This is the complete list of what premium currency (Aureus) can be spent on, taken from a code-level audit of every spend path. Some perks are a real gameplay boost — we say which. Everything you need to progress stays earnable by free players: every rank, every prestige, the full free battle-pass track, and cosmetics through play.
Raises earning rates, combat gear or spending power. Said plainly: buying these makes you stronger or richer, faster.
Single keys for every crate the Emporium sells. Crates are a loot draw whose tables include currency grants and full PVP armor sets at the top tiers, so this is spending power, not appearance.
Every crate is also openable with keys earned free — voting, trivia, events. The earn-only crate ladder is deliberately not sold.
The same crate keys in volume packs (multi-buy discounts are computed, never hand-typed, and always below the sum of single keys).
Same contents as single keys — the free earn paths apply identically.
Personal and server-wide multipliers (up to 3x) on all three earnable currencies for a fixed duration — a direct earning-rate boost.
Boosters also drop from the free vote crate and are sold in the vote shop for earned shards; global boosters pay out to every player online.
The seven supporter tiers. The headline vectors are earning advantages: +40% sell bonus, tax-free selling, +45% XP, extra enchant slots and a monthly Aureus stipend at the top — plus convenience commands and cosmetics in the same bundle.
Server caps and anticheat limits apply identically at every tier, and rank, prestige and battle-pass progression stay earnable in play.
Despite the name these are perk carriers, not appearance: income and efficiency multipliers on your pickaxe (up to x1.5 block sell value at the top).
Every purchasable skin is also earnable free via CategoryMastery tracks; the mastery-expansion skins are never sold.
Skips or accelerates a progression track that can also be completed by playing.
Unlocks the 50-tier premium reward track on top of the free track: currency, crate keys, seasonal cosmetics, and some Aureus back at five tiers.
The full free track exists for everyone; the seasonal cosmetics are a large share of the premium value.
Premium track plus an instant head start through tier 25 — it buys season-track tiers outright.
Advances battle-pass tiers without playing, capped at ten skipped tiers per season pass.
Advances one full rank level, skipping its currency cost and grind. The price scales with the level skipped.
Completes one prestige level without meeting its rank, money, token and playtime requirements. Cooldown-gated.
Saves time or protects a streak without changing what you can earn or reach.
Protects a daily login streak through one missed day. No earning rate, no combat, no progression skip — the only convenience-class sink in the audit.
Changes how something looks. Nothing here touches combat, earning or progression.
Permanent visual cosmetics that would otherwise unlock by reaching a prestige level. Pure appearance — nothing here touches combat or earning.
The same cosmetics unlock free by playing to the prestige level they sit behind.
Not currently sold (ships disabled): Caesar’s Blessing extra spins, and three config-driven paths (challenge-shop, pyrobolus, prestige-tier Aureus requirements) that shipped priced in earned currencies only, with every prestige tier’s Aureus requirement at zero.
Aureus is bulk-purchasable, not purchase-only: the vote shop pays out a little each week (capped), crates drop it rarely, the battle-pass premium track pays some back, and supporters receive a monthly stipend. A free player banks single digits per week — none of the free paths approach the pack sizes. The exchange rate is pinned in code: 100 AUR = $1.
