Boosts explained

Boosts are your way to tell the Wand team what you’d like us to work on next, from new mods and fixes to feature ideas. Free users can also use them to get more playtime.

Influence development: Use Boosts to show which games you want new mods for and which broken mods you’d like fixed.
More ways to use them: Suggest new mods, clip feature ideas, and for games Wand supports. Free users can also use Boosts to get 2 more hours of playtime once a day after reaching their daily limit.
Available to everyone: Free and Pro members can both earn and use Boosts. Pro members get 25 Boosts per month, and everyone can earn more through daily login streaks, one-time quests, the Daily Drop, and referring friends. Free users can also earn Boosts by watching ads.

Earning Boosts

Daily login streaks (all users): Log in every day to build your streak. A 5-day streak gives you 25 Boosts. A new day starts at 00:00 UTC, so log in before then to keep your streak going.

One-time quests (all users): Complete quests in the Pulse tab to earn Boosts.
Recurring quests (all users): Complete these quests again to keep earning Boosts.
- Try a New Game: Get 12 Boosts for starting mods in a game you’ve never played. Once a day.
- Welcome Back: Get 10 Boosts for opening Wand after 7 or more days away. Once every 28 days.
- Play Hard: Get 20 Boosts for playing 10 hours with mods running in one week (Sunday to Sunday). Once a week.

Daily Drop (all users): Open your Daily Drop for 5 to 100 Boosts, depending on its rarity. Unclaimed Daily Drops don’t carry over, so make sure to open yours each day.
Refer a friend (all users): When a new friend downloads Wand from your link, creates and verifies an account, and plays for 1 hour, you’ll get 100 Boosts. There’s no limit, and your link never expires.
Watch ads (free users only): Watch up to 3 ads a day and get 10 Boosts for each full video.
Monthly Boosts (Pro only): Get 25 Boosts every month with an active subscription (monthly or yearly). If your subscription ends, you’ll stop getting monthly Boosts, but you’ll keep the ones you have.

Note: You can't buy Boosts separately or transfer them between accounts. Boosts never expire, whether you’re a free user or a Pro subscriber.

Using Boosts

Using Boosts to suggest mods

Go to a game’s page and click the Suggest a mod option to suggest a new mod. You can find it in three ways:
- By clicking on the Help menu button (the ?) icon.
- Hover over the game at the top of the sidebar and click Suggestions.
- Scroll to the bottom of the game page and click Suggest a mod.

Click on +New suggestion! Add the mod name and any additional details about what the mod should do, then click Submit. Each suggestion costs 1 Boost.

Note: All suggestions, whether for mods, clip features, or other ideas, are reviewed by our team first, and only approved ones become public. Wand may also edit, merge, or not build them.

Using Boosts on the Ideas tab

Go to the Pulse tab and open Ideas to see suggestions from the community, ranked by Boosts.
Click New suggestion to share your own idea, from mods and maps to feature requests for Wand. Picking a game is optional. Each suggestion costs 1 Boost.

Note: If someone has already shared a similar idea, you’ll see it before submitting. You can Boost theirs instead, or click Continue to share your own! The window looks like this:
Boost the suggestions you’d like to see by clicking on the double-arrow icon to help them stand out.

Using Boosts to influence development

Open a game’s page, or go to the Pulse tab and check the Top Voted or Upcoming tabs.
If a game is Boost-eligible, click +1 (double arrow icon) to use 1 Boost, or +10 to use 10 at once.
You can also Boost suggestions from other users in the Ideas tab.
There’s no limit to how many Boosts you can use on one game or suggestion, so feel free to put more toward the ones you care about most.
