Another Crab’s Treasure Shell Insurance explained: How to keep your favorite shells

Shells are a big deal in Another Crab’s Treasure. Not only are they your primary source of defense, they also grant you special abilities for combat. That’s why when you find your favorite shell, you won’t want to let it go so easily.

Luckily for players, there’s a way to insure all of your shells so you can ensure (see what I did there?) you won’t ever lose your favorite home.

Another Crab’s Treasure: What is Shell Insurance?

Normally in Another Crab’s Treasure, if you die you lose the shell you were wearing when you respawn. To get your shell back, you’ll have to visit the location where you died and pick it up. But if you die before recovering your junk, that shell is gone, and you’ll need to find another one in the wild. Some shells only spawn in only a handful of locations, making them hard to recover. Shell Insurance allows you to respawn with whatever shell you’ve insured.

To insure a shell in Another Crab’s Treasure, you need to have reached the sparkling city of New Carcinia and visit Shellfish Desires in the Upper Crust. Speak to the Shellfish Greeter, who will then give you the option to insure any shell you’ve collected. This process will cost you Microplastic, though, and some shells are more expensive to insure than others.

How to spawn with different insured shells in Another Crab’s Treasure

Once you’ve handed over Microplastic in exchange for insurance, you’ll be able to respawn with whatever shell you purchased coverage for. But first, you need to select it from the Shell Collection tab at Moon Snail Shells. To do so, follow these steps:

• Enter any Moon Snail Shell.
• Select “Shell Collection”
  • Any insured shell will have a grey pin icon in the top right corner of the shell icon.
• Choose the insured shell you’d like to respawn with.
  • Your chosen shell will have a blue pin icon in the top right corner of the icon.
• The next time you respawn at a Moon Snail Shell, you’ll spawn with the shell you’ve selected.

How much does each shell cost to insure?

Shells can range from 500 Microplastics to thousands, depending on how difficult it is to find them and how strong they are in combat. The shells you can purchase from Shellfish Desires, like the Felix Cube or the Impostor shells, automatically come insured, so you won’t have to worry about paying extra to cover them.
