Introduced during playtest 3, this currency provides players with control over gear optimization instead of forcing them to rely purely on random dungeon drops.
How Do You Get Cursed Fragments in Ravengard?
Cursed fragments are collected primarily through two methods: claiming class level rewards and surviving dungeon runs. When you gain class levels during play, you do not automatically receive items in your hotbar. Instead, you must travel to the Raven's Nest Tavern in the hub village of Ravenport and speak with Eleanor. Eleanor distributes milestone rewards that include class-specific weapons, accessories, crafting materials, and quantities of cursed fragments.
The second primary source comes from match completion. Successfully finding an escape portal and knowing how to extract from either the original dungeon or the Outer Ruins rewards cursed fragments directly to your profile. Players who defeat enemies and loot chests but fall before reaching an extraction portal forfeit their unextracted run earnings. Additionally, players dismantling spare rare gear through salvaging can occasionally produce fragments alongside base metal ingots and rivets.

Where Can You Spend Cursed Fragments on Equipment?
Darius is the hub NPC responsible for applying cursed fragments to weapons and armor in Ravengard. Located near the main town structures, Darius allows you to place an eligible piece of gear into an enhancement interface.
According to the official Playtest 3 announcement on the Hypixel server forums:
By speaking with Darius, players can spend Cursed Fragments to add or replace Modifiers on their weapons and armor. — Hypixel Team in the official Playtest 3 announcement
When you submit an item to Darius with a cursed fragment, the system rolls a new percentage modifier. If the item already possesses an existing modifier, the new result replaces the old one. Because high rolls are scarce, keeping a reserve of fragments is recommended before attempting to improve an already serviceable weapon.
What Modifiers Can You Roll on Weapons and Armor?
Equipment modifiers are stat enhancements that boost weapon damage or armor defense by a rolled percentage up to 20%. Previously, equipment only possessed fixed stats or random modifiers found inside dungeon chests. With cursed fragments, players can manually reroll these values on craftable equipment, dark steel gear, and boss drops.
A weapon rolling a 19% or 20% modifier gains a noticeable damage increase per swing. For example, high-end dark steel swords and stiletto daggers scale substantially with upper-bracket rolls, allowing damage-focused classes to secure quicker eliminations against both dungeon creatures and rival teams. Defensive modifiers apply identical percentage scaling to protection values on plate tunics, leggings, and boots, granting durable builds like the knight superior damage mitigation in close-quarters skirmishes.
Gear Optimization and Upgrade Decisions
Choosing when to spend cursed fragments depends on item tier, material scarcity, and the risk of losing unbanked equipment during high-tier expeditions.
| Upgrade Option | Best Used When | Cost and Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon Damage Reroll | Increasing attack output on end-game dark steel or boss swords | 1 Cursed Fragment per attempt at Darius |
| Armor Defense Reroll | Boosting plate or dark steel protection before fighting dungeon bosses | 1 Cursed Fragment per attempt at Darius |
| Level Reward Milestone | Securing base fragment supplies alongside class armor sets | Reaching specific class levels and speaking with Eleanor |
Players actively sharing progression details on the official Ravengard forums frequently prioritize rerolling primary weapons first. Securing a damage bonus between 15% and 20% significantly shortens encounters against high-health bosses such as the Wraith, Cursed Knight, and Skeletree, preserving healing supplies for extraction fights.
