In *Avowed*, your journey across the Living Lands will lead you to a variety of resources essential for upgrading your weapons and armor. Among these, the four types of Adra stand out as the rarest and most valuable. Here's your guide on how to acquire all four types of Adra in *Avowed*.
How Adra Spawns and Scales in Avowed
In *Avowed*, you'll encounter four distinct types of Adra: Base Adra, Awakened Adra, Corrupted Adra, and Adra Bán. Each type varies in rarity and value, and the higher the Quality of the unique weapon or armor you're upgrading, the rarer the Adra you'll need. For instance, to reach Legendary Quality, you'll require Adra Bán.
The more valuable Adra types are found in the game's more challenging areas. As you delve into these tougher zones, enemy stats increase, necessitating upgrades in your gear's Quality. This means you'll need the rarer forms of Adra, which are typically exclusive to these high-level areas. While you can craft lower-tier Adra into higher-tier forms at a Party Camp, it's far less efficient than finding the higher-tier Adra directly in those zones. Here's where each type of Adra begins to spawn:
- Base Adra will spawn starting in Dawnshore.
- Awakened Adra will spawn starting in the Emerald Stair Region.
- Corrupted Adra will spawn starting in the Shatterscarp Region.
- Adra Bán can spawn 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 scales with the region you're exploring in *Avowed*. Key story sections, like defeating bosses, often reward Adra. For example, defeating Ygwulf in Dawnshore's early sections will grant you Adra, while taking down mini-bosses in the final section will yield Adra Bán.
Beyond these major story moments, there are several general methods to acquire the four types of Adra throughout the Living Lands:
- Purchasing from Merchants: Many merchants in the Living Lands who deal in weapons, armor, and magic also sell limited amounts of Adra. You'll most commonly find these merchants in major settlements like Dawnshore's Paradis or Shatterscarp's Thirdborn.
- Looting: Adra can often be found as loot, especially from named enemies like bosses or mini-bosses in both main and side quests. Additionally, look for lock boxes and hidden areas off the main path, ensuring you have plenty of Lockpicks on hand.
- Crafting: Breaking down unique weapons and armor can yield Adra, with the type scaling according to the item's Quality. As mentioned, you can also upgrade lower-quality Adra to higher tiers at a Party Camp.
- Strangled Adra: This main collectible in the Living Lands comes in the form of large Adra pillars scattered across various regions. Most require you to solve puzzles to free the Adra, making it a rewarding challenge.
And that's how you can get all four types of Adra in *Avowed*. With this knowledge, you'll be well-equipped to upgrade your gear and conquer the challenges ahead.
