The Cash Shop

The Shop (Menu, Shop) is where Starshards are spent. It sells looks, convenience, timed boosts and AUTO-HUNT time. It is built around one promise: power comes from playing, and style is what you buy.

The fairness rules

• Looks are always bought. Quests, bosses and dungeons give you real gear, never a cosmetic outfit. If you see a look you like, the Shop is the only place that has it.
• Content gives gear. Quests, bosses and dungeons pay in real gear and materials. Boosts and Forge supplies in the Shop can also be earned by playing.
• No paid random boxes. Every item shows exactly what it is.
• Lumens are never sold. The Shop only sells Starshards, and Starshards do not turn into lumens. See Lumens and Starshards.
• Ads are your choice. Rewarded ads are optional and capped each day. They never interrupt play.
• Bought things belong to your account. A look bought on any hero is wearable on all your heroes.

The tabs

Looks

Looks only change how you appear. They never change your stats. They come in five groups:

• Picks: new looks, your wishlist and the current season
• Style: outfits, wings and backs, hats, hair, faces, eyes and skin
• Combat: weapon skins, damage skins, weapon effects, auras, trails and Shadow colours
• Pets: Pet Boxes, Mount Whistles, pet looks, mount looks and walk styles
• Social: emotes, name tags, chat bubbles, horn banners, chairs and rockets

A chair you buy is worn for you right away if you were not using one, and a tip tells you how to sit. See Controls.

Tap a look to try it on the stage and see it swing, walk and crit. Tap again for the full card. Press the heart to add it to a wishlist. Pick Idle, Swing, Crit or Walk to see it move.

Seasonal looks appear only while their season is live, with a countdown, and what you buy stays yours forever. See Events and Seasons. A bought look can also be traded once, after a short lock. See Trading and the Market.

Convenience

• Character Slot, up to four more characters
• Satchel Expansion Coupon and Storage Expansion Coupon, redeemed at a storage keeper (see Bag and Storage)
• Teleport Stones in packs of 5 or 30
• Lumen Horn and Starcall Horn in single and bulk packs (see Chat and Emotes)
• Gate Sigils for dungeons, with a daily cap, after your free entries
• Stat Reset Scroll gives back every stat point you spent (see Stats and Ability Points)
• Name Change Coupon
• Pet Harmony Charm opens your first pet slot early (see Pets)

MAX means you have enough. Some items only help up to a limit: bags grow by six coupons per hero, shared storage by eight coupons per account, and a Pet Harmony Charm or a mount's whistle is used once per hero. Coupons, charms and whistles you already hold count too. Before the limit, the card says Room for N more and the amount you can buy stops there. At the limit, the card reads MAX with the reason, and nothing is charged. Bags grow for one hero only, so buy a Satchel coupon on the hero who will use it.

Boosts

• Charm of Rising Fortune: +50% EXP for 30 minutes
• Charm of the Open Hand: +50% drop rate for 30 minutes
• Forge supplies: Ward Starstone and Blade Starstone pouches, Starguard Seal and Anchor Pin

Timed boosts such as Charm of Rising Fortune and Scroll of Luminous Insight pause while you are offline. Log out with 20 minutes left and you come back with 20 minutes. They count down while you are in the game, on AUTO or in the background.

Every boost has a weekly limit per player. That keeps the Shop a supplement to play, not a shortcut around it. Forge supplies are also earned in play, from party quests, dungeons, raids, boss lairs and the guild shop. See The Forge for what these do.

Auto-Hunt

You get 30 free minutes of AUTO-HUNT every day. You can watch an ad for 30 more, up to five times a day. You can also buy tickets (30 minutes, 2 hours or 5 hours), and a Starlight Blessing adds 2 hours each day. AUTO time is a clock, not a right. See AUTO-Hunting.

Packs and passes

Packs are one-time purchases that match a moment in the game. They hold Starshards plus play items such as AUTO-HUNT tickets and charms. The packs you may see:

• Wanderer's Starter Pack from level 10: Starshards, a 5 hour AUTO-HUNT ticket and three Starluck Charm. One per account.
• Rising Star Pack (level 30) and Ascendant Pack (level 60), each with Starshards, Forge stones and EXP charms. Larger level packs appear at later milestones.
• Welcome Deal for heroes who have never bought anything. One per account.
• Blessings and the Lumen Pass are explained just below.

Some packs only show once your phone's store has them ready. If you do not see one, check back later.

Blessings

A Blessing pays some Starshards at once, then a claim every day while it runs. Every Blessing is ad-free while it lasts: ad rewards are claimed without watching the ad.

The Grand Blessing is the Starlight Blessing plus a Grand tier on top (60 + 90 Starshards, 2 + 2 hours).

How you collect. Blessings do not come by mail. Once a day (the day resets at 00:00 UTC) a red dot appears on your wallet. Tap it and press CLAIM on the Deals page. The AUTO-HUNT time goes into your AUTO-HUNT time. If you already claimed today before buying the Grand Blessing, its bigger claim starts with tomorrow's.

Buying again adds days. Buy a Blessing while it runs and the days (30, or 7 for the Weekly) are added to the end. It never doubles the daily claim. That is why the card stays for sale. While the Grand tier runs, its card shows ACTIVE with the days left.

The Lumen Pass

The premium track unlocks the premium rewards of the season's pass (40 tiers). Each premium tier pays 30 Starshards, and tier 40 adds 100 more: 1,300 Starshards over the season. You also get 5 hours of AUTO-HUNT in total (30 minutes every 4th tier) and two capes, at tier 20 and tier 40.

These rewards are not paid at once. Claim them tier by tier in the Lumen Pass window as your pass levels up. Tiers you already reached when you unlock are ready to claim right away. The pass levels from kills (daily cap), daily quests, side quests, main quests and party quests. See Events and Seasons.

Lumen Pass+ is the premium track plus 10 tiers at once: it lifts your pass 10 tiers from where you are. The premium track can be bought once a season, and the Shop then shows OWNED.

How each purchase arrives

• Blessings: claim every day on the Deals page.
• Lumen Pass: claim tier by tier in the Lumen Pass window.
• Starshards: added to your wallet at once.
• AUTO-HUNT time: added at once.
• Items: go to your bag at once.

Rewards for regular shoppers

• Buying a Blessing in its last three days, or in the three days after it ends, adds bonus Starshards. Early stacking gets no bonus.
• The spend ladder on the Deals page rewards what you spend each month with AUTO-HUNT time and a few Starshards back. It never gives stats, Forge items or looks.

Gifting

Buy a look, a rocket pack or the season's Lumen Pass for a friend, a guildmate or a hero you partied with. Tap SEND A GIFT at the top of the Shop, or GIFT beside BUY on any item marked with a small gift jewel. You pay with Starshards, the gift arrives in their Mailbox, and it belongs to them: it cannot be traded or gifted on. See Gifting for who can get one, the weekly limits and how to say thanks.

Buying safely

• Starshards are bought through your device's store. Prices differ by store and country, so check the price on the store sheet.
• Every Shop purchase is confirmed with a hold-to-buy button so you do not buy by accident.
• Items from the Shop are bound to you. They cannot be traded, except for a one-time look trade (see Trading and the Market).

New looks for The Unlit

From level 120 the Shop sells looks for the new lands, all for appearance only:

• The Shadowbound Set, six pieces in night and gold, and its hat and cape alone.
• Halfnight Ink, a damage skin with night-ink numbers rimmed in gold.
• Five Shadow colours: Gilded, Emberwake, Rimefrost, Nightbloom and Starwhite. They colour your Awakening twin and, after The Ninth Gate, your shadow. Find them under Looks, in the Combat group.
• The Unlit Collection, the set, Halfnight Ink and Gilded Shadow together at a discount.

The Eclipse Shadow is never sold. It is a gift of The Long Shadow. Home furnishings and styles are described in Starhavens.
