KNOW YOUR CURRENCY — GOLD & SHARDS EXPLAINED

Today we want to walk you through one of the key systems in Dfiance: Dominance — currency. Here's how progression will work from day one.

🟡 GOLD

Gold is your everyday currency — earned through play, spent on progression.

How you earn it:

◆ Complete Daily Quests and Missions

◆ Players earn on average 2500 Gold per day from quests and missions

What you spend it on:

◆ Chests — a normal chest costs 1000 Gold

◆ Card upgrades — costs between 0 and 250 Gold depending on the card's current level

◆ Card upgrades require Card Fragments of that specific card

💎 SHARDS

Shards are the premium currency — farmable, earnable, and never required to enjoy the game.

How you earn them:

◆ Complete Season Pass missions — up to 1200 Shards per season

◆ Complete high-level achievements — up to 1200 extra Shards (once per account)

◆ Place in Tournaments — Shards are among the rewards

◆ Sell special cosmetics on the Marketplace — note that 20% of the value is lost on each sale

◆ Can also be purchased directly if you want to move faster

What you spend them on:

◆ Special chests

◆ Cosmetics in the shop

◆ Season Pass

◆ Marketplace purchases

💡 Quick breakdown: Gold keeps your cards growing. Shards unlock the extras. Both can be earned just by playing — no shortcuts required.
