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 XX presence per day for free (1 Presence is recharged every X minutes).
