Love and Deepspace Currency Guide: Crystals Explained
How the economy works
Love and Deepspace runs on a mix of free and premium currency. Crystals are the premium currency you buy with real money, and they are typically converted into the pull currency used on gacha banners (Wishes) for cards, outfits, and other cosmetics. Alongside Crystals you earn free in-game currency and pull items simply by playing, so spending is optional rather than required to enjoy the story.
Knowing which currency does what keeps you from wasting it:
- Crystals — premium currency bought with money; converted into pulls and used for some shop items.
- Free currency and pull items — earned from the story, daily tasks, events, achievements, and mail.
- Upgrade materials — farmed from stages; never something you should feel pressured to buy.
How to earn vs buy Crystals
You can accumulate a meaningful amount of pull currency for free by clearing the main story, finishing daily and weekly missions, claiming event rewards, and tidying up achievements. Many players run fully free-to-play and still pull regularly.
If you do buy Crystals, two things usually offer the best value: the first-purchase bonus on packs (a one-time doubling on each pack tier) and any monthly card / subscription that drips currency daily. Large one-off packs rarely give a better base rate than smaller ones, so the bonuses are where the real value sits.
What's worth spending on
- The first-time bonus on packs you were going to buy anyway.
- A monthly pass if you log in daily, since it pays back over time.
- Banners you actually care about rather than impulse pulls.
Paying less when you top up
The official in-game store is not always the cheapest way to add Crystals. Prices for the same top-up can differ between the official store and trusted third-party resellers, and the gap is sometimes worth a few minutes of checking. AllMyGG compares reseller prices for Love and Deepspace top-ups side by side so you can see where a given amount costs less before you pay. Always confirm the reseller supports your server and region, and treat the official store as your baseline when comparing.
