Overview of Resources

CookieRun: OvenSmash has a whole spread of different resources — each with its own role and purpose. Knowing how to use them wisely in your first week can make a huge difference in how fast you grow. This guide breaks down each resource type and helps you figure out where to focus first! 

Main Resource List 

Crystals

• How to Obtain: Complete daily missions, NPC quests, jump into matches and events, and level up your Cookies' star ratings to hit growth milestones — and that's just the start!
• Usage: Spend them on Cookie gacha, skins, special bundles, and a variety of items in the Shop.
• First Week Tip: Hold your horses before going all-in on gacha! Focus on value bundles first, or save up for your favorite Cookie's Banner. Patience pays off sweeter in the long run!

Rainbow Credits

• How to Obtain: Complete daily missions, NPC quests, pick up limited-time bundles, top up, and more!
• Usage: Spend them on Cookie Costume gacha, Battle Pass tickets, emoji, and plenty of other items.
• First Week Tip: Save them for your favorite Cookie first — or, if you're feeling lucky… go ahead and roll! We won't judge.

Coins

• How to Obtain: Open battle boxes, complete missions, participate in events, and more!
• Usage: Level up your Cookies, unlock new skills, and grab discounted items in the Shop.
• First Week Tip: Pour your Coins into leveling up your favorite Cookie and unlocking new skills — the more tricks up your sleeve, the harder you are to read on the battlefield!

Things You SHOULD NOT Do in First Week

• Blowing all your Crystals on Day 1 — spending gradually for the right events will always get you more bang for your buck!
• Skipping Daily Missions — they are your most consistent and reliable source of resources, so don't sleep on them!
• Ignoring your daily Battle Boxes — these steady rewards add up fast and are key to your early progression!
• Spreading Power Sand upgrades across too many Cookies — focus on 1–2 main Cookies first and build them up properly before branching out!

💡 Golden Rule: Complete Daily Missions → Play with friends to earn Battle Boxes → Spend Crystals wisely. A little patience now goes a long way later!
