Honkai: Star Rail Stellar Jade, Passes & Fuel Guide
A Honkai: Star Rail code can contain recruitment currency, character materials, Credits or Fuel. The important distinction is where the item can be spent: a Warp, a character level, a Light Cone upgrade or another Trailblaze Power activity.
Quick answer
Stellar Jade can be exchanged for Warp passes, but ordinary Star Rail Passes and Special Passes serve different Warp options. Credits and EXP materials support upgrades. Fuel restores Trailblaze Power rather than directly granting a character or a Warp ticket.[2][3][5][6]

Star Rail Pass vs Star Rail Special Pass
Warps obtain characters and Light Cones. Prydwen’s community guide distinguishes Star Rail Passes for the standard and beginner Warps from Star Rail Special Passes for character-event and Light Cone-event Warps. Stellar Jade can be exchanged for either type. The ordinary pass is therefore not a substitute for a Special Pass on an event Warp.[2]
Credits, character EXP and Light Cone EXP
Mobalytics identifies Credits as the ordinary upgrade currency corresponding to Mora or Denny. They pay progression costs; they are not the EXP contained in an experience item. Treat the currency cost and the required material as separate parts of the same upgrade.[4]
Google Play’s editorial guide lists Traveler’s Guide as 20,000 character EXP and Adventure Log as 5,000. Refined Aether instead provides 6,000 Light Cone EXP. Lost Crystal provides 1,000 Relic EXP. Those last two items develop equipment, not a character’s own level: matching the EXP category matters as much as the number on the item.[3]
Prydwen’s progression guide explains another distinction: ascension raises a character’s level ceiling, while Traces improve skills, unlock passives or add stats. Trace materials and ascension materials serve those requirements; an EXP book cannot replace them. Trace progression is also tied to character ascension.[5]
What does Fuel restore?
Fuel is a consumable refill: one item restores 60 Trailblaze Power. Prydwen describes Power as the resource used to obtain materials from farming and boss activities; GachaBase’s indexed game-data description corroborates the refill effect. Fuel supplies the Power for the activity, rather than directly supplying its possible material drops.[6][9]
HoYoverse separately confirms that obtained Fuel remains in inventory even when it exceeds the storage limit addressed by its FAQ. That statement concerns Fuel items, not a universal rule about overflowing Trailblaze Power.[7]
Wrong-pass exchanges and current Warp rules
HoYoverse offers a conditional correction process for mistaken pass exchanges. Incorrect passes must stay unused; apply through Bug Report > Help Center > Star Rail Pass & Star Rail Special Pass Exchange Errors. Eligibility and approval apply. Warp rules are available through the banner’s View Details tab.[1][8]
Using the items in a mixed reward
Our advice
If a character is blocked at an ascension limit, adding more books alone will not finish the upgrade. Check the required ascension inputs before committing your EXP. If the shortage is a farmable material, decide whether to spend Power on that activity and only then consider Fuel. This keeps a gift of Jade, Credits and Fuel as three decisions instead of treating the whole bundle as a single pull total.[2][5][6]
Reward and resource questions
What is the difference between Star Rail Pass and Star Rail Special Pass?
They are tickets for different Warp options. The ordinary pass belongs to ordinary options; Special Passes serve event Warps. A reward of one type should not be added to the other type’s available ticket count.[2]
