Buy Crystgin for Once Human: packs, Meta Pass, Battle Pass and Custom Server rentals
Once Human is the open-world cosmic horror survival MMO from Starry Studio, NetEase Games' internal team. The PC version went live on 9 July 2024 across Steam and Epic Games Store, the mobile build with full cross-progression launched on 23 April 2025 for iOS and Android, and a closed console beta on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S ran from 26 March to 8 April 2026 alongside the PC Deviant Update. The full console release is slated for 2026 with no firm date confirmed at the time of writing. Crystgin is the game's premium currency: it is purchased with real money only and spent strictly on cosmetics, the Meta Pass, the Battle Pass and the Lightforge Loot Crate.
- Crystgin packs from 62 to 8075 for cosmetics, passes and crates
- 30-day Meta Pass with an instant 330 Crystgin payout and a +10% rebate buff
- Advanced and Luxurious Battle Pass tiers tied to the ~6-week scenario cycle
- Lightforge Loot Crate pulls with a 30-pull guarantee on Lightforge cosmetics
- Custom Server slot rentals across capacities and 30-, 60-, 90- and 180-day terms
- Cosmetic DLC theme packs and the seasonal Shining Star Pack for new accounts
Crystgin and Starchrom are two separate systems
Once Human draws a hard line between paid and progression currencies. Crystgin is bought with money and goes toward cosmetics, the Meta Pass, the Battle Pass and Lightforge crates. Starchrom is the soft currency you grind out of Prime War, daily and weekly activities and the Mitsuko Marks Crate, then spend at the Wish Machine for weapon and armour blueprints. The two never meet on a 1:1 conversion the way Genesis Crystals turn into Primogems ā Starchrom does not have a real-money price, and Crystgin cannot be turned into a blueprint roll. The economy also runs on Mitsuko's Mark (seasonal goals and the Season Shop), Sproutlets (consumables from in-world NPCs at the start of a new scenario) and Stellar Planula from Rift Anchors. None of those are sold for cash either.
Why the catalogue lists 62/339/1120 instead of 60/330/1090
The Brawl Games shelf shows 62, 339, 1120, 2340, 3979 and 8075 Crystgin rather than the official NetEase ladder of 60/330/1090/2280/3880/7880. This is not a regional SKU or a third-party bonus ā NetEase's Top-Up Center applies a base 3% rebate on every Crystgin purchase, and the supplier displays the post-rebate total. The underlying transaction is the same official top-up, just shown after the standard bonus has been added to the wallet. The first-purchase doubling and the +10% rebate from an active Meta Pass stack on top of that, with cumulative rebate climbing to as much as 24% during event windows. If an account has already used its first-purchase bonus on a given denomination, only the base 3% applies the next time around.
Meta Pass is a 30-day perk, not the Battle Pass
The Meta Pass is a $30, 30-day premium perk. Activating it instantly drops 330 Crystgin into the wallet, adds a +10% rebate buff to every Crystgin purchase made during the next 30 days, opens the cosmetics try-on room in the in-game shop and unlocks exclusive chat stickers and quality-of-life perks. It does not auto-renew ā it is a one-off 30-day purchase that has to be bought again to extend the buff. Just as importantly, the Meta Pass is account-wide: every character on the account benefits from the rebate and the perks, including characters created on different scenarios. This is not a Welkin-style daily allowance ā there is no "X currency per day" trickle, the value is in the upfront Crystgin and the rebate boost on later purchases.
Battle Pass: Standard, Advanced and Luxurious
The seasonal Battle Pass is tied to one scenario window of around six weeks and ships in three tiers. Standard is free for everyone. Advanced at $9.99 unlocks the premium reward track with Epic-tier seasonal outfits, weapon skins (the Terminus Sword in Final Gambit, for instance), Cradle pet skins, furniture formulas, Crystgin and XP boosters. Luxurious at $23.99 adds bonus levels, faster track progression and exclusive cosmetics, and an Advanced owner can upgrade to Luxurious mid-season for $13.99. Cosmetics from the paid tracks stay on the account for good and are available to every character. The Battle Pass and the Meta Pass are different products tied to different cycles ā the catalogue sells them as separate listings.
Lightforge Loot Crate: gacha with 30-pull pity and a $300 full-collection cost
The Lightforge Loot Crate is a full gacha mechanic, not a token side activity. A single pull is 160 Crystgin, and the first ten pulls on any new crate are discounted 50% to 80 Crystgin each. The Lightforge cosmetic guarantee triggers at pull 30, and won items are removed from the pool, so a complete sweep of a large crate carrying three Lightforge cosmetics takes up to 90 pulls. Closing out a major five-cosmetic crate runs about 150 pulls and roughly $300. Since the Pyro Glide crate in 2024 and the wave of crates that followed, community discussion has framed Lightforge as a tension point with Starry's public "no pay-to-win" stance ā the cosmetics stay cosmetic, but the cost of completing the set sits in the same range as Genesis-Crystal-funded gacha events in Genshin or HSR. Lightforge Gems, Ingots and Relics circulate inside the crate ecosystem as event sub-currencies and are not sold directly for cash.
Seasonal scenarios and wipes: what carries over, what does not
Once Human runs on six-week scenario cycles. The current rotation includes Manibus and Way of Winter on the PvE side, Endless Dream (live since July 2025 with a full open map at launch and a permanent no-wipe variant), Evolution's Call and Prismverse's Clash on the PvP side, and the newest Visions of the Forgotten arriving in 2.3.x patches. When a server's scenario closes, the world wipes. What carries over: Crystgin, Starchrom, Mitsuko's Mark, Sproutlets, Stellar Planula, every cosmetic, outfit and weapon skin, blueprints, furniture formulas and the entire Eternaland domain. What does not carry over: built bases, stockpiled materials and world progress on that server. Eternaland is a personal, persistent realm that never wipes, and patch 2.3.6 on 8 April 2026 added terraforming there, making it more useful as a long-term cosmetic vault. Permanent no-wipe servers on Endless Dream PvE have been live since summer 2025 for players who would rather skip the seasonal restart loop entirely.
Custom Server: what Brawl Games sells and what stays with the host
The Custom Server programme launched on 18 June 2025 as official paid private servers from NetEase. The host configures spawn rate, day length, PvP zones and resource scarcity, and experimental modes show up here first ā Hyper Brawl mode landed in early access on Custom Servers with patch 2.3.7. The Brawl Games catalogue lists tiers for 4-, 10-, 20-, 40- and 100-person servers across 30-, 60-, 90- and 180-day terms. Cosmetics, Crystgin, Lightforge Gems/Ingots/Relics and Silver Keys are synchronised with the official servers, so anything purchased follows the player onto the custom world. Inside the admin panel the host operates with Worldcoin, an internal admin currency that converts 1:10 into Crystgin with a daily cap of 100,000 Crystgin; ordinary players on the server never touch it. What is sold here is the rental slot ā configuration, moderation and day-to-day admin sit with the host, not with Brawl Games.
Region, server and Player ID at top-up
Once Human is split across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, HK/Macao/Taiwan, Korea, Japan and South America. Region and server are picked at character creation and cannot be changed afterwards. The Top-Up Center needs three values to deliver Crystgin: Region + Server + Player ID. The Player ID is a public numeric identifier shown on the profile card (Profile in the top-right corner) and in the bottom-left of the main game screen. No NetEase login is needed and none is asked for in third-party flows. There is one nuance for the cross-progression rollout: a character created on PC via Steam, Epic or Loading Bay can be picked up on iOS or Android, but a character originally created on mobile only ports to PC through Loading Bay ā Steam and Epic clients will not see it. Many players make their account on Loading Bay first to keep both paths open. For players in regions where the official store has limited card support, third-party top-ups by Region + Server + Player ID are the standard route.
How to place a Once Human top-up
- Open Once Human, head to Profile in the top-right corner and copy the Player ID.
- Note the region and the name of the server your character is currently on.
- Pick the listing ā Crystgin pack, Meta Pass, Battle Pass tier or Custom Server slot.
- Enter Region + Server + Player ID and check the values on the order screen.
- Complete payment and wait for delivery ā Crystgin lands on the linked account, no login needed.
