KNOW YOUR CURRENCY β€” GOLD & SHARDS EXPLAINED

Dfiance: Dominance Β· published 17 Jun 2026, 10:19 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Today we want to walk you through one of the key systems in Dfiance: Dominance β€” currency. Here's how progression will work from day one.

🟑 GOLD

Gold is your everyday currency β€” earned through play, spent on progression.

How you earn it:

β—† Complete Daily Quests and Missions

β—† Players earn on average 2500 Gold per day from quests and missions

What you spend it on:

β—† Chests β€” a normal chest costs 1000 Gold

β—† Card upgrades β€” costs between 0 and 250 Gold depending on the card's current level

β—† Card upgrades require Card Fragments of that specific card

πŸ’Ž SHARDS

Shards are the premium currency β€” farmable, earnable, and never required to enjoy the game.

How you earn them:

β—† Complete Season Pass missions β€” up to 1200 Shards per season

β—† Complete high-level achievements β€” up to 1200 extra Shards (once per account)

β—† Place in Tournaments β€” Shards are among the rewards

β—† Sell special cosmetics on the Marketplace β€” note that 20% of the value is lost on each sale

β—† Can also be purchased directly if you want to move faster

What you spend them on:

β—† Special chests

β—† Cosmetics in the shop

β—† Season Pass

β—† Marketplace purchases

πŸ’‘ Quick breakdown: Gold keeps your cards growing. Shards unlock the extras. Both can be earned just by playing β€” no shortcuts required.
