The Galaxy of Lemuria’s Shard Store launches Nov. 13, letting players spend Lemurite Shards earned from daily quests

In Brief:

• The Galaxy of Lemuria is set to launch its Shard Store on Nov. 13. Lemurite Shards collected through daily quests can be exchanged there for wings, equipment, hairstyles and more.
• On X, the game’s @PlayLemuria account attached the $LEM ticker to the shards. The official Shard Store documentation makes no mention of a token or a chain, and it doesn’t say whether shards are tradable.
• The store arrives after the Radiance update, which added Lemurite Shards to the game and launched a sale limited to 400 NFT bundles, with 10,000 shards in each bundle.

Players of The Galaxy of Lemuria will get a place to spend their Lemurite Shards on Nov. 13, when the game’s Shard Store opens. Shards are earned from daily quests.

The date came from a post on X by the @PlayLemuria account. “Play daily, stack your shards, and exchange them for wings, equipment, hairstyles & more!” it read. The post called the currency “Lemurite Shards! ($LEM)” and pointed readers to the game’s GitBook for more information.

What’s on sale in the store

According to the Shard Store page on the game’s GitBook, the store carries four types of goods: wings for customizing characters, weapons and equipment, hairstyles, and special items that help during play.

The page says shards come from daily quests and other gameplay. Players can claim daily quest rewards “once per day,” and unspent shards keep piling up until they’re used.

The page states that taking part requires no real-money purchase. It aims the system at both casual and committed players with the line “your daily progress matters.”

Where $LEM fits

The $LEM ticker appears next to Lemurite Shards in the X post, but nowhere in the Shard Store documentation. That documentation says nothing about a token or a blockchain, and it describes no way to trade shards or take them out of the game.

The team has not said publicly whether shards can be traded or withdrawn. Until the studio spells out the link between shards and $LEM, players should be careful with any $LEM listing they find elsewhere and verify it with the official @PlayLemuria account and playlemuria.com.

How the daily quests work

The game’s quests and achievements documentation says daily quests reset every 24 hours and vary in difficulty. “Rewards offered from a daily quest are equivalent to the level of difficulty,” it states.

It gives no figure for how many shards any single quest awards.

The Radiance update and bundle sale

The Radiance update introduced Lemurite Shards, and @PlayLemuria said it went live in early November. The game is playable at playlemuria.com/game.

The update also opened a limited NFT sale. A Radiant Collection Bundle contains 16 exclusive NFTs plus 10,000 Lemurite Shards, and only 400 bundles will be sold. Those shards are added to anything a player earns through quests.

That means shards are available through free daily play or through a paid bundle, although the store page says using the store requires no purchase. The material reviewed for this story did not include bundle prices.

Background

Lemuria Online SpA makes The Galaxy of Lemuria, a free MMORPG. Its whitepaper, dated Oct. 11, 2021, describes a trading card-based system and a procedurally generated galaxy for players to explore. In-game items can be stored on the blockchain.

The game is on Polygon and available for Windows, Mac and Android. The studio began building on Immutable in April 2025, when @PlayLemuria posted: “Delighted to finally be building on @Immutable!”

Around the same time, Immutable promoted the game to its users. “Discover The Galaxy Of Lemuria and earn 50 Gems! An anime-style fantasy MMORPG – new patch drops soon with $10,000 in rewards,” Immutable’s post read.
