Sword x Staff Events and Dungeons Guide

Daily dungeons and Material Realms

  • Two free runs a day, plus two paid refreshes at 100 and 150 Dawnium. Runs bank up to six; skip slow days and burst the moment a new dungeon unlocks.
  • Ranking is based on how far you reach, not which nodes you pick — route to the boss.
  • Dismantle old-dungeon shards as soon as the next dungeon opens; they lose sell value.
  • Material Realm refresh ladders scale with spending (F2P 2/2/2/2 daily); Boltray’s handbook says Material Realm rewards scale with Rank, so save attempts for higher Ranks.
  • Boltray’s Adventurer Tips: the Grand Arena opens at Lv. 40 after Rank Advancement in Cinder Ridge; save Arena Tickets before the weekly reset and spend early in the new week.

Void Rifts (biweekly Sunday)

Void Rifts spawn every other Sunday and rotate with Chaos Invasion. You get 10 attempts within 24 hours of spawn; attempts do not bank. Each run has 1–5 chance-progression floors (advancement is a roll), with relic pulls up to Mythic at higher floors. Group shape: 1 healer + 1 durable frontliner + 2 DPS; heal between floors; skip contested rifts. Group play scales rewards for everyone outside the whale bracket.

Chaos Invasion and the Mysterious NPC

The day after Chaos Invasion ends, a Mysterious NPC appears at Home selling for Chaos Crystals — community rule: buy only the Primal Forge and upgrade it to Immortal; everything else is replaced by Cinder Ridge rewards. See Mysterious Merchant.

Grand Treasure Hunt

Spend Aurodrasil Energy across five reward tiers. The trap is spending weekly: the Level 5 prize costs roughly 3,240 Energy through stages 1–5, so F2P saves one week and spends the next (every 2 weeks ≈ 4,440 for two L5 items; every 3 weeks ≈ 5,640 for all). On Level 5: Left (unique relic) > Far right > Middle. L1–L4 picks follow your need — Bond Trinkets for a first Mythic Fantomon, Legendary Auroral Badges for missing relics, or Skills if you hate RNG. Phases rotate across kingdoms (Lucky Statue in phases 2 and 6, Primal Gem in phase 4 of the cycle covered in July).

Guild bosses and weekly boss

Guild boss damage scaling depends on the whales in your guild; Skill Shard Vouchers drop — run it every cycle. The home-screen weekly boss (Golem in the store screenshots) offers support selection from your Companions.
