When Tanki Online players talk about crystals they are referring to a 'virtual currency' within the Tanki game, and not real crystals you can place in the palm of your hand.
Without these crystals, Tanki Online would probably not be half the game that it is today, indeed it may not even exist today. Tanki crystals allow you to purchase new items and perform micro upgrades to make them stronger, the also give Tanki Online a chance to make money buy selling these virtual crystals so they can continue paying for their staff and further development of the game. Crystals are awarded at the end of each battle and is dependent on your personal performance, and in team battles, your team's performance. The more effort you put in to a battle, the more tanks you destroy, the more flags you catch and the more control points you take over will all go to determine how many crystals you will be awarded at the end of every battle. There are three other ways to get crystals awarded. First is to get promoted to the next rank, and the number increases as you progress through the ranks. The number is very small at the beginning but once you make your way beyond the rank of Warrant Officer 4, the rewards begin to get far more generous. The second method is to complete daily missions. The other method is to buy them. There is a reasonable number of payments options too so just select whichever suits you best. Not everyone wants to or can buy them and there is occasionally an undertone of jealousy that is evident in the various chat panels throughout the game. You might even be accused of cheating or getting an unfair advantage but this is easy to deal with by simply ignoring such comments. If you have the money to buy the crystals then why not? At least you could always say that you are assisting Tanki Online to help develop the game, making it better and more fun to play. The cost of crystals is as follows: Tanki Online - CrystalsHow do I know how many crystals I am awarded in battle?Providing you are talking part in a battle until the expiry time comes round, you will be award a number of crystals to reflect your performance in that battle. For every tank you destroy, you are awarded with 10 XP points and one point is added to the scoreboard. Points are not deducted when your tank is destroyed by an enemy tank, but points are deducted if you self-destruct.
Crystals are shared between all participating players at the time the battle ends (this may change in future development of the game) and the battle fund that is shown on screen throughout the game determines how many crystals are available in the game. The crystals awarded to you are in the right hand column and your user name is highlighted to make it easier to find. |
