Leaf of Vigor is one of the key materials you’ll need to strengthen Castella in DragonSword: Awakening. After reaching her second Breakthrough, this resource becomes essential for increasing her power, making it a priority for players who rely on her powerful Stun abilities.

Here’s where to farm Leaf of Vigor, the fastest ways to obtain it, and the additional materials required for Castella’s Breakthrough.

Best Leaf of Vigor Farming Locations

Leaf of Vigor grows throughout forested areas, usually near trees.

The best farming locations include:

Location Notes Forest northwest of Hill of Journey Best farming spot with the highest concentration of Leaf of Vigor. North of Firefly Forest Found around the small pond. Southern Shadowed Forest Contains several gathering nodes.

Among these locations, the forest northwest of Hill of Journey offers the largest number of gathering points, making it the most efficient place to farm the material.

Get Leaf of Vigor From Dungeons

If you’d rather earn Leaf of Vigor through combat, you can obtain it by completing the Rusted Tusk Bandits’ Treasure Vault dungeon.

Difficulty Leaf of Vigor Reward Normal 4 Hard 7 Very Hard 10

Higher difficulties provide significantly better rewards, making dungeon farming one of the fastest ways to stock up on the material.

Can You Buy Leaf of Vigor?

Yes. Leaf of Vigor is also available through the Exchange.

Cost Reward 2 Adventurer’s Emblems 1 Leaf of Vigor

While this option can be useful if you’re short on materials, spending Adventurer’s Emblems on Leaf of Vigor is generally not recommended unless you have an excess of the currency.

How to Get Monster Essence

Leaf of Vigor isn’t the only material required for Castella’s Breakthrough.

You’ll also need two versions of Monster Essence, both of which drop from the Goblin Bandits’ Cave dungeon.

Dungeon Difficulty Reward Normal Lowest-Grade Monster Essence Hard Low-Grade Monster Essence

Complete both difficulty levels to gather the materials needed for the upgrade.

Castella Breakthrough Requirements

Before you can perform Castella’s next Breakthrough, you’ll need:

  • Leaf of Vigor.
  • Lowest-Grade Monster Essence.
  • Low-Grade Monster Essence.
  • Intermediate Mercenary Corps Rank.

Even if you’ve collected all the required materials, the Breakthrough option won’t become available until you’ve reached the required Mercenary Corps Rank.

Best Way to Farm Leaf of Vigor

For most players, the fastest method is to gather Leaf of Vigor in the forest northwest of Hill of Journey, as it contains the highest number of resource nodes. If you also want additional rewards while farming, repeatedly clearing the Rusted Tusk Bandits’ Treasure Vault on higher difficulties is an excellent alternative.

Once you’ve collected enough Leaf of Vigor and Monster Essence, you’ll be ready to complete Castella’s Breakthrough and unlock the next stage of her progression in DragonSword: Awakening.
