Collecting Fairy Embers is essential for accessing new gear, abilities, and characters, with costs varying significantly. Below, explore optimized methods to gather these resources efficiently in SWORN, maximizing time spent refining your playstyle.
Acquiring Fairy Embers – SWORN Strategies
Five primary approaches exist for obtaining Fairy Embers. Details on activation and potential yields are outlined below:
| Method | Unlock by | Fairy Ember Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Treasure Tree | Defeat 3rd Area Mini-boss | Up to 15% chance enemies drop 1 Fairy Ember on death |
| Currency Exchange | Guinevere | Trade 10 Moonstones for 10 Fairy Embers |
| Bounty Board | Guinevere | 20 – 60 per Bounty (one-time claim) |
| Challenging Trials of Combat during your run | Guinevere | Up to 20 (Faster clear time = higher reward)
Note: The spawn rate is pretty low because you can also earn Health, Gold, and Moonstones this way. |
| Buy Fairy Embers in the Shop during your run | n/a | 20 (Cost: 50 Gold)
Note: This is the least efficient method to farm since it’s not a common spawn in Shops. |
| Complete Event Rooms during your run | n/a | 1 Fairy Ember per enemy defeated in 45 seconds
Note: Events may also be a Grail Water challenge instead. |
| Complete Fairy Ember Rooms during your run | n/a | 10 in normal rooms 20 in rooms with Major Foes |
Optimal strategies involve targeting reward-rich rooms or completing Bounty Board tasks. While stores occasionally carry Fairy Embers, their scarcity makes them inconsistent. If progressing rapidly is your goal, consider trading Moonstones via the Currency Exchange, though this may impact other progression paths.
