What do you spend YOUR iri shards on?

Figured this would be a fun topic since alot of ppl have quite the hoard after the cross progression update. Do you save your shards for characters? Do you use em up in the shrine? Do you blow em for your 50th Meg/Feng outfit?

    For killer perks in the Shrine but I have pretty much every perk that I want currently so I spent some on a cosmetic the other day

    On Switch, I think I now have over 260k shards. Which is good, since I'll probably use them to buy some of the characters that didn't transfer with cross-progression rather than spending money on repurchasing the chapters.

    I never buy things on the shrine. Usually I spend the shards on cosmetics, though obviously I'm kinda picky.

    Spend on characters, or shards in the shrine if a licensed character.

    I've only bought that one Feng outfit that's Iri only. Other than that I don't. I have like 400,000+ shards.

    I only main licensed survivors so barely anything, really. The few perks I don't have on the shrine, a shop cosmetic for killer once in a blue moon and all the new original characters. That's about it.

    Most Original characters & some Visceral/Ultra Rare skins.

    I hoard BP (going over the cap by never spending and using Rift, codes & gifts to continuously gain BP beyond 2 mil) so that as soon as a desired character comes out they are immediately prestiged to lvl 3 (whether they are played afterward is dependant on their quality & potential Rift/Tome challenges) so I don't have to deal with the Shrine.

    i use my shards to buy bloodpoints from the shrine. Rarely anything else

    Originally, for Killer Perks in the Shrine.

    Then, I went exclusively cosmetics until about 24 hours ago.

    I wanted to get off Nintendo Switch but our DLC doesn't transfer

    I had roughly 94,000 shards 24 hours ago but because I had to repurchase characters, I'm down to roughly 14,000

    Usually characters and occasionally cosmetics. Unless a cosmetic is a drastic difference (Mr puddles for clown for example) i generally don't bother with cosmetics so i just save the shards for new unlicensed characters

  • SunaIIanu

    Usually for cosmetics, never bought a character with shards. I've played mostly Rebecca lately though so currently I'm just saving my shards.

    Bought every OG character with shards. I also buy some of the time limited skins you can buy for shards for christmas and halloween and stuff. Otherwise I just hoard them unless a super cool outfit on a character I play becomes available for shards.

    Characters are by far the best use of shards, it's not even close.

    I bought every shard-available character already, so it's all cosmetics at this point. I have quite the Plague and Artist wardrobe going.

    For cosmetics or characters. I don't understand why people waste shards on shrine when they can easily unlock perks nowadays

    characters and cosmetics

    i only ever buy characters with shards if i just want their perks

    I buy the original characters with shards. And then some cosmetics I like. Usually only for survs as you don’t see your cosmetics for killers in match and therefore the rift ones are enough for me.


    that said, I just bought the Were-Elk for 35k shards!! Got extra shards from cross progression as I collected them on switch from events and stuff. I can’t play huntress at all, but 2v8 I gotta try like this, looking forward to miss every hatchet with style

    Killer skins. I just rarely get to buy any because of the ridiculous pricing scheme.

  • drsoontm
    drsoontm Member Posts: 4,903

    Shards? I've got more than 250K and have not idea what to spend them on.

    Usually I spend them on a new killer or survivor but that's about it.

    I buy skins I like but only when im close to 100K. I buy for both killer and survivor. Last time I bought were-elk and jane romero ancient egypt skins.

    you would think that but you really overestimate my aim here. 😐

  • Krazzik

    I'm not doing any cross progression stuff but for my usual shards I basically keep a certain amount so I can buy any new original chapters straight away. If I have loooooads extra, I'll buy cosmetics.

    I've got nearly every perk so don't need to use the Shrine, only perks I don't have are from the Alien chapter.

  • Dwight_Fairfield

    Shrine for BP boosts when needed. Any Dwight cosmetics that are purchasable with shards.

  • Thusly_Boned
    Thusly_Boned Member Posts: 2,991

    Cosmetics, mostly. If I have enough shards for a character when they drop I'll use them, but I don't save them for that purpose. Pretty much as soon as I have enough for a wanted cosmetic, I use them.
