The route at a glance
Gear score climbs in steps. Each step unlocks the content that feeds the next one, so do them in order instead of forcing one system too early.
| Score | Main source of gear | What you do there |
|---|---|---|
| 45 → ~1000 | Draupnir exploration, regional quests, Clash Runes, one manastone pass | Get the Unique Boots from the 3-run pity, set up the amulet and the PvP board |
| ~1000 → ~1400 | Side content you skipped: sealed dungeons, regionals, feathers, strongholds, Rift | Collect every free crystal, scroll and feather; tap pieces to +5 |
| ~1400 → ~1600 | Vakron (Exploration, then Conquest) | Farm Unique pieces; use the saved pity chest for the last one |
| ~1600 → ~1900 | Uruguru | Unique accessories; tap Uniques to +10; Transcendence level 1 for grey arcana cards |
| ~1900 → 2000+ | Transcendence level 2, Shugo and Nightmare dungeons | Blue/green arcana cards, board pieces, then craft a gold arcana card |
Rule that saves the most time: never claim an exploration pity chest the moment it appears. Save it for the piece that is hardest to get.
While leveling to 45
Follow the main story to 45. Do these along the way, or come back to them later. Everything here feeds the score you need after 45.
- Sealed dungeons: Daevanion crystals for your board and skill points.
- Regional quests: more Daevanion crystals, plus gear.
- Feathers: get only enough to take your Monolith to level 30. You don't need every feather on the map; past that, extras turn into power shards, which aren't worth the time. On the Abyss Monolith, take every feather: even all of them won't reach level 30 there. Feathers give amulet scrolls, stamina and amplification stone shards.
- Strongholds: scrolls for leveling your belt.
- Rifting: the sealed dungeons and strongholds on the enemy faction's map, through the Spacetime Rift every 3 hours (PvP can be toggled). See the Rift timer at the top of the page.
Feathers are shared with your alts: sync them at the Monolith on each alt and use them to level the alt's Monolith too.
Systems to keep working on as you play
- Stigma points and skill points
- Daevanion board
- Soulbinding
- Pet Genus
- Pantheon
- Crafted weapon, guard and accessories
Level 45 ~1000
The first day at 45. Six steps put you near 1000.
- Draupnir (Expedition → Exploration), twice. Double-claim the first run for 80 energy, then single-claim the second for 40. That reaches the 3-run pity: use it on the Unique Boots. Any extra Unique drop on the way is a bonus.
- Press J → Regionals and take every quest that rewards accessory upgrades or Clash Runes.
- The second Clash Rune comes from a multi-quest chain ("Hugo…"). Tap each Clash Rune only once, to +1, and no further.
- Amulet: the upgrade materials come from feathers. Tap it to +10, take it off and upgrade it to blue with Substance Morph.
- After you collect all the Abyss feathers, spend every Daevanion point on your PvP board. It adds "fake" item level that helps you reach score breakpoints.
- Manastone every piece of gear once.
You should land around ~1000. A few item levels short? Tap a couple of pieces a little.
~1000 ~1400: the side-content grind
Here the grind starts. Go back to everything from the leveling list that you skipped.
- All remaining sealed dungeons and regional quests.
- Feathers up to Monolith 30, and every feather in the Abyss (more fake item level).
- Strongholds, then the enemy faction's sealed dungeons and strongholds through the Spacetime Rift (every 3 hours).
- Tap pieces to +5 for the last bit of item level.
All of this gets you close to ~1400.
~1400 ~1600: Vakron
The step most players get stuck on. The trick is to save the pity chest.
- Vakron Exploration, twice: double-claim the first run (80 energy), single-claim the second (40 energy). That hits the 3-run pity.
- Do not claim the Vakron exploration pity chest yet. Keep it for later, when you need the last piece.
- Spam Vakron under Conquest for Unique pieces. Once you have most of them, open the saved pity chest to fill the gap and reach ~1600.
Good moment to slow down: level an alt, or gather. Materials sell for a lot right now, so sell them or keep them to craft your own gear.
~1600 ~1900: Uruguru
- Spam Uruguru for Unique accessories.
- Tap your earlier Unique pieces to +10 along the way.
- Run Transcendence dungeons at level 1 to get one grey card in every arcana slot.
~1900 2000 and beyond
- At 1900: Transcendence level 2 for blue/green arcana cards.
- Collect as many board pieces as you can from Shugo and Nightmare dungeons. Daily attendance gives a lot of Shugo currency.
- At 2000: craft a gold arcana card.
Long-term target (Ludra preparation)
| Slot | Enchant goal |
|---|---|
| Weapon, guard, rings | +17 |
| Earring and necklace | +16 |
| Armor and bracelet | +15 |
| Class runes | around +5 |
Daily and weekly routine
The score comes from doing these every day and week. Energy caps at 840 (+120 a day), so don't let it overflow.
| Activity | How often |
|---|---|
| Duty quests | 5 a day |
| Ascension Trial | 3 a week |
| Daily dungeon | 14 a week |
| Battlefield | 3 a week |
| Main city command scrolls | 12 a week |
| Shugo Festival | 2 |
| Nightmare dungeons | 2 a day |
| Substance Morph / Odyle craft | 20 a week |
| PvE weeklies / PvP weeklies | 12 / 20 |
| Abyss corridors / Abyss command scrolls | 3 / 20 |
| World bosses (optional) | 1 |
On an alt, the short list is: Ascension Trial ×3 a week, expedition dungeons, Nightmare ×2 a day, 4 energy crafts in Substance Morph, 4 Odyle energy at the Wind Breeze shop, and Abyss corridors ×1–3.
