Hearts in Sky: Children of the Light
Hearts are a social currency used to unlock cosmetics and selected friendship or spirit-tree rewards in Sky: Children of the Light. Unlike Candles, Hearts are commonly earned through friendship and appreciation.
1. What Hearts Are Used For
Hearts unlock many cosmetics in Regular Spirit friendship trees, selected Traveling Spirit rewards, and some event or guide rewards. They may also be used for certain friendship progression nodes. Check each in-game tree for its current cost.
2. How to Earn Hearts
- Receive a Heart gift from a friend through the friendship menu.
- Collect enough Gifts of Light from friends; the community reference documents 60 light gifts for one Heart.
- Purchase one-time Hearts from eligible Spirits or Guides where offered.
- Receive eligible appreciation rewards from Message Candles, Message Boats, Shared Spaces, or Shared Memories.
- Receive converted unused Seasonal Hearts after a Season ends.
3. Gifts of Light and Fragments
Friends can send small Gifts of Light through the constellation. Collecting enough light fills a Heart. This is different from a direct Heart gift, which is sent as a complete Heart using the friendship interface.
4. Hearts from Spirits
Some Spirits offer a Heart node in their friendship tree, usually after an earlier blessing node is unlocked. These purchases are generally one-time per Spirit. Traveling Spirits may offer a Heart if you have not already claimed that Spirit’s Heart during its Season or a previous visit.
5. Spending Hearts
Prioritize cosmetics you genuinely want, particularly items from realm constellations. Costs vary by Spirit and reward. Review the complete tree before spending so you can plan your Candle and Heart budget.
6. Safe Heart Exchanges
Friends sometimes agree to exchange Hearts. Make expectations clear, keep exchanges voluntary, and respect gifting limits. Do not buy Hearts for real money, use third-party sellers, share login details, or use extra accounts or automation to manipulate rewards. Use only the game’s built-in gifting features.
