Day-by-Day Reward Detail
The day-by-day reward split is not consolidated in primary launch-window sources. Tencent publishes reward categories but not a day-specific table. Players should check in-game for the current day's reward before logging in. Expect the major milestone rewards (Mengqi, Aurora, the 15-day and 30-day bundles) to appear on specific cumulative-login thresholds rather than fixed calendar dates.
Thursday Double-Reward
On Thursdays, all daily Newcomer Journey rewards are doubled in quantity. This is consistent across the 40-day S0 launch window. Players who can only log in a few days per week should prioritize Thursday logins to maximize cumulative reward gain.
Recommended Login Cadence
The 7, 15, and 30-day cumulative milestones are the highest-value drops on the track, and the Thursday double rule means a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday cadence captures most of the value without requiring daily logins. Players who can log in every day still see incremental gains from the smaller daily entries, but the bulk of the value sits on the milestone payouts.
Always log in on Thursday: the doubling applies to that day's full reward, which is the single largest one-day boost on the track.
Plan the 30-day milestone for the back half of the S0 window so the Aurora vehicle lands while there is still season content to use it on.
Claim daily rewards even on stamina-capped days; many drops are progression items (Encounter Contracts, Star-Casting Grain) that do not consume stamina to use.
Catch-Up Path
Players starting mid-season can still complete the 7-day milestone before the season ends as long as there are at least 7 days remaining. The 15 and 30-day milestones require uninterrupted progress from the player's start date, so a late start typically locks out the Aurora vehicle and the 30-day bundle. Tencent has not announced makeup rewards for late starters.
