Dalas is Stand Out’s currency. The display at the lower right shows just a number, while Big Chop’s shop identifies that amount as DALAS. On the Workbench, the 2X COINS BOOSTER recipe describes its result as a “2X Dalas Booster.” Both names refer to the same currency. Early in the game, few activities offer strong payouts, and one of the best-paying options remains locked until you progress through the story.
Quick answer: Push the story quests first. They pay the most early on. Bounties open after Report to Meryl at Iko Iko. Craft a 2X Coins Booster from three identical Rokas right before a payout.
Story quests pay the most Dalas early
In the opening stretch of Stand Out, story quests are the most reliable source of Dalas. They pay out as soon as you finish the objective. You don’t need a level, a crafted item, or any setup. Two early quests show how much you can expect.
| Quest | Objective | Dalas paid |
|---|---|---|
| Escape With the Diamond | Escape Rohan’s villa | +75 |
| Wild Cat Size | Defeat the three Cat Size cats | +200 |
When you finish the villa escape, a banner appears that reads “Quest Completed! | +400 EXP | +75 Dalas”. That banner is your confirmation that the payment went through. Wild Cat Size pays more. Clearing all three cats raises the bottom-right counter by 200, for example from 1,375 to 1,575. Watch that counter if you want to check that a payout landed.
There is a second reason to keep moving through the story. Bounties stay locked until you reach a specific story step, so progressing the story also opens up the repeatable money.
How to unlock bounties in Stand Out
Open your phone and tap BOUNTIES in the app grid. The board opens on a TIER 1 selector with left and right arrows. Below it is a line showing how many jobs are listed and a countdown to the next refresh. All seven Tier 1 jobs and their rewards are visible right away, which makes it look like you can start one immediately.
You can’t. If you press Begin on any card, this message appears across the top of the screen: “Bounties unlock later in the story, after Report to Meryl at Iko Iko.” Every job is blocked until you reach that story step. Progressing the main story is the only way to open the board. The message names that step as the point where bounties open; for every job and its card text, see the Stand Out bounties list.
All Tier 1 cards say “No level requirement.” Your level won’t prevent you from taking a bounty; story progress is the gate.
Stand Out bounty rewards (Tier 1)
Each bounty card has two halves. Requirements are on the left and Rewards are on the right. Every Tier 1 job has a time limit, and two of them also cap how many times you can die. The Dalas amounts are close to each other, so pick jobs based on their limits and on whether they can drop an item.
| Job | Limits | Dalas | Exp |
|---|---|---|---|
| Save Chubby Baby | Time Limit 12:00 | x25 | x16 |
| Trust Me on This One | Time Limit 12:00 | x27 | x15 |
| Your Personal Helper Friend | Time Limit 8:00 | x27 | x14 |
| MISSING FROG | Time Limit 12:00, Limited Deaths 8 | x24 | x16 |
| PACO’S CHALLENGE | Time Limit 12:00, Limited Deaths 4 | x27 | x15 |
| ROHAN’S DRAWING CONTEST | Time Limit 12:00 | x23 | x16 |
| USAGI’S KARAOKE NIGHT | Time Limit 10:00 | x24 | x14 |
The top payout is 27 Dalas, and three jobs offer it. Trust Me on This One and PACO’S CHALLENGE both give a 12-minute window, although PACO’S CHALLENGE only allows four deaths. Your Personal Helper Friend pays the same amount but gives you the shortest clock on the board. ROHAN’S DRAWING CONTEST pays the least.
What each bounty asks you to do
- Save Chubby Baby: find Chubby Baby and rescue him from the evil Jellyfish sent to steal him.
- Trust Me on This One: follow Hey Ya!’s plan to retrieve the missing case, using a can and a bell and standing at one precise spot.
- Your Personal Helper Friend: meet Berity by way of a talking box, retrieve Hubert’s package, uncover the scheme, and stop Berity at the construction site before he reaches Hubert.
- MISSING FROG: find the lost frog somewhere in town and pick it up.
- PACO’S CHALLENGE: take on Paco in an arm-wrestling match, and step in to help him if things take a bad turn.
- ROHAN’S DRAWING CONTEST: challenge Rohan outside his front doors and finish your Heaven’s Door head drawing before he does.
- USAGI’S KARAOKE NIGHT: speak to Usagi, join him at the karaoke booth, and complete the song he chooses.
Rare drops on bounty cards
Four jobs can drop a clothing item in addition to the Dalas. Their cards show a section labelled “Drop pool (each item rolls separately)” with a Rare heading underneath. Each item in that pool has a 2% chance of dropping.
| Job | Rare drops (2% each) |
|---|---|
| Trust Me on This One | Usagi’s Backpack, Usagi’s Pants & Belt |
| Your Personal Helper Friend | Jodio’s Earrings, Jodio’s Jacket, Jodio’s Pants |
| PACO’S CHALLENGE | Paco’s Hat, Paco’s Jacket, Paco’s Pants |
| USAGI’S KARAOKE NIGHT | Usagi’s Backpack, Usagi’s Pants & Belt |
How to craft the 2X Dalas booster at a Workbench
To get more out of each payout, double it. You craft the doubler at a Workbench, where it is listed as 2X COINS BOOSTER. Its description spells out how it works:
Press 3 identical Rokas of one grade into a 2X Dalas Booster you use when you want it, worth 1 minute at F up to 5 minutes at SSS and double for mutated Rokas.
In practice, you bring three identical Rokas of the same grade. The higher the grade, the longer the booster lasts, from one minute at F up to five minutes at SSS. Mutated Rokas double that duration. The card says you use it when you want it, so you can hold it until you are about to earn.
Because the booster only runs when you activate it, use it right before you expect a payout.
Raids with Donatello require level 20
Donatello runs raids in town, but you can’t do them early. If you talk to him before you’re ready, he says, “You wouldn’t survive a past event yet, so come back at level 20.” Your only option is “1. Bye.” Raids stay off the table until you reach level 20, so put that time into story quests instead.
Selling produce to Big Chop for Dalas
Big Chop, at Big Chop’s Garden, buys goods for Dalas. This is a slower route, and you need something in your bag before it’s worth anything. Talk to him and choose option 3, “I want to sell something.” That opens BIG CHOP SHOP, which has three tabs (SUPPLIES, SEEDS, and SELL). The header shows your current Dalas.
Open the SELL tab. It reads “Bring produce, mixed/or animal feed, or beach finds to sell to Big Chop.” In other words, he buys garden produce, animal feed, and items you find on the beach. If you arrive with none of those, the tab has nothing to sell. Gather some first, then come back.
