Heartopia uses 10 different currencies, each serving a distinct purpose in the game’s progression system. From everyday Gold used for seeds and tools, to premium Heart Diamonds for gacha pulls and exclusive cosmetics, understanding how each currency works is essential for efficient progression. This guide covers all 10 currencies, their earning methods, spending options, and optimal farming strategies.
Players looking to maximize their daily earnings should also consult the Coin Farming Guide for Gold-specific strategies, and the Seasonal Events Guide for event currency information.
All 10 Currencies Overview
Heartopia’s currency system is divided into five categories: Free currencies earned through regular gameplay, Semi-Premium currencies earned through gameplay but with premium-like spending options, Premium currencies purchased with real money, Special currencies tied to specific game systems, and Event currencies available only during seasonal events.
| Currency | Type | Primary Use |

Gold: The Core Currency
Gold is the primary everyday currency in Heartopia, earned through selling items, completing quests, and fulfilling daily requests. Gold has no earning cap and is used for the majority of in-game purchases, including tools, seeds, furniture, clothing, pet adoption, and basic vehicle purchases. Players can accumulate Gold through various activities such as fishing, farming, cooking, and crafting.
For optimal Gold farming strategies, the Coin Farming Guide covers the fastest methods, including fishing routes, crop rotations, and cooking profit margins. Players should maintain a minimum Gold reserve of 5,000 at all times to ensure they can participate in seasonal events, which often require purchasing event-specific tools and ingredients.
Contribution Medals: D.G. Progression
Contribution Medals are a progression currency used exclusively for advancing Daily Goal (D.G.) levels. Players can earn a maximum of 50 Contribution Medals per day by completing 5 daily requests. These medals do not carry over beyond the daily cap, making consistent daily completion essential for steady D.G. progression.
D.G. levels unlock new game features, hobbies, and areas. The D.G. Leveling Guide provides a complete breakdown of all D.G. level rewards and the fastest leveling path. Players should prioritize daily request completion to maximize Contribution Medal earnings.
Wishing Stars: Complete Guide
Wishing Stars are Heartopia’s semi-premium currency, bridging the gap between free Gold and paid Heart Diamonds. They are used for gacha pulls, vehicle purchases, clothing, and special recipes from Doris. Wishing Stars can be earned through gameplay without spending real money, making them the primary currency for free-to-play players seeking premium items.
How to Earn Wishing Stars
| Method | Amount | Frequency | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly Tasks | 50 WS + 2,000 Gold | Weekly (Monday 6 AM) | D.G. Level 13 |
| Gift Codes | 3-15 WS per code | Variable | None |
| Pre-Registration | 20 WS | One-time | Account creation |
| Seasonal Events | Variable | During events | Event participation |
| Login Rewards | Occasional | Variable | Daily login |
Weekly Tasks are the most reliable source of Wishing Stars, providing 50 WS per task with a fresh set available every Monday at 6 AM. Players should complete all available Weekly Tasks before the Monday reset to avoid missing out on this consistent income stream. Gift Codes provide supplementary Wishing Stars and can be found on the Heartopia Codes Guide.
Wishing Star Spending Guide
| Item | Cost (WS) | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Original Roll Cake Recipe (from Doris) | 50 | None |
| Simplistic Mountain Bike | 48 | None |
| Colored Sedan Vehicle | 300 | D.G. Level 15 |
| White Convertible | 750 | D.G. Level 15 |
| Gacha Pulls | Varies | None |
| Clothing and Cosmetics | Varies | None |
The Simplistic Mountain Bike (48 WS) is the most cost-effective vehicle purchase, offering significantly faster travel speed at a minimal cost. Players should prioritize this purchase early, as it reduces travel time between regions and increases daily efficiency. The White Convertible (750 WS) is the fastest vehicle in the game but requires saving Wishing Stars for approximately 15 weeks of Weekly Task completion.
Star Tokens and the Exhibition Pass
Star Tokens are used to purchase the Premium Exhibition Pass, which costs 1,200 Star Tokens. The Premium Pass unlocks an additional reward track alongside the free track, providing exclusive seasonal outfits, animated cosmetics, pet accessories, and a legendary outfit at the final tier.
Star Tokens can be earned through gameplay or purchased from the in-game shop. The Premium Exhibition Pass is retroactive — buying it mid-season instantly grants all premium rewards for already-unlocked tiers. Players who are uncertain about purchasing the Premium Pass should wait until they have earned sufficient Exhibition Points to unlock several free track tiers, then purchase the Premium Pass to claim all accumulated premium rewards at once.
The Seasonal Events Guide provides detailed information about Exhibition Pass tiers and rewards.
Heart Diamonds: Premium Currency
Heart Diamonds are Heartopia’s main premium currency, primarily obtained through real-money purchases. They are used for premium vehicle purchases, gacha pulls, Exhibition Passes, and exclusive cosmetics. While some Heart Diamonds may be available through special events or login rewards, the primary acquisition method is through the in-game shop.
Free-to-play players should focus on Wishing Stars and Gold for their progression needs, as Heart Diamonds are designed for premium purchases. The Free-to-Play Guide provides strategies for progressing without spending Heart Diamonds.
Moonlight Crystals and Special Currencies
Moonlight Crystals are earned through gift codes and events, used for special items and specific gacha banners. Unlike Wishing Stars, Moonlight Crystals are tied to specific gacha pools and cannot be used for general vehicle or recipe purchases.
Exhibition Passes are used for the Gilded Acorn gacha system, with each pull costing 6 passes. Full Wishing Stars are created by combining regular Wishing Stars and serve as a guaranteed gacha outcome mechanic, providing a pity system for players who have spent significant Wishing Stars without obtaining desired items.
Hobby Currencies
Two currencies are specifically tied to the hobby system:
- Hobby Expansion Tickets — Used to unlock new hobbies, earned through D.G. level milestones.
- Hobby Upgrade Vouchers — Used to speed up hobby leveling, earned through D.G. rewards and events.
Players should consult the Hobby Profit Comparison Guide to determine which hobbies to unlock and upgrade first for maximum return on investment.
Currency Priority Guide
For new players, the following priority order maximizes progression efficiency:
- Gold first — Maintain 5,000+ Gold for event participation, tool upgrades, and seed purchases.
- Contribution Medals daily — Complete all 5 daily requests every day to earn the 50-medal cap and advance D.G. levels.
- Wishing Stars via Weekly Tasks — Complete all weekly tasks before the Monday reset for 50 WS per task.
- Star Tokens for Exhibition Pass — Save 1,200 Star Tokens for the Premium Pass, purchasing it mid-season for maximum value.
- Gift Codes promptly — Redeem codes as soon as they are available, as many have expiration dates.
The 25 Tips Guide contains additional efficiency tips that complement the currency strategy outlined above.
