    Seal costs and how to unlock them

    Here’s how it works: To unlock a new seal, you must first unlock the previous one. If you want to unlock B or C, you have to unlock A first. It’s different with R, S and T.

    With each sigil and potion you unlock, the cost of the next unlock increases. The order you choose doesn’t matter for the cost. The following table shows you the respective costs.

  • The Great Reward – Wings of Terror

    That is the big goal: If you have obtained all the materials and thus unlocked the 26 seals and 3 potions, you will receive a great reward:

  • The Wings of Terror, seal AD
  • So if the cosmetic wings are important to you, you have one goal in mind for a long time in the season. Sometimes you have to farm for a really long time for the materials of the seals and be advanced in the season to meet the requirements.

    How do you like the seasonal theme of season 28? Do you think the developers have succeeded or is something bothering you at the Altar of Rites?
