Heart Trading Guide for Sky: Children of the Light

Hearts are a valuable social currency in Sky: Children of the Light. They can be used to unlock selected cosmetics, expressions, and other rewards from spirits. This guide explains legitimate ways to earn and exchange Hearts with friends, how to organise a fair Heart exchange, and how to protect your account.

Important: This guide covers in-game gifting between friends. It does not recommend selling Hearts, buying Hearts for real money, account trading, or using multiple accounts to manipulate rewards. Always follow the current game rules and official Terms of Service.

1. What Are Hearts?

Hearts are a social currency in Sky. They are different from Regular Candles, Seasonal Candles, and Ascended Candles. Hearts are commonly used to unlock certain rewards in spirit friendship trees and other in-game reward paths.

Because reward costs and availability can change, check the relevant in-game tree before deciding how many Hearts to save.

2. Legitimate Ways to Get Hearts

• Receive a Heart from a friend: Friends can send Hearts through the in-game friendship interface when the gifting option is available.
• Exchange Hearts with friends: Friends may agree to take turns sending each other Hearts. Make sure everyone understands the arrangement and follows the game’s current limits.
• Collect Heart-related rewards: Some activities, community features, or special content may offer Heart rewards or Heart-related opportunities. Check the current in-game information because availability can vary.
• Receive community appreciation: Certain shared creations and social features can involve likes or light. Follow the in-game instructions to understand when these contribute toward Heart progress.

Not every activity gives a full Heart immediately. Some features provide light or fragments that contribute toward a Heart after enough has been collected.

3. How to Gift a Heart to a Friend

1. Meet your friend in Sky or find them through the friend constellation.
2. Open the friendship menu and look for the Heart gift option.
3. Check the displayed cost and confirm that you want to send the gift.
4. Your friend may need to collect or open the gift through the appropriate in-game interface.

The game displays the current requirements and cost before you confirm. These details can change, so rely on the prompt shown in your version of Sky rather than an old guide or screenshot.

4. How to Organise a Fair Heart Exchange

A Heart exchange is an informal agreement between friends to send in-game Hearts to one another. Keep it simple, transparent, and voluntary.

• Agree first: Confirm that both players want to participate before sending anything.
• Set clear expectations: Decide who sends first and when the other player plans to return the gift.
• Respect game limits: Follow any daily gifting restrictions or requirements shown in the game.
• Keep records privately: If you need a reminder, note the agreement without sharing account credentials or personal information.
• Be considerate: Real life happens. Give friends time and do not pressure anyone to send a Heart.

Only exchange Hearts with people you trust. A Heart gift is a voluntary in-game interaction, not a guaranteed investment or a real-money transaction.

5. Heart Fragments and Shared Spaces

Some social features allow players to receive light or appreciation from other players. Depending on the feature, this may contribute toward Heart progress rather than immediately granting a complete Heart.

Follow the prompts for the specific shared space, message, or social feature you are using. The game interface will show whether you have received light, fragments, or a complete reward.

6. Where to Spend Your Hearts

Hearts can be required for selected cosmetics and other unlocks. Before spending, open the relevant spirit or reward tree and review the path and total cost.

• Prioritise cosmetics or rewards you genuinely want.
• Check whether a reward is permanent, seasonal, or only available during a particular event.
• Keep a small reserve if you are saving for a specific item.
• Review the in-game tree because costs and availability may change.

7. Heart Trading Safety and Account Protection

Protect your Sky account and keep Heart exchanges within the official game systems.

• Do not buy or sell Hearts for real money. Avoid third-party sellers, paid Heart services, and unofficial marketplaces.
• Never share your login details. Do not give anyone your password, verification codes, or account access to receive a Heart.
• Avoid account trading and account sharing. Keep your account under your control and follow the game’s account rules.
• Do not use automation or exploits. Avoid bots, scripts, or methods that manipulate the game’s reward systems.
• Use official support channels. If you encounter a suspicious offer or account issue, consult the official Sky support resources.

Unofficial services can put your account, purchases, and personal information at risk. The safest approach is to gift Hearts voluntarily to friends through the game’s own interface.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Candles does it cost to send a Heart?

The game shows the current cost in the gifting interface before you confirm. Check that prompt for the latest value, as mechanics may be adjusted.

Can I send Hearts to the same friend every day?

Gifting availability can be subject to in-game limits and requirements. Check the friendship menu for the current options and wait until the game allows another gift.

We do not recommend buying Hearts for real money or using third-party sellers. Use the official in-game gifting features and follow the game’s Terms of Service.
