How to get Shining Hunter Sticks quickly in Cookie Run Kingdom
Daily Login Rewards
The first way is to earn around 1,600 free Shining Hunter Sticks in Cookie Run Kingdom by simply logging in to the game every day. You’ll receive 100 sticks per day for 13 days, and on the 14th day, you’ll get 500, after which the event will end.
The best part is that the rewards accumulate, so even if you miss a day, you can still collect them later. To get them, simply go to the “Daily Rewards” section on the “Events” tab.
Event Shop
Another way to get more Shining Hunter Sticks is to visit the Event Shop and take them from the “Best Deals” section. You can get 40 sticks for free every day, which will give you a total of 1,200 sticks if you log in daily.
Additionally, you can exchange Crystals in the Event Shop for an additional 1,000 sticks at a rate of 200 Crystals per exchange.
Shining Hunter Sticks Mission Trial
This event includes a series of tasks that you can complete to earn a huge number of these sticks for the HUNTR/X Cookies. In total, you can get around 9,330 sticks (8,130 for regular tasks and 1,200 for daily missions) in the Shining Hunter Sticks Mission Trial in Cookie Run Kingdom.
Some missions are simple, such as sending an “Air Expedition” or “Jelly Train”. Others require more effort, such as using the Cookie gacha 100 times or sending the “Trade Ship” 24 times.
“My Little Soda Pop!” event from Saja Boys
Players can also get Shining Hunter Sticks from the “My Little Soda Pop!” event from Saja Boys. However, unlike other methods, this one is not guaranteed, as the results are based on RNG.
There is a chance of 0.4796% to 0.9539% to win 300 to 500 sticks when pulling the Saja Boys guest Cookies from their banner.

Derpy Pass
This event pass is also a rich source of Shining Hunter Sticks. It includes tasks that you will mostly complete by playing other modes, such as the Shining Hunter Sticks Mission Trial, Saja Boys pull, “Live! Survival on Stage!”, Wish Tree, orders, and battles in the Kingdom Arena.
By completing Derpy Pass missions, you earn pass points and get 700 Shining Hunter Sticks. If you purchase the paid pass, you’ll unlock the premium track and be able to collect up to 6,000 additional sticks.
“Rumi Cookie’s Derpy Jump”
In Cookie Run Kingdom, a new temporary mini-game called “Rumi Cookie’s Derpy Jump” has been added, where your character jumps on platforms and collects “Lost Fan Letters”, and you control the movement using the side buttons.
After the game ends, you can convert these letters into “Cherry Fan Letters” and exchange them in the Letter Shop for 1,000 Shining Hunter Sticks (200 at a time). You can also get an additional 400 sticks by reaching higher platforms.
“The Honmoon Stamp Rally”
To get even more Shining Hunter Sticks, you can also participate in the “The Honmoon Stamp Rally” event. Completing these trials will give you a total of 700 sticks:
- Get all 3 HUNTR/X Cookies on board the Crunchy HUNTR/X Private Jet
- Place all 3 HUNTR/X Cookies in the “Golden Glaze” set
- Place 10 Kimbap Tile Walls in your Kingdom
- Place 1 Saja Boys Cookie on the “Soda Pop Can Stage”
- Get 3 “Your Idol” costumes for the Saja Boys Cookies
“HUNTR/X Show in the Cookie World!”
If you haven’t gotten your favorite HUNTR/X Cookie yet and need more Shining Hunter Sticks, try playing the special episode “HUNTR/X Show in the Cookie World!”.
By completing battles, such as “The Secret Revealed”, “I Want to Meet You”, “The Concert Begins”, “I Was Born for This”, and “Golden”, you’ll get 150 Shining Hunter Sticks for the first completion of each.
You can also collect an additional 300 sticks from the event banner and 400 more from the “Derpy & Sussie Shop” in exchange for “Idol Catnip Coins”.
Gwi-Ma! Demon Distress
This event works like the “Red Velvet Dragon” mode: you fight a giant demon Gwi-Ma! with a team of five Cookies. You can assemble a team for ATK, CRIT, or CRIT.DMG to deal serious damage.
The more attempts you make, the better the rewards will be. You can usually get the following Shining Hunter Sticks:
Here’s how many Shining Hunter Sticks you can get for a certain number of attempts in the “Gwi-Ma! Demon Distress” event:
- 16 attempts — 100 sticks
- 22 attempts — 200 sticks
- 32 attempts — 500 sticks
Live! Survival on Stage!
The “Live! Survival on Stage!” event immerses you in a mini-game where you fight demons and bosses, earning HUNTR/X Survival Coins. These coins can be exchanged in the shop for 700 Shining Hunter Sticks.
Additionally, there are character-related tasks on the event page. Completing them will give you around 1,100 Shining Hunter Sticks.
| Cookie | Tasks | Shining Hunter Sticks |
|---|---|---|
| Rumi | Earn 5,000,000 points in “Survival on Stage” mode | 200 |
| Complete all 10 tasks | 500 | |
| Miru | Earn 20,000,000 points in “Survival on Stage” mode | 200 |
| Zouy | Earn 50,000,000 points in “Survival on Stage” mode | 200 |
Currency Landmarks
One of the simplest ways to get a lot of Shining Hunter Sticks in Cookie Run Kingdom is to place event currency landmarks, specifically the Crunchy HUNTR/X Private Jet and the “Golden Glaze” set, in your Kingdom. These landmarks generate Shining Hunter Sticks daily, giving you around 200 sticks per day.
If you want to know how to get these landmarks, you can do so by completing the “The Honmoon Stamp Rally” and “Golden Costume Gacha” events.
