Now that you know what Custom Private servers are, you might be wondering what you can or cannot do on them. Before you dive into details, you'll be happy to know that you'll be able to share items and XP between official and Custom Private servers. Here's everything you need to know:

Your Crystgin, Lightforge Gems, Lightforge Ingots, Lightforge Relics, and Silver Keys are shared between official and custom servers. You can use these currencies to purchase or redeem premium cosmetics on custom servers.
Your Lightforge Loot Crate guarantee counter, draw history, and discounted Lightforge Ingot purchase limits are shared between official and custom servers.
All premium cosmetics are shared between official and custom servers. Fashion items and furniture formulas obtained through the Shop, Lightforge Loot Crates, or the Battle Pass can be used on custom servers. Likewise, any premium cosmetics obtained through these means can also be used on official servers.
Your Battle Pass is shared between official and custom servers, including its edition, level, and reward claim progress. Cosmetics and Silver Keys obtained through the Battle Pass can be used on both official and custom servers. The amount of Battle Pass Exp gained on a custom server is affected by the server's parameters.
Once purchased, Meta Pass privileges are available on both official and custom servers. Note that the Starshine Coffer guarantee is tracked separately for official and custom servers.
