Hourglass
Level up
When you level up, you often get 12 Hourglass items, every time you level up. This is a great way to boost them.
Missions
By completing missions, you can be rewarded with hourglasses. These are rewarded as rewards for beginner missions, as well as the main reward for completing daily missions. You can also find Premium missions that also reward hourglasses, if you have the Premium Pass.
Battle tasks
You can complete battle missions on a variety of different difficulties. For each beginner activity, you can be rewarded with two hourglasses. For Intermediate it increases to three, while Advanced is five and Expert rewards seven.
The shop
If you really want to get some hourglasses, you can purchase them using shop tickets in the store. There are a variety of different packages depending on how much you want to purchase at a time.
Wonderpick hourglasses
When it comes to Wonderpick tokens, the number you need depends on the rarity of the cards within the choice you wish to accept. This often varies from one to three tokens at a time.
Wonderpick shows the five cards you could get, shuffles them, and lets you choose one that you can keep. You can hold five Wonderpick tokens by default, but you can hold an extra three if you have the Premium Pass. You can use your Wonderpick Hourglasses to get these tokens, at the rate of nine hourglasses for one, up to 57 hourglasses for a full recovery. This adjusts based on how long you've already waited.
Level up
When you level up, you often get 12 Wonder Hourglass items, to use inside the Wonderpick.
