In *Avowed*, navigating the expansive Living Lands to gather resources for weapon and armor upgrades is a thrilling part of the adventure. Among these resources, the four types of Adra stand out for their rarity and value. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain all four types of Adra in *Avowed*.
How Adra Spawns and Scales in Avowed
*Avowed* features four distinct types of Adra: Base Adra, Awakened Adra, Corrupted Adra, and the highly coveted Adra Bán. Each type has its own rarity and value, crucial for upgrading your gear to higher tiers. For instance, achieving Legendary Quality for your weapons requires the rarest Adra, Adra Bán.
As you delve deeper into more challenging regions, you'll encounter tougher enemies and the need for higher-quality gear, which in turn demands rarer forms of Adra. These precious resources are primarily found in the later, more difficult zones of the game. While it's possible to craft lower-tier Adra into higher forms at a Party Camp, this method is less efficient than directly harvesting the higher-tier Adra from those challenging areas. Here’s where each type of Adra begins to appear in the Living Lands:
- Base Adra starts spawning in Dawnshore.
- Awakened Adra is found from the Emerald Stair Region.
- Corrupted Adra appears in the Shatterscarp Region.
- Adra Bán can be encountered in Galawain’s Tusks and the final unnamed section of the game.
Every Way to Get Adra in Avowed
The type of Adra you encounter is closely tied to the region you're exploring. Significant story milestones, like defeating bosses, often reward you with Adra. For example, vanquishing Ygwulf in Dawnshore's early sections will grant you Base Adra, while taking down mini-bosses in the game's final areas can yield Adra Bán.
Beyond these major encounters, there are several other methods to acquire the four types of Adra:
- Purchasing from Merchants: Many merchants across the Living Lands, particularly those in major settlements like Paradis in Dawnshore or Thirdborn in Shatterscarp, offer Adra for sale. These merchants specialize in weapons, armor, and magic, and often have limited stocks of Adra.
- Looting: Adra can be found as loot, especially from named enemies such as bosses or mini-bosses encountered in both main and side quests. Don't overlook lock boxes, which may contain Adra; always carry enough Lockpicks and explore off the beaten path.
- Crafting: Breaking down Unique weapons and armor can yield Adra, with the type and amount scaling with the item's Quality. Additionally, lower-quality Adra can be upgraded to higher forms at a Party Camp, though this is less efficient than finding the higher-tier Adra directly.
- Strangled Adra: These are large, collectible pillars of Adra scattered throughout the Living Lands. They often require solving puzzles to release the Adra, making them a challenging but rewarding source.
With these strategies, you'll be well-equipped to gather all four types of Adra in *Avowed*, enhancing your gear and conquering the toughest challenges the game has to offer.
