Earn and Spend Emeralds at Traders
Collecting Emeralds from Victories
When you defeat enemies and complete levels, you earn emeralds as currency. These are your primary resource for purchasing upgrades and supplies between battles.
Where Emeralds Come From:
- Defeating standard enemies in combat
- Completing level objectives
- Defeating bosses (larger rewards)
- Opening loot chests on the grid
Trading and Progression
Return to your island base after each run and visit traders stationed there. They offer weapons, armor, consumable items, and crafting materials in exchange for emeralds. Prioritize purchases that fill gaps in your current build—better weapons for damage, armor for survivability, or healing items for longer runs.
As you progress through harder biomes and higher levels, emerald costs increase but rewards scale accordingly. Plan your spending wisely; sometimes saving for a high-tier item is better than buying many small upgrades. Traders refresh their stock between levels, so check back often for new options.
