Honkai Star Rail 1.1 makes ascension materials easier to get

pcgamesn.com:

Honkai Star Rail 1.1 is about to make leveling your favorite characters much easier. The gacha anime game’s first major update post-release is adding several quality-of-life features including a chat system and new expressions for the Honkai Star Rail photo mode. There’s also some very welcome news for Seele lovers. Probably the most exciting change, however, is that finding those pesky ascension materials is set to become much simpler thanks to a new tracking tool.

Whoever you like to use in your best Honkai Star Rail team, you’ll want those character ascension materials to level up your characters. However, tracking down the monsters that drop the mats you want can be a bit of a pain. Thankfully, Honkai Star Rail 1.1 will allow you to click on ‘sources’ when looking at a material to see the location of the required enemies on your map.

That’s a huge quality-of-life change; anything that means I don’t have to pore over a wiki on my second screen while I’m farming for upgrade materials is a godsend. It’s far from the only such change, however; alongside that is the implementation of a chat system allowing you to actually communicate with your in-game Honkai Star Rail friends.

There will also be new emotes introduced for the Camera mode, with each member of the cast getting “unique facial expression options that fit their personality.” The team also explains that a future patch will move the Sanctus Medicus missions so that they’re now treated as adventure missions. This is because their current placement in the narrative felt “abrupt and forced.”

If you’re using Seele, there’s some excellent bonus news, although it won’t be arriving with patch 1.1 either. Many players have turned to her as she proves an early frontrunner
