  "textContent": "Evolution materials are the bottleneck for almost every strong unit in Re:Rangers X. You can summon a Mythic and grind it to max level, but its final form stays locked until you collect a specific item, sometimes paired with takedown counts and a heap of gold. The materials come from four main pipelines: shop currencies, raid drops, story stage drops, and crafting recipes built from raw resources.\n\n⚗️\n\nQuick answer: Most evo items come from shops (Invasion, Trash, Calamity, Raid, Merchant), stage drops (Tokyo City, Surota Colony, Dungeons), or crafting at the Crafting NPC in the Upgrade Zone using Ranger Crystals plus rarity-specific materials.\n\nImage credit: __Roblox (via YouTube/@DomiBlox)__\n\n* * *\n\n### How evolution works in Re:Rangers X\n\nEvolution is permanent. Once you spend the gold and the material, the unit transforms into its evolved form, and the resources are gone. Head to the Upgrade Zone in the lobby and talk to Hollow behind the counter to see which units you own can evolve and what they need. Most evolutions cost 15,000 gold, though Secret-tier transformations like Bunny (Full Moon) push that to 50,000.\n\nSome evolutions also gate behind a takedown requirement, meaning the base unit has to defeat a set number of enemies while equipped before the option unlocks. Sukuna needs 200 takedowns, Okkotsu Yuta needs 150, and One Arm Pirate needs 250, then 400 across its two stages.\n\n* * *\n\n### Shop-based evo items\n\nSeveral materials are bought outright with currency earned from specific game modes. The Invasion Shop covers most One Piece units, the Trash Shop sells the Jankei trio, and the Calamity Shop holds the harder-to-farm cursed items. Raid Shop purchases use Cursed Scrolls or Cursed Essences, depending on the item.\n\nItem| Evolves| Source\n---|---|---\nPika Fruit| Light Admiral| Invasion Shop\nMagu Fruit| Magma Admiral| Invasion Shop\nStraw Hat| One Arm Pirate| Invasion Shop / Bounty Hunt Shop (2,000 tokens)\nGura Fruit| Strongest Man| Invasion Shop\nMero Fruit| Love Empress| Invasion Shop\nFire Fist's Hat| Fire Fist| Invasion Shop\nYoru| Hawk Swordsman| Invasion Shop\nUmbrella Jankei| Ensign| Trash Shop\nScissor Jankei| Ripper| Trash Shop\nGlove Jankei| Trash Collector| Trash Shop\nPrison Cube| The Strongest| Calamity Shop\nInhibitor Crown| Radio Girl| Calamity Shop\nBurning Eyepatch| Berns| Calamity Shop\nChrono Sword| Hero's Angel| Calamity Shop\nPromise Ring| The Fool, The Prodigy| Calamity Shop / Cursed Raid Shop (400 Cursed Essences)\nKing's Shrine| Curse King| Raid Shop (400 Cursed Scrolls)\nGorodo| Yoka| Raid Shop\nEsper Phone| Raiga| Raid Shop\nEsper Hair| Teriyaki| Raid Shop\nCursed Finger| Curse King (set of 16)| Merchant, Calamity, Raid, or Trash Shop; also drops in Calamity\nBlade of Sun| The First Sunbringer (Yorichi)| Merchant\n\nCursed Essences and Cursed Scrolls both come from raid completions, with rewards scaling by difficulty. A Nightmare raid run typically pays 7 to 10 Cursed Essences, Hard pays 5 to 7, and Normal pays 2 to 3.\n\nImage credit: __Roblox (via YouTube/@DomiBlox)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Stage and dungeon drops\n\nA handful of evo items only fall from specific stages. These are pure RNG drops, so expect repeat runs.\n\nItem| Evolves| Where it drops\n---|---|---\nVirtual Swords| Virtual Swordsman (Kirito)| Dungeon chests and 100-floor milestones\nTwin Weapons| Muki| Surota Colony - Act 1\nSorcerer Glasses| Muki (second form)| Surota Colony - Act 2\nConqueror's Sword| One Arm Pirate (Emperor)| Bounty Hunt boss, ~10% past Wave 10\nDemon Fang Shard| Curse King (set of 7)| Tokyo City - Act 3, ~25% per clear\nKing's Finger| Curse King (set of 16)| Calamity Mode, defeat both Sukuna and Mahoraga in one run\n\n* * *\n\n### Crafted evo items\n\nMost high-tier evolutions, especially anything pushing a unit toward Secret rarity, get crafted at the Crafting NPC in the Upgrade Zone. Recipes lean on Ranger Crystals plus theme-specific resources like Narmekian Crystal for Saiyans, Chakra Shards for Naruto units, and Kakuja Mask Shards for Tokyo Ghoul characters.\n\nCrafted Item| Evolves| Recipe\n---|---|---\nDragon Orb| Piccolo| 3 Ranger Crystal, 1 Nano Fiber Wire, 4 Narmekian Crystal, 15 Dracoscale Shard, 50 Green Bean, 10 Power Core\nWest Blue Fish| Black Leg| 15 Ranger Crystal, 5 Marine Tech Chip, 5 Obsidian Plate, 3 Void Pearl, 5 Will Core, 50 Soul Shard, 45 Rubber Fruit\nGolden Handhook| Tidal Tyrant| 15 Ranger Crystal, 5 Marine Tech Chip, 5 Obsidian Plate, 5 Mystic Kelp, 45 Rubber Fruit, 50 Sea Fragment\nScroll of Sage| Naruto| 5 Ranger Crystal, 1 Scroll of Focus, 1 Ancient Talisman, 5 Chakra Shard, 20 Storm Flake Crystal, 60 Ramen\nGolden Cloud| Goku| 5 Ranger Crystal, 4 Narmekian Crystal, 1 Energy Vial, 20 Green Bean, 10 Power Core, 15 Narmekian Ore\nCursed Mark| Sasuke| 5 Ranger Crystal, 1 Smoke Orb, 1 Kunai Shards, 5 Chakra Shard, 2 Storm Flake Crystal, 30 Ramen\nEmperor Crown| Legendary Saiyan| 10 Ranger Crystal, 7 Narmekian Crystal, 2 Enhanced Optical Lens, 1 Phantom Alley, 100 Green Bean, 35 Power Core, 35 Narmekian Ore\nGhoul Mask| Black Mask| 1 One-Eyed Fragment, 10 Ranger Crystal, 7 Kakuja Mask Shard, 2 Yoshimura's Mask Fragment, 60 Gourmet Meat, 35 Ujaku Feather, 35 Biaiku Scale\nJason 14's| Stitchblade| 1 Death Shard, 10 Ranger Crystal, 7 Kakuja Mask Shard, 3 Arata Armor Piece, 5 CCG Investigator's Badge, 35 Ribe's RC Cells, 7 Centipede Husk, 100 Gourmet Meal, 35 Ujaku Feather\nScorpion Mask| Black Mask (second form)| 5 One-Eyed Fragment, 10 Ranger Crystal, 40 Kakuja Mask Shard, 5 Yoshimura's Mask Fragment, 20 Centipede Husk, 120 Gourmet Meal, 50 Biaiku Scale\nAnger of the Owl| Silver Reaper| 5 One-Eyed Fragment, 1 Owl Fragment, 50 Kakuja Mask Shard, 8 CCG Investigator's Badge, 6 Yoshimura's Mask Fragment, 18 Centipede Husk, 120 Gourmet Meal, 75 Biaiku Scale\nChaostic Sword| Knight King| 12 Ranger Crystal, 2 Ancient Power Core, 7 Obsidian Plate\nLucky Ticket| Fortune Sorcerer| 6 Little Frog, 15 Soul Core, 20 Cursed Core\nAssassin's Spear| Sorcerer Assassin| 12 Little Frog, 15 Soul Core, 15 Cursed Core\nShinobi Mask| Crow Ninja| 10 Ranger Crystal, 3 Ancient Talisman, 1 Core of Silence, 10 Chakra Shard, 50 Shadow Fiber, 69 Ramen\nHoly Sword| Holy Rider| 5 Obsidian Plate, 7 Ancient Power Core\nCosmic Visor| Cosmic Dreamer| 500 each of Lightning, Moon, Ice, Dark, Leaves, Fire, Aqua, and Sun Universe\nLeader's Cape| Cosmic Swordsman| 100 each of Lightning, Moon, Ice, Dark, Leaves, Fire, Aqua, and Sun Universe\nNameless Glasses| Nameless| 100 Sun Universe, 200 Smoke Orb, 150 Enhanced Optical Lens, 100 Ghost Lens\nShadow Arrow| Shadow| 100 Moon Universe, 100 Kakuja Mask Shard, 50 Void Pearl, 75 Phantom Alloy\nStreamer's Milestone| Streamer| 100 Nano Fiber Wire, 250 Power Core\nSpiral Negation Core| Evil Spiral| 150 Dark Universe, 200 Soul Core, 20 Ancient Talisman, 100 Sea Gem Fragment, 250 Ujaku Feather\nReader's Phone| Reader| 150 Aqua Universe, 100 Obsidian Plate, 125 Scroll of Focus, 225 Soul Core, 250 Ujaku Feather\nRimetsuken| The Misfit| 75 Ancient Power Core, 150 Soul Core, 50 Ancient Talisman, 100 Demon Fang Shard, 250 Soul Shard\nImage credit: __Roblox (via YouTube/@DomiBlox)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Where raw materials come from\n\nCrafting recipes pull from a pool of raw resources that drop across the game's modes. Knowing which mode feeds which material saves a lot of wasted runs.\n\nMaterial type| Primary source\n---|---\nRanger Crystal| High-difficulty Story stages, Raids, event rewards\nChakra Shard, Ramen, Storm Flake Crystal| Naruto-themed Story stages\nNarmekian Crystal, Narmekian Ore, Green Bean, Power Core| Dragon Ball-themed Story stages\nKakuja Mask Shard, Centipede Husk, Biaiku Scale, Ujaku Feather, Ribe's RC Cells| Ghoul City portals (I, II, III)\nOne-Eyed Fragment, Yoshimura's Mask Fragment, Owl Fragment| Ghoul City rare drops, RC Cell portal\nSoul Core, Cursed Core, Little Frog| Demon Slayer / JJK content stages and raids\nUniverse shards (Lightning, Moon, Ice, Dark, Leaves, Fire, Aqua, Sun)| Element-specific Ranger Stages\nDracoscale Shard, Demon Fang Shard, Void Pearl, Mystic Kelp| Late-game Story acts and Calamity\nSmoke Orb, Kunai Shards, Scroll of Focus, Ancient Talisman, Obsidian Plate, Ancient Power Core| General Story drops, Crafting milestones\nSoul Shard, Sea Fragment, Sea Gem Fragment, Rubber Fruit| One Piece-themed stages and Invasion\n\n* * *\n\n### Verifying an evolution worked\n\nWhen you evolve a unit, the upgrade screen swaps the unit's portrait, name, and rarity color immediately. The new form shows up in your inventory under its evolved name (for example, Sukuna becomes Curse King (Shrine), Kirito becomes Virtual Swordsman (Stardust)). If the option is greyed out at Hollow's counter, one of three things is missing: the takedown count, the gold, or a specific item in your inventory. Hover the lock icon to see which.\n\n⚠️\n\nEvolution is irreversible. Burning rare materials on a Rare or Epic unit only gets you to Legendary, which you can usually pull from summons. Save Karmib Daggers, Virtual Swords, Vampire Mask, Promise Ring, King's Shrine, and similar Mythic-tier items for the units that actually shape the meta.\n\nImage credit: __Roblox (via YouTube/@DomiBlox)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Priority order for spending materials\n\nIf you only have enough resources for one or two evolutions, the highest-impact targets right now are King of Shadows into Shadow Monarch (Karmib Daggers), Kirito into Virtual Swordsman Stardust (Virtual Swords), Vampire Emperor into the Heaven form (Vampire Mask), Sukuna into Curse King Shrine (King's Shrine + Fingers + Demon Fang Shards), and One Arm Pirate into the Emperor form (Straw Hat, Rubber Pirates, Conqueror's Sword). These transformations push their base units into the top tier of clear speed and boss damage.\n\nLower-priority crafts like Turbo Statue (Otaku) and Golden Cloud (Saiyan Warrior) can wait. The base versions are easily replaced by summons, and the evolved forms cap at Legendary rather than pushing into Mythic or Secret rarity.\n\nNew evolution items get added with each major content drop, so the recipe pool keeps expanding. Keep raw materials like Ranger Crystals, Soul Cores, and the Universe shard set in reserve since they show up in nearly every new recipe.",
