Items in Dark Summoner

There are a number of items available in Dark Summoner, some can be purchased with Soul Points (mostly available as premium, paid content), and most can be obtained through special events, boss battles or other methods.


Energy Potions

  • Energy Potions refill the player's energy (used for missions, raid battles and special events) completely.
  • My Energy Potions also completely refill the player's energy, but are non-tradable.
  • My 100 Energy Potions refill 100 energy, and are non-tradable.
  • Energy Potions cost 100 soul points in the Store. (~$1.00 USD)


Energy Potions are very valuable to high-level players, as energy refills slowly over time, meaning that it will take 10 times longer for a player with 300 energy to refill than one with 30 energy. It is much more profitable for low-level players to trade energy potions than to use them in most cases, as high-level players have access to many more rare and powerful creatures that they are willing to trade.

Battle Point Potions

  • Battle Point potions refill the player's Battle Points (used for battling other players) completely.
  • My Battle Point Potions also completely refill the player's Battle Points, but are non-tradable.
  • My 100 Battle Point Potions refill 100 Battle Points, and are non-tradable.
  • Battle Point Potions cost 100 soul points in the Store. (~$1.00 USD)


Battle Point potions refill the player's BP gauge. Battle points are used for players to PVP battle. Again, as with energy potions, low-level players are better off trading than using BP potions in most cases. These are generally considered less valuable than energy potions, but are still very much desired by players that are trying to reach the top tiers of the battle ranking ladders.


Elixir

  • Elixirs refill the player's energy and Battle Points (used for battling other players) completely.
  • My Elixirs also completely refill the player's energy and Battle Points, but are non-tradable.
  • My 100 Elixirs refill 100 energy and Battle Points, and are non-tradable.
  • Elixirs cost 150 soul points in the Store. (~$1.50 USD)


Elixirs refill both the BP gauge and the Energy gauge. They are mostly only available as premium items purchasable with Soul Points. As with Energy Potions and Battle Point Potions, they are the most valuable to high-level players, and have more benefit to lower level players as items for trade.



Gold

Gold can be obtained by doing missions, awarded for various achievements, mission boss battles, selling monsters, PVP battles or as part of daily bonuses. Its only use at this time is for spending on leveling up monsters via sacrifice.


Summon (Normal)

Summons are used to summon mostly low-tier monsters, and can be obtained through login bonuses for the most part. As of this time, C through A tier creatures have been obtained via this item.

Summon (Special)

There are various special summons in Dark Summoner, which either limit (Such as B-Level Summons) or expand the kind of creature that can be obtained from use. Most special summons are obtained through Special Events, and can be the only way to obtain the rarest and most powerful monsters in the game, except for trading.


Dark Summon

A Dark Summon is basically an upgrade of the Normal Summon item. It can be obtained through special daily login bonuses or by purchase with Soul Points. Since it is mostly a premium item, it is uncommon and moderately valuable. B through AA tier monsters have been obtained through this item at this time.

(Ed: A tier limit is uncertain with Dark Summons. Please update if you have obtained a higher-tier monster through this method.)

Monster Limit +

These items expand the number of monsters that can be kept in your inventory at one time by 10. Ateam Inc recently announced that they would be removing this item as a purchasable item, and it would only be obtainable in the future through special events or similar. This makes this item extremely valuable, especially to high-level players that may need more inventory space.


Player Name Change

This item is rarely found in the store, and offers the ability to change a player's username once. Surprisingly, it is highly trasured and mostly sold for an exaggerated amount of energy potions.

Skill Point Reset

  • Skill Point Resets cost 1500 soul points in the Store (~$15.00 USD)

This is a premium item, and the most expensive one available in the Shop at this time. However, if you find that you have (for example) built your character as a PVP machine but want to be able to do more missions, this might be the only way to go. Best used as a last resort, as it is the ultimate case of an ounce of prevention preventing a pound of cure.



Items as Trade/Auction Currency

Energy Potions: During trades and auctions, it is commonly accepted that energy potions are the main form of currency. Players may communicate to others that they are "selling" a good, meaning that they will only trade their monster for refill items (preferably energy potions). Generally, monsters are assigned an appropriate cost based on its level, rank, ability, ability level, and stats.

Battle Potions: These are the second most valuable currency, and are worth less than energy potions, ranging on ratios between 5:1 to 10:1. This currency, however, is not to be offered in extreme quantities, as it may be hard to find trades for the more desirable Energy Potions, drastically lowering the marginal cost of the Battle Potions past the threshold.

Elixirs: Most people are willing to accept the cost of an elixir as the sum of the former two items. However, since the elixir offers less flexibility in use than a Battle Potion and an Energy Potion, they may be valued at simply the Energy Potion (the Battle Potion's cost is insignificant).

Lord crystals: Lord crystals are a somewhat standardized form of currency, but they tend to be accepted much less than ep as currency. Lord crystal exchange rates to EP may vary, from as high as 15:1 to as low as 40:1. Certain crystals, such as dragon lord of hellfire and silvery goddess queen can be worth much more, due to the value of the raid lord for combos.

Gold: Exclusively available for trade through the auction house, gold is valued at approximately 100,000 gold to 1 ep. This value may change over time, but the recent influx of strong monsters has caused the value of gold to rise significantly.

Monster Limit +: These items are limited to events, making them quite rare, even more so in trade due to a players' interest to use them. Once a player's monster capacity is at its desired level, the player may decide to trade all future Monster Limit +s. The value is variable, dependant on the agreement between the trading player. Monster Limits can be valued between 1-3 ep.

Skill Point Reset: The Store price of the Skill Point Reset is likely lower than the trade price due to free players' inability to purchase soul points. A reasonable price, however, must be between 15 EP and 15BP (they are equal in store value).

Name Change: Being very rare in the store, a Name Change can be very overpriced. Offers by players can be around 35 EP.

Monster Costs

  • C - C+ monsters have no abilities, nor are particularly powerful, making them cost virtually nothing. Primarily used as fodder or semi-portable money supplies.
  • B - B+ monsters are generally only sold/traded for their abilities. The abilitiy monsters generally go for 3,4,or 5 monsters/ 1ep. Certain rare skills, such as Agility Up and Venomous Breath can be costlier due to limited availibility.
  • A - A+ monsters can range from 1 EP to about 40 EP(for some + monsters such as Balrog). Weak monsters such as Great Horned Warrior and Blood Blob are on the low end, while elite monsters such as Elite Dragonborn (offered during events) are overpriced. If an monster has an event exclusive ability that becomes obsolete post-event, a price dip tends to occur after the event, though this is not necessarily true(Asura, Paimon). Note: A's are able to rank up by evolution (sacrificing a monster to the exact same monster to become +), meaning that A+ monsters are worth two A monsters of the same type. Certain monsters in extremely high demand and extremely low supply, such as Hatred Pledge Victoria+(a limited event monster that is valued for its use in a psycho demon team) can be as high as 400 ep, though this may be the product of hyperbole and exaggerated prices.
  • AA - AA+ monsters span a wide range of values. The newest AA's, such as Rot Cast, Hallucination Cast, and Assasin Cast are valued for fairly low amounts, perhaps as low as 10 ep. Strong new AA's with high Battle Point costs such as Gold Gorger Dragon and Wingarm Dragon(34 bp AA's available only through lucky dark summons) can easily cost over 200 EP for a normal version, and twice that for a +.
