Illusion Connect Re Currency Guide
Illusion Connect Re has multiple currency types, each with its own earning method and optimal spending strategy. Mismanaging your currencies is the most common mistake new players make. This guide breaks down every currency and how to use them efficiently.
Premium Currencies
| Currency | Earning Method | Primary Use | Spending Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamonds | Missions, Arena, events, purchases | Limited banner pulls, stamina refreshes | Save for limited banners only |
| Summon Tickets | Events, login rewards, shops | Standard and limited banner pulls | Use on rate-up banners |
| Stamina Potions | Events, level-up rewards, passes | Extra stamina for farming | Save for event launches |
Free Currencies
Gold is the basic currency used for enhancement and leveling. It becomes a bottleneck in the mid-game. Farm gold from the gold dungeon (available daily) and avoid wasting it on low-priority upgrades. Guild coins should be spent on summon tickets and SSR shards from the guild shop.
Event Currencies
Each event introduces a temporary currency. Always prioritize buying exclusive items (limited Illusionists, limited gear) from the event shop before standard materials. Unexchanged event currency is lost when the event ends.
Long-Term Currency Strategy
Free-to-play players should maintain a Diamond reserve of at least 7,200 (enough for one pity on a limited banner). Spend only what exceeds this reserve. See our Resource Management Guide for a complete budgeting strategy.
FAQ
- What is the best currency to buy with real money?
- The monthly pass (3,000 Diamonds over 30 days) offers the best value. The battle pass is second-best. Direct Diamond packs are poor value.
- How many Diamonds can I earn per month as F2P?
- A consistent F2P player can earn approximately 8,000-10,000 Diamonds per month from all sources combined.
- Should I buy gear from the shop with gold?
- No. Only buy gear from the shop if it has perfect main stats and at least two useful substats. Gold is better spent on enhancement.
