Bind Your Account

This can be done in Settings → Other → Account Binding. After you bind your account, you will receive 500k Bound Gold as a gift, but what’s more important – your account will be protected and will not disappear when you switch devices.

Focus on Adventure Progression

The storyline of Crystal of Atlan is built around completing Adventure Chapters (Tab → Adventure). They consist of cinematic scenes, difficult bosses, and tricky levels where you have to solve riddles. Completion of any chapter rewards you with a certain amount of Gold and EXP, in addition to various materials and pieces of equipment that might be obtained randomly.

Adventure

Adventure Chapters are the easiest way to level up in Crystal of Atlan, so you should focus on the story quest and strive to advance as far as possible.

Spend All Your Daily Energy

Challenging story chapters require Energy. Energy is displayed right next to your character level in the top left corner of the interface. The capacity of Energy is 120 units, and it recovers every day at 6:00 AM (UTC +2).

Daily Energy

This means that when you don’t spend all your available energy daily, you literally waste it, slowing down your progress. For this reason, you should strive to spend all your available energy every day. The best way to do this is to complete story quests, but you can also spend your energy on the highest Adventure Chapter available to get some nice rewards.

Complete All the Daily Missions

There is an Adventure Manual in the game that provides various rewards. It’s something like a classic “battle pass,” only called differently. There you have Daily, Weekly, and Seasonal missions, each of which brings you Adventure Points.

Daily Missions

You should strive to complete all the daily missions every day, because if you skip them, you literally lose Adventure Points, and they cannot be recovered. As a result, you will get fewer rewards from the Adventure Manual.

Participate in Daily Events

It’s also important to participate in available Events. Some of them have daily limits. For example, the Wonder Challenge event has a daily limit of 450 Wondrous Vouchers that can be earned, so you should strive to reach this limit. After all, using this currency, you can buy Gold, Epic Circuit Boxes, Hunter’s Licenses, Arcanite of Adore, and other valuable items.

Daily Events

Play Ranked Matches Every Day

When participating in Ranking PVP Matches, you earn Battle Points with a daily limit of 100. These points can be spent on various valuable items in the Redeem shop. I recommend that you play Ranking Matches every day until you earn 100 Battle Points. This way, you can speed up your progress by purchasing extra items.

Join a Fleet

A Fleet is an analogue of Guilds in Crystal of Atlan. Joining a Fleet unlocks new game modes for you, such as Mine Wars and Spirit Frenzy. These modes are active during the day, and you can earn extra rewards by participating in them.

Use Sets Instead of Random Equipment

The more pieces of a specific set you equip, the more bonuses you receive. Having a 4-piece set, your character becomes significantly stronger.

equipment sets

You can obtain the required equipment pieces by completing Adventure Chapters or crafting them in Rhine City. Open the “Gear” section, go to the “Craft” menu, select an item, and press “Go to Craft”.

Enhance Equipment

You shouldn’t forget to enhance your equipment either. Select an item in the inventory and press “Enhancement” in its menu. Make sure each of your equipped items is enhanced to at least level +8, and your character will become much stronger.

Equipment Enhancement

Note that you can transfer enhancement levels between items, but the resulting item usually loses 1 level (for example, +8 will become +7). This means you won’t have to enhance new items from scratch every 5-10 levels.
