Whiteout Survival VIP Levels
Whiteout Survival has 12 VIP levels, and each one adds steps of power: faster resource production, a bigger Storehouse, more saved squads, an extra march queue and, around VIP 10, bonuses for your troops. You climb by earning VIP XP, which starts at 2,500 for VIP 2 and reaches 2,400,000 for VIP 12. VIP Time is a separate timer that switches the benefits on. Checked in November 2026.
VIP Levels and XP Needed
Every VIP level has its own VIP XP step. The table shows the XP you need to go from the previous level to this one, the running total from VIP 1, and the perks you get at the level. Perks keep stacking: a level keeps everything the levels before it gave. A perk followed by an asterisk is listed by some guides and left out by others.
| VIP level | XP from previous level | Total XP | Resource production | Storehouse capacity | Construction speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 2% | 100,000 | - |
| 2 | 2,500 | 2,500 | 4% | 150,000 | - |
| 3 | 5,000 | 7,500 | 6% | 200,000 | - |
| 4 | 12,500 | 20,000 | 8% | 300,000 | 10% |
| 5 | 30,000 | 50,000 | 10% | 400,000 | 10% |
| 6 | 40,000 | 90,000 | 12% | 500,000 | 10% |
| 7 | 60,000 or 70,000 | 150,000 or 160,000 | 14% | 600,000 | 10% |
| 8 | 100,000 | 250,000 or 260,000 | 16% | 700,000 | 10% |
| 9 | 350,000 | 600,000 or 610,000 | 18% | 700,000 or 800,000 | 10% or 20% |
| 10 | 600,000 | 1,200,000 or 1,210,000 | 20% | 900,000 | 20% |
| 11 | 1,200,000 | 2,400,000 or 2,410,000 | 22% | 1,000,000 | 20% |
| 12 | 2,400,000 | 4,800,000 or 4,810,000 | 24% | 1,100,000 | 20% |
The first ten levels are cheap compared with the end. VIP 7 asks for 60,000 or 70,000 XP, VIP 10 for 600,000, and VIP 12 for 2,400,000. That last step alone is about as much XP as VIP 1 to VIP 11 put together.
VIP Perks by Level
Besides the production and build bonuses, VIP unlocks saved squads, a march queue and troop bonuses. Saved squads go up by one at VIP 5 and by two at VIP 8. The extra march queue arrives at VIP 6 or VIP 7. Troop Defense, Attack and Health bonuses appear around VIP 10 and rise by 2% per level, and VIP 12 adds a Lethality bonus.
| VIP level | Extra squads | Extra march queue | Troops Defense | Troops Attack | Troops Health | Troops Lethality |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | +1 | - | - | - | - | - |
| 6 | +1 | +1* | - | - | - | - |
| 7 | +1 | +1 | - | - | - | - |
| 8 | +2 | +1 | - | - | - | - |
| 9 | +2 | +1 | 10%* | - | - | - |
| 10 | +2 | +1 | 12% | 12% | 12%* | - |
| 11 | +2 | +1 | 14% | 14% | 14% | - |
| 12 | +2 | +1 | 16% | 16% | 16% | 16% |
From VIP 10 on, the game also shortens the cooldown for uploading a custom avatar by 48 hours. The troop bonuses matter most for rallies and city defense, and the troops guide explains how Attack, Defense and Health combine in a fight.
VIP Daily Free Bundle
Every VIP level adds a daily free bundle that you collect while your VIP Time is active. It holds Hero Shards and manuals, and the rarity climbs with the level. The first Mythic General Hero Shard comes at VIP 7 in some guides and VIP 8 in others.
| VIP level | General Hero Shard | Exploration Manual | Expedition Skill Manual |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | - | 1 Rare | 1 Rare |
| 2 | 1 Rare | 1 Rare | 1 Rare |
| 3 | 2 Rare | 1 Epic | 1 Epic |
| 4 | 1 Epic | 1 Epic | 1 Epic |
| 5 | 1 Epic | 2 Epic | 2 Epic |
| 6 | 2 Epic | 2 Epic | 2 Epic |
| 7 | 1 Mythic (guides list VIP 7 or 8) | 2 Epic | 2 Epic |
| 8 | 1 Mythic | 1 Mythic | 1 Mythic |
| 9 | 2 Mythic | 1 Mythic | 1 Mythic |
| 10 | 2 Mythic | 2 Mythic | 2 Mythic |
| 11 | 3 Mythic | 2 Mythic | 2 Mythic |
| 12 | 6 Mythic | 2 Mythic | 2 Mythic |
VIP 12 pays out the most, with 6 Mythic General Hero Shards every day. The hero leveling guide shows what shards and manuals do for your lineup.
How to Earn VIP XP
VIP XP comes from the daily login, from spending Gems, from the Alliance Shop and from eligible packs. You can also turn Gems into XP directly: 2,000 Gems buy 1,000 VIP XP.
At that rate, covering all 4,800,000 XP of the climb to VIP 12 with Gems alone would cost about 9,600,000 Gems. Daily logins and packs cover the rest. The alliance guide explains how to earn the Alliance Tokens that the Alliance Shop takes.
The video explains VIP points and VIP levels: where VIP XP comes from, what each level adds and how VIP time works.
VIP Time Explained
VIP Time activates the benefits of the level you already have. You can activate it with Gems, and the Ultra Value Monthly Card gives a full 30 days.
| VIP Time | Cost in Gems | Gems per day |
|---|---|---|
| 24 hours | 1,000 | 1,000 |
| 7 days | 3,000 | 429 |
| 30 days | 10,000 | 333 |
The longer packages are cheaper per day: 429 Gems a day for the 7-day option and 333 for the 30-day one, against 1,000 for a single day. Buy a longer package only when you will log in for the whole period.
VIP Shop
The VIP shop sells Chief Stamina and the Advanced Teleporter for Gems. The Advanced Teleporter costs 2,000 Gems there, while the same teleport with no item on hand costs 4,000 Gems. Chief Stamina is the item that powers troop deployments. The teleport guide shows how the Advanced Teleporter compares with the Random, Alliance and Territory types.
Frost Stars
Frost Stars are an in-game currency for buying packs and special offers, and they are separate from Gems. You buy them from the official store with your User ID, and what you buy arrives through in-game mail. When you confirm a pack purchase, the game shows your Frost Star balance and spends Frost Stars to complete it.
- Packs bought with Frost Stars count toward cumulative Top-up Points under the pack rules.
- Frost Stars do not count toward top-up events.
- They cannot be transferred between characters, even on the same account.
- If your balance is too low, the game does not use Frost Stars for that purchase.
- Paid Frost Stars are used before bonus ones.
- Tundra Supply Station event packs cannot be bought with Frost Stars.
Because the stars stay on one character, buy them on the character that will use the packs. If you run several characters, the account guide explains how they are organized.
What to Spend Gems On
Gems go the furthest on things that last. A few priorities that guides share:
- VIP level. One guide suggests VIP 7 as an early target for a free player.
- Lucky Wheel. Save Gems for the wheel of the Hero generation you want instead of splitting them across earlier generations. The generations guide shows which Heroes each generation holds.
- VIP Time. Choose the 30-day option over a run of 24-hour ones if you play daily.
- Teleporters. Buy them from the shops rather than paying 4,000 Gems on the spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much VIP XP do I need for VIP 12?
VIP 12 asks for 2,400,000 VIP XP on its own step, and the steps from VIP 2 to VIP 12 add up to 4,800,000 VIP XP, or 4,810,000 in guides that list VIP 7 at 70,000. The Gem exchange of 2,000 Gems for 1,000 VIP XP shows how far away that is, and VIP XP also comes from the daily login, the Alliance Shop and eligible packs.
What is VIP time in Whiteout Survival?
VIP Time is a timer that activates your VIP benefits. You can buy 24 hours for 1,000 Gems, 7 days for 3,000 Gems or 30 days for 10,000 Gems, and the Ultra Value Monthly Card also gives 30 days. VIP Time does not raise your VIP level. Only VIP XP does that.
What is in the VIP shop?
The VIP shop sells Chief Stamina and the Advanced Teleporter. The Advanced Teleporter costs 2,000 Gems there, against 4,000 Gems when you teleport without one in your Backpack. The teleport guide lists the other places that sell it.
What are Frost Stars?
Frost Stars are an in-game currency for buying packs and special offers, and they are separate from Gems. Frost Stars cannot be moved between characters, paid Frost Stars are used before bonus ones, and Tundra Supply Station event packs cannot be bought with them.
What should I spend Gems on first?
Keep Gems for goals that last. One guide suggests VIP 7 as an early target for free players, then saving Gems for the Lucky Wheel of the Hero generation you want. Avoid spending Gems on routine resources and speedups, and check VIP Time when a perk such as the extra march queue disappears.
When do I get the extra march queue?
The extra march queue is a VIP perk that guides place at VIP 6 or VIP 7, and it stays at +1 up to VIP 12. If it vanishes later, your VIP Time has probably run out, so check the timer in the VIP window.
