I’ve looked at the Traitstone guide (Guide to Traits - 1.0.8), but the Arcane Dark seems to be missing.
Thanks in advance

Thanks! Do you think farming there is going to yield efficient results, or is just playing and letting them drop when they drop the better approach? I need 8 of those suckers…
8 is an awful lot but if you spent a few hours, you might get them. It’s probably best to farm a few, do something else for a while, and then come back to it.
Alright that’s what I’ll do. I don’t think I have the attention span for hours of straight farming lol
The good news is that if you do 20-25 explore matches a day, you’ll probably get them in a week or so. Take that into account. It won’t take FOREVER like before.
For future traitstone farming needs:

Side note, @Lyya: Drilling down via the “Troops” link by each arcane stone on the kingdom table provides a list of troops of that stone’s color, not a list of troops that use that stone. Mythics are excluded (as are hero classes, which arguably aren’t troops).
It makes sense since for example Death is not a blue/purple troops, but it does mean that to see what uses a given stone I have to go to 🔥 Troop List per Arcane Stone (Ended: 16.07.18, Reason: Lack of interests) - #73 by Tellah instead of the preferred ashtender.
Yeah, Mythics are broken in that link. I don’t have a good fix at the moment because there’s no table column that explicitly lists the arcanes a given troop takes, so I’m just doing a lexical link to the colors. Eventually I’ll fix it probably, maybe. Yeah.

I motion that Lyya be henceforth known as THE Lyya.
Can I get a second?

If you get bored of farming in Ghulvania, Blighted Lands also drops Arcane Dark.
Thanks actreal, I appreciate that
Just for interest, here’s my results so far going on Warlord I difficulty in Ghulvania:
Runic Magic (RM)
Minor Magic (MM)
RM
MM
Arcane Dark (-AD-)
MM
RM
MM
MM
Runic Fire (RF)
Minor Fire (MF)
MM
MM
MF
-AD-
So in summary, 15 fights, 2 Arcane Darks, 7 Minor Magic, 3 Runic Magic, 2 Minor Fire, 1 Runic Fire
Too small of a sample size, yes, but initial results are promising. I certainly didn’t expect to get 2 AD in 15 fights! Hopefully this trend continues.
I want to say it took me a week to get 6 Arcane Darks. 2 in short order is quite lucky!
In general, if I grind Explorations for a couple of hours at a pop, I feel like I’m seeing 1-2 drop per day.
Damn… I did -not- want to hear that lol. Ah well.
I’m seeing arcane about 1 in 15-16 battles overall. I did probably 100 Explores yesterday and got 7 arcanes plus 2 celestials.
Interesting… Does difficulty settings change anything? Not sure if I just had crayzee luck or???
I did about 50 in Ghulvania and got 7 Arcane Dark at Warlock I
