‘Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions’ (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles) introduced a new ‘Midwinter Gear Growth Chest’ in its update on the 10th. The contents are quite valuable, making it a worthwhile purchase. Why is that? KookminTree has investigated the details.

Q. What can I get from the Midwinter Gear Growth Chest?
A. You can obtain Scribe's Seals and Midwinter Gear Growth Coins.

The Midwinter Gear Growth Chest can be purchased in the [Shop]-[Special] tab for 100 Gems each, with a limit of 20 per account weekly. Additionally, you can obtain them through the 'Midwinter Gear Growth Chest Special' package three times (20 chests each). There is also a 'Midwinter Gear Growth Chest Event' that provides bonus chests based on the number of chests opened.

Opening the chest grants Normal, Advanced, or Rare Scribe's Seals based on set probabilities, with a 5% chance to obtain a Midwinter Gear Growth Coin. These coins are used to craft the 'Shining Resplendent Divine Tree Essence (+8),' which is required for engraving Ancient accessories and Creation armor for top-tier players. Since they are tradable, they are currently selling for over 1,300 Gems on the Exchange. In short, if you spend 2,000 Gems to buy and open 20 chests, you effectively make a profit if you obtain two or more coins.

Of course, you might not get the coins depending on your luck. However, you still receive a large amount of Scribe's Seals and can open additional chests through the event, so it is highly recommended to purchase 20 chests every week. You can also earn mileage through Gem consumption in the shop, and if you are lucky enough to get many coins, you can even recoup your Gems, making it a very efficient investment.

Q. Where should I use the Scribe's Seals I obtained?
A. Prioritize filling the Faction Gear Engraving slots.

So, where is the best place to use the Scribe's Seals? The top recommendation is the Faction Gear Engraving slots. Focus on completing sets that only require 1-2 items to finish, such as Grace for Normal, Blessing for Advanced, and Heavenly Pond for Rare gear. Note that these can be used on weapons and armor up to +8 and accessories up to +5, so it is recommended to prioritize replacing higher-level gear.

Next, I recommend using them on Rare grade armor (+8 or higher) and Rare grade accessories (+5 or higher) from the Fox Flower Snowy Field. Since this region was recently released and the number of players hunting there is low, the market price for this gear is high. Therefore, using Scribe's Seals on this gear is a good way to reduce the Gems spent on completing the engraving collection.
