The amount of Skill Powder required to upgrade a Skill Level depends on the current Skill Level and the Cookie's Class. Levels 1-20 require standard Powder, 21-40 require Refined Powder, and levels 41+ need Pristine Powder. The Powder must correspond to the specific Cookie Type chosen.

How to Farm Skill Powder?

The most efficient way to acquire Skill Powder is through completing Today's Bounties.

Skill Powder can also be acquired from the Medal Shop, Seaside Market, Rainbow Shell Gallery, specific World Exploration Stages, Choice Chests, and more.

Today's Bounties

Schedule

Check the right-hand corner in the game to view the weekly schedule for skill powders. Some powders overlap about two times per week. For example, charge powder is available on Monday and Friday; defense powder is available on Tuesday and Friday. On Sunday, there is a chance to obtain every single type of powder.

Powder Quantity without Refresh

  • For non - s, if you play up to level 12 each day, you can get 10 powders per try. So, you can get a total of 30 specific skill powders per day.
  • For s, if you play up to level 12 each day, you can get 20 powders per try. So, you can get a total of 60 specific skill powders per day.

Powder Quantity with Refresh

From Monday to Saturday, refreshing costs 300 crystals each time.

  • Non - s can get up to 20 skill powders per try with refresh. On Monday and Friday (for the same powder), they can get 120 refreshed powders each day.
  • s can get up to 50 skill powders per try with refresh. On Monday and Friday, they can get 150 refreshed powders each day. On Friday (because of defense powder overlap), non - s can get another 120 refreshed powders and s can get another 150 refreshed powders.

descript

Tips:Do not refresh on Sunday.

Refreshing on Sunday costs 1000 crystals for one time, and maxing out three refills costs 3000 crystals. It's too expensive compared to refreshing on other days (where 1000 crystals can be used for three refreshes on specific powders from Monday to Saturday).

Weekly and Monthly Gains

  • Non- s can maximize a total of 261 powders per week. In a month, they can get 1044 skill powders. The total refresh cost of crystals for this method is about 7200 crystals per month.
  • s can maximize a total of 342 skill powders per week. In a month, they can get even more skill powders.

You can use LDPlayer, a high-performance game emulator, to set up an optimal gameplay strategy, allowing you to automate the process and easily earn Skill Powder rewards!

Tower of Sweet Chaos

A decent supplementary source for skill powders. The quantity and types of powders obtained here are somewhat random, depending on tower level and completed challenges. Higher Tower of Sweet Chaos levels may increase chances of getting rarer, more useful powders.

However, compared to the Today's Bounty method, it's not a reliable way to gather a large number of specific skill powders.

The Medal Shop

Players can earn medals by competing in the Kingdom Arena, which is part of Cookie Run Kingdom's PvP gameplay. Victories in Arena battles reward players with trophies, which then lead to higher tiers and Medals. These Medals can be exchanged for valuable items in the medal shop. The shop offers a wide selection of skill powders, and players can use their Medals to acquire the resources they need.

Tips:

Although skill powders are available for purchase, it's advisable to prioritize ancient and super-epic soul stones or soul cores. These items are crucial for enhancing your cookies' stats and abilities in the long run.

The cost of buying skill powders from here is relatively high when considering the value of other items. Moreover, the amount of skill powders you can buy is limited, and you'll likely need to spend a significant amount of in-game currency earned through arena battles.

Seaside Market

Once players upgrade their Cookie Castle to Level 6, they can access the Seaside Market.

Here, you have the option to trade surplus resources like common ingredients, extra coins, or unused equipment parts for skill powders, which is a good way to recycle unneeded resources.

You can also directly purchase skill powders using in - game currency.

Keep in mind that the prices may fluctuate, and there might be a cap on how many you can buy at once. Sometimes, special offers or discounts are available, so it's worth checking back regularly.

Rainbow Shell Gallery

Skill powders are on the list of purchasable items, and they usually require a specific currency: rainbow shells.

These shells are often obtained through special events, daily log-in rewards, or by completing certain achievements.

descript

Tips: Since rainbow shells can be hard to come by, it's important to carefully consider whether to spend them on skill powders or save them for other valuable items in the gallery.

Cookie Alliance

Every run in the Cookie Alliance gives you a chance to obtain random skill powders. The type and quantity vary each time.

Participating in the Cookie Alliance not only provides these random skill powders but also offers other benefits like guild-based rewards, experience points, and the opportunity to team up with other players.

It's a great activity to engage in regularly, not just for the skill powders but for overall game progression within the guild. You can also increase your chances of getting better-quality powders by contributing more actively to the alliance and achieving higher rankings in alliance-related events.

LDPlayer also lets you set up a one-click combo skill release, enabling you to use skills faster and more smoothly, dealing higher damage. Give it a try!

Specific World Exploration Stages

The World Exploration series serves as the primary campaign storyline in Cookie Run Kingdom. Numerous stages within this storyline reward players with a variety of prizes. Some levels specifically offer players a significant amount of skill powder.
