SINoALICE Medals Guide

Submit Feedback or Error

SINoALICE loves to throw currency items with big, important names at its players. It’s easy to freeze up when you see something like “Medals of Desire” come into your possession and then are told you can use them to buy powerful items and classes. Oh god. What do I buy? Do I save them? What do you mean, some of them expire?!

Take a deep breath: we’re here for you. Let’s go over the medal types currently available in SINoALICE and see what you might want to spend them on.

Charm Medals

How to Earn Charm Medals: Participating in Colosseum battles with your Guild

·   Do Charm Medals Expire? No

·   What Do Charm Medals Buy?

o   Various Rank-SR weapons

o   A Paladin Class for Pinocchio

o   Arcana for select Classes

o   1,000 Twilight Crystals (buyable once per month)

o   A full set of Rank-A Armor

o   Materials for leveling and evolving Nightmares

o   Various Books of Opportunity

o   Various Skill Gems

o   Materials for leveling and evolving weapons and armor

o   Hefty Sacks and Decent Sacks of gold

·   What Should I Buy with Charm Medals?

o   In the short-term, buying Rank-SR weapons to fill out your Gear Sets with better gear is highly recommended.

o   In the long-term, buying Classes and Class Arcana is best (even if you don’t want to use the Classes in question), since you can power the Classes up for Common bonuses across all of your Classes.

o   If you have all the Classes bought and you don’t need any of the remaining weapons, spend your Charm Medals on Skill Gems, which cannot be farmed.

o   The Rank-A Armor is probably not worth it. Armor sets are often obtainable in events, and you don’t need many pieces of armor to max out your Gear Sets, whereas you need lots of weapons and Nightmares.

Friend Medals

How to Earn Friend Medals: Participating in Co-op Battles with friends

·   Do Friend Medals Expire? No

·   What Do Friend Medals Buy?

o   Arcana for select Classes

o   5 Twilight Crystals (buyable once per day)

o   Various Rank-S weapons

o   Various Skill Gems

o   Materials for leveling and evolving weapons

o   Materials for leveling Nightmares

o   Hefty Sacks and Decent Sacks of gold

·   What Should I Buy with Friend Medals?

o   Buying the 5 Twilight Crystals every day is recommended if possible.

o   In the short-term, buying one or two S-Rank weapons can be helpful. Don’t buy too many, though. These weapons will likely be outclassed in the long-term.

o   In the long-term, buying the Arcana is valuable because it allows you to grind more Common bonuses out of the associated Classes.

o   If you have all the Arcana bought and you don’t need any of the remaining weapons, spend your Friend Medals on Skill Gems, which cannot be farmed.

Medals of Desire

·       How to Earn Medals of Desire: Pulling on Grimoires (gacha banners)

·       Do Medals of Desire Expire? YES, a set amount of time after they are received

·   What Do Medals of Desire Buy?

o   Various weapons, Classes, and/or Nightmares that are available on the current Grimoires

o   Lv.4 Dragon Shackles for evolving weapons

o   Rank-SR Upgrade Swords for leveling weapons

·   What Should I Buy with Medals of Desire?

o   Medals of Desire are a pity system to allow players to buy the items they want from a banner that isn’t cooperating. As such, use them to buy what you haven’t been able to pull from any given Grimoire.

o   Since Medals of Desire DO expire, spend them on Dragon Shackles to upgrade your weapons if you aren’t going to be able to use them before they disappear.

Event Medals

event

·       How to Earn Event Medals: Pulling on Grimoires (gacha banners)

·       Do Event Medals Expire? YES, a set amount of time after the event they are associated with ends

·   What Do Event Medals Buy?

o   Varies dramatically depending on the event, but usually there will be a mix of Nightmares, Skill Gems, gear materials, and gold sacks.

·   What Should I Buy with Event Medals?

o   This will vary dramatically depending on the event. However, usually it’s good to prioritize high-level gear materials (which are difficult to farm) and Skill Gems (which cannot be farmed).

o   Always do some research before spending your Event Medals on Nightmares. Some Nightmares are well worth buying; some are not. Know which one is available in the current event before you spend Medals on it.

Royal Medals

·       How to Earn Royal Medals: Through the paid Royal User Service subscription package

·       Do Royal Medals Expire? YES, 180 days after they are received

·   What Do Royal Medals Buy?

o   Various Rank-SR weapons

o   Various Rank-SR Nightmares

·   What Should I Buy with Royal Medals?

o   The weapons are probably the best investment, since you need a lot more weapons to fill out your Gear Sets than you need Nightmares. However, all of these options are good (they had better be, since you’re paying real money for them!)
