On top of the tiers it has three worlds with their own prestiges and an Omnitool with 128 enchants, and it has been live since 17 October 2026, ahead of OPLegends' announced launch. SunRealms sells its progress: Sunbit packs up to $237.99, ranks, crates and sellwands, and the crates and sellwands you paid for are wiped every month. On TalonMC every item in the in-game /store costs Credits you earn by playing, the tutorial alone pays 41 crate keys and milestones pay 18,000 Credits.

## Why we prefer TalonMC Gens

We prefer TalonMC Gens because it is brand new. It launched on 17 October 2026, so nobody is years ahead of you, and an eight-chapter tutorial walks you through everything.
It also fixes the usual gens problem of waiting on drops: the Farm, the Mine and the Lake each have their own coins, levels and prestiges, worked with one Omnitool, and every prestige raises the Total Prestige that unlocks the next generator tiers.
It is also the free-to-play choice: every item in the in-game /store costs Credits you earn by playing, the tutorial pays 41 crate keys and milestones pay 18,000 Credits, where SunRealms sells Sunbits in packs up to $237.99 and wipes the crates and sellwands you bought every month. If you want a fresh start where nothing you earn is for sale, start on TalonMC.
