Shards
Shards are the Winter Arena's premium currency, represented in-game with a blue crystal icon. They are earned primarily by spinning the Wheel of Fortune (the Cave's Mystery Wheel), and are spent at the Winter Arena shop on cosmetics and boosts.
Confirmed Shard-priced shop items: Crystal Box (15 Shards), Candy Cane / "Laska Cukrowa" (140 Shards) and Hoverboard (86 Shards). The green Haker hoverboard variant is priced higher, at 180 Shards.
Players who don't want to grind the Wheel of Fortune can buy Shards directly with Frostcoins in bulk packages. Six confirmed tiers: 90 Shards for 79 Frostcoins, 480 Shards for 249 Frostcoins, 980 Shards for 499 Frostcoins, 2,000 Shards for 999 Frostcoins, 5,200 Shards for 2,499 Frostcoins, and 11,000 Shards for 4,999 Frostcoins.

Shard bulk packages
Shards can be bought directly with Frostcoins in six confirmed package tiers, screenshot-verified from the Winter Arena shop:
90 Shards - 79 Frostcoins
480 Shards - 249 Frostcoins

2,000 Shards - 999 Frostcoins
5,200 Shards - 2,499 Frostcoins

Larger packages give more Shards per Frostcoin spent, so buying in bulk is more efficient than repeated small purchases - though the exact per-unit discount curve hasn't been formally analyzed on this wiki yet.
FAQ

Buying Winter Arena shop items: Crystal Box (15), Candy Cane (140), Hoverboard (86) and the Haker hoverboard variant (180).
How do I get Shards?
Primarily by spinning the Wheel of Fortune (the Cave's Mystery Wheel). You can also buy Shards directly with Frostcoins in bulk packages, from 90 Shards for 79 Frostcoins up to 11,000 Shards for 4,999 Frostcoins.
Are Shards the same as the 'gems' mentioned elsewhere on this wiki?
Likely yes - earlier Cave Mystery Wheel documentation referred to a blue-crystal reward currency as "gems," "shards" or "crystals" under inconsistent captioning. Shards is treated as the confirmed name going forward.
