Stellar Compass in Season 1

Stellar Compass Event Guide – Infinity Kingdom

The Stellar Compass event is a seasonal, high-value event in Infinity Kingdom that provides players with artifact crafting materials, speed-ups, purple crystals, and, most importantly, unique artifact fragments.

The first iteration of the event, introduced in Season 1, allows players to choose their artifact fragments through universal elemental selection boxes, making it a fantastic opportunity to upgrade your Immortals.

In this guide, we’ll cover:
✔ How the event works
✔ How to participate (both free-to-play & spending players)
✔ Crystal Ball pricing & drop rates
✔ Comparing Stellar Compass vs. Standard Artifact Bundles

If you’re looking to efficiently upgrade your unique artifacts, this guide will help you make the most cost-effective choices.

How Stellar Compass Works

1. Participation & Currency – Crystal Balls

To participate in Stellar Compass, players need Crystal Balls, which can be obtained in several ways:

✔ Through the spender-dice event (a rolling event where purchases give dice rolls & rewards).
✔ Through the redeem event (kill Gnomes and farm resources to earn a currency that can be exchanged for Crystal Balls).
✔ Direct purchase in the in-game shop.

💡 Tip for Free-to-Play Players:

  • Do NOT spend Crystal Balls until you have collected 100.
  • There is a guaranteed artifact jackpot at 100 draws if you miss it 99 times.

Understanding the Pricing of Unique Artifacts in Stellar Compass

While Stellar Compass offers more than just artifact fragments, artifacts are the main draw of the event. Let’s break down the costs and compare them to the traditional artifact bundles in the in-game shop.

1. Crystal Ball Pricing in Stellar Compass

Purchasing Crystal Balls comes at different price points:

Bundle PriceCrystal BallsPrice per Ball
$14$0.25
$510$0.50
$1018$0.55
$2024$0.83
$5056$0.89
$100100$1.00

💡 Realistic Price Per Crystal Ball:

  • If you’re spending efficiently, you’ll likely buy a mix of $5, $10, and $20 bundles rather than just large packs.
  • On average, this brings the price to around $0.50 per Crystal Ball.

2. How Many Crystal Balls Do You Need for a Unique Artifact?

Through testing, spending 530 Crystal Balls resulted in:
✔ 3x 60 Fragments (180 total)
✔ On average, 176.66 Crystal Balls per unique artifact

💡 Estimated Cost per Unique Artifact in Stellar Compass:

  • 176.66 Balls x $0.50 per Ball = ~$90 per full artifact
  • Per fragment cost: ~$1.50

Comparing Stellar Compass vs. Standard Artifact Bundles

Now, let’s compare the cost of acquiring artifact fragments through Stellar Compass and the standard daily artifact bundles in the in-game shop.

1. Standard In-Game Shop Pricing

Bundle PriceSchematic FragmentsPrice per Fragment
$54$1.25
$108$1.25
$2012$1.66

💡 Observations:

  • Stellar Compass costs ~$1.50 per fragment on average.
  • Daily artifact bundles cost ~$1.25 per fragment.
  • The standard bundles are slightly cheaper per fragment, but Stellar Compass includes extra rewards, namely upgrade materials and purple crystals which are quite attractive for players in season one looking to quickly scale and upgrade.

Which Method is More Cost-Effective?

✔ Stellar Compass:

  • Pros: Additional rewards like crafting materials, speed-ups, and purple crystals.
  • Cons: Slightly higher cost per fragment (~$1.50 vs. $1.25).

✔ Daily Artifact Bundles:

  • Pros: More predictable pricing and slightly lower cost per fragment (~$1.25).
  • Cons: No extra rewards beyond fragments.

💡 Final Recommendation:

  • For whales (big spenders): Buying daily artifact bundles AND participating in Stellar Compass with cheap bundles is the most efficient strategy.
  • For mid-spenders: Participate in Stellar Compass only with $5 and $10 bundles, while also buying daily artifact packs.
  • For free-to-play players: Only use free-earned Crystal Balls and save 100 before participating.

Conclusion: Should You Participate in Stellar Compass?

✔ Yes! Stellar Compass is worth participating in because of bonus materials and speed-ups, but don’t expect massive savings on artifact fragments.
✔ Use a mix of daily bundles and cheaper Stellar bundles for optimal artifact progression.
✔ If you’re free-to-play, save 100 Crystal Balls before pulling to guarantee at least one jackpot.

💡 Final Thought:
While Stellar Compass isn’t the absolute cheapest way to get artifacts, it offers valuable side rewards that make it worth participating in—as long as you’re strategic with your spending. 🚀
