If you’re playing the Genshin Impact update with the new UGC mode Miliastra Wonderland, you may have seen the term Chronal Nexus and wondered what it is, how to get it, and what it’s for. This guide walks you through everything you need to know, in simple, easy-to-read terms.
Chronal Nexus is a special premium currency introduced for the Miliastra Wonderland mode. It works much like paid currencies in other games — you purchase it with real money and use it within that mode.
Here’s what it does:
- You can buy Chronal Nexus in the Miliastra Shop.
- Once you have Chronal Nexus, you can convert it into another currency called Arcane Keystone (at a 1:1 ratio) or spend it directly on cosmetics in the shop.
- Because it’s a premium currency, the only way to get it is by spending real money — there are no in-game methods to earn it for free as of now.
So if you’re planning to get Chronal Nexus, understand that it costs real-world money, but it opens access to exclusive cosmetics and pulls in that mode.
How to Buy Chronal Nexus
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to acquiring Chronal Nexus:
- Open Genshin Impact and go to the Miliastra Wonderland interface.
- Access the Miliastra Shop — it’s usually found via the Paimon menu in that mode.
- Look for the “Obtain Nexus” or similar tab, which lists all available Chronal Nexus packs. These packs will show how much Nexus you’ll receive, and sometimes include bonus Nexus.
- Choose the pack that suits you and confirm payment through your platform (PC, console, or mobile). For example, a 6,480 Nexus pack (plus a 1,600 bonus) has been listed at around $99.99 in some regions.
- After completing your purchase, the Nexus will be automatically added to your account.
- Prices vary depending on your region and local currency, so check your platform store for the final cost.
Once the purchase is complete, you can use your Nexus to buy items or convert them into Arcane Keystones.
What Can You Use Chronal Nexus For?
After you’ve bought Chronal Nexus, you can use it in several ways inside Miliastra Wonderland:
- Convert to Arcane Keystone:
If you want to make pulls in Miliastra Wonderland’s Premium Ode (the gacha system for that mode), you’ll need Arcane Keystones. You can convert your Chronal Nexus into Keystones at a 1:1 ratio. - Purchase Cosmetics or Items:
Some outfit sets, accessories, or visual items can be purchased directly with Chronal Nexus, without relying on the pull system. - Unlock Special Passes or Levels:
Occasionally, new features or seasonal passes in Miliastra Wonderland allow spending Nexus for additional benefits.
In short, if you’re chasing exclusive looks, new designs, or premium gacha pulls in the UGC mode, Chronal Nexus is the key to it all.
Important Considerations Before Buying
Since Chronal Nexus is a real-money purchase, it’s worth keeping a few things in mind before spending:
- Budget wisely: Decide your spending limit before you start buying. The packs can add up quickly if you’re not careful.
- Understand the conversion: Buying the currency is one step; using it efficiently within the mode is another. Make sure you know what each purchase does.
- Regional pricing: Prices vary depending on where you live and the platform you’re playing on. Always check your local store.
- Free vs. Paid Play: Chronal Nexus cannot be earned through gameplay. Players who prefer a completely free experience can still enjoy Miliastra Wonderland but won’t have access to premium pulls or cosmetic purchases.
- Check bonuses: Some packs include bonus Nexus amounts — calculate the value before purchasing.
- Mode-specific currency: Chronal Nexus is used only within Miliastra Wonderland. It doesn’t carry over to other parts of Genshin Impact.
