F2P players jubilate !
After the exciting teaser featuring Acheron and the newfangled planet Penacony that we ’ve got in The Game Awards , Honkai : Star Rail is announcing more of the unexampled features to be added in its 2.0 version . Some of them include more Light Cones to be bought in the Forgotten Hall and more optimization to the current Relic system .
The announcements were madein the Developer Radio special web log post , where most sneak peep for upcoming content are revealed before official promulgation on the usual Special Program live stream . For case , the last one previewed the upcoming Pure Fiction modal value and we should only get more right info about this one later this calendar week .

But back to 2.0 , the most crucial alteration is doubtless the young Light Cones added to the Forgotten Hall shop . These LCs are the best choices for unlucky players who do n’t own a good Gacha - locked weapon system and are relatively easy to Superimpose for beneficial effects , but many of these result were not useful for many characters .
We still have no information on the upcoming LCs status or effects , but get more divers options is always welcome . This also will indirectly remove the issue of thespian that have tons of Lucent Afterglow ( the Forgotten Hall currency ) but no reason to pass it .
More subject was also advised , such as a better optimisation of the Relic systems . go from 2.0 , players can choose to mechanically level a souvenir to the next stage alternatively of manually lend materials ( going from +12 to +15 in one chink , for deterrent example ) , as well as transform 5 - stars in Relic Enhancement Materials rather of Fragments , or even cast out them if they so wish well . The filter will also be optimized to better display what you were search for in your stock-taking .

For lore enthusiasts , the Orlay Crossroads system will also make its debut in 2.0 , showcasing an exact timeline of when each of the Companion Quests happen in the main floor . While some were well-to-do to deduce , figuring out for yourself where to fit that novel quest was n’t just the easiest project in the world .
We also get the confirmation that for all forthcoming x.0 versions , we ’ll be develop raw Path materials for leveling next grapheme . This will start on 2.0 , so Acheron wanters will have to hold their horses instead of pre - farming for her . New Crimson Calyxes will be added to accommodate this change and the old materials can be replace for the new single , but the textbook suggests that it wo n’t be a 1:1 ratio .
But this is only a small scope of what ’s to come in the biz ’s future . It ’ll take a while until we get more concrete info on more upcoming features , but most of what we ’ve catch was some very high - quality capacity , so I ’m down for wait a second .
