Farming Guide: Castorice’s Ascension & Trace Materials in Honkai: Star Rail

In the game Honkai: Star Rail, farming Ascension and Trace materials for Castorice, a 5-star Quantum character on the Path of Remembrance, is essential to maximize her potential as a DPS character. This enhancement significantly boosts your team’s performance during challenging activities.

Castorice, known as The Chrysos Heir, has been an NPC since Version 3.0 but only became playable in Version 3.2. In Honkai: Star Rail, she summons the Netherwing memosprite, who delivers most of Castorice’s damage output.

Castorice’s equipment is centered around draining HP. When she uses her skill, she inflicts damage on enemies while simultaneously draining HP from her companions. After a specific amount of HP has been depleted, Castorice can summon Netherwing with her ultimate ability. This sprite, in turn, sacrifices its own HP to unleash heavy damage on the opposition. Together, Castorice and Netherwing can execute combined attacks, and beyond that, the memosprite can safeguard allies from fatal harm. Additionally, in Honkai: Star Rail, there’s a unique ability for Castorice that allows her to resurrect teammates, regardless of whether she is part of the active team or not.

Ascension Materials To Farm For Castorice In Honkai: Star Rail

Players Should Run Calyx (Golden) Activities On Amphoreus

To make the most of Castorice’s distinctive gameplay features, it is essential to maximize her base capabilities first, which involves Ascending her to level 80. To gather the initial set of resources for Castorice, you’ll need Ethereal Omen, Echoing Wail, and Eternal Lament. These three materials belong to the same item family and can be acquired by vanquishing Black Tide Creatures. I suggest attempting Calyx (Golden) activities on Amphoreus as they provide opportunities to encounter these creatures, allowing you to collect not only the necessary materials but also Credits or Character Experience Materials such as Traveler’s Guide.

In the table provided, you’ll find all the essential Ascension items needed for Castorice in Honkai: Star Rail. These items are categorized based on their respective level limits and have been compactly summarized towards the end.

Another crucial artifact essential for Castorice’s Ascension is called Darkveil Moonlight. To acquire this artifact, you must confront the Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Gelidmoon, which resides within the Murmuring Woods region in the Grove of Epiphany on Amphoreus. You will need to overcome this challenge 65 times since only 65 Darkveil Moonlights are required. Each encounter consumes 30 Trailblaze Power, so you should have a reserve of 390 Trailblaze Power beforehand. For context, these are the same Quantum-specific Ascension materials for Tribbie in Honkai: Star Rail.

Star Rail, you’ll need a total of 816,000 Credits. If you find yourself short on Credits, consider farming them at Calyx (Golden): Bud of Treasures on Amphoreus. This will provide you with the necessary currency as well as Ethereal Omens, which are essential for both Castorice’s Ascension and Trace-leveling processes.

Materials For Castorice’s Traces (Abilities) In Honkai: Star Rail

Remembrance Trace Materials Can Take A Long Time To Farm

In the past, it was only possible to obtain Ethereal Omen, Echoing Wail, and Eternal Lament through specific Calyx (Golden) activities, as they were not farmable from overworld Black Tide Creatures. However, this has been altered since Version 3.2. If you need additional copies, consider buying them from the Embers Exchange shop. Keep in mind that these items are essential for leveling up Castorice’s Traces and will be needed in large quantities, so make sure to farm as many as possible while also using the Omni-Synthesizer in Honkai: Star Rail to meet her requirements.

Here’s a breakdown of everything I’ll need to completely upgrade my Traces and unlock my full skill tree. This table includes the specific amounts of each material required:

*Note: This is all the gear I’ll be needing!*

Or, in a more conversational tone:

Hey there! Here’s the lowdown on what I’ll need to upgrade every one of my Traces and unlock my complete skill tree. The table below shows the exact quantities for each item:

For Castorice’s Traces, you’ll be using a different collection of items – Bīja of Consciousness, Seedling of Manas, and Flower of Ālaya. You can obtain these exclusive materials by participating in the Bud of Remembrance activity at the Calyx (Crimson) in Strife Ruins within Castrum Kremnos on Amphoreus. Given the quantity required, you may find yourself spending significant time farming these items, potentially for multiple days or even weeks. Don’t forget to process these materials using the Omni-Synthesizer as well. If you’ve previously farmed Remembrance Trailblazer’s or Aglaea’s materials in Honkai: Star Rail, some of those leftovers might come in handy.

In higher Trace levels, you’ll need to employ a special weekly resource known as Auspice Sliver for Castorice. This item can be obtained by vanquishing the Shadow of Feixiao weekly boss found within the Echo of War: Inner Beast’s Battlefield activity on the Xianzhou Luofu’s Skysplitter map in Honkai: Star Rail. You’ll only need 12 copies, but due to restrictions on weekly boss fights, you may have to wait for the weekly cooldown before attempting this Echo of War and farming Auspice Sliver.

Among Castorice’s resources, Tracks of Destiny are included – these are special Trace materials that can be obtained weekly from the Simulated Universe, as well as through reputation systems. Additionally, they are awarded as rewards for specific limited-time events and battle passes. You can also acquire them monthly from Embers Exchange and from the Starlight Exchange shop.

Star Rail, this is the path you should follow.
