Economics
Your general stamina resource is called Presence, with an auto-recharge cap of 160. It recharges over time, and can be refilled with Baldr Inhibitors. Small inhibitors give you 30 Presence, and big ones give you 60 Presence. Most stages (at endgame level) cost 30-40 Presence to run them.
- In-world currency is Silverbucks, they're green hexagon things. They're plentiful and are expended for levelling your resources.
- Things worth buying will cost you Digicash, they're purple gems. Given to you in small amounts for hitting progress goals, and mostly spent on gacha pulls. 10 pulls will cost you 1600 Digicash.
- Bitgold is the currency that costs you real-world money. They're either used to buy skins and resource packs from the quartermaster, or traded for Digicash at a rate of about 1:10.
Farming values
Seeing as resources can be farmed by running stages, and stages cost Presence, we can calculate the value of various resources using Presence as our currency.
If optimised, you earn 240 presence per day for free (1 Presence is recharged every 6 minutes). At current level cap of 80, this means you want to login every 16 hours and spend your Presence. For me the ideal would be to login before work around 09:00, spend everything on the current event stage, then login before bed and do my daily runs and normal gameplay.

Special event packs will usually be something like X bitgold for 5x gacha pulls, plus some inhibitors, plus some digicash, plus some silverbucks. You'll have to add it up yourself.
