Dark Crystal Best Use and Farming Guide

Dark Crystals are one of the premium currencies in Tower of Fantasy, which you can obtain by completing specific tasks and missions. Read on to learn the best ways to earn Dark Crystals and find out where you can spend them!

What to Spend Dark Crystals On

Buy Exclusive Items from the Shop

You can exchange Dark Crystals for some items in the shop. These items are Gacha Currencies, upgrade materials, Gold, part bundles, and more! Buying them will absolutely help you progress more and faster in the game. Because they're quite scarce, it's recommended that you spend Dark Crystals only on Red Nuclei if you're looking to pull from the current limited-time banner.

Shop Guide: List of Shops and What to Buy

Red Nucleus is Top Priority

There's no other way to get Red Nucleus as of the moment aside from buying it using Dark Crystals. It would also mean that it will be the only way to get limited characters and weapons on the limited-time banner.

Red Nucleus weighs higher than the Gold Nucleus since Gold Nucleus is easy to obtain through quests and exploration.

Buy Vitality Solution to Replenish Vitality

Vitality is an essential resource that is used for accessing multiplayer contents and getting items, especially when grinding for equipment like armor or matrices. You can try to replenish it at least once a day to make the most out of your daily progress in the game.

Note that the price will increase for each purchase, so you might want to stock up on Dark Crystals first if your priority is to recover Vitality.

Buy Proof of Purchase Box

If you have leftover Dark Crystals and are thinking of getting matrices, consider purchasing a Proof of Purchase, as it is a better deal than buying individual Proofs of Purchase. It contains 10x Proof of Purchase and you can buy it for 1050 Dark Crystals with a weekly limit of 3 times.

Get the Identity Update Card to Change Name

Are you getting tired of your in-game name? You can always check the shop for an Identity Update Card to change it. You can buy the Identity Update Card for 300 Dark Crystals and then use it to change your name.
