Also known as the Black Sphere.
Used to spin the Altar of the Elements.
This item has no BLP (Bad Luck Protection). Using it also comes with certain disadvantages when it comes to guaranteed totems.

Differences from Using Emeralds

Emerald spins include BLP, meaning you’re guaranteed at least one totem after spending a certain amount of emeralds.
Black Sphere spins have no BLP. As a result, outcomes vary wildly — some players get two totems from just 1,000 spheres, while others spend 10,000 and receive nothing.
The base totem drop rate is roughly the same as with emerald spins, but the lack of BLP dramatically changes results.

Cases Where Using the Black Sphere Is Disadvantageous

Totems obtained from Black Spheres do count toward your guaranteed totem progress.
- Example: The first guaranteed totem requires 4,500 emeralds. If you get one from a Black Sphere first, the requirement jumps to 45,000 emeralds.
- Example: A player with 30 totems who gains three more via Black Spheres will see the cost of their next guaranteed totem rise by 900,000 emeralds (3 × 300,000).
Heavy Black Sphere users can prepare Elemental Spirit Summoning Sphere to trigger guaranteed totems intentionally, but this is irrelevant if you never use Emeralds for the altar.
New player warning: The first two totems require very few emeralds due to BLP. Using Black Spheres early wastes this benefit.

Free-to-Play (F2P) Totem Acquisition Variance

Whether or not BLP applies heavily influences drop results, even if the base drop rate stays the same.
Element assignment also impacts F2P players more, since only the first two totems let you choose the element.

Typical one-year F2P results can range from

Two totems total
One Level 1 totem of each element
A full set of maxed totems for one element

For non-spenders, this remains the most RNG-dependent part of the game.

Note: Paying players also experience drop variance, but over time they typically collect all totems, reducing the long-term impact compared to F2P players.
