell Condensed Aether, 2 Calyx drops, visit the Embers Exchange store, Fluffy series and Whimsy mats, and use the Synthesis option to convert surplus lower-tier materials. Should Credit farming be the bottleneck, then run the Planarcadia Golden Calyx daily, it is the best Credit-per-TP source on the planet, and at the same time, cover your Whimsy drops.
