To get EX Equipment in Soul Land: New World, farm time-limited boss events to collect crafting drops, tokens, and shards, then spend those tokens in the specialized Equipment Exchange Shop to purchase specific gear pieces.
EX Equipment offers superior base attributes and unique set bonuses compared to lower-tier gear, making it a key component of end-game character optimization.
Farming Boss Events for EX Materials
Time-limited boss challenges serve as the main source for EX-tier drops and currency. Because these bosses operate on rotating schedules, you must check the event calendar regularly to target the specific materials required for your Martial Soul build.
When participating in boss encounters, focus on these tactical priorities:
- Maximize Damage Output: Drops and reward thresholds often scale with your damage contribution rather than basic participation.
- Coordinate with a Guild: Joining an active guild allows you to clear boss encounters faster, letting you complete more attempts per event window.
- Target Level-Appropriate Bosses: Avoid spending daily stamina on boss brackets above your current character level, as high encounter difficulty and low drop rates yield poor returns for your time.
Buying Gear from the Exchange Shop
The Equipment Exchange Shop allows you to bypass loot drop chance by directly purchasing the EX Equipment components you need using event tokens or shards.
To spend your tokens efficiently:
- Prioritize Primary Roles: Target gear pieces for your main DPS or tank role before spreading resources across alternate builds.
- Complete Set Bonuses: Buy equipment pieces that unlock set passive effects tailored to your Martial Soul rather than purchasing standalone filler pieces.
- Save Up for Key Components: Verify all shop requirements and item stats before purchasing to avoid wasting limited event currency on temporary upgrades.
Managing Stamina and Resource Limits
Acquiring and upgrading EX Equipment requires significant time and stamina. Balancing your daily activities ensures steady gear progression without stalling overall character development:
- Stamina Allocation: Divide your daily stamina between time-limited boss runs, general character leveling, and Soul Card upgrades.
- Refinement Costs: Upgrading individual EX pieces requires specialized refinement materials. Secure a complete base equipment set first before spending heavy resources to max out single items.

I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
This saved me time in the early game.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
This helped me understand updates much better.
