In-game currency | Upgrading your character classes Angry Birds Epic Guide

The in-game currency goes as follows : Lucky Coins, Snoutlings, Friendship Essences.

There are 3 types of in-game currencies : Snoutlings, Lucky Coins and Friendship Essences.

Snoutlings

Snoutlings are the basic currency in the game, used to buy most of the stuff, like: new character classes, upgrades, weapon schematics, potion recipes, or some crafting components. Snoutlings are the easiest one to acquire - they are dropped after each battle you win, you can also collect a substantial amount of them from chests. Additionally, you can buy them using real-world money - there's no point to do so, however, as there are no problems to acquire this currency.

Lucky Coins

Probably the most important in-game currency. It allows you to buy the best items, such as the last character class upgrades, the most powerful classes to certain birds, or used to speed up some of the operations in the game (such as upgrading character classes and the need to wait 3 hours to do so again). The most important application for them is a mechanism called Golden Pig Machine, which you can learn about in the next section.

You can also use them to open Friendship Gates - you can read about them in the next sections as well. It's worth to preserve Lucky Coins - don't use them on everything you can, as they are hard to acquire.

Friendship Essence

Friendship Essence is an in-game currency, which can mainly be acquired with the help of your friends - by connecting the game with your Facebook account. You can acquire one essence from a single friend every 20 hours, so if you want to have plenty of them, there are two choices - you can create a new Facebook account and invite a whole mass of people playing Angry Birds Epic (this way you can acquire essences from hundreds of people each day - there's a lot of those types of accounts on Facebook), or prepare yourself to torture your friends with everyday spam from the game.

Friendship Essences can be uses to spin the Wheel of Fortune (drawing rewards after a won battle) again, or re-throw a dice during crafting. As with the Lucky Coins, don't spend them on everything in sight, as they are extremely valuable. It's best to keep them for later, when you will be trying to craft decent gear.
