How to Use and Spend Essence Stones

Essence Stone is one of the premium currencies in Solo Leveling Arise. Learn the best ways to spend Essence Stones and how to get them in the game!

Best Ways to Spend Essence Stone

Draw on Banners

The best way to use Essence Stone is to use it on Draw Banners. The reason is that it will allow you to cover the scarce number of Draw Tickets to get your desired character or weapon for Sung Jinwoo.

Replenish Keys

Replenishing Keys will allow you to take on content that will give you Artifacts, Gold, and upgrade materials.

For F2P players, consider doing this only when you get your desired character or weapon on the banner and when you get to the endgame, as you will earn fewer Essence Stones once you reach that point.

Do Daily and Weekly Missions

Daily and Weekly Missions are reliable sources you can count on to get Essence Stones. Those missions will always be there, giving out a consistent number of Essence Stones for you to use.

You can get 100 Essence Stones for each level on your Reputation. You can also get one Rate Up Draw Ticket every time you level up.
