Economy

Duskar runs on three currencies. Yen pays for almost everything you do, gold yen is the premium currency you earn in play and trade at the exchange, and star yen is the league’s own reward. This page shows where each one comes from, where it goes, and how players trade with each other.

Three currencies

Currency	What it is for	Where it comes from	Trade
Yen (¥)	Training, healing, shops, flights, attacks, masters	Expeditions, the planet army, work, the market, planetoids	Yes
Gold yen (G¥)	Premium, the gold yen shop, market prices	Rewards, tournaments, the exchange, the market	Yes
Star yen (S¥)	The league merchant, max AP, planetoid attributes	The league, tutorial tasks, starter paths	No, bound to your account

A new account starts with 50,000 yen and 300 star yen.

Earning yen

• Expeditions. Yen events, the orb training and speed test minigames, the wandering sage’s questions, and won team fights on expeditions; see expeditions.
• The planet army. It buys every warrior you do not need for its value.
• Work. Your company works while you are away.
• The market. Other players pay for your warriors, capsules, items and technique discs.
• Later on. Planetoid income, tournament prizes, saga rewards and Diamonds.

Gold yen

Gold yen is the premium currency, and in Duskar you earn it by playing: tutorial and starter path rewards, sagas, the chat quiz, the free daily chest and tournament prizes all pay it, other players pay it for your goods on the market, and the exchange turns yen into gold yen every day. What gold yen buys is open to every player.

Real money can only ever buy gold yen. Nothing else in Duskar has a real-money price, no advantage is kept for paying players, a longer life is never for sale, and premium always runs out.

The gold yen shop sells:

Each main planet has its own planet warrior: Mark on Zalnyr, Reliz on Navis, Maduka on Vevoria, Zorudo on Coth and Myrren on Manus. They are met on no expedition. The planet store also sells a few goods for gold yen, such as the Red Potion, the Weather Staff and the Visual Pack.

Star yen

Star yen is the league’s currency. It is an item bound to your account: it cannot be sold, bought or traded. It comes from the weekly league rewards, from tutorial tasks and from starter path tasks, and you spend it on planetoid attributes and at the league merchant:

League merchant	Star yen
Shield II	100
Ilyari Metal II	200
Death-Tree Fruit II	230
Life Fruit Sack II	250
Xeryn Staff II	300
Space Capsule	300
Belt of Fortune II	400
Weighted Suit II	450
Wonder Water II	650
Navim Amulet II	700
Aureli Cloud II	750
Scroll of Oblivion	3,000
+5 max AP	100 to 10,000 a step, 10 steps

An upgrade you buy there starts at once if no upgrade of its family is running; the rest go to your inventory. See the league.

Shops

Shop	Currency	Sells
Planet store	Yen, some gold yen	Potions, auras, upgrades, equipment, the Time Machine and gravity rooms; 5 bound Red Potions a day for yen
Gold yen shop	Gold yen	Premium, account upgrades, scanner modules, the starter pack, planet warriors
League merchant	Star yen	Tier II upgrades, a few tickets, max AP
Gym	Yen	Endurance training: +5 max AP per step
Healing	Yen	Your team’s health, free below account level 20

Equipment (ships, armor, maps, scanners, healing chambers) is bought one level at a time and installs at once. The planet store also lists the goods it does not sell, so you know they have to be found, won or bought from players. In Wind and Rain weather the planet store and the planet army close; the gold yen shop, the merchant and the gym stay open.

Selling warriors to the planet army

The planet army buys any warrior from your storage for its value, one by one or all at once. Each planet has a warrior of the day: selling that species pays 1.2 times its value, more with the Supplier achievement, up to twice the value. Warriors you mark as protected on their card are never sold. When you awaken a warrior with a full roster, the army buys it at once.

Sell warriors awakened with cheap auras to the army early on: it is one of the fastest sources of yen while your account is young, because newer accounts get a bonus on the value of the warriors they meet.

The market

From account level 15 you can trade warriors, items and technique discs with other players.

• Prices. An offer has a price in yen, in gold yen or both, and the buyer pays one of them. Items and discs are priced per piece and can be bought in part.
• Fees. Listing costs 1% of the price in each currency, kept even if you withdraw the offer. A sale costs 5% commission, taken from what you receive.
• Warriors. A warrior must be alive and in storage, not in a league line-up or a garrison. Its yen price must be above its value, and its gold yen price at least its value converted at the day’s exchange rate; the form suggests twice the value in yen. You can list 25 warriors at once, more with the Taxpayer achievement.
• Buying a warrior. Its level must not exceed your account level and you need room in your roster. It joins your reserve, keeps its training and value, loses the XP toward its next level and brings 20% of its synergy. Nobody can buy back a warrior they sold within 30 days.
• Items. Many items have a minimum price.
• Expiry. Every offer lasts 21 days, then the goods come back.
• Notes. An offer can carry a short note of up to 120 characters.

Some items are bound to your account and never reach the market: newcomer gifts, star yen and Diamonds among them.

The exchange

From account level 15 the exchange swaps gold yen and yen. All players share one pool of gold yen:

• Buying. You buy gold yen from the pool at the day’s rate, up to 1,500 gold yen a game day. Every 10 players you invited who reach account level 50 raise that limit by 200, up to 1,000 more. The yen you pay leave the game.
• Selling. You sell gold yen into the pool for 94% of the day’s rate, with no daily limit.
• The rate. It is set every night when the game day changes at 04:00 UTC: it rises when the pool shrank and falls when the pool grew.

When the rate is low, yen buy more gold yen. Watch the rate chart at the exchange before you trade.

Work

While your account works it earns yen every second, even when you are offline. You cannot go on expeditions, train at the gym, travel or change the team while working; friendly fights stay open.

	Pay	Cap per session
Base	Grows with your account level	2,000,000 ¥
Titan of Work	×1.1 to ×1.4	×1.1 to ×1.4
Belt of Fortune I / II / III	×3 / ×4 / ×5	No change
Fighter / Elite premium	×2 / ×3	×2 / ×3

A belt and premium do not stack: the higher multiplier counts. Your pay per hour grows with your account level, one session pays at most its cap, and your pay is fixed when the shift starts.

Premium

	Fighter	Elite
Price	300 G¥ for 14 days	1,500 G¥ for 14 days
AP regeneration	-	+3% of max AP per hour
Work pay and cap	×2	×3
Awakening chance	×1.2	×1.4
Healing price	×0.7	×0.5
Potions a day	+1	+3

Buying the tier you already have extends it by 14 days. Elite bought during Fighter runs first, and the rest of Fighter resumes after it. Every new account gets 7 days of Elite.

Diamonds and promo codes

A Diamond is bound to your account and opens one draw from its own table: 20-30 Golden Potions, an evolution item, a whole set of tier II or tier III upgrades, a large pack of capsules, one of six useful items, or 5 to 80 million yen. Diamonds come from expeditions.

Promo codes each give one item. A code has a limited number of uses for everyone and works once per account.
