Dark awakening costs
| Step | Book level | Total Book XP | Yul | Spell Pages | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Awaken I | 10 | 324 | 1,155 | 1 | Boar Meat 6 · Honey 6 |
| Awaken II | 20 | 2,649 | 15,400 | 5 | Boar Meat 131 · Honey 62 · Stone Crust 162 |
| Awaken III | 30 | 6,474 | 103,950 | None | Earth Root 270 · Spirit Moss 477 · Stone Crust 346 |
| Awaken IV | 40 | 11,799 | 443,520 | None | Mana Crystal 678 · Spirit Moss 878 · Stone Crust 539 |
| Awaken V | 50 | 18,624 | 1,906,520 | None | Earth Root 570 · Mana Crystal 1,263 · Spirit Moss 1,432 |
Dark shares this 2,470,545 Yul total with World Tree; only the materials differ. Each awakening multiplies damage (1.13× at I up to 1.84× at V) and raises crit chance to 20% and crit damage to 60%.
Where to farm Dark materials
Materials drop from chests on their home island and can also be bought one at a time in the material shop. Totals below cover Awaken I to V.
| Material | Total needed | Home island | Shop price (Yul each) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boar Meat | 137 | Starter | 600 |
| Honey | 68 | Starter | 700 |
| Stone Crust | 1,047 | Skull | 2,250 |
| Earth Root | 840 | Skull | 2,450 |
| Spirit Moss | 2,787 | Poison | 6,000 |
| Mana Crystal | 1,941 | Castle | 13,900 |
Buying every material in the shop would cost 48,245,450 Yul on top of the awakening fees, so farming the island chests saves the most. See the Clover Legends islands guide for level ranges and chest odds.
Best Dark build and tips
- Cast Black Hole first, then Gravity Zone on the same spot
- Save Dimension Slash for bosses or fleeing PvP opponents
- True Devil or Half-Devil multiplies its sustained damage
- Stats: 24 points of Mana capacity cover the full 170-mana rotation from a full bar; put the rest into Melee or Magic, which add the same damage. Stats guide
- Race: Devil-family races add the most damage; High Elf (−25% cooldown) helps books with long cooldowns. Race tier list
Dark vs World Tree
Both are A-tier Legendary books. Dark is stronger solo and in mob farming; World Tree is stronger in a squad because it heals allies.
