Got some Emeralds to spend and not sure where and what to spend them on? Our guide below can inform you of what to spend your Emeralds on, how to get emeralds, and how to farm Emeralds easy.

What to Spend Emeralds On

There are only two shops you can spend Emeralds on, the Blacksmith who sells armor and weapons, and the Wandering Trader who sells Artifacts.

Equipment From the Blacksmith

You can buy weapons, both melee and ranged, and armor from the Blacksmith. The first time you purchase an Artifact, it is around 80 Emeralds and increases after buying a certain amount of times. Whether it is going to be a melee weapon or armor is going to be random.

The equipment itself is also going to be random, so you could get anything from a Common Sword to a Unique weapon like Fighter's Bindings. But the range of the random equipment will be based on your Power Level while the Power of the weapon will be based on your level.

The Blacksmith is the place to go to spend Emeralds if you are looking to upgrade your weapons or armor.

Artifacts From the Wandering Trader

Here you can buy random Artifacts. These Artifacts are going to be random. For the first time purchasing, you will be spending around 110 Emeralds and will increase the amount after buying a certain amount of purchases. They can range from any of the Artifacts from missions that can be unlocked based on your Power Level while the Power of the Artifact itself will be dependant on your level.

Where to get Emeralds

Dropped From Defeated Mobs

When defeating mobs there is a chance that mobs will drop Emeralds. Defeating several mobs will always gain you some Emeralds from those encounters. Having the Enchantment Prospector will also increase the chance of Emeralds dropping upon defeating a mob.

Breaking Vases

You can find vases scattered around in missions. These vases can be destroyed by interacting with them and will drop Emeralds upon breaking.

Found in Chests

When opening chests, not only will equipment or Artifacts will drop, but you will also be given Emeralds. Try to find all the chests that are available in the mission!

From Salvaging Equipment

Another way to get Emeralds is by salvaging your weapons, armor, or Artifacts. This is what you should do for anything in your inventory that is underleveled and is just gathering dust. It does not give much each salvage, but if you end up hoarding a lot of stuff, it can add up to a huge amount of Emeralds.
