Judgment Day farming#

Everything is farmed at Judgment Day: the recipes drop from the final chest, and the Ancestors' Souls from The End of Dragan.

  1. Beat Dragan at Dragan's Refuge: a portal to Judgment Day opens.
  2. Take it with 1 Empowered Cursed Pearl per player, up to five (plus 10 Fragment of Infernal Passage on Bloodshed).
  3. Beat the four Swords of the Legion, touch the Staff of the Resurrection: The End of Dragan rises.
  4. Beat it, then open the Hero Treasure Chest.

💡 Remember. With the Dragan Event Attire equipped, The End of Dragan gives the three ingredients (helmet, shoulders, cloak) on each victory: the 200 ingredients for V2 come in at the same time.

Grima also sells Arcane Dragon Essence, and each Battleground statue gives one.
