Raid: How to Earn Path of Spring Fragments Efficiently

TL;DR: Farm Ice Golem 20 for gear, aim for 2,250 points, then follow a 40,250‑coin route in Path of Spring. Mix shards wisely—about 90 Ancients or an equivalent blend—to unlock the three key‑gated fragments without overspending gems.

What Went Wrong & Why It Matters

You missed Dungeon Divers II, leaving a fragment gap. Path of Spring is the bailout, but its branching grid hides pricey dead ends. We’re fixing that by squeezing every Hero Coin out of dungeon drops and a lean shard plan.

Step 1 – Crush the Ice Golem 20 Tournament

Target: 2,250 points by Sunday.
Why Stage 20? Best coin‑to‑energy ratio, especially during Super Raids.
Energy Cost: ~2,240 for 140 runs.
Set‑and‑Forget Team: HP burn nuker + revive tank. Start 50 Super Raids with auto‑refill and let it roll while you stream or grind arena.

Step 2 – Count Your Shards Before You Pull

  • Ancient Shard: 450 coins
  • Void Shard: 750 coins
  • Primal Shard: 1,800 coins
  • Sacred Shard: 4,500 coins

With 43 Ancients, 10 Voids, 4 Primals, and 2 Sacreds, you’re sitting on ~40,350 coins—enough when paired with gear drops. Pull only what closes the gap after the tournament loot.

Step 3 – Follow the 40,250‑Coin Route

  1. Start east for the 300‑gem node.
  2. Pivot south‑west, snag the first Event Key.
  3. Unlock the central lock, grab Fragment #1.
  4. Dip south to the second key, cross east for Fragment #2.
  5. Swing north‑east past the energy bundle, open the final gate, and claim Fragment #3.

Ignore shiny but costly side rooms unless you’re flush with coins.

Extra Coin Tricks

  • Clan Boss: Brutal and Nightmare chests can spit out extra Ancients and Voids—open them before you summon.
  • Gem Shop: If you’re short, 900 gems for 11 Ancients is cheaper than buying Fragments outright.
  • Campaign Leveling: Power‑level the four fusion rares while farming food to double‑dip Dungeon Divers points.

Should You Whale?

If you already spent on early fusion events, resist the urge. Path of Spring’s coin‑per‑dollar rate is worse than standard shard packs, and Lysanthir isn’t account‑changing unless you finish the whole fusion.

Bottom Line

Finish the Ice Golem tourney, follow the coin‑lean route, and pull shards only after counting tournament loot. Do that, and you’ll patch the fusion misstep without torching your gem stash—or your sanity.
