Oh. My. God. I'm literally shaking with excitement right now! As a die-hard Honkai: Star Rail addict who has spent more money than I'd care to admit on Stellar Jade, this news has me bouncing off the walls. According to recent leaks, HoYoverse is about to introduce a YEARLY PASS in Version 3.4 that will give us constant Stellar Jade at an even better discount than the monthly pass we've all been renewing like clockwork. Is this real life? My wallet is already opening itself in anticipation!
The Yearly Pass: A Game-Changer for Jade Hoarders
Let me tell you, as someone who has been religiously purchasing the monthly Express Supply Pass since day one, this yearly option is absolutely revolutionary. The current monthly pass gives us 300 Oneiric Shards upfront and 90 Stellar Jade EVERY SINGLE DAY for 30 days. I've been stacking these passes for months now (my subscription duration is embarrassingly long), but a yearly option? Take my money NOW!
According to the leak from Sakura Haven (who's been spot-on with previous leaks), this yearly pass will work similarly to our beloved monthly pass but will last for an entire year. That's 365 days of sweet, sweet Jade flowing into my account! And apparently, the money-to-Jade ratio will be even more favorable than what we're getting now. I'm already calculating how many extra pulls this will give me for Hyacine and future characters!
My Jade Addiction in 2025: No Signs of Slowing Down
It's now 2025, and I'm three years deep into my Honkai: Star Rail obsession with absolutely no regrets. With the recent release of Version 3.3 and the "A Rainbow onto Twilight" banner featuring Hyacine, my Jade reserves took a serious hit. I went ALL IN to get her, and let me tell you, the feeling of finally seeing that gold light after 70+ pulls was worth every bit of currency spent.
The timing of this yearly pass couldn't be better. My therapist says I should cut back on gacha spending, but what does she know about the joy of collecting every character in the Honkai universe? Nothing, that's what!
The Economics of My Gacha Addiction
Let's break down what this might mean financially:
| Pass Type | Duration | Immediate Rewards | Daily Rewards | Estimated Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | 30 days | 300 Oneiric Shards | 90 Stellar Jade | $4.99 |
| Yearly | 365 days | ??? (Hoping for more!) | 90 Stellar Jade | ~$50 (speculated) |
If the rumors in the community are correct, this yearly pass will cost around $50, which essentially means we're paying for 10 months and getting 2 months FREE! That's like HoYoverse saying, "Here, have 5,400 extra Stellar Jade on us!" I'm practically salivating at the thought.
And don't even get me started on the possibility that the upfront Oneiric Shards might be enough to purchase the upcoming Firefly skin. I've been saving up for that skin since the first leaks appeared, and this could be my ticket to instant gratification!
Will I Still Be Broke? Absolutely!
Will this yearly pass solve my financial issues caused by excessive gacha spending? Absolutely not! Will I still impulsively top-up when a new character I love appears? You bet! But at least I'll be getting more bang for my buck with this yearly subscription. It's not an addiction if it's discounted, right? RIGHT?!
The Community Is Buzzing (Just Like Me)
I'm not the only one losing my mind over this news. The Honkai: Star Rail community is absolutely BUZZING with speculation. Most players seem to agree that as long as the monthly option remains available, adding a yearly pass is a win-win situation. Some players are more cautious, waiting for official confirmation before getting too excited.
But come on, who are we kidding? The second this pass becomes available, we're all going to be racing to purchase it. The FOMO is real, people!
What About The Next Special Program?
I'm counting down the days until the next Honkai: Star Rail Special Program event. That's when we'll likely get official confirmation about this yearly pass, along with juicy details about what's coming in Version 3.4. Will there be new characters to tempt me into spending even more? Almost certainly. Will I resist? Not a chance!
Frequently Asked Questions About My Jade Addiction
Is the yearly pass worth it if I only play occasionally?
Are you seriously asking me this? If you're playing Honkai: Star Rail, you're not playing "occasionally" - you're just in denial about your addiction! But if you genuinely only log in a few times a month, stick with direct purchases. The pass only has value if you log in daily to claim those 90 Jade.
How much Stellar Jade will I get from the yearly pass?
Assuming it's 90 Jade daily for 365 days, that's a whopping 32,850 Stellar Jade, plus whatever upfront Oneiric Shards they throw in! Do you know how many five-star characters that could potentially get you? Several, if you're luckier than I am!
Will I finally stop complaining about losing 50/50s if I buy the yearly pass?
Let's be real - absolutely not. More pulls just means more opportunities to lose 50/50s and complain about it on Discord. But at least I'll have more chances to eventually get the characters I want!
Is HoYoverse making these passes because they care about players?
Oh, my sweet summer child. HoYoverse is a business, and they've mastered the art of making us feel like we're getting a great deal while they rake in consistent revenue. But you know what? I'm perfectly fine with this arrangement as long as they keep delivering amazing content and characters!
So, what do you think? Will you be joining me in throwing your money at this yearly pass, or are you one of those mythical "F2P BTW" players I've heard legends about? Whatever your choice, I'll be here, refreshing the app store until Version 3.4 drops, credit card in hand, ready to secure my year-long supply of daily dopamine hits disguised as Stellar Jade!
