In Avowed, upgrading weapons and armor requires various resources, but none are as crucial—or as rare—as the four types of Adra: Base Adra, Awakened Adra, Corrupted Adra, and Adra Bán. Each type boasts different rarity and value, with higher-tier Adra essential for upgrading to Legendary quality. For instance, only Adra Bán allows for Legendary weapon upgrades.

The rarity of Adra increases with the game's difficulty. As you progress to challenging areas, enemy stats rise, demanding higher-quality gear, and thus, rarer Adra. While lower-tier Adra can be crafted into higher tiers at a Party Camp, finding higher-tier Adra directly in later game zones is far more efficient. Here's a region-by-region breakdown of Adra spawns:

• Base Adra: Dawnshore
• Awakened Adra: Emerald Stair Region
• Corrupted Adra: Shatterscarp Region
• Adra Bán: Galawain’s Tusks and the final, unnamed game area.

Your Adra acquisition will naturally scale with your progression through the game's four main regions. Completing major story sections, such as defeating bosses (like Ygwulf in Dawnshore, or mini-bosses in the final area for Adra Bán), often yields Adra as a reward.

Beyond these key story moments, several methods exist for obtaining Adra:

• Merchants: Many merchants in major settlements (like Paradis in Dawnshore or Thirdborn in Shatterscarp) sell limited Adra.
• Loot: Defeating named enemies (bosses and mini-bosses) and exploring lockboxes (remember those lockpicks!) often rewards Adra.
• Crafting: Disassembling unique weapons and armor yields Adra, scaling with the item's quality. Lower-quality Adra can be upgraded at a Party Camp.
• Strangled Adra: These large Adra pillars, scattered throughout the Living Lands, often require puzzle-solving to unlock their Adra reward.

Mastering these methods will ensure a steady supply of Adra for your crafting needs. Good luck, adventurer!
