Radiant Shards are an important resource in Cookie Run: Kingdom that players will use to unlock new Disciple Slots in the Hall of Ancient Heroes. While fans can certainly buy Radiant Shards with real world money through the in-game shop, there are also several opportunities for free-to-play players to pursue. This guide will provide details on those opportunities and help fans get more Radiant Shards in Cookie Run: Kingdom.

Story Missions

Story missions in Cookie Run: Kingdom act as the most-straightforward way to earn Radiant Shards, and fans should prioritize completing them. Notably, the missions that award this resource have "Radiant Shard" in their titles, making them very easy to identify.

Seaside Market

Players that are on the hunt for additional Radiant Shards should set their sights on the Seaside Market. Indeed, it is possible to exchange Aurora Bricks for this resource, which was added to the game as part of Cookie Run: Kingdom's May 27 update, at that location every six hours.

Medal Shop

Action RPG fans can also find Radiant Shards in the Medal Shop, which is accessed through the Kingdom Arena. The exchange rate in this shop is 300 Medals of Victory for 100 Radiant Shards, and players can buy 600 of them every time the shop resets.

Balloon Expeditions

Launching Expeditions from the Balloon Dock is another way for players to earn Radiant Shards as well as an assortment of other items. Shards are not awarded for every Expedition, though, and players should focus on sending their Cookies in Cookie Run: Kingdom to the Tainted Forest and beyond. This means that fans that want to use this method for earning Shards will need to put some amount of effort toward clearing story episodes.

Tree of Wishes

Players can receive Radiant Shards from the rewards chests at the Tree of Wishes. Gacha video game fans that are looking for the resource should thus keep an eye on that kingdom facility, which is located right next to the Kingdom Castle.

Fountain of Abundance

The Fountain of Abundance is the final source for Radiant Shards, and it is one of the easiest to utilize. Indeed, players can claim Shards simply by checking this facility throughout the day, and they may want to take those opportunities to upgrade the Fountain if they have not already gotten it to its maximum level.

Cookie Run: Kingdom is available now on Android and iOS devices.
