Banned from Equestria Bits and Quests
Bits, purchases, and route gates
Bits are more than money. They control tickets, Spa scenes, and routes that depend on items. Spend without watching the clock and you can end up with closed doors late in the run.

| Shops | Supports specific route progress |
| Recovery | Lets you fix mistakes without restarting immediately |
Earning bits
Applejack’s tree-kicking minigame is a known money source. Results vary by kick strength, but the key idea is simple: farm before you commit to expensive gates.
Do not wait until you need exactly 50 bits. Earn early while you still have day and night flexibility.
Spa and “20 from the quest”
Many “20 from the quest” searches appear to come from Spa pricing or roughly 20-bit rewards. There is no official Alpha 1.5 side quest with that exact name.
Think of it this way:
- 20 bits often points to a basic Spa option.
- Higher costs unlock more expensive treatments.
- Some options can be limited by build or progress.
Spending plan
- Build a bit reserve on day 1.
- Save for purchases that open routes.
- Check night value before sleeping.
- Save before risky sequences when possible.
Summary
For completion, treat bits as route fuel. Casual runs can experiment, but good-ending runs benefit from tracking which purchases mattered.
