Lineage Piece Cursed Orbs & Cursed Shards: Farm Guide
The Two Materials
- Cursed Orb — drops from Sorcerer Students (Lv.1300) at 5% and Miwa (Lv.1600) at 20% on the Jujutsu Highschool island. Exchanged at the JJK NPCs.
- Cursed Shard — drops from JJK bosses: base Gojo and Sukuna at 35%, their Shinjuku versions at 50%.
What They Buy
Cursed Shards are the backbone of every JJK unlock:
- Sukuna melee: 15 Cursed Shards + 20 Sukuna’s Fingers + 950K coins & 6.5K gems.
- Gojo melee: 15 Cursed Shards + 2 Six Eyes + 8 Infinity Essence + 850K coins & 6.5K gems.
- Gojo (Shinjuku): 100 Cursed Shards + Enlightened race + True Six Eye + Infinity Core + 5 Limitless Shards.
- Sukuna (Shinjuku): 100 Cursed Shards + Vessel race + Slash Core + 5 True Sukuna Fingers + 5 Shrine Shards.
Efficient Farm Order
- Orbs first: farm Miwa at 20% — four times the Student rate.
- Shards: base Gojo (3.75M HP) and Sukuna (4M HP) die fast at 35% each; only step up to the 550M HP Shinjuku pair once your build can clear Extreme content — their 50% rate plus core drops make them strictly better then.
- The cursed orb quest chain and boss rotations overlap on the same island — run them together.
