Earning Currency

A guide to earn currencies! -- \*\*CURRENTLY INACCURATE\*\*

Note: Below are ways to earn currency that are, for the most part, consistent. There will be some promotional events that give more bonuses than usual, such as additional Login Bonuses, maintenance/mistake compensation, and other events (Niconico live broadcast, etc.)

## Aqua Stones

### Clear Rewards

* A pretty standard way to earn Aqua Stones. You can visit Misc. Information for tables, but the clear rewards that give Aqua Stones are...
	+ Prima - S combo, S clear
	+ Great Fairy - S combo, S score, S clear (?)
* Limit: 5 Aqua Stones per song. Without the S clears (which take a long time), it's only 3 Aqua Stones per song. (There are around ~17 songs released currently)

### Clear Objectives

* Clearing objectives will be the best boost to your Aqua Stone earnings, especially early on! However, as you can only clear them once, the earnings end up very limited. The following Objectives will reward you will Aqua Stones.
	+ Clear 20 songs of each difficulty (5 Aqua Stones each, Additional 10 for Great Fairy Clears)
	+ Promote 3 -> 6 -> 9 characters to Prima (5, 5?, 5?)
	+ Reach X Level (5, 5, 10, 10?, 20)
	+ Reach X HSP (5, 5, 5)
	+ Make +50, +99 Card (5, 10)
* Limit: ~ 125 Aqua Stones! However, some objectives are too hard to clear early on (Prima Promotions, Level 99, +99 Card), so I would say you can earn around 50 Aqua Stones in early game, which is pretty much one 10 scout!

### Login Bonus

* The permanent Login bonus has Aqua Stone rewards every 3 or 5 days! The 5th day gives 1 Aqua Stone, and the 8th day gives 2 Aqua Stones. Very slow, but very consistent way to earn Aqua Stones with little to no effort!
* Limit: Infinite (3 Aqua Stones every 8 days)

### Participating in (Ranking) Events

* A solid way to earn Aqua Stones is the Ranking Events! It's an even more solid way if you can rank high in the Event Song Score Rankings.
	+ Event point rewards (if you clear them all) can give you 15 Aqua Stones.
	+ Ranking high in event points don't give you Aqua Stones, but they do give you Gacha Tickets, which saves you a LOT on Aqua Stones (Consider an SR worth around 50 Aqua Stones, and a UR would cost around 500 Aqua Stones, based on their probabilities. Also, each regular Gacha Ticket is pretty much 5 Aqua Stones in worth)! In the lower rankings (8th - 12th tier), you can earn a few Aqua Stones (3 max).
	+ However, ranking high in the event score rankings, gives you some big rewards! The first tier gives 30 Aqua Stones, the second tier gives 20 Aqua Stones, the third tier gives 10 Aqua Stones, and the last tier gives 5 Aqua Stones.
* Limit: Quite high... If you can make it. MAX would be around 45 Aqua Stones if you clear all rewards and tier first in the event song score rankings. Realistically, you can find yourself around 10-20 Aqua Stones if you play pretty regularly and have an average team. However, you do earn Gacha Tickets, which saves a lot!

### Buying Aqua Stones

* Ah, yes, the most convenient way to get Aqua Stones-- with money! However, on iOS, it is a bit less convenient, as I will talk about below!
	+ You can buy Aqua Stones on Google Play very easily, as the Google Play store will automatically convert the Japanese Yen to your currency!
	+ On iOS, you will need Japanese iTunes credit. You'll probably have to find this credit by buying Japanese iTunes codes online, or by proxy.
	+ The following table tells you the amounts of Aqua Stones you can buy, and the (Approximate) bonuses to give you an idea about the efficiency of each purchase. The bonus is based on the amount of bonus you get and the base price of 1 Aqua Stone for 120 Yen. You can read it as you are getting X times the amount you would get with the original base price.

* Limit: $$$

## Friend Points

Friend Points, a very useful currency to buy things in the Friend Point Shop! You can buy President Medals to raise the skill levels of your cards, Rosa Venezianas to restore your stamina, and clothes to dress up your favorite characters! Some of these items can be very costly (I'm looking at you, clothes!), and Friend Points is actually quite a limited currency, so I'll be listing below the ways you can try to earn more Friend Points!

### Login Bonus

* The permanent Login bonus has Friend Points rewards every 3 days! The 3rd day gives 100 FP, and the 6th day gives 200 FP.
* Limit: Infinite (but pretty slow! Only 300 FP every 8 days.)

### Clear Rewards

* Perhaps the most reliable and effective way to earn Friend Points! Clear the ranks of songs to earn Friend Points by getting good combos and good scores.
* Misc. Information has details on each song rank and clear reward!
* Limit: Finite (~1,200 FP per song, if you can clear everything)

### Clear Objectives

* You can earn some Friend Points by clearing 10 songs of each difficulty, and by promoting characters to Single. Visit Objectives for specifics.
* Limit: 1,600 FP (clearing everything)

### Buying Friend Points

* During promotions, you can buy Friend Points with Aqua Stones. The exchange is around 10,000 FP for 15 Aqua Stones. If you're loaded with money, this is a good way to get those limited outfits without much effort.
* Limit: Depends on your $$$ or Aqua Stones.

### Participating in (Ranking) Events

* In Ranking events, there are some Friend Point rewards for participating and/or ranking!
	+ Event point rewards (if you clear them all) can give you 3,850 FP.
	+ Ranking in events can give you a lot of Friend Points if you rank high enough! The highest tier gives 10,000 FP, and even the not-so-high tiers give FP, ranging from 1,500 ~ 5,000 FP.
* Limit: Relatively high! Playing pretty regularly (not too competitively with high ranking players, but maybe ranking around 1,000's to 500's) could net you around ~4,000-5,000 FP.

## Coins

Coins! The most basic and abundant currency. Coins are used to level up your cards and boost their stats! Below are the ways to earn more coins if you find yourself short on them!

### Playing Songs!

* The most basic and effective way to earn coins consistently is playing! You can earn 100-248 coins per play depending on what difficulty the song is at or how much stamina you use.
* During events and promotions, you can sometimes do intensive training, which *doubles* everything! It's very useful when you want to save time.
* Limit: Infinite

### Login Bonus

* The permanent Login bonus has coin rewards every 2-3 days! The 2nd day gives 1,000 coins, the 4th day gives 2,000 coins, and the 7th day gives 2,500 coins.
* Limit: Infinite (6,500 coins every 8 days)

### Clear Rewards

* As you play songs, you can try to clear ranks by getting good combos or good scores, and this will give you coins as rewards too.
* Go to Misc. Information, and scroll to the bottom for specifics!
* Limit: Finite (~10,000 coins per song, not including the A Clear on Great Fairy)

### Clear Objectives

* You can clear objectives to earn some coins in large amounts! You can find out what you need to do to clear objectives by visiting the Objectives page.
* Limit: ~14,000 coins currently.

### Participating in (Ranking) Events

* In Ranking events, there are some big coin rewards for participating and/or ranking!
	+ Event point rewards (if you clear them all) can give you ~ 44,000 coins!
	+ Ranking in events can give you a lot of coins if you rank high enough! The highest tier gives a whopping 100,000 coins, and even the not-so-high tiers give coins in the 10,000's.
* Limit: Pretty high! If you play enough, I'd say you can earn around ~50k without having to REALLY compete with the really high ranking players.

### Selling Cards

* You can also sell cards to earn coins (Please take note that Aria ~Aqua Ritmo~ can only sell cards in bulk, so you can't sell your extra +1 and keep your first card). I don't recommend selling everything though because there are objectives that require you to have multiple copies of the same card and such. (That one +99 card objective!!!) Feel free to do so, if you need to!
* Limit: Based on how many cards you have!
