To maximize your momentum when Season 3 of Sword x Staff goes live, focus your final 48 hours on locking in current seasonal experience, sweeping pending rewards, saving stamina, and holding high-value materials.
Claim Bed XP and Pending Rewards
Clearing out current queues and interface rewards is your highest priority before the server update.
- Finalize Bed XP Sessions: Ensure any active 36-hour Bed XP session is finalized and claimed before the reset window closes. Leaving these timer sessions running into the maintenance window risks losing accumulated seasonal experience.
- Sweep Event and Mail Interfaces: Open your in-game mail, active event tabs, and mission logs to claim all outstanding seasonal rewards. Unclaimed currencies and milestone items are subject to purge or lockup once the reset occurs.
Manage Stamina and Farming Targets
Cap your stamina bar and halt farming routines that yield diminishing returns.
- Stop Farming Obsolete Gear: Instantly cease spending stamina on temporary gear, low-tier zone drops, or event stages that lose utility when Season 3 begins.
- Bank Stamina Refills: Save stamina-restoration consumables and allow your natural stamina bar to cap right before maintenance. You can immediately spend this reserve on new seasonal zones and high-priority reward dungeons.
- Stockpile Baseline Materials: Redirect any remaining mandatory activity toward gathering baseline upgrade tokens and high-tier crafting materials, as these retain utility across seasonal resets.
Primostar, Inventory, and Skill Pull Strategy
Handling your currencies and gacha pulls properly prevents wasted investment before meta shifts occur.
| Focus Area | Recommended Action | Primary Objective |
|---|---|---|
| Pity Thresholds | Pull only if close to guaranteed pity | Lock in known milestones before banner rotation |
| Currency Hoarding | Save pulls if far from pity threshold | Reserve funds for incoming Season 3 skill pools |
| Material Hoard | Retain high-tier tokens and Primostars | Prepare for early-game Season 3 gear upgrades |
| Inventory Cleanup | Sell or clear low-value clutter items | Create bag space for incoming seasonal loot |
If you are far from a guaranteed pity pull, hold your currency. New skill pools and altered drop rates in Season 3 offer higher long-term value than spending resources on end-of-season banners. Use the remaining pre-reset window to clear inventory clutter, organize core materials, and verify your main character build is ready for day-one seasonal content.

Nice guide. I am checking the other HOT articles next.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
Can you add more details about resources in a future update?
This helped me understand resources much better.
