Adena Investment Priorities (2026)
A tiered shopping list for turning farmed Adena into permanent power: what to buy at 10B, 100B, 300B, 500B and 1T, which slots stay long-term, and where temporary talismans bridge gaps before epic jewelry and Saihi.
At a glance
6 beats
- 1First 10B: Angel jewelry +6 and 30-day talismans cover most classes
- 2100B tier locks one Cora +9 slot and three level-5 tattoos
- 3300B adds dragon necklace, enhanced agathions, and Seal Tree talismans
- 4500B frees Virtual Equipment System slots with rainbow diadem and dragon shirt
- 51T basket: Lavianrose brooch, artifact book, large gems, Saihi, epic/heavenly talismans
- 6+20 PvE weapon remains a post-trillion project, not an early trap
How to read the tiers
◆Tiers are cumulative budgets, not separate wallets. Items below repeat with updated prices. Prefer slots you will keep six months: Cora, tattoos, dragon necklace, enhanced agathions, rainbow diadem, dragon shirt, large gems, Lavianrose brooch, artifact book, Saihi.
First 10B Adena
~10B starter basket
| Item | Reference | Why first |
|---|---|---|
| Ring of Angel +6 | ~2B | Crit attack plain and skill |
| Earring of Angel +6 | ~2.5B | Vampiric Rage layer |
| Necklace of Angel +6 | ~3B | Skill Cooldown -10% for skill classes |
| Elemental Attack or Skill Power talisman | 0.5–1B | 30-day bridge |
| Skill Cooldown talisman | 0.5–1B | CDR +10% P./M. Def |
| Optional swap | Skip necklace → Bracelet of Seed +3 ~5B | If crit LS planning |
Total lands near 7.5–10B. Skill classes keep the necklace; auto attackers may delay necklace for seed bracelet crit LS fishing.
100B Adena
Add one Cora +9 ring or earring (~37B / ~27B), Bracelet of Seed +3 (~5B), and three level-5 tattoos (~10–11B each, class-specific). This closes a Cora slot for a long time and fixes core stat tattoos.
- Cora ring +9
- ~37B — power attacks, crit, element, speed
- Cora earring +9
- ~27B — Vampiric Rage, skill power, element
- Tattoos level 5
- ~30B total — pick PvE lines for your class
- Still wearing
- Angels + temporary talismans until 300B swap
300B Adena
After the 100B core: upgrade second Cora slot (earring +9 ~20B from +6), Dragon Necklace +3 (~40B), enhanced agathion pack by role, then Talisman of Seven Signs and Golden Tree (~combined mid-tier).
Enhanced agathion examples (300B phase)
| Role | Typical pack | Rough cost |
|---|---|---|
| Auto attacker | Lion + Scorpio + Taurus + Gemini | ~120B subset of 300B plan |
| Skill physical | Lion/Aries/Cancer + Scorpio + defense pair | ~100–120B |
| Mage | Aquarius + Capricorn + Libra (+ Pisces) | ~75–100B |
500B Adena
◆Spend the incremental ~200B after 300B on accessories that replace Virtual Equipment System placeholders: Rainbow Diadem Berserker or Mage +5 (~50B), Dragon Shirt thick leather +0 (~40B), Large Ruby +5 and Large Opal +5 (mages: Large Sapphire +5 instead of ruby, ~50B + ~70B).
- Rainbow Diadem +5
- Frees diadem illusion slot; crit, element, PvE LS target
- Dragon Shirt
- CDR, stats, active crit buff LS
- Large Ruby / Sapphire
- Spirit charge damage + P./M. Atk
- Large Opal
- +120 element atk/def
1T Adena basket
Post-500B ~500B add-ons
| Item | Reference | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lavianrose Brooch +0 | ~40B | Trigger atk buff; pairs with large gems |
| Enhanced Bracelet of Karla | ~5B | LS fishing |
| Exceptional Artifact Book Lv.3 + fillers | ~25B + 12–15B | +6% damage when active |
| Red or Blue Cat's Eye | 87–100B | Crit layers |
| Large Energy Gem | ~30B | +60% XP |
| Authority Search Lv.2–3 | 43–80B | Damage and mitigation |
