Starting with the Forgotten Hall, you’ll gain access to this place after reaching level 21 and completing the “Fleeting Lights” main story quest. You’ll gain various materials as you complete each level, from Stellar Jades to Adventurer’s Logs and, most importantly, Lucent Afterglow.

Each week, you can attempt Echo of War three times, each costing 30 Trailblaze Power. Once you complete it successfully, you’ll get various rewards, including Light Cones, relics and Lucent Afterglow.
