Top 10 Effective Ways

• 1. Convert to Jade (Limited Char): The meta-defining choice.
• 2. Convert to Jade (Light Cone): Essential for end-game optimization.
• 3. Purchase Character Skins: The only items that require paid shards.
• 4. Nameless Glory (BP): Good resource value.
• 5. Express Supply Pass: Best value over time.
• 6. Harmony Supports (E0): Investing in universal buffers (e.g., Ruan Mei) yields high ROI.
• 7. Emergency Fund: Saving shards for the last hour of a banner to hit pity.
• 8. Powerful Eidolons (E2): Stopping at key breakpoints (like Acheron E2) instead of new chars.
• 9. Standard Selector (300/300): Only if you are very close (e.g., 290/300) to finishing the spark.
• 10. Herta Contracts: For high-spenders who value time over money.

Top 10 Wasted Ways

• 1. Standard Banner Pulls: Never spend premium currency here.
• 2. Buying Fuel: Relic farming is RNG; don't rush it.
• 3. Buying Credits: Easily farmed for free.
• 4. Resource Bundles: Poor math/value ratio.
• 5. Reviving in Battle: Just restart the fight.
• 6. Building Pity (Unwanted): Risking your guaranteed pity on a banner you don't want.
• 7. 4-Star Light Cones: Most shop LCs are outclassed by free Herta Store options.
• 8. Weapon Banner w/o Char: A weapon is useless if you don't have the character.
• 9. Converting Early: Converting all shards to jade locks you out of buying skins later.
• 10. Buying Standard 5*s: Spending Starlight on standard LCs is usually worse than 30 pulls.

Reality Check: Oneiric Shards are a paid currency. You cannot farm them in-game like Stellar Jade. However, you can use these legitimate external methods to fund them without spending your own money:

• Google Play Points: Earn points on Android purchases. Redeem 150-300 points for $3-$5 coupons to buy the Express Supply Pass for free.
• HoYoLAB Events: Participate in official community events (fan art, guides, lucky draws). Winners often receive direct UID top-ups.
• Survey Apps: Use apps like "Google Opinion Rewards" to earn small amounts of credit. Save up to buy the Monthly Pass.
