Resource Location Guide
Here's a quick guide to where you can find the most common consumable resources:
| Item | Use | Location |
 Gold | Levelling up units Upgrading and refining gears Purchasing ability pills Note: gears are very gold intensive in the late game. You can never have too much gold. | Path of Adventure (recommended, uses Cooked Rice) Daily dispatch ability Story mode battles Golden Thread Shop |
 Slimes | Levelling up units Note: Prioritize farming slimes in the early game. Once you have your main team members at max level, switch to prioritizing gold farming. | Story mode battles Path of Adventure (recommended, uses Cooked Rice) |
 Ability Pills | Used for all field abilities (e.g. Cooking, Search, etc). Alchemy and Gear Crafting cost a lot of ability pills. | Purchase from any story mode shop (Preferably after completing a daily quest for 10% discount) Sylvia's Bargain does not work on Ability Pill prices. |
 Ability Books | Levelling up field abilities Note: Prioritize levelling up Dispatch (Olstein and Diana), Alchemy (Schera) and Gear Crafting (Layla). Levelling up Search (Lathel) is convenient to have but not a must. Other than those skills, levelling up other skills are not a priority. You get some free ability books from story mode achievements. | Devil Coin Shop (recommended) Golden Thread Shop |
 Rank Up Stars | Levelling up units Note: Level 4 Rank Up Stars are rare and expensive, so consider carefully who you want to use them on. You get some free Rank Up Stars (mostly Level 2 and Level 3) from story mode achievements and events. | Mirror Wars Shop Evil Castle Shop Golden Thread Shop Powder of Hope Shop |
 3* R. Contracts | Recruiting from the pub (not the gacha banner) Note: It is recommended that you do not recruit 3* units or 4* units in the pub, as you can easily get them to max level anyway. Instead, save them up to recruit 5* units in the pub. In the main shop, 10x 3* contracts can be converted into a 4* contract, and 10x 4* contracts can be converted into a 5* contract. (i.e. 100x 3* contracts = 1x 5* contract) | Mirror Wars Shop Evil Castle Shop |
 Ancient Crystals | Necessary for UR Gear crafting | Evil Castle clear rewards Evil Castle season rewards Golden Thread Shop |
 Refining powder | Used for refining gear stats after the gear reaches +9. Lowest gear refinement is C C C, highest is S S S Note: refinements only affect main stats, not sub-stats | Daily quests Dismantling gears Note: you can dismantle in bulk from the inventory menu |
 Refining stone  Refining crystal | Used for changing gear attributes (other than fixed attributes). Refining stones are for N and R gears. Refining crystals are for SR and SSR gears. | Dismantle N and R gears for refining stones. Dismantle SR and SSR gears for refining crystals. |
| Crafting material - Gold & Copper | Copper is used for crafting many SR gears Gold is used for crafting many SSR gears | Hunting Grounds (Lizardman Altar Very Hard is best) Use Lathel's Search ability to collect finds daily on Story Chapters 3, 7, and 8. |
| Crafting material - Wood | Wood is used for crafting all level gears. It tends to run out quickly. | Hunting Grounds (Mountain Keeper's Shelter Very Hard is best) Use Lathel's Search ability to collect finds daily on Chapter 9. |
Golden Threads
| Where to find it | Earned when you pull a unit that you already have at +5 |
| Where to spend it | Points Shop (from the main menu) |
| Items available | 5* costume (monthly) UR and SR Gear exchange tickets Draw Tickets Rank Up Stars Ancient Crystals Ability Books Gold Slime |
| Recommended use | Prioritize the monthly 5* costume and the draw tickets. If you have a surplus, you can also purchase Ancient Crystals (which cannot be farmed elsewhere), but make sure you leave enough to buy the costume and draw tickets next month. Unless you are a high spender and do a lot of gacha pulls, buying other items is not recommended if you can afford to buy them from other shops. Purchasing gear exchange tickets is generally not very good value as 5* UR rates are low and the gears you get are completely random. |
Powder of Hope
| Where to find it | Earned every time you draw a costume or gear |
| Where to spend it | Points Shop (from the main menu) |
| Items available | 5* costume (monthly) Rank Up Stars |
| Recommended use | Powder of Hope is very scarce and should be used carefully. You need 200 gacha pulls to earn enough for 1 costume. Do not use Powder for Rank Up Stars, as they can be purchased elsewhere (Mirror Wars and Evil Castle). |
Medal of Honor (Mirror Wars PVP)
| Where to find it | Earned when using Blood Cocktails to play Mirror Wars PVP +15 for successful attack +8 for unsuccessful attack |
| Where to spend it | Mirror Wars Shop (in the Mirror Wars pack) |
| Items available | 5* costume (monthly) Rank Up Stars 3* R Contracts Slime |
| Recommended use | Your priority should be the free 5* costume. If you play Mirror Wars daily and complete all quests, you should be able to earn comfortably earn the 18,000 medals per month to afford the 5* star costume. Once you have purchased the 5* costume, you can purchase Rank Up Stars and Contracts as required with your surplus medals. Purchasing slimes is not recommended (Farming with Cooked Rice is more efficient). |
Devil Coins (Evil Castle)
| Where to find it | Rewards for completing Evil Castle |
| Where to spend it | Evil Castle Shop (in the Evil Castle pack) |
| Items available | Ability Books Rank Up Stars 3* R Contracts Slime |
| Recommended use | It is recommended that you use Devil Coins to buy Ability Books when needed. Once you have enough Ability Books, you can use the rest of your coins to buy Rank Up Stars (as needed) and 3* R Contracts. Purchasing slime is generally not recommended. |
Blood Cocktails

| Where to spend it | Used to play Mirror Wars PVP |
| Items available | N/A (see Medal of Honor above) |
| Recommended use | You generally do not need to buy cocktails unless you are aiming to rank on the ladder in Mirror Wars PVP. If you are aiming for a high rank, the best time to use blood cocktails is in the last hour or so before the end of season. |
Cooked Rice
| Where to find it | Automatically recharges daily. Some login events also give Cooked Rice. Additional Cooked Rice can be purchased with Dia from the Dia shop. |
| Where to spend it | Path of Adventure Pack |
| Items available | Crafting Materials Slimes Gold |
| Recommended use | Depending on the day of the week, Gold and/or Slime rates are boosted. It is recommended that you spend Cooked Rice mainly on farming Gold or Slime, depending on which one currently has the boosted rates. Only farm for Crafting Materials when you need them. Gold, Copper and Wood are usually the materials you run out of most easily. Complete "Very Hard" on each level as soon as you are able, so that you can auto-farm with cooked rice from the in-game menu. |
