The pull currency at the centre of the fastest-growing gacha franchise in the world. HoYoverse publishes regional prices openly on their top-up website. This page converts them daily, normalizes to cost per 100 shards, and measures who pays the most against the US at $14.99.
The 980-shard pack delivers 1,090 total in steady state (including the standing bonus). This index prices the labelled 980-shard base. First-time double bonuses are tracked separately and not included in the primary ranking.
The US bar at $14.99 is the line. Below it, money buys more pulls. Above it, the identical 980-shard top-up costs more.

Local price, converted at today's rate, measured against $14.99. Negative is a discount to the US. Positive is a premium for the same 980-shard bundle.

The rate at which the local 980-shard bundle would cost exactly $14.99. Above the market rate: the tag has drifted cheap. Below it: that market is overpaying for the same pull budget.
Argentina: HoYoverse covers most major markets with local-currency pricing on the official top-up website. Markets billed in USD rather than a local currency are flagged and excluded from the comparison until a local-currency price is confirmed on the official site.
Turkey: Turkey: HoYoverse has historically offered significant Turkey-region discounts. The TRY price fluctuates substantially and is tracked separately as a volatility note, not in the main table.

Vertical jumps were HoYoverse. Everything else was the market. Between adjustments, the real dollar cost of 800 Robux drifts with the exchange rate. This page captures that drift daily.
Japan (-24.4%) is one of the deepest discounts across the entire desk. Germany (+37.2%) runs a premium — HoYoverse charges €17.99 for the pack it sells at $14.99 in the US. The same publisher's Genesis Crystals carries an even larger Germany premium (+14.3%) because HoYoverse charges €14.99 there, the same number as USD but in a stronger currency.

Oneiric Shards are the pull currency for Honkai: Star Rail's banner system. HoYoverse publishes every regional rate openly on the official top-up website — one of the most transparent pricing structures on this desk. Japan consistently sits at a deep discount because the yen is weak against the dollar. Germany consistently pays a premium because HoYoverse charges €17.99 for the 980-shard pack it sells at $14.99 in the US.
These shards cannot be transferred or cashed out. The pity counter, the banner odds, and the pull budget all stay on the account where the top-up was made. The gap between Japan and Germany for the same 980 shards is the entire spread of this index.
Since November 2024, $9.99 on the Roblox web store yields 1,000 Robux due to a 25% bonus. The 800-Robux SKU remains a distinct purchasable tier and is still the labelled bundle in most regional storefronts.
This index benchmarks the 800-Robux bundle. The distinction is intentional: the index measures the bundle price, not the effective yield after bonus.
The Oneiric Shards Index is independent analysis by Llama & Griffin, not affiliated with or endorsed by HoYoverse or miHoYo. The Oneiric Shards name refers to the product. Nothing on this page sells, resells, or advises on acquiring Oneiric Shards.
Gacha pricing is transparent by design: HoYoverse publishes every regional rate on their top-up website. Most players never look across markets. This page does it for them. The same 980 shards, the same pull probability, the same pity counter — different real money, depending on passport. Not what 980 Oneiric Shards costs. Who is asked to pay the most for the identical pull budget, and how quietly the gap moves.
