The Star Fragment Hunt

ℹ️ HWS Guide 🌌 Universe & Lore
1

The Star Fragment Hunt is one of the most epic, community-driven missions in the HWS Universe. With great effort comes great rewards — and only by working together can players unlock the full power of the Time Space Continuum Generator (TSCG).

:puzzle_piece: What Are Star Fragments?

There are 7 unique Star Fragments scattered randomly across the HWS Universe each season. These mysterious relics are hidden on PvE planets, often protected by POIs, and hold great power:

  • +1% Elemental Bank interest per Fragment
  • +1 permanent OCD Slot for finding all 7 HWS Star Fragments (unlocks in the next season)
  • A massive amount of HWS DNA and more
    • Up to 5600 HWS DNA
    • Up to 56 000 000 EB Credits
    • Up to 4 Patreon Cores
  • Eternal glory through teamwork

:compass: How the Hunt Works

  1. Reveal & Locate
    Start by revealing the current Star Fragment location through exploration and map progression.
  2. Collect in Order
    Fragments must be collected in sequence: you cannot fetch Fragment 2 before Fragment 1 is completed globally.
  3. Deliver to ECC
    Once you find a Fragment, return it to the TSCG on ECC to activate it.
  4. Global Progress Unlocks the Next One
    The next Fragment system is revealed when server-wide deliveries reach:StarFragmentTotalDeliveryCount / 2 (integer division)This value is dynamic and can change during the season via Star Dust contributions.
    Examples:
  • 100 total required → reveal at 50
  • 98 total required → reveal at 49
  • 80 total required → reveal at 40

:astronaut: Patrons count as 2 players for delivery progress!
:repeat_button: The map reveal becomes active with the next server restart.

:world_map: Solar Map Reveal Logic (Important)

  • SF-1 is visible on the map at season start.
  • SF-2 is revealed after SF-1 reaches the current threshold.
  • SF-3 is revealed after SF-2 reaches the current threshold.
  • …and so on, sequentially.
  • Fragments cannot be skipped; the hunt always progresses in order.

:handshake: Collaboration Is Key

This is not a solo mission. Fragment delivery and unlock progress is shared by the entire server.

  • :package: You only need to deliver one of each Fragment for your own part
  • :globe_with_meridians: The objective is collective, not personal
  • :rocket: Every delivery pushes the whole community forward

:sparkles: Star Dust — Accelerate Unlocks

You can speed up progression by contributing Star Dust directly into the TSCG:

  • 100 Star Dust = global requirement reduced by 1
  • Contributions stack across all players
  • :gem_stone: Patrons only need 50 Star Dust to reduce the count by 1

Because reveal uses half of the current global requirement, every reduction via Star Dust also lowers the reveal target.

:brain: Tips & Reminders

  • You must collect Fragments in order.
  • Check the TSCG on ECC regularly for:
    • current global delivery requirement
    • your personal progress
    • active Fragment stage
  • Coordinate in faction/alliance/community channels to optimize delivery speed.
  • New Fragment locations are seasonal — stay active and communicate discoveries.

:white_check_mark: Quick Summary

  • 7 Star Fragments per season
  • Sequential global progression
  • Next map reveal threshold = StarFragmentTotalDeliveryCount / 2
  • Star Dust lowers the requirement (and therefore lowers reveal threshold)
  • Patrons progress faster through delivery and Star Dust perks
  • Teamwork is the fastest path to full completion
