Currencies explained
Credits are the everyday money, earned from catch reports, Alphas and chests. Glimmer is the premium-style currency you mostly earn by playing, and it buys Aniipod Ultras, Primegy and cards. Lumin Crystals are the paid currency. Primegy is stamina for boss rewards, Windborn Stamps buy from the season's Stamp Shop, Voxel Coins spend in Astra, and Home Coins run your Homeland. Star Dust, Dewdrop Crystals and Vein Essence are training and nurture materials.
