Caliber in The First Descendant is a special currency that funds the game's microtransactions, used to buy characters, cosmetics, rewards and more besides. Alongside with Gold, it's probably one of the most important currencies in The First Descendant, though you might notice that obtaining it is a lot harder to do. Below we've explained how you can get Caliber - but be warned, there's only one way, and you can probably guess what it is.

Caliber in The First Descendant can only be obtained by paying money, you cannot get Caliber for free in-game through any route at time of writing. No enemy will drop it, no mission will reward you with Caliber, and there's no means to unlock it that doesn't involve a cash payment. It's possible that'll change with future updates, but there's no reason to suspect anything any time soon.
