Overview
This guide explains the different currencies, how to get them and how to use them.
Bank and Gems
You can reach the bank by clicking on either
- the bank symbol (the star on the left hand side of the picture)
- the Gem symbol
- the Copper symbol
The bank looks like this:
You can buy gems there or exchange Gems for Copper. The Gem symbol in the right corner leads you to the Gem store.
The exchange rate is 125 Copper for one Gem.
Gems are the premium currency in Uptasia. Using Gems, you can
- purchase a premium account
- buy residential buildings and decorations in the shop
- use the market assistant
- rent an additional production slot in each factory for 72 hrs at a time
- buy hidden object game hints
- terminate the construction of buildings prematurely
- end the waiting time until you can play the next hidden object games
- hire the lumberjack/stonemason
You do not need to buy Gems. You can always play Uptasia without buying anything, though Gems will speed up the game and will grant you special features. Please keep in mind that each game is connected to costs. By paying for Gems you keep the game running: you ensure regular updates and maintenance as well as new contents and – above all – also secure work places. Nevertheless, you can play without any payments at all.
Coppers
Coppers are the ingame currency in Uptasia:
You can gain Coppers through:
- solving Hidden Object Games
- solving quests
- selling products
- Bianca, the cat
- Ulric, the wild hog (pet)
- changing Gems
- the daily login
Magic Crystals
As soon as you have unlocked the Magic Tower, you can gain Magic Crystals, additionally to Gems and Copper:
These can be gained through events in the Magic Tower.
Each event item you unlock, gains you a predetermined amount of magic crystals on top. These crystals can be accumulated and redeemed for exclusive decorations, residential buildings or even new hidden object game factories in the magic crystal shop. You can reach the shop via the following icon:
Furthermore, you can get Magic Crystals
- through Falco, the eagle (pet).
- Hidden Magic.
- though login bonus.
The Magic Crystal Shop is available at all times, and the crystals you gather during one event will remain available even after it has ended (if you haven’t redeemed them, of course).
If you didn’t manage to gather enough of the collector’s items during the current event, you have the possibility to purchase them using our premium currency Gems (during collecting as well as during the redeeming phase).
