Transfer Passes are essential for players looking to move to a new state in Whiteout Survival. Whether you want a more active community, better alliance opportunities, or just a fresh start, you’ll need these passes to complete the transfer in this strategy game. However, getting them isn’t always easy, and using them wisely is key to ensuring a smooth transition.

This guide will break down everything you need to know about Transfer Passes, from how to obtain them to how they affect the state transfer process. If you’re unfamiliar with how state transfers work, check out our state transfer guide for a full breakdown of the mechanics and restrictions.

What Are Transfer Passes?

Transfer Passes are in-game items required to move your city from one state to another during a State Transfer Event. The number of passes needed depends on your Transfer Score, which is based on factors like your Chief Power, Hero Power, and Equipment Level.

Each State Transfer Event lasts for seven days and is divided into three phases:

• Phase 1: Pre-Transfer (3 Days): Players can browse potential states, and state presidents set transfer power limits. No transfers can happen during this time.
• Phase 2: Invitational Transfer (2 Days): State presidents send out invites to select players.
• Phase 3: Open Transfer (2 Days): Any player meeting the power requirements can transfer, as long as there are available spots.

Since transfer slots are limited and first-come, first-served, having enough Transfer Passes ready before the event starts is crucial.

How to Get Transfer Passes

Transfer Passes can be obtained in two ways: purchasing them with real money or buying them with Alliance Tokens.

Buying Transfer Passes with Real Money

You can purchase Transfer Passes in the in-game shop. The pricing structure follows a tiered system, where packs unlock progressively:

• 1 Pass: $4.99
• 2 Passes: $9.99
• 3 Passes: $19.99
• 4 Passes: $49.99
• 5 Passes (15-pack bundle): $99.99

Each month, the shop resets, allowing players to purchase up to 85 Transfer Passes in total. Since each transfer costs between 1 and 50 passes, heavy spenders or high-power players may need to buy multiple packs.

Earning Transfer Passes Through the Alliance Shop

For free-to-play or low-spending players, Transfer Passes can be purchased using Alliance Tokens in the Alliance Shop. Each pass costs 150,000 Alliance Tokens and refreshes weekly. While this is a slower way to collect passes, it’s a viable option for those who don’t want to spend money.

How to Use Transfer Passes

Once a State Transfer Event begins, players who meet the eligibility requirements can use their Transfer Passes to switch states. Here’s how to do it:

• Check if your target state is available: The state must be within 90 days of your current state’s age and share the same Hero Generation and Fire Crystal level.
• Meet the transfer requirements: You must have a Furnace Level 30 or lower, be out of combat, and not be a state president.
• Ensure you have enough Transfer Passes: The number needed varies based on your Transfer Score (a high power level requires more passes).
• Initiate the transfer: Go to the State Transfer menu, select your destination state, and confirm the move.
• Teleport to your new state: Your city will randomly relocate within the Icefield, and you’ll receive a 24-hour shield to protect your base.

Since only one transfer is allowed per event, make sure you’re fully prepared before making the move.

State Transfer Restrictions and Considerations

While Transfer Passes are the key to moving states, several restrictions apply:

• One transfer per event: Even if you have extra passes, you can’t move again until the next event.
• Only four characters per state: If you already have four characters in a state, you can’t move another one there.
• Resource losses: Any resources exceeding your Storehouse Protection limit will be lost upon transfer.
• Event progress resets: Arena Points, Hero Rally progress, and some event leaderboards will reset when you move.

Additionally, some alliances may require invitations to join their state, especially if they have a power cap. If your power level is too high for an Ordinary Invite, you may need a Special Invite from the state president.

Should You Spend or Save Transfer Passes?

Since Transfer Passes take time to collect, deciding when to use them is important. Here’s when to spend them and when to save them:

• Spend Transfer Passes If:
  
• Your current state is inactive: If your server has low player activity, moving can improve your experience.
• You have an invitation to a better alliance: If a strong alliance in another state wants you, it’s worth considering.
• You’re stuck in a whale war: If high-spending players constantly attack everyone, switching states may provide a more balanced experience.
• You want to join friends: Playing in the same state as friends or allies can make the game more enjoyable.

• Save Transfer Passes If:
  
• Your state is balanced and competitive: If the server has strong alliances and good activity, there’s no urgent need to move.
• You don’t have enough passes: If you’re short on passes, waiting until the next event may be a better choice.
• You’re unsure about transferring: If you don’t have a specific destination in mind, it’s best to wait for a better opportunity.

If you plan on transferring, start collecting passes early so you’re ready when the next event arrives.

Transfer Passes are the key to moving between states in Whiteout Survival, but they require careful planning. Whether you’re buying them with real money or saving up Alliance Tokens, making sure you have enough passes before a State Transfer Event is crucial.

By understanding the costs, restrictions, and best times to transfer, you can make sure your move benefits your gameplay experience. If you’re looking for a fresh start or a better alliance, Transfer Passes give you the flexibility to find the best state for your playstyle.
