What is Mithril

Mithril is a rare and mysterious resource, often depicted as a purple stone-like item or a shimmering metal imbued with extraordinary power.

Mithril’s Role

Its sole purpose is to empower Legendary Hero Gear, taking your equipment beyond standard enhancements to unlock significant stat boosts and unique bonuses. Unlike common materials used for basic upgrades, Mithril is reserved for the elite tier of gear progression.

Mithril represents the pinnacle of gear enhancement. Once your Hero Gear reaches Legendary status, Mithril allows you to enhance its combat potential. Whether you're boosting attack power, defense, or special abilities, Mithril is the catalyst that transforms good gear into game-changing equipment.

The Empowerment

Empowerment is the advanced enhancement mechanic that sets Legendary Hero Gear apart in Whiteout Survival. It occurs at specific milestones - levels 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100—using Mithril and Mythic Gear to unlock additional bonuses(attack, defense, health)or unique effects tailored to the gear type, such as increased critical hit chance for weapons or damage reduction for armor.

 

How to get Mithril

Acquiring Mithril requires dedication and strategy, as its sources are limited and often tied to specific in-game activities. Below are the primary ways to obtain Mithril, including details on quantities and accessibility:

Arena Shop

• Amount: 3 Mithril per season
• Cost: 10,000 Arena Coins each

The Arena Shop is a reliable source for all players, especially free-to-play Chiefs. However, the high coin cost means you'll need to consistently rank well in Arena battles to stockpile enough currency. With only three available per season, plan your purchases carefully.

Purchase Packs

• Amount: Varies (e.g., 1 Mithril from the Gear Empowerment Pack, 10 Mithril from a pack unlocked at level 19)
• Cost: Pack-specific pricing

Spending players can acquire Mithril through packs offered in the in-game store. For example, the Gear Empowerment Pack provides one Mithril, while a more substantial pack becomes available after your gear hits level 19, offering 10 Mithril. These are ideal for accelerating progress but are less viable for free-to-play players.

Craftman Store

• Amount: Variable (depends on stock and offers)
• Cost: 40 currencies

Mithril occasionally appears in the Craftman Store, though availability is inconsistent. Free-to-play players are often better off prioritizing other items like the Ice Skating Ring for immediate benefits, reserving this source as a secondary option.

Frostdragon Tyrant

• Amount: At least 2 or 3

The Frostdragon Tyrant event is a great opportunity for F2P players to get Mithril. Players can get at least 2-3 Mithril during the event. That's a lot compared to other events.

Other events

• King of Icefield Event
• State of Power (SVS) - Preparation Phase

Major events like State of Power or seasonal challenges frequently reward Mithril. These are golden opportunities for all players, especially F2P Chiefs, to stock up without spending. Event rewards depend on performance, so active participation is key.

*Note: Mithril is only collectable after you get Legendary Hero Gear. It cannot be purchased or collected from any shop beforehand. You must first unlock it. This requires leveling your Mythic Hero Gear to level 100 and then converting it into Legendary Hero Gear.

 

How to Use Mithril

The main purpose of Mithril is to provide further upgrades to Legendary Hero gear, and in this process a large number of materials need to be prepared. Here's how to wield this powerful material:

• Upgrade Mythic Gear

Enhance your Mythic Hero Gear to level 100 and reach Mastery Level 10. This is the prerequisite for ascension.

• Ascend to Legendary

Sacrifice two additional Mythic Gear pieces to transform your level 100 Mythic Gear into Legendary Gear. This step unlocks the potential for empowerment.

• Enhance to Empowerment Threshold

Upgrade your Legendary Gear to level 19 using standard resources (e.g., enhancement materials and coins).

• Empower with Mithril

At level 19, use 10 Mithril and 3 Mythic Gear to empower your Legendary Gear to level 20. This process repeats at levels 40, 60, 80, and 100, with increasing resource demands each time.

The empowerment process is resource-intensive. Plan ahead to avoid stalling mid-upgrade, as both materials are hard-earned.

 

Whiteout Survival Mithril Requirements

In Whiteout Survival, every 20 levels allow you to boost your Legendary Hero Gear using Mithril. The following are detailed requirements for the number of Mithril

Level of Legendary Hero Gear	Requirement
20	10x Mithril 5x Mythic Hero Gear
40	20x Mithril 5x Mythic Hero Gear
60	30x Mithril 5x Mythic Hero Gear
80	40x Mithril 10x Mythic Hero Gear
100	50x Mithril 10x Mythic Hero Gear

 

When You Should Use Mithril

Strategic timing can amplify Mithril’s impact. Rather than using it immediately, consider saving it for optimal moments:

• Major Events

Events like State of Power offer bonus points and rewards for gear upgrades. Using Mithril on Day 5 (Power Boost) of this event, for instance, maximizes your score and resource gains.

• Milestone Goals

Empower gear when it aligns with your progression goals, such as unlocking a key stat boost before a tough battle or leaderboard push.

• Resource Readiness

Ensure you have enough Mythic Gear and Mithril stockpiled to complete an empowerment cycle without delays.

Using Mithril outside of events or without preparation can diminish its value. Patience pays off—wait for the right opportunity to get the most bang for your buck.

 

What Should F2P Players Do

F2P players face unique challenges in obtaining and using Mithril. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your journey:

Focus on Arena Coins

Prioritize purchasing Mythic Gear chests in the Arena Shop to equip your heroes with the best possible gear before investing in Mithril.

Maximize Trading Vouchers

Regularly trade in excess Hero Shards, Exploration Manuals, and Widgets at the Tundra Trading Station to accumulate Trading Vouchers for Mithril.

Take part in Events

Actively engage in all game events, as they are your primary source of Mithril. Whether through direct rewards or event currencies, events offer the best opportunities to gather this rare resource.

Acquiring Mithril is a marathon, not a sprint. Plan your resource allocation carefully, participate in events diligently, and use the game's opportunities wisely to gradually build your Mithril reserves.
