Your 2025 Blueprint for the Magic Stone

Let’s start with the big one: the Magic Stone. This isn’t just another piece of gear. Think of it as the central power core for your main hero. It doesn’t just add flat stats; it modifies and amplifies your existing skills, often adding secondary effects like defense shred, life steal, or crowd control. The difference between having a leveled Magic Stone and not having one is the difference between tickling a boss and actually taking chunks out of its health bar.

So, how do you get it? The main, most reliable method is through the Tower’s Endless Challenge mode. This is where I spent most of my time. You don’t just get it for participating, though. You need to reach specific milestone floors. For the 2025 season, the base-tier Magic Stone is typically guaranteed as a first-time clear reward for floor

Once you have the base stone, the game really begins. You’ll need to evolve and upgrade it using materials found in the same Endless Challenge, as well as from the weekly Guild Boss raids. This is where your guild becomes crucial. I made the mistake early on of hoarding my low-tier upgrade stones, thinking I’d save them for later. Don’t do that. Feed them into your main stone immediately. Even a few levels provide a noticeable power spike that will help you climb higher, faster, unlocking better farming spots. The upgrade path isn’t linear; every 10 levels, you’ll need a special “Essence of the Abyss,” which primarily drops from the monthly Abyssal Invasion event. Mark your calendar for that one—it’s non-negotiable.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the primary upgrade materials and where to farm them consistently:

The developers have been pretty clear about their design philosophy for these core items. In a 2024 developer interview, the lead systems designer mentioned they want the Magic Stone to feel like a “long-term companion” that grows with the player, not a random loot box drop. That’s why the primary sources are skill-based modes. It’s about your persistence and strategy, not just luck.

Unlocking and Maximizing the Seasonal Gift Pack

Now, let’s talk about the Gift Pack. If the Magic Stone is your enduring powerhouse, the seasonal Gift Pack is your quarterly booster shot. It’s a bundle of resources, often including limited-time cosmetics, potent consumable buffs, and—most importantly—materials that complement your Magic Stone upgrades. The contents rotate every season (roughly every 3-4 months), so the 2025 packs will have different goodies than the 2024 ones.

The primary way to get the free version of the Gift Pack is through the Seasonal Journey. This is a series of straightforward objectives like “Complete Daily Quests 10 times,” “Defeat 100 Elite Monsters,” or “Reach Floor 40 in Endless Challenge.” You just play the game normally, and you’ll tick these off. The key is to log in regularly. The free track usually gives you about 60-70% of the full pack’s value, including some of those crucial upgrade stones and hero summon scrolls. I make it a habit every new season to immediately check the Journey tab and mentally note which objectives align with what I’m already doing.

For the premium, full Gift Pack, you’re looking at the Season Pass. This is the paid track of the same Seasonal Journey. Before you dismiss it, let me share my take: I only recommend considering this once you’re consistently completing the free track. Why? Because the value is in the extra rewards on top of what you’ve already earned, not the base rewards themselves. The premium pass typically throws in things like a unique hero skin that might have a slight stat boost, a large batch of “Condensed Demon Cores” (saving you weeks of farming), and sometimes an exclusive accessory. It’s designed to accelerate your progress meaningfully.

What’s Actually Inside the 2025 Packs?

While the exact contents are secret until each season launches, based on the 2023-2024 pattern, you can expect a mix of the following categories:

Acceleration Resources: This is the bread and butter. Think stamina potions, experience tomes to quickly level a new hero you pull, and gold boosts. These items don’t directly make you stronger permanently, but they let you play more and progress faster, which indirectly fuels your strength.
Exclusive Upgrade Materials: These are often the main draw. We’re talking about items that are either time-gated or incredibly rare in normal play. For example, last season’s pack included “Primal Spirit Gems,” which were otherwise only available from the top 100 ranks in the PvP arena. For a mostly PvE player like me, that was a game-changer for finishing a gear set.

* Cosmetics & Flair: The unique hero skins, mount appearances, or special visual effects for your skills. While these are “just cosmetic,” the right skin can make your favorite hero feel new again. The developer interview I linked earlier also noted that player engagement spikes around new cosmetic releases, so they put a lot of effort into making them desirable.

Making the P

What’s the fastest way to get the Magic Stone in 2025?

The most reliable and consistent method is pushing the Endless Challenge mode. You’ll want to focus your daily attempts there, aiming for the first-time clear reward on floor

While other events might offer pieces or shards, the Endless Challenge provides a clear, skill-based path. The developers have designed it to be your long-term companion, as they mentioned in a recent interview, so the primary source is meant to be a test of persistence rather than pure luck.

Is the seasonal Gift Pack worth buying with real money?

It really depends on your playstyle and how much you engage with the Seasonal Journey. I only recommend considering the premium Season Pass if you’re consistently completing the free track objectives. The value isn’t in the base rewards but in the extra acceleration materials and exclusives on top of what you’ve already earned for free.

The premium pass usually includes rare upgrade materials that could take weeks to farm, like specific cores for your Magic Stone, and sometimes a unique hero skin. Think of it as a booster shot for your progress over the 3-4 month season, not a mandatory purchase.

What kind of stuff can I expect to find inside the 2025 Gift Packs?

Based on the patterns from the 2023-2024 seasons, the packs typically have three categories of goodies. First, you get acceleration resources like stamina potions and experience boosts that let you play and progress faster. Second, and often most valuable, are exclusive upgrade materials that are very hard to get elsewhere, like special gems for high-tier gear.

Finally, there are the cosmetics—unique skins and visual effects. Even though they don’t give huge stat boosts, they make your heroes look awesome and can really refresh your enjoyment of the game. The exact contents rotate each season, so the packs from early 2025 will be different from the ones in late 2025.

I’m stuck trying to upgrade my Magic Stone. Where do I get the specific materials?

Upgrading the Magic Stone is a grind, but it’s a focused one. Lower-tier materials like Polished Soul Shards come from the earlier floors (1-50) of the Endless Challenge and have a high drop rate. For the mid-tier stuff like Condensed Demon Cores, you need to push past floor 51.

The real bottlenecks are the special evolution materials, like the Essence of the Abyss. These are mostly locked behind time-limited events, such as the monthly Abyssal Invasion. You absolutely must participate in those when they’re active. Don’t forget your Guild Boss raids either; they’re a steady source of another key material, Ancient Rune Dust, every week.

Can I get a powerful Magic Stone without spending money?

Absolutely, yes. The core path to a powerful Magic Stone is based on your in-game effort, not your wallet. The base stone itself is a guaranteed reward from the Endless Challenge mode. All the primary upgrade materials for it—from the common shards to the rare Essence—are farmable through dedicated game modes and events.

Spending money, typically through the premium Gift Pack, might speed up the process by giving you a bundle of those upgrade materials all at once. But it doesn’t unlock a stone or a upgrade path that free-to-play players can’t access. It’s about acceleration, not exclusivity, for this key item.
