Crystals and supporter
PrivatePS stays completely free to play. Supporting the server is optional and only gives cosmetic perks and convenience, never better drops or items that help you play.
Crystals
Crystals are an account currency you earn by playing actively. They are never an item, never tradable and never droppable, so they cannot be sold for gold.
| Source | How you earn |
|---|---|
| Skilling | 1 Crystal for every 10,000 XP in a non-combat skill (the XP you actually get, at 15x) |
| Bossing | Per kill, more for harder bosses (tier 1 to 5: 4, 7, 9, 24 or 55 Crystals) |
| Raids | Per completed raid: Chambers of Xeric 80, Theatre of Blood 65, Tombs of Amascut 55, Fractured Archive 55 (hard modes x1.5) |
| Quests, diaries, collection log | One-off rewards when those systems pay out |
- The target is about 167 Crystals per hour of active play. Hard caps: 250 per hour and 2,500 per day, shared by all characters of one website account.
- AFK XP bot time does not earn Crystals.
- Crystals are earned by activity, not by XP rate.
What you can spend Crystals on
| What | Cost |
|---|---|
| Mystery Box (one box) | 7,500 Crystals |
| 30 days of supporter | 50,000 Crystals |
| AFK XP bot, one skill or skill group for 30 days | 10,000 Crystals |
| Pet exchange: hand in a pet | 3 times the pet's drop denominator (a 1/363 pet gives 1,089) |
So an active player earns a Mystery Box in about 45 hours and a month of supporter in about 300 hours.
Mystery Box
A box is opened with no pity timer and no guaranteed drop. Categories: Common 55.46%, Uncommon 25%, Rare 15%, Very rare 4.5% and Ultra rare 0.04% (1 in 2,500 boxes for the whole category, 10 prestige cosmetics with equal chance). The full list with the chance of every item is on the Mystery Box page.
AFK XP bots
A bot trains one skill (or a group of skills) for you for 30 days, at 20 percent of the best normal XP rate and at most 10 hours per day, online or offline. It never earns Crystals and combat skills have no bot. It is bound to the character that bought it.
Supporter
Supporters help with the server costs. A supporter gets a blue star, a Discord role, a coloured name and cosmetic perks such as supporter pets. It never gives an advantage in the game.
- A month of supporter (30 days) comes from redeeming a bond in game, or from 50,000 Crystals.
- A bond redeemed in game also gives 50,000 Crystals instead of the old mystery boxes; time stacks up to 60 days in advance.
- Bonds are sold on the support page and can be traded between players.
- When the time runs out the rank simply ends. Pets you unlocked stay unlocked.
