Dark Rings
Dark Rings are a Solo Hunter drop feeding two sinks: Ascend II and the Solo Hunter sword. The trick is treating it like a small economy — one inflow, two competing outflows.

Solo Hunter (Jinwoo)
Sailor Island · Central courtyard temple
Expect roughly 14–15 kills per ring on average.
Ascend II
Ascension Merchant
Unlocks the 2nd ascension tier and its stat bump.
- Clear Shadow Dungeon ×10
- Find Dismantle Fangs
- Ascend I pre-cleared
Solo Hunter sword
Solo Hunter NPC · back-right Sailor Island
Unlocks a high-damage mid/late-game sword for PvE & PvP.
- Complete prior Solo Hunter quest chain
- Other boss drops from Jinwoo
Farm smarter, not longer
- 1 Stack both temple bosses
Defeat Vampire King ASAP so Solo Hunter's 6-minute timer starts immediately.
- 2 Roof skip when low HP
Jump on top of the temple to regen if you're about to die; Solo Hunter keeps his aggro.
- 3 Buff Luck before sessions
Titles + lucky Race/Clan reroll can shave hours off a full 8-ring stockpile.
FAQ
Which outflow should I prioritise?▾
Ascend II unlocks stat scaling that multiplies every future boss clear, so most players go Ascend II first. Go sword-first only if you're PvP-focused and need Solo Hunter's damage now.
How long does 8 Dark Rings take?▾
With no Luck buffs, expect ~115 kills (minutes of grinding + spawn waits). Server hopping to skip timers is the single biggest accelerator.
