Guaranteed daily income
Close the scale of daily tasks to 60 points - this gives 6 units of Raven Essence every day no purchases or random rewards.
Permanent sources
The most reliable free source. A full activity bar brings 6 essences daily.
Essence may appear among caravan rewards. Check the composition and update unprofitable options.
Essence is found in rewards associated with alliance excavations. Complete tasks and participate in general excavations.
Events with Raven Essence
- Hunting for thieves. Collect lion coins for the Golden Thief and the Chief of Thieves. In the event store, 1 essence costs 200 coins.
- Pandemic experience. Essence appears among the rewards on difficulties 8 and 9. The higher the available difficulty, the more important the participation of the entire alliance.
- Siege of the undead. Raven Essence is included in the personal reward scale along with boosts and alliance coins.
- Shadow corruption. Essence is given for a personal rating in an event that usually takes place every two weeks.
- Valley of Crystal Clusters. One of the additional event sources - do not miss the available participation windows.
- An unexpected meeting. Event boxes can give especially large packs of essence - from several tens to hundreds of units.
- Limited events. Check seven-day lines and temporary rewards after server updates.
An unexpected encounter: essence in boxes
The quantity depends on the quality of the box and the number of emblems spent.
| Emblems | Box I quality | Box II quality |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | 16 | 20 |
| 40 | 32 | 40 |
| 100 | 80 | 100 |
| 200 | 160 | 200 |
| 500 | 400 | 500 |
Where to buy
Check the assortment after the update and compare the price with the supply of coins for shields and teleports.
The essence competes with rare drawings, fragments and epigraphs. Buy it if the next Raven breakthrough gives a noticeable gain.
Unlocks with VIP 3 and sells essence for diamonds. For F2P, this is a fallback option, not a first-time waste.
Priority for F2P
- Every day: complete daily quests and check the Alliance Caravan.
- According to the schedule: Don't miss the Undead Siege, Pandemic Experience, Thief Hunt, and Shadow Blight.
- In An Unexpected Meeting: spend emblems wisely - boxes are one of the largest free sources.
- In stores: Use event and alliance currency first if the purchase does not interfere with a rarer goal.
- Diamonds: save for shields and important tasks; Use the VIP store in case of shortage until the next breakthrough.
When to spend
Double points for one action
Wait until Monday for the Raven Boost activity in Battle of Survival. Consumption of Raven Essence during this window simultaneously counts towards the “Battle of Survival” and the first day of the “Duel of Alliances”.
Common mistakes
- Skip daily missions, losing the guaranteed 6 units.
- Use essence on the Monday before the start of Raven's Empowerment and receive points in only one activity.
- Spend diamonds in the VIP store, leaving your account without a reserve for shields.
- Ignore personal Undead Siege gauge and Shadow Corruption rating.
- Do not check the assortment of the Alliance Caravan and event stores.
- Buy essence at any cost when the next breakthrough is still far away.
Daily tasks → Alliance caravan → events → event shops → regular shops → VIP for diamonds only if necessary. Save until Monday and spend during the Raven Strengthening phase.
