Antiquities and Imperial City Currency
Tel Var from Imperial City Monster Packs
Earn Tel Var from Imperial City NPCs and chests, then exchange it with vendors while managing PvP loss risk.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Tel Var from Imperial City Monster Packs
Imperial City districts and sewers, accessed through the Alliance War menu.
Before you go
- Imperial City access and a character capable of defeating its roaming NPC groups.
- Inventory space for stones and other loot.
- A plan for returning to safety before carrying more Tel Var than you are willing to risk.
Farming steps
- Enter Imperial City from the Alliance War menu and choose a district or sewer area.
- Defeat roaming NPC enemies and loot treasure chests you encounter.
- Collect the Tel Var awarded and watch your carried balance as it grows.
- If nearby player activity becomes dangerous, travel back to a safe base rather than extending the run.
- At the base, locate a Tel Var vendor and inspect available gear, consumables, or crafting materials.
- Spend stones on the item you planned for, or bank/safeguard your progress where the game allows.
- Carried stones increase the monster-kill multiplier, but they also increase what you stand to lose on death.
- Chests are another supported currency source, so include them when safe rather than fighting every group.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat district or sewer trips for more Tel Var. Currency from NPCs and chests is repeatable; any amount carried remains exposed to player-death loss until secured or spent.
Common mistakes
- Staying out with a large balance: return to safety as your risk tolerance is reached.
- Assuming NPC kills are risk-free: enemy players can kill you and take Tel Var.
- Spending without a target: check vendor inventory first and accumulate toward a specific purchase.
When to stop or switch
Return to base when the amount at risk reaches your personal limit, or stop the route once you have enough Tel Var for the desired vendor purchase.
