Eternal Legend is a very interesting dark-themed idle game where players, as adventurers, explore ruins, collect various equipment, pets, and souls to strengthen themselves. If you follow specific steps during the initial stages of the game, it can be much easier. Therefore, this guide for Eternal Legend will focus on what new players need to pay attention to when starting out, providing a general step-by-step flow for reference.
When you first enter the game, follow the guidance and complete all tasks with exclamation marks, and it's recommended to choose the "Robot" class. After completing the novice guide, prioritize opening the offline idling task in Map 1, but note that you should not claim the offline rewards yet. Next, claim the server launch and version update rewards. The magic crystals obtained can be used to draw soul cards from the "Dawn Mechanism" soul card collection system, prioritizing defensive soul cards and equipping them. Then, buy a full set of level 1 defensive gear, directly challenge the Boss in Map 1, and set the difficulty to "Inferno". Even as a beginner, you can reach level 8 without taking any damage.
After reaching level 8, buy a set of level 5 defensive gear and head to Map 2 to challenge the second small monster, aiming to get an "Antique Pistol". Once acquired, equip it and continue challenging the Boss in Map 2. If your defense is below 35, remember to bring health potions and manually operate to pass once. Then, proceed to Map 3 to farm small monsters. At this point, your defense is around 30; if it's not enough, adjust your soul cards to stack up to over 30 points of defense. Start farming the "Royal Set" from the first small monster in Map 3, prioritizing equipment with "Vampirism" and "Void" (Void probability suggested above 4%) attributes. Blue quality items are sufficient, and unsuitable attributes can be replaced using the refinement function, aiming for as high vampirism as possible. Once your character reaches level 12 and has a qualified Royal Set, you can challenge the Boss in Map 3. During this stage, you can level up to 15 through idling. If you have stacked enough vampirism, you can fully automate the idling; if the Void probability is high, the leveling speed will also increase, although overall it still requires several hours of idling time.
After level 15, equip the "Ancient Wooden Prayer Beads" dropped by the Boss in Map 3, prioritizing the vampirism attribute, with epic quality being sufficient. If the total vampirism is around 20 points and the Void probability is around 5%, you can stably challenge the Boss in Map 4. Then start idling the "Vampire Boss", aiming to challenge it 144 times to activate its offline idling task. At this point, you can choose to claim the Boss's offline rewards or wait to claim them later. As long as you claim within 24 hours, the rewards won't decrease. If you encounter a situation where the Vampire Boss deals 0 damage, preventing vampirism, slightly adjust your soul card configuration by adding 1-2 points of attack to stabilize vampirism.
For high-intensity players, at around level 18, you can try challenging the Boss in Map 5. It's recommended to still idle and challenge 144 times to activate the offline task, while claiming the corresponding Boss's offline rewards. You can also skip this stage and go straight to Map 7, but it's advised to at least farm a level 30 epic healing necklace and a whiteboard accessory dropped by the Boss as a safety net.
Continue idling the Vampire Boss. Around level 22, you should have a complete set of vampirism gear. For attributes, it's suggested to have 30+ vampirism, 8% Void, and 8% Chaos/Frost, prioritizing stacking control effects as high as possible. With these attributes, you can basically push through to the Boss in Map 7. Idle the Boss in Map 7 for 144 times to ensure your equipment is well-formed. If vampirism exceeds 30 and Void exceeds 8%, you're unlikely to die; if not, you'll need to manually watch and farm.
Activate the offline idling task for the Boss in Map 7 and claim the Boss rewards once, which can level you up several levels. It's not recommended to continue idling the Boss; instead, switch to the first two small monster maps in Map 8 and start idling to level up. Idle until level 30, switching back to the full set of gear from Map 5 as a transition. By this point, the first day's exploration is basically complete. It's suggested to idle the small monsters in Map 8 for a full day, then complete the "Ruins Coin" task. Save up 998 coins to exchange for the "Succubus Outfit". If you spend money, you can get a healing outfit, so you don't need to exchange, and the Ruins Coins can be saved for later use in the Abyss. The goal of idling is to farm the epic "Golden Set", with legendary quality sets to be farmed after reaching the third layer of the Abyss. Equip the Succubus Outfit and challenge the Boss in Map 8; under normal difficulty, you may pass with luck and control status, but it's recommended to manually operate.
Continue idling the small monsters in Map 8 to farm a complete Golden Set. During this phase, only claim the Boss-related rewards from the offline tasks. Generally, you can directly claim those from Map 7. High-intensity players can also manually challenge Map 8, completing 144 challenges to activate the offline task. Try to challenge the Boss in Map 8, as it drops a top-tier title that provides +90 max HP. The suggested configuration for idling the Boss in Map 8 (Inferno difficulty) is: 450+ HP, attack with armor penetration, 90+ dual defense, 35-40 vampirism, 20%+ Chaos/Frost control attributes, and 5% Void. Besides attack and dual defense, the higher the other attributes, the better. Normal difficulty relies more on the first round of control triggers, while Inferno is more stable. Use the prayer beads for vampirism when farming small monsters.
The above content covers the relevant strategies for Eternal Legend. After completing the above, the remaining tasks are to claim offline rewards and idle in Map 8 until you reach level 45, which marks the end of the novice period. Most of the time, just click and idle, making the right choices, and following the steps above will give you a general understanding of the game.
