Sword x Staff Seasons Guide: Primo Stars and Season 2

What a season means here

Community consensus (EOG Important Tips / Season 2 Preparation, cross-read with QY Maple’s S2 videos): past certain thresholds, power resets at season end; only permanent currency (Astral) carries forward. Season 1 ran in Verdantglade–Aqualis; Season 2 is Loong Haven (July 2026), which brought the Panda pet, Gem Tower, skill skins and new dungeons per community coverage. F2P was told to “relax and learn the systems” rather than grind for Season 1 rank.

Before the rollover: bank

Save Material Realm tools; they carry across and pay out more.
Sell shards — they lose sell value when the season rolls.
Rank up to Champion I so Stamina and Material Realm rewards scale.
Hoard Stamina; spend only enough for dailies until Champion I.

The final 36 hours

Stop claiming Bed EXP 36 hours out and turn off Quick Claim (it auto-collects and undoes the hold). Banked EXP is worth more after new statues raise your multiplier.
One day before: stop claiming dungeon rewards; bank the two extra attempts (runs stack to six).

Launch morning, in order

Claim seasonal rewards. 2. Spend all Primo Stars in the Astral Pact. 3. Push progression as far as it goes before any Speed-Ups or Temporal Crystals. 4. Do your relic pulls.

When to burn Speed-Ups

Only to cross a milestone that unlocks something: Lv. 106 → T4 class, Lv. 108 → Adult Fantomon, Lv. 116 → Tower (gem drops), Lv. 130 → second dungeon (first seasonal gear). Or hold them to cash out at season end for extra Primo Stars.

Area unlock stockpile (Season 2 example)

Gateway Key ×5, Water Mine ×2, Magic Drill ×1, Withering Potion ×1, New Season Item ×7.

Season titles and Season 3

“Season titles” are the rank rewards players chase; searches for “when is season 3” are common, but Boltray has not announced Season 3 timing as of Aug 23, 2026 — we will update the roadmap when it does.
