In Honkai: Star Rail, planar ornaments (space orbs and link ropes) are key pieces of gear that heavily impact your character’s overall combat power. Not only do their stats roll completely at random, but every planar ornament set is exclusively dropped from a fixed world in the Simulated Universe. Every farming run costs 40 valuable Trailblaze Power, so picking the wrong target can easily set your progression back. In this guide, we’ll share planar ornament farming recommendations, and break down which Simulated Universe worlds are worth prioritizing first!
Why Does Picking The Right Farming Target Matter So Much?
Each Simulated Universe world only drops a specific selection of planar ornament sets, and farming for perfect endgame stats already requires multiple runs to get right. If you farm randomly without a clear plan, you’ll struggle to boost your main team’s power quickly, and you’ll waste tons of stamina that slows down your overall character progression. This is especially impactful for new players still in the early game clearing content. Planning out your farming order ahead of time lets you get the most progression out of every bit of stamina you spend.
Full Breakdown Of Dropped Sets By Simulated Universe World
World 1 Through World 4 Drops
- World 1: Starry Arena and Company Concert, ideal for basic attack-focused damage dealers and supports that need extra energy regeneration respectively
- World 2: Wild Spy and Garrison General, both focused on survival, perfect for Preservation characters and damage-over-time DPS
- World 3: Iron Guard King and Wandering Troupe, designed for defensive characters and Quantum/Imaginary damage dealers respectively
- World 4: Thief Park and Longlife Baotang, made for break effect-focused characters and heal-based support units
World 5 Through World 8 Drops
- World 5: Forgotten Court and Eternal One, adds crit damage for DPS and extra survival for tanks, with extremely high general versatility
- World 6: Starry Brilliance and Hidden Abyss Stone, boosts all-element damage and defense, and is the top endgame choice for any single-element main DPS
- World 7: Life’s Resilience and Gravel Palace, designed for sustain heal/tanks and break effect damage teams respectively
- World 8: Slumbering Cosmos and Dream Chasing Galaxy, boosts super break damage and energy efficiency, a mandatory pick for current popular meta teams
Which World Is Worth Prioritizing To Farm First?
Your farming priority will shift based on what team build you run with your main characters, but when it comes to versatility and overall value, most players can follow this ranking:
First Place: World 8 (Best Value In The Current Version)
Both sets that drop from World 8 have extremely high usage rates in the current meta. Slumbering Cosmos is a must-have for super break effect teams, and Dream Chasing Galaxy works well on most supports and damage dealers. More than half of all current T0-tier characters can use these sets effectively, and any spare pieces you roll can be used as temporary gear for other characters, so you’ll rarely waste drops. This makes World 8 the top first pick for most players.
Second Place: World 5 & World 6 (Mandatory For Traditional DPS And Tank Supports)
If you’re still in the early game clearing content, and your main team is built around traditional direct damage DPS, World 5 and World 6 are better choices for you. World 5’s Forgotten Court set adds crit damage for DPS, and the Eternal One set boosts tank survival, both giving you an immediate power boost during early progression. World 6’s elemental damage sets are also the best-in-slot endgame pick for every single-element main DPS, and every damage team needs at least one full set, so demand for these pieces is very high.
Third Place: World 7 (Only Prioritize For Specific Team Builds)
The Gravel Palace set that drops from World 7 is a core set for break effect teams, but if you don’t have a fully built break effect team yet, you don’t need to waste stamina farming it ahead of time. You can wait until you’re ready to build a break team later in progression to start farming here.
World 1 Through World 4: Only Farm When You Are Missing Specific Pieces
The sets that drop from these older worlds are mostly niche, role-specific sets with low general versatility. Unless a specific character you’re building needs one of these sets, most players don’t need to spend large amounts of stamina farming these worlds early. You can fill in any gaps after you finish building your main team, and it won’t hurt your progression.
To sum it all up, planar ornament farming should always prioritize meeting the needs of your current main team first, then sort remaining farming by general versatility. If you’re still not sure which world to farm first, you can’t go wrong with prioritizing World 8. It will cut down on wasted stamina and speed up your overall character progression effectively.
