Money Making Guide

is Blue Protocol: Star Resonance’s primary currency system used to trade with NPCs, purchase valuables from stores, progress your character and even trade on the Trading Center. However, not all is the same; some you earn is , while others you earn may be . Despite sharing a name and the fact that can be converted into , the two currencies couldn’t be more different.

Bound Luno

is incredibly common, plentiful and as the name suggests, is just that, bound to your character, meaning it cannot be used to trade with other players through the Trading Center and is also ineligible for use in certain high-value stores.

Unbound Luno

in contrast, is incredibly rare, awarded in low quantities and fully eligible as a currency for purchasing all items off the Trading Center while also being the only currency usable for purchasing certain items in some stores.

The Trading Center is one of the top ways to acquire Imagine Wills, Imagine Materials, Consumables and more as both a spender and F2P player. But without

, you won't be able to engage in using it much at all.

This guide explains all the sources of

available and how to exploit them.

As mentioned above, sources of

are scarce; to keep things simple, we’ve split each source into F2P and Spender categories.

Guild Cargo

Guild Cargo is a completely free and fairly simple way to earn up to 18k

a day. All you need to do is turn in enough materials and items to Douglas, located in the Guild Center, to fully max out the cargo Volume to earn it, and some other great rewards. The catch with Guild Cargo is most of the items requested by Douglas are life skill items not purchasable from vendors, meaning you’ll either need to spend your to gather them with life skills or purchase them off other players at the Trading Center with… You guessed it , eating into your earnings significantly or even setting you negative.

Fear not! There is a solution to both allowing you to max out daily turn-ins without spending any additional resources, and that solution is to go Fishing. Fish are the only item that gets requested in Guild Cargo that does not cost you or another player Life Skill Energy.

Just like the rest of the items in Guild Cargo, the fish rotate daily. To avoid wasting time, you may want to check what fish he is after to fish in the correct location.

Note

Fishing all the fish required each day for maximum turn-in value will take 20-30 minutes, something that may not be worth it for you.

If spending 30 minutes to an hour a day fishing isn’t ideal for you, then your next best bet is to try to make as much profit as you can. Check all the items being requested and see if any of them are listed for a low amount. Alternatively, you can also turn in items you craft yourself, but those also could have been sold on the Trade Center for

, making it about as effective as buying off other players.

Activity Merits

Part of your daily routine, reaching 200 points in the Activity Merits provides 6000

.

Life Skill

Utilizing your Life Skill Energy to craft or gather items that are in high demand will provide the best results for you when it comes to consistent

income. While it was mentioned in the above section that purchasing items to fulfill your Guild Cargo was possible, it is also possible that you could make more than 18k within the same amount of energy spent. Here are some often in demand items to consider crafting and some notes around when prices spike most:

As you can see, there is no one right answer as to how to spend your

to make some money. You can go for gems or refining materials to try to catch when new gear releases or people are pushing their existing gear for a new difficulty, you can go for people eating food or potions to push their damage, or you can even go for fashionistas trying to dye all of their new clothes!

Dailies/Weeklies

The main dailies that have a chance to convert into

Note

There’s an opportunity to get lucky from World Bosses and get something related to an Imagine, which will boost your gain significantly. Just be sure you are spending keys on ones that people will actually buy.
