Quests & NovaCoins
Star Dust runs the mine. NovaCoins are the ones you spend on real Steam keys and gift cards in the LootNova store. Quests are how you earn them.
This week's Quests
You get 3 of these a week, drawn from the list below, and !quests shows you which ones you have. Up to 400 NovaCoins a week from them.
| Quest | Pays |
|---|---|
| Complete 3 upgrades | 100 NovaCoins |
| Hold Rigs in 3 Fields | 100 NovaCoins |
| Play !arrow, !battle and !play | 100 NovaCoins |
| Recruit 5 Heroes | 90 NovaCoins |
| Collect 20 times | 75 NovaCoins |
| Move 2 Rigs | 75 NovaCoins |
| Scan 30 times | 75 NovaCoins |
Notice what the last one asks for. Playing the channel's other games pays NovaCoins and lifts the Field your Rig is sitting in. Those two things stack.
Your first week pays the most
150 NovaCoins land the moment you stake your first Rig. Then showing up on consecutive days pays this, once, and never again:
| Day | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NovaCoins | 50 | 500 | 75 | 75 | 100 | 100 | 200 |
Day two is the biggest single payout in the game. Come back tomorrow.
What NovaCoins do here
Inside ASTROBELT they do exactly one thing: !speedup finishes an upgrade early. One coin takes 5m off, up to half the original wait. That is the whole list.
Everything else you do with them happens in the LootNova store, which is where they turn into game keys and gift cards. Nothing in ASTROBELT needs them, so nothing here is pay-to-win.
