Astellia Online Unveils Cash Shop And Loyalty Shop Details In A New Dev Blog
Astellia Online continues its second Closed Beta test, Barunson gears up to release an all-important feature which will be part of CBT2 testing – the cash shop. According to a recent dev blog, a portion of the second closed beta test will involve testing the Cash Shop and Loyalty Systems or at least an “initial version” of these systems. “We plan to continue expanding and adjusting this system as we explore new ideas, and receive player insights,” says Barunson.
“In order to allow players to fully dive into the shop, we’ve added two items to the CBT-2 shop that will allow players to purchase set amounts of Gems & Zender (Loyalty) currency. Each will be able to claim the Gem Pack a total of ‘1’ time, and the Zender Pack ‘6’ times. Gems are bound, and Zender is bound to an individual character. What this means is if you claim ‘2’ Zender Packs on one character, only ‘4’ total Zender Pack claims will remain on your to be used on other characters. Please consider your purchases carefully, once depleted we will not be able to provide you with any additional currency for the duration of CBT-2.”
Gems are currently valued at $10 for 100 gems. subscription costs 150 gems for 30 days, Appearance Change Coupons are 100 gems apiece, while costume sets range from 120 – 180 gems. Zender, on the other hand, can be earned as part of the daily rewards and can also be used to buy useful consumables from the Zender Shop including Resurrection Scrolls, Unbinding Tokens (Beeswax), and Dungeon Tickets. The Zender Shop also contains an assortment of costumes that can be bought with Zender ranging from 1500 – 2400 points per set.
You’ll find the complete list of items and their prices on the Astellia Online official forums.
