Destiny fruit Guide | Sword x staff

Destiny Fruit is one of Sword x Staff's most misunderstood resources. New players often burn them at random map locations hoping for a lucky drop, when the item actually has a specific job: filling relic gallery gaps that the gacha system leaves behind. Used correctly, Destiny Fruit accelerates your combat power far faster than random spending ever could.

This guide breaks down where Destiny Fruit comes from, when to spend it, and how to avoid the mistakes that waste your stockpile. If your relic collection has stalled or your account feels behind where it should be, LootBar offers a fast, secure way to top up Sword x Staff and keep your progression on pace while you apply these strategies.

What Destiny Fruit Actually Does

Destiny Fruit is spent through Destiny Exploration - traveling to a specific map location and using fruit there to roll for a relic missing from your Relic Gallery. Each kingdom (Verdantglade, Cinder Ridge, Aqualis, Loong Haven) has its own gallery tab and its own set of exploration locations, but the Destiny Fruit pool itself is shared account-wide.

A secondary use is regional unlocks at each kingdom's local vendor: vine potions, keys, and drills that open sub-areas, chests, and gathering nodes. These are useful, but they are not the primary reason to hold onto fruit.

Use Case	Priority	Notes
Destiny Exploration (relic gallery gaps)	Primary	Targets a specific missing relic
Regional unlocks (potions, keys, drills)	Secondary	Spend only with surplus fruit
Random map spending	Avoid	No guaranteed progression value

How to Fill a Missing Relic

Every Destiny Fruit spend should be targeted. Here's the process:

Open your Relic Gallery. Greyed-out entries are relics you don't own. Each kingdom has a separate tab.
Tap the missing relic to view its detail page, then check the Source list. You'll usually see a Kingdom Gacha entry alongside a "Destiny Exploration" location.
Travel to that location and confirm the spend. The cost varies per attempt, so check the confirmation dialog before committing fruit.

Repeat until the relic drops. This is the only reliable way to close specific gallery gaps - random exploration elsewhere doesn't guarantee progress toward the piece you actually need.

When to Start Using Destiny Exploration

Timing matters more than volume. Gacha pulls fill most of a kingdom's relic gallery faster than Destiny Exploration can, so spending fruit too early wastes efficiency.

Around 70% gallery completion. Once pulling has slowed and you're still missing pieces, Destiny Exploration becomes the cheapest way to close the remaining gap.
Set-bonus targeting. Relics drop in sets, and bonuses activate at 2, 3, and 4 pieces owned. If you're one piece short of a useful set, that's the highest-value target for your fruit.
Blue and purple relics. Most accounts stall on rare and epic relics rather than the top rarity tier, since gacha rate distributions tend to fill showpiece relics first. This is where Destiny Exploration earns its keep.

Avoid exploring for relics outside your build plan - an unused piece filling your gallery doesn't improve your combat power.

Where Destiny Fruit Comes From

Destiny Fruit builds up naturally through normal play, making it accessible to F2P accounts:

Daily and weekly commissions
Events (including limited-time Bingo-style missions)
The tree at your base, refreshed periodically
Login and progression rewards

Spenders can also pick up fruit through shop bundles, though early-game packs rarely include large quantities. For accounts wanting a faster start on relic sets or event thresholds, Sword x Staff top-ups provide currency that speeds up bundle access without disrupting your farming routine.

Saving Fruit for Events

A recurring seasonal mission asks players to spend Destiny Fruit a set number of times — commonly 20 uses per round, repeatable up to 10 rounds. Completing all rounds typically requires roughly 200 fruit total, alongside other event tasks like stamina spending and dungeon clears.

Event Task	Per Round	Max Rounds
Spend Destiny Fruit	20	10
Spend Stamina	100	15
Use Material Realm items	50	10
Claim dungeon rewards	3	15

Because these events appear periodically, holding a reserve of roughly 200 Destiny Fruit ensures you can clear the full reward track without scrambling to farm more mid-event.

Spending Strategy by Player Type

Player Type	Approach
F2P	Prioritize 1–2 key relic sets per kingdom; explore only for pieces completing a 3/4 or 4/4 bonus
Light/Medium Spender	Use exploration for targeted blue/purple cleanup after pulls slow down
Heavy Spender	Reserve fruit for the last 1–2 holdout relics per kingdom; use surplus on regional unlocks

Mistakes to Avoid

Spending fruit at random locations without checking the relic's source list first
Exploring for relics that don't belong to a set you actually run
Pivoting to Destiny Exploration before gacha pulls have had a chance to fill the gallery naturally

Conclusion

Destiny Fruit requires a certain degree of precision to maximize. You know what you need and what you can do without. As such, head to your Relic Gallery and take stock of what you’re missing for a set bonus, and leave out anything you might need for an event’s currency threshold, since you don’t want to spend a fortune on something you only need once. With a bit of persistence and farming, you’ll have those set bonuses and plenty more to power your runs. If you want to get ahead faster, you can buy extra loot runs with LootBar , with no need to worry about the money getting tied up elsewhere, and the option to get the most desirable top-ups with the fastest possible exchange. There’s even a separate page for Sword x Staff top-ups to help you get the most out of them.
