Chef’s checklist
0/9
Do this first
The shortest route to real PvP power
- Play every available Moxi Battleground window until War Flag score reaches 1,500.
- Level every unlocked Echo evenly; the lowest Echo gates the central Relic.
- Push the central Relic to level 30 for a second Echo-skill slot.
- Spend Arcane Scrolls only on the skills Chef will equip: Infernal 3, then Perseverance 3.
- Build permanent PvP gear around STR, STA, Resilience, and Versatility.
Chef’s progression checklist
War Flag: unlock and upgrade order
The UI calls it War Flag. The APK calls the system shengZhu/ZhanLu: eight Sentient Echoes feed one central Relic, which supplies direct PvP percentages and passive skill slots.
| Score | Echo | Base stats when unlocked | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Revitalize | 100 HP, 50 Armor, 10 STA | Defense |
| 200 | Wildfire | 200 ATK, 200 SP, 10 STA | Offense |
| 400 | Dawnstar | 100 HP, 50 Armor, 10 STA | Defense |
| 600 | Starburn | 200 ATK, 200 SP, 10 STA | Offense |
| 800 | Daybreak | 100 HP, 50 Armor, 10 STA | Defense |
| 1,000 | Annihilation | 200 ATK, 200 SP, 10 STA | Offense |
| 1,200 | Timeworn | 100 HP, 50 Armor, 10 STA | Defense |
| 1,500 | Oblivion | 200 ATK, 200 SP, 10 STA | Offense |
Chef rule: unlocking a new Echo is already a permanent stat gain. After each unlock, bring that Echo up to the current floor before advancing the center. Never max one while another stays at zero.
Echo materials
Dim Light Essence
Echo levels above 50. Craft 5 Essence + 1,000 Bound Gold into 1 Temper Crystal.
Chaotic Crystal
Echo stars. Not normally craftable; Moxi ranking is a major source.
Temper Crystal
Central Relic levels. Weekly Honor-shop stock becomes crucial.
Central Relic breakpoints
| Central level | Slots | Echo floor | Cumulative central cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | Initial | — |
| 30 | 2 | Every unlocked Echo 31+ | 300 Temper + 90,000 BG |
| 80 | 3 | Every unlocked Echo 100+ | 4,050 Temper + 1,590,000 BG |
| 100 | 3 | Every unlocked Echo 200+ | 11,050 Temper + 2,965,000 BG |
Chef’s realistic checkpoint is central 30. Central 80 is long-term. From zero, all eight Echoes to level 31 cost 4,880 Ash + 89,600 Bound Gold before the 300 Temper central bill.
From zero: exact material and crafting order
Use this as Chef’s material ledger. The first complete milestone is all eight Echoes at level 31 and 1★, central Relic 30, Infernal 3, and Perseverance 3.
Crafting rule: preserve Ash for Echo levels first. Craft no Essence during the level-31 phase. Obtain Temper directly from Honor/rank rewards whenever possible and craft only the exact Temper shortage at the central-30 wall.
Recipes and substitution cost
| Craft | Input | Bound Gold fee | Raw-Ash equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Dim Light Essence | 2 Lightbreak Ash | 100 | 2 Ash + 100 BG |
| 1 Temper Crystal | 5 Dim Light Essence | 1,000 | 10 Ash + 1,500 BG |
Step-by-step bill
- Unlock all eight EchoesReach 1,500 Moxi score. No materials are consumed.
- All Echoes to level 31610 Ash + 11,200 BG per Echo; 4,880 Ash + 89,600 BG for all eight. Level them in rounds.
- All Echoes to 1★20 Chaotic + 1,000 BG each; 160 Chaotic + 8,000 BG for all eight.
- Central Relic to 30300 Temper + 90,000 BG. This opens the second skill slot.
- Infernal to level 344 Arcane Scrolls.
- Perseverance to level 355 Arcane Scrolls after central 30.
Direct Temper route
4,880 Ash
160 Chaotic
300 Temper
99 Arcane Scrolls
187,600 Bound Gold
Use direct Temper from Honor/rank rewards.
Craft all 300 Temper
7,880 raw Ash
160 Chaotic
99 Arcane Scrolls
637,600 Bound Gold
Crafting all Temper costs an extra 3,000 Ash and 450,000 BG.
Only craft the shortage
If central 30 needs 300 Temper and Chef already has 240, craft only the missing 60:
60 Temper = 300 Essence = 600 Ash + 90,000 Bound Gold in crafting fees.
General formula: every missing Temper equals 5 Essence + 1,000 BG, or 10 Ash + 1,500 BG when starting from raw Ash.
Star order after the first milestone
| Round across all 8 | Additional Chaotic | Additional BG | Cumulative Chaotic | Cumulative BG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All to 1★ | 160 | 8,000 | 160 | 8,000 |
| All to 2★ | 240 | 16,000 | 400 | 24,000 |
| All to 3★ | 400 | 40,000 | 800 | 64,000 |
| All to 4★ | 800 | 80,000 | 1,600 | 144,000 |
| All to 5★ | 1,600 | 160,000 | 3,200 | 304,000 |
Exact order: score 1,500 → reserve 4,880 Ash → all Echoes 31 → all Echoes 1★ → collect/craft exactly 300 Temper → central 30 → Infernal 3 → Perseverance 3 → begin the 2★ round. Do not chase central 80 yet.

Arcane Scroll plan
Arcane Scroll (`I0030048`) upgrades Echo skills. It cannot be crafted, making it a harder bottleneck than Ash, Essence, or Temper.
General Diamond shop
260 Diamonds each, five per week. Full weekly buyout: 1,300 Diamonds.
Heroic Era/event shop
180 Diamonds each, maximum 20 for that shop. Buy these before the 260-Diamond stock whenever visible.
War Flag select caches: choose between 24 Ash, 12 Essence, 2 Temper, or 1 Arcane Scroll. Chef should normally choose the Arcane Scroll. Choose Temper only when two crystals immediately cross a central slot breakpoint.
| Skill tier | Cost to level 3 | Cost to level 5 |
|---|---|---|
| Initial tier | 44 Scrolls | 120 |
| Relic 30 tier | 55 Scrolls | 150 |
| Relic 80 tier | 70 Scrolls | 190 |
| Relic 100 tier | 80 Scrolls | 220 |
Level 3 is the efficiency target: level 2 adds the associated primary-stat bonus; level 3 adds +3% PvP Damage Reduction. Do not spread Scrolls across unused skills.
Chef’s Druid Echo skills
Infernal → level 3
Best general opener for Druid: STR milestone, PvP damage, and extra damage against shields. Cost: 44 Scrolls.
Perseverance → level 3
STR milestone, PvP reduction, and shorter stun/fear/root/slow duration. Cost: 55 Scrolls.

Bear: Fortitude. Feral battleground: Courage. Balance healer: Consecration. Casters/healers: Cinderlight.
Feral / Cheetah
Two slots: Infernal or Strangulate + Perseverance

Bear
Two slots: Perseverance + Revitalize
Three slots: Perseverance + Fortitude + Revitalize
Balance healer
Two slots: Perseverance + Revitalize

What stats Chef should stack
Druid uses STR, not INT. Both current Druid capstones convert STR into Spell Power, reaching 20% of STR as extra SP. This applies to Balance, Feral, Bear, and healing builds.
Universal foundation
STR > STA > Resilience > Versatility, then enough Hit/Precise for reliable connections.
Bear
STR > STA/Armor > Resilience > Dodge/Parry/Versatility. Block needs a shield, so it is mostly dead value for Druid.
Cheetah / Feral
STR > survival floor > Crit > Haste > Versatility. Crit drives the bleed/proc tree.
Balance healer
STR > STA/Resilience > Haste > Versatility/Crit.
Reforge rules
- Permanent Adventure armor: keep Resilience or Versatility; Bear may keep Dodge/Parry.
- Use weapons/jewelry/flexible slots for Hit, Precise, Crit, and Haste.
- Do not repeatedly reforge temporary gear: costs rise, materials are not refunded, and reforged gear cannot be auctioned.
