1. Overview – How the Deep Sea Eye Works

The Deep Sea Eye Merchant is a weekend event. It pops up every Saturday and stays until Monday reset. Simple format: it’s basically a disappearing shop.

• You’ll find a handful of items: Crimson Moonlight, Stardust, Gold bundles, and Resource bundles.
• You can buy up to 10 copies of each item per weekend.
• The price goes up with every purchase. First set feels cheap, the last set feels like daylight robbery.

Why write about it? Most veterans already know the drill. But newer players, or even mid-spenders who like efficiency, often ask the same thing: “Which items should I actually buy?”

Because while the menu looks tempting, the math says otherwise.

This guide breaks down each item, compares it to alternatives in the game, and shows you where you actually get value. Think of it as your gem efficiency manual for the Deep Sea Eye.

2. Crimson Moonlight – Chaos-Only, Costly, and Rarely Worth It

Crimson Moonlight comes in packs of four. The first pack costs 1600 gems, then rises fast — +200 gems for a few rounds, then +400, and later +1000 per tier. The tenth set costs 6000 gems, roughly 50 dollars for just four Crimson Moonlight. At first glance, that sounds bad. But what really limits its value is who can use it, only Chaos Immortals.

That makes it a niche item by design.

Free-to-play players and most mid-spenders won’t benefit much unless they already have Chaos units developed, which takes months of progress or serious spending.

If your main team isn’t Chaos, you’re basically throwing gems into the sea.

Let’s compare real costs.

In the Spin, 140 Pearls of Finding cost about 40 dollars and yield ~150 Crimson Moonlight.

That’s around 0.27 dollars each, far better than the Deep Sea Eye, where even the cheapest pack is over ten times pricier per unit.

So when should you buy?

Only if you’re gem-rich and chasing a specific Chaos upgrade right now.

Otherwise, the Spin or Golden Path remains a smarter long-term source.

Maël’s Opinion: Crimson Moonlight is a luxury for Chaos mains, not a necessity for everyone else. The event sells exclusivity more than efficiency. Great if you’re already deep into Chaos, pointless if you’re not.

3. Stardust – Smart Investment or Gem Trap

Stardust is one of the most important resources in Infinity Kingdom. It powers your Immortal Portraits, unlocks % stat boosts, and strengthens your best units more than any other upgrade. The Deep Sea Merchant sells it in bundles of 7, up to 10 times per weekend. But like everything in this shop, the price climbs fast.

The Deep Sea Merchant sells ten bundles of seven Stardust each. Prices start at 560 gems and increase with every purchase, ending at 2100 gems for the tenth pack. That’s 70 Stardust for around 12,000 gems total.

When you compare that to other sources like the Celebration Shop (which is the shop from any seasonal event), Arena Shop, or Rift Breaker, it’s clear that Deep Sea prices rise quickly. But that doesn’t mean it’s all bad.

If you have plenty of gems, go ahead and buy all ten packs. Even at the higher tiers, you’ll accelerate your Immortal progress faster than any other regular method.

If you’re careful with gem management or running low, stop after the first four bundles. Up to that point, the cost per Stardust stays below market value and gives you the best efficiency for your gems.

Maël’s opinion: Stardust is always worth collecting, but smart timing matters. High rollers can clean out the shop, while everyday players should stop early and focus on value. Either way, this is one of the few Deep Sea offers that’s actually worth considering.

4. Gold – A Bottleneck That Isn’t Worth Gems Here

Gold is a constant pain point in Infinity Kingdom, especially for new players leveling dragons, boosting skills, or powering up Immortals. The Deep Sea Eye tries to sell you shortcuts, but the math just doesn’t hold.

• First set: 1,300 gems for 1 million gold
• Each additional set doubles at first, then climbs by 650 gems later on
• That means by the 10th set you’re paying thousands of gems for what barely moves the needle

For context, a single level 50 dragon can require more than 40 million gold. Buying that much from the merchant would cost absurd amounts of gems.

Where to actually get gold instead:

• Mysterium
• Infernal Assault
• Transmuting in alchemy buildings
• Daily farming

Maël’s opinion: The Deep Sea Eye’s gold offer looks tempting for rookies who run dry often, but it’s a trap. The price scaling is brutal, and you’ll regret wasting gems that could go into long-term resources like Stardust or Chaos fragments. Farm your gold, don’t buy it here.

5. Resources – Looks Cheap, Still a Bad Deal

The merchant also sells bundles of 1,000,000 food, wood, stone, or iron.

• First pack: 320 gems
• Each following pack climbs by 320, until halfway through where it slows to +160
• If you buy all 10 sets, you spend 15,200 gems for just 10 million resources

At first glance, that may feel okay because events often drain food and wood fast. But the reality is different.

• You can farm resources constantly for free on the map, dead castles are a thing, or use your alts
• Alliance help and market deals are better sources long-term
• Even with a 40 percent market discount, the Deep Sea Eye’s rate is never truly efficient

So while resources matter for building, this shop isn’t where you should get them.

Maël’s opinion: The resource bundles are the “dont try” of this event. They seem useful, but they’re a gem sink disguised as convenience. Farm, trade, and event-grind your way instead. Spending gems here is throwing value away.

6. Summary – The Deep Sea Trap

The Deep Sea Eye looks like a premium weekend treat, but most of its offers aren’t worth your gems.

Here’s the short version:

• Crimson Moonlight – Only for Chaos Immortals. Rare but overpriced. Skip unless you’re desperate for a few shards.
• Stardust – Power, but buy only up to the 4th pack. Beyond that, the price per Stardust skyrockets.
• Gold – Always short, but the Deep Sea Eye isn’t the fix. The ratio is too bad to justify the cost.
• Resources – Common, easy to get elsewhere, and not worth the gem drain.

The event feels more like a luxury shop than a value one. Good for those sitting on piles of gems, bad for efficiency players who care about long-term growth.

Maël’s opinion: Deep Sea Eye is flashy, and that’s its trick. It makes you want to spend, not need to. Buy a few Stardust packs if you’re feeling generous, but otherwise, sail past this merchant and save your gems for events that actually pay back.

7. Final Thoughts – Spend or Sail Away

The Deep Sea Eye is not a trap for everyone, but it’s definitely not a gold mine either.

It rewards smart planning, not impulse spending.

Here’s the breakdown by player type:

• Free-to-play – Stick to the first few Stardust packs if you can. Every gem counts, and you’ll get better long-term value saving for events or Market discounts.
• Mid-spenders – Treat Deep Sea Eye as a supplement, not a main source. Use it when you need a quick push to hit a portrait milestone.
• Whales – You can buy it all.

The event does add flavor to weekends, but until prices scale better, it’s not a must-buy for most players.

Maël’s opinion: The merchant looks generous, but this is a test of restraint. You’ll always want to click, but the best move is often to walk away. Unless you’ve got gem reserves and a goal, leave the ship untouched.

Now it’s your turn, what do you think?

With Stardust sitting at the heart of power progression, and events like Deep Sea Eye making it easier yet pricier to grab a few extra, should players have the option to reborn Immortals and recover the Stardust they invested in portraits?
