How to Get Lanterns
Lanterns are one of the most important resources in Cursed Blade. You need them to reroll your race at the Race Menu and to refine your current race's passives. Without a steady supply, you are stuck with whatever variant you first rolled — and with rare S-tier variants having only a 2% drop chance, you will be using a lot of them.
Lanterns are the currency for Cursed Blade's race system. Every race has three variants with different drop rates — the strongest ones like Seraphim (Angel), Abyssal Lord (Demon), and Sky Wyrm (Dragonkin) only appear 2% of the time. To get them, you spend Lanterns at the Race Menu to reroll. You can also use Lanterns to refine your current race, leveling up its passive abilities without changing the race itself. This guide covers every way to get Lanterns, which types exist, and the most efficient farming strategies.
Lanterns are consumable items used exclusively in the Race Menu. You can spend them to reroll your current race into a random new one, or refine your existing race to level up its passive abilities. Refining improves the stat bonuses and passive effects of your current race variant without changing what race you are.
Your race choice has a massive impact on your build's performance. The gap between a common variant (80% drop chance) and a rare variant (2% drop chance) can be the difference between plateauing at mid-game and crushing endgame content. For example, a Crawler Dragonkin (80%) gives +3.5% Armor with a slow effect, while a Sky Wyrm Dragonkin (2%) gives +11% Armor, increased Attack Range, and a Burn-inflicting Dragon God Form every 30 seconds. The stat difference is enormous.
Do not rush Lantern farming in your first few hours. Focus on leveling up, finding a decent weapon, and learning the curse meter. Once you have comfortable gear and can clear at least Adventure zones without dying, start stockpiling Lanterns. The beginner guide covers the early progression path before you dive into Lantern farming.
Adventure Mode is where you will get your first Lanterns. They drop from elite enemies and zone bosses. The drop rate is modest — expect 1-3 Lanterns per full zone clear. Focus on zones you can clear quickly and safely. Silver Village, Bone Necropolis, and Desolate Wheat are good early zones. Boss kills have the best Lantern drop chance, so always make sure to clear the zone boss.
Abyss [Hard] offers significantly higher Lantern drop rates than Adventure Mode. You also have a chance at Orange/Red Lanterns here, which improve your odds of rolling rarer race variants. Abyss [Hard] requires decent gear and curse meter management — check the curse meter guide before attempting. Clear speed matters more than survival here; the faster you clear, the more Lanterns per hour you earn.
Hell is the best source of Lanterns in the game. Drop rates are at their highest, and Orange/Red Lanterns drop more frequently. Hell requires near-perfect gear and deep knowledge of enemy patterns. Only farm Hell for Lanterns once you have an optimized build. If you are looking for the best build to farm with, check the best builds guide.

Purple Lanterns are the basic type. They drop from all sources but are most common in Adventure Mode. Use them for standard rerolls when you are trying to land any rare variant. The majority of your Lantern stockpile will be purple.
Orange/Red Lanterns are rarer and offer improved luck when rolling for race variants. They drop primarily from Abyss [Hard] and Hell. Save these for when you are specifically chasing an S-tier variant like Sky Wyrm Dragonkin, Seraphim Angel, or Abyssal Lord Demon. Do not waste them on random rerolls.
With S-tier variants having only a 2% drop chance, you can expect to spend 50+ Lanterns on average to land one specific rare variant. If you are using Orange/Red Lanterns, the odds improve but there is no guaranteed pity system. Stockpile at least 30-40 Lanterns before starting a dedicated reroll session.
Clear the fastest Adventure zone you can handle, kill the boss, collect Lanterns, reset. Repeat. Silver Village is the fastest clear. Desolate Wheat gives better Lantern rates per boss but takes longer. Time your runs — if a zone takes more than 10 minutes per clear, move down to an easier one.
Once you can survive Abyss [Hard], focus on speed over safety. The faster you clear, the more Lanterns per hour. Use a melee burst build with DrgWing or SunBlade for the fastest clear times. Orange/Red Lanterns from Abyss make the difficulty increase worth it.
Hell runs are for optimized builds only. The Lantern yield per hour is the highest, but the gear requirement is steep. Check the tier list for the best build recommendations before attempting Hell Lantern farming.
Always run with a curse meter strategy — push it for bonus loot in familiar zones but reset before bosses. Use accessories like Eagle Eye or Callus to improve farming efficiency. Group play can speed up clears significantly, especially in Abyss [Hard] and Hell.
Lanterns are used at the Race Menu to reroll your race (get a random new race) or refine your current race (level up its passive abilities without changing the race).
Lanterns drop from Adventure Mode, Abyss [Hard], and Hell. Kill elite enemies and zone bosses for the best drop rates. Higher difficulty modes give better Lantern drops including rare Orange/Red Lanterns.
Purple Lanterns are standard and used for basic rerolls. Orange/Red Lanterns are rare and give better luck for rolling rarer race variants. Save Orange/Red Lanterns for chasing S-tier variants.
Speed clear Adventure Mode bosses early game, switch to Abyss [Hard] speed runs mid game, and farm Hell endgame. The faster you clear, the more Lanterns per hour.
Each reroll at the Race Menu costs one Lantern. With S-tier variants having a 2% drop chance, stockpile 30-50 Lanterns before starting a serious reroll session.
Yes. Use the Refine Race button in the Race Menu to spend Lanterns leveling up your current race's passive abilities. This improves stats without changing your race variant.
Lanterns can drop from both elite enemies and zone bosses, but boss kills have significantly higher drop rates. Focus on clearing zone bosses for efficient farming.
Save your Lanterns until you understand your preferred playstyle. Once you know what race and build you want, then spend them. Stockpiling before committing to expensive reroll sessions will save you time.
Dragonkin (especially Sky Wyrm variant) is considered S-tier for most builds. Angels and Demons are strong A-tier alternatives. Check the races guide for a full breakdown.
