They can also be used to buy new ships when you go up in rank. That’s a good thing, too, as you need them for equipment, buying items that are used in a specific mission type (Duty Officer Assignments), and for Fleet-based operations. Unlike Dilithium, you do get Energy Credits for literally everything. The main thing you’re going to be using is Energy Credits. They’re a whole other thing on their own, but not technically a currency so I won’t go into detail. You can also buy Phoenix Prize Packs, which give you a random token that you can use to redeem something that’s not on sale anywhere. The only “get rich quick” scheme is to refine your 1,000 per day with multiple characters on your account, but then it’s not exactly easy to get the refined Dilithium to your main account.īut enough about that, you can actually buy items with Dilithium! Ships, hanger pets, weapons, equipment, the usual. So yes, clearly you’re going to need to sink the better part of a year into refining. If you want to buy anything with Zen, you’re going to need over 1,000, usually closer to 3,000 Zen. On an average day, one Zen will cost about 430 Dilithium. When you have enough refined Dilithium, you can buy Zen from other players. There are a couple of ways to increase it, but that still only lets you get 1,500 extra every three days. To use it, you need to refine it - which you can only do 8,000 worth of refining per day. You get Dilithium for almost everything you do, and you can get a bunch more by literally mining it on an asteroid in the Alpha Quadrant.
It’s called Zen, and you can buy it using the in-game currency called Dilithium, but it’s a hell of a lot easier to get it for real money. Of course, it’s an MMO which means that it has a premium currency available for real money. Admittedly, if you grind the area for as long as it’s available, you could probably buy everything that’s on sale, as none of it is actually expensive. You can get weapons that only work in Wonderland, or you can get a bunch of cosmetic items such as jumpers and woolly hats. 28 available currencies, and that’s forgetting about the eight which were removed in 2011!įor reference, here are the seven Wonderland currencies, used to buy items that are largely only useful in Wonderland: These are available year-round, and technically one of the currencies has 14 varieties. But Star Trek Online has seven other currencies. Granted, the Wonderland event only happens twice a year, so you only have to worry about your inventory for a few weeks out of 52.
What makes it a little more awkward is that each of the seven currencies take up inventory space, and this being an MMO inventory space is obviously at a premium. There are some exclusive items available from the sellers in the Wonderland, too, which of course use the currency that’s only available there. Whilst there you can participate in loads of events such as pie-eating, snowball fights, Klingon ice fishing, and fighting Borg snowmen. The limited-time Wonderland event transports you to a special zone. It was only when I noticed that I had 29 of the limited-time Q’s Winter Wonderland currency - spread across seven different types of currency, that I realised it has a massive issue with money. I’ve been playing Star Trek Online for a while now, but I recently grasped that it has a problem. Articles // 5th Jan 2021 - 2 years ago // By Andrew Duncan Star Trek Online’s Many Currencies
