In real life, taking things off the table or boxes will certainly be frowned upon, but fortunately, this doesn’t apply in games like Honkai: Star Rail. People can take any items they want without anyone saying anything, or so one may think.

While exploring the Xianzhou Luofu in Honkai: Star Rail, players will come across some circumstances where they’re getting scolded for trying to take some things like it’s theirs. For example, the Chest in Astrum's Palace, or the item on the counter of Jeweler’s Pagoda. Following the request of Pawnbroker Handian, players will eventually get A Bottle of Draconic Tears in Honkai: Star Rail and they can trade it for some goodies.

How To Get Draconic Tears In Honkai: Star Rail

Players have to follow multiple steps to get Draconic Tears in Honkai: Star Rail, but it starts with visiting the Jeweler’s Pagoda in Xianzhou Luofu’s Central Starskiff Haven. Investigate the counter, and the Pawnbroker will say that players can’t take things just like that.

Eventually, Handian allows people to take the item, but they must hand it to a person who has been muttering something about revenge near the pawnshop.

Approach the Frowning Young Man right across the Jeweler’s Pagoda, and give him the item, and he’ll hand Trailblazers an Iron Box in return. From here, players can continue to the next location, or speak to Handian again to hear more about her insight.

Next, head to the Exalting Sanctum and visit the Spare Time Book Shop. An event will trigger immediately when players approach the shop, where there’s a Sad Woman looking for an Iron Box. Hand her the item from the Frowning Man, and she’ll reward players with A Bottle of Draconic Tears as a thank-you gift.

How To Use Draconic Tears In Honkai: Star Rail

To use the Draconic Tears in Honkai: Star Rail, players must approach an IPC Specialist called Howard northeast of the pawnshop. Speak to the man until players have the option to hand him the Draconic Tears, and he’ll give Trailblazers these items as a reward:

  • Stellar Jade x10
  • Strale x10
  • Credit x5000

Although the main character's first impression is that it's a jar of marble, Draconic Tears is actually said to be a valuable item. However, as it's a legend for Outworlders, Howard is yet to see a real one. Players can learn from the item description that it's a mineral produced by some kind of creature, and many believed it's a solidified drakons' tears.

Other than the handy Stellar Jade reward, the Strale from Howard can also be used to purchase items in the pawnshop, with the Fire Trailblazer’s Eidolon in Honkai: Star Rail being the top item to buy. Each Shadow of Preservation will cost 250 Strale, and players can get up to four, meaning 1000 Strales are required. To get this currency, the best source is by collecting Treasure Chests in Honkai: Star Rail Xianzhou Luofu, but following some missions or hidden tasks can also reward this region-exclusive currency.

Honkai: Star Rail is now available on Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
