Dandy's World Currencies Guide

Overview

Currencies are interactive collectibles in Dandy's World that can be used for purchasing Toons, Trinkets, Skins, Stickers, and Items. There are six Currencies total.

Obtaining Currency

Ichor is earned by completing Machines (5 Ichor per Machine; if multiple players contributed, 1 Ichor per 20% of completion they contributed), collecting Research Capsules (2 per Capsule), using a Toon's non-Passive Ability for the first time on a Floor (5 Ichor, once per Floor), or purchasing with Robux.

Research is earned by collecting Research Capsules (1% per Capsule, 2% when playing as Rodger) and encountering Twisteds (5% per Encounter, 10% when playing as Rodger).

Tapes are earned by completing a Floor (10 Tapes), using Items (2 for Commons, 3 for Uncommons, 5 for Rares, 8 for Very Rares, 10 for Ultra Rares), completing Machines (10 Tapes for 100% completion, 1 per 10%), encountering Twisteds (5 Tapes per Twisted), and using a Toon's non-Passive Ability (3 Tapes).

Event Currencies (Baskets, Ornaments, Pumpkins) are earned by encountering Twisteds (1 per Encounter), collecting the Currency's Item collectables (5 per collectable), completing Machines (5 per Machine), and purchasing with Robux. Event Currency amounts are doubled on weekends.

Tips and Tricks

Having Coal in your run or playing as Pebble is excellent for collecting currency, as their Abilities highlight Items in their vicinity or across the entire Floor.

Playing as Rodger is extremely helpful for collecting Research, as his Passive Ability Detective allows him to collect double the amount of Research.

Using Bone Needle and Thread, Egg Radar, or Festive Lights during their respective Events can help collect Event Currency more quickly.

Playing as Toons with high Extraction Speed, Skill Check, or Abilities that assist in extracting Machines (like Eggson, Vee, or Gourdy) is helpful for collecting both Tapes and Ichor.

Trivia

All Event Currencies have been leaked earlier than their Events' releases.

The Event Currencies are the same object as the Event Main Toons.

All Common Event Trinkets are used to highlight their respective Event's currency. Research Map does something similar, but with Research instead.

Rodger is the only Toon that can collect double the amount of a currency (Research).

Coin Purse and Fancy Purse are the only Trinkets that can give the player a currency (Tapes).

Research and Tapes are the only Currencies that cannot be used for purchasing Stickers and Skins, and are the only currencies that cannot be bought with Robux. Tapes are the only Currency with no use outside of a run.

It is implied that Tapes contain recordings of the show, which may explain why Dandy wants them so badly, as they calm him down.
