A feature of Gods Unchained that often confuses new players is the Star Store.
"Should I be buying things from the Star Store?"
"Can I sell those things?"
"Are there other reasons to HODL my Stars??"
First of all, you can earn Stars by winning games in Gods Unchained. Your first 20 Wins per day will be counted and after that, you may earn no more until it resets the following day (at the same time as the Gauntlet countdown timer).
Each win, however, is not equal, and you earn more for your first wins than for your last wins. Also, each time you earn some, the "vials of Stars" have a 10% chance to upgrade to the next tier.
Here is a chart I made of each win and how many Stars you'll get, plus an average column to account for upgrading vials.
Effectively the first 4 wins of the day are key and can earn you an average of 1417 Stars. Considering 20 wins on average nets you an extra 1200 Stars, it's clear where the money lies. Get those 4 wins a day!!
Ok so you've earned some Stars. Great! Now what do you do with them? The Star Store has a number of options each day with a mix of Core cards and Welcome Set cards.
The Core cards are plain locked cards, they are not NFTS yet and you need to Forge them in order to sell them.
The Welcome Set cards are Shiny versions of the plain Welcome Set cards that everyone gets automatically. They will be NFTs BUT THIS IS NOT AUTOMATED THIS YET SO YOU WILL NOT GET AN NFT for probably months and months. You can still use the card in your decks, just can't sell it!
Why would you want shines? The more shines in your deck, the more $GODS tokens you'll be able to earn in the future!
We don't know yet exactly what Stars could be used for in the future, though in the past they announced that Stars would be used for Sealed Mode entry, at the cost of 5000 Stars per entry. This was a year ago, way before $GODS existed, and with Sealed Mode on the backburner for a while, there's no telling if this will remain the case.
So buy Core cards that you desperately need, if you want, but keep in mind that there may be future uses for Stars. As for me, I only use my Stars to buy up nice shiny Welcome Set cards so I can bling out my decks! 😎
