# Coins & Items

Liven up your Starbot experience with a rich economy

{% hint style="info" %}
Coins (✪) are global and shared between servers - however, items are per-server.
{% endhint %}

## Coins (✪)

Coins can be used to buy items or play gacha. You can collect coins every hour using `/collect` (global cooldown).

***

## Items

Items can be viewed using `/me bag`. Items have different uses/effects and can be bought with `/shop` or earned through `/gacha`. Items can be sold in the shop or given to other users.

Selecting an item from the dropdown list will display various information about that item.

### Key Items

Key items are important or main items that have important or permanent effects. They are displayed at the top for easy visibility.

### Cursed Items

Cursed items have negative effects and can not be sold or given away. The only way to get rid of them us by using a <mark style="color:yellow;">Spirit Seal</mark> (can be bought from the shop, crafted, or obtained via gacha).

***

## Gacha

You can use ✪ to play gacha and win prizes, such as more ✪, items, or trading cards. There is <mark style="color:yellow;">Standard</mark>, <mark style="color:yellow;">Slots</mark>, and <mark style="color:yellow;">Event</mark>. Event gacha uses special tokens and can give rare limited edition items!

{% hint style="warning" %}
Higher rank items are harder to obtain via gacha.
{% endhint %}

## Trading Cards

Occasionally, you can find a **Card Capsule** item. These contain trading cards that can be collected and shown off. Currently, there are a total of **40** different trading cards in existence.

{% hint style="info" %}
Trading cards are **global** and can be accessed from all servers once collected.
