Currencies & Items
Kana's economy runs on a handful of currencies and consumable items. Your Gold balance is shown on your profile, while everything else is stored in your inventory and can be viewed with the [p]inventory [i, inv] command.
Currencies
| Currency | What it is | How to get it | Used for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | The everyday soft currency. | Daily rewards, sacrificing cards, burning shades, mastery levels, and leaderboard prizes. | Card upgrades, alias rolls, and buying on the Bazaar. |
| Lumin | A special, deliberately scarce currency. | Voting for the bot (1 per vote), completing achievements, and certain mastery rewards. | Buying Extra Drops and Extra Grabs. |
| Ruby | The premium currency. | Purchased with real money, plus a little from mastery levels and top leaderboard placements. | Mirror Swaps, premium frames, restoring shade resonance, the Black Market, and other cosmetics. |
