Currency & Coupons
We currently have two types of currency here: Ribbons and EXP! Both currencies can be earned through regular activity in the TCG such as from games, services, and activities as well as from freebies, events, and more— but they are usually only given out in multiples of 1.While each ribbon obtained will always be worth 1, there is a special variant of EXP bottles that will sometimes be given out on occasion. Each of these bottles is worth 3 EXP instead, in comparison to the smaller variant that is only worth 1!
| CURRENCY TYPES | ||
 | Ribbons are the main currency used in the Sparkle Shoppe where players will be able to purchase card packs, choice cards, and some coupons. We may occasionally have limited-time items or special events that ribbons can be used to purchase as well, that might normally only be purchased with EXP! | Worth: 1 Come in Multiples of: 1 |
 (Regular)  (Large) | EXP (also known as "Experience Points") come in the form of a star-shaped bottle, and is primarily used to purchase Career Boosts. However, they can also be used as an alternative currency in the Sparkle Shoppe for items that you'd normally only be able to buy with Ribbons! There will also be some items that are only available exclusively to those who reach the "Legendary Idol" rank; these items will be revealed at a later date once the full inventory is confirmed (and a player reaches this rank)! | Worth (Regular): 1 Worth (Large): 3 Come in Multiples of: 1 |
Currently, there is no option to convert one currency to another! You can also only use each currency for specific purchases as well, although like mentioned above, this will change in the future once you reach the last available rank. There may be special promotions or campaigns where we allow the usage of other currency to purchase items you normally wouldn't be able to with that currency, however!

CAREER BOOSTS
At the moment, all available Career Boosts have only 1 use before they expire! What "1 use" means will vary depending on the boost so please refer to the table below for more details on each. For prices, please view their item listing in our shoppe!| BOOST NAME | # OF USES | DESCRIPTION | USAGE |
|---|---|---|---|
Deck Release Boost (deckrelease boost) | 1 use per boost | Allows you to take 10 extra pulls from an update of choice, and increases any pull-related restrictions/limits by +3 (e.g. if an update allows you to only take 2 cards per deck, this boost increases that limit to 5 cards per deck)! Can be used on a past update you’ve already taken from (even if you obtain this boost after the past update was made), or a future update once posted. | Effective for 1 update only; boost is considered expired once all extra pulls have been claimed from the chosen update. If you decide you don’t want to use all the extra pulls on the chosen update because there’s nothing else you’re interested in or want to take from, then the remaining extra pulls cannot be carried over to another update and will thus be wasted! You also cannot use multiple copies of this boost on the same update. |
Dream Festival Freebie (dreamfesfreebie boost) | 1 use per boost | Allows you to unlock 1 card in your currently active Dream Festival deck for free, without needing to complete its assigned task(s). | Effective for 1 DreamFes card per deck (per boost); boost is considered expired once redeemed. You cannot use multiple copies of this boost on the same DreamFes deck! |
Extra Donation Boost (extradonation boost) | 1 use per boost | Allows you to donate 1 extra deck on top of the regular monthly limit! If using at least one Donation Boost, the Solo Stage character limit is increased to max. 4 decks per character for the entire month, and applies to any other decks donated during the same month (whether they are part of your regular monthly limit or additional donations from a Career Boost). | Grants +1 extra donation during the month it's redeemed (per boost); boost is considered expired once the deck that it was used to claim has been donated. There are no limits to how many boosts can be used in the same month as long as regular donation restrictions are followed! Please claim additional donations on the forums. |
Fan Club Discount (fanclubdiscount boost) | 1 use per boost | Allows you to decrease the amount of decks needed to level up in an oshi or series fan club by 1 (e.g. if levelling up to Gold rank, you would only need 9 masteries, instead of the usual requirement of 10 masteries)! To lessen redundancy, the "Fan Club" in the name of this boost includes both the Oshikatsu and Fan Club activities so you can use this boost on either fan club type. | Effective for 1 fan club only (per boost); boost is considered expired once redeemed. A rank’s mastery requirement can only be decreased by a maximum of 2 decks but you can decrease the requirement for different ranks in the same fan club if you have enough boosts to do so. Cannot be used to discount the requirement for joining a fan club! |
Masteries Bonus (masteriesbonus boost) | 1 use per boost | Allows you to increase the regular mastery reward by +1 choice card and +2 random cards, granting you a total of 3 choice cards and 7 random cards for a single deck mastery! Applies to regular decks only (no Dream Festival or Special Masteries). | Effective for 1 deck mastery only (per boost); boost is considered expired once the Bonus Mastery Reward form is submitted. Cannot be used on past submitted masteries! |
