How to Get Free Silver in RAID: Shadow Legends

Silver is the core economic resource in Raid: Shadow Legends: it's used to level up your gear at the Forge, ascend items, upgrade Base buildings, and unlock Clan boosts. Unlike Gems (the premium currency, with much more limited free routes), Silver can be farmed consistently by playing every day, which makes it one of the game's classic bottlenecks according to the community itself. In this guide, using data drawn from reference guides like HellHades, AyumiLove, and RSLHelper, we cover the real methods for getting free Silver: from Daily Missions with fixed rewards, to farming Spider's Den, running the Campaign on Brutal, crafting at the Forge, and Clan Boss and Arena chests. We also explain why Gems don't have as solid a farming equivalent, and what options exist to get them without paying.

What's the fastest way to get Silver in RAID: Shadow Legends?

We've gathered and verified every real method for getting free Silver, ranked from most to least profitable based on the time they take and what you can actually earn from each. No tricks, no generators — just the game's own mechanics.

Variable (high volume) Daily

Farming Spider's Den

According to HellHades, Spider's Den is "the best place to farm Silver" once you unlock it, because the accessories dropped by the Spider Boss sell for a high price. The higher the stage you clear within the Den, the more Silver you get as a direct reward and the more Silver you earn selling off the discarded accessories. It's the method with the best Silver-per-energy ratio in the medium-to-long run, though the exact amount depends on your account level and the team you use to farm.

~17,500/day (specific missions) Daily

Daily Missions

Daily Missions hand out fixed amounts of Silver for simple tasks: Mission 2 (summon three Champions) gives 5,000 Silver, Mission 3 (use 50 energy) gives 2,500 Silver, Mission 4 (level up a Champion at the Tavern 3 times) gives 5,000 Silver, and Mission 6 (defeat a Campaign boss 3 times or win 7 Campaign battles) gives another 5,000 Silver. Completing all of them adds up to around 17,500 guaranteed Silver every day, not counting the weekly and monthly missions, which add further rewards.

Variable Daily

Farming the Campaign on Brutal (stage 12-3)

Before unlocking Spider's Den or reaching a high enough level for it, the best farming spot is stage 12-3 on Brutal difficulty, according to HellHades. That stage is chosen because the shields it drops sell for more than other item types, maximizing the Silver earned per energy spent while also giving you experience for your Champions.

~10,000+ per item Daily

Crafting and selling items at the Forge

Crafting the lowest-tier gear at the Forge costs just 1,000 Silver and, according to HellHades, that item can be resold for 10,000 Silver or more in most cases. The key is stockpiling materials by using your daily Faction Wars keys and Dungeon of Doom silver keys, which generates a solid profit margin for little time and effort invested.

Variable (gear to sell) Daily

Clan Boss reward chests

Taking part in your clan's daily Clan Boss battles grants chests with gear whose quality improves the higher the difficulty cleared (Normal, Hard, Nightmare, Ultra Nightmare). Most of that gear won't be used on your Champions, so it can be sold directly for extra, recurring Silver.

Variable (gear to sell) Weekly

Weekly Arena chests

Weekly Arena chests (Classic, Tag Team, and Live) hand out gear, Shards, and occasionally Gems depending on the rank reached. Gear you can't use can be sold on the market for extra Silver each week, on top of serving as account progression.

Variable (small amounts) Variable

Login calendar and events

The daily login calendar and temporary events (Champion training, dungeon diving, fusions) occasionally hand out items, experience potions, gear, and Silver. The amounts are smaller than the methods above, but they add up at no cost or extra effort simply from playing every day.

How much free Silver can you get per month?

Source	Estimated amount	Frequency
Daily Missions (2, 3, 4, and 6)	~500,000-550,000	Daily
Forge: crafting and selling items	~300,000-450,000	Daily
Estimated total	~800,000-1,000,000 Silver per month	—

This estimate is a community approximation based solely on Daily Missions with fixed rewards and one daily craft/sell cycle at the Forge; it assumes 30 days of consistent play. It doesn't include the (potentially higher) Silver earned from Spider's Den, the Brutal Campaign, or selling gear from Clan Boss and Arena chests, since those amounts vary too much by account level, team, and drop luck to give a reliable figure.

Frequently asked questions

What's the fastest way to get free Silver in Raid: Shadow Legends?

Combine Daily Missions (guaranteed fixed reward) with farming Spider's Den or, if it's not available yet, the Brutal Campaign at 12-3, and top it off by crafting and selling cheap items at the Forge. None of these methods require spending real money.

Is there a reliable method to get free Gems, like there is for Silver?

Free Gem routes are much more limited: the login calendar, weekly missions, Arena chests (for example, reaching Gold IV can give up to 150 Gems weekly), Clan Boss chests, the referral program, and, passively, the Gem Mine once purchased (up to 15 Gems a day at its max level). There's no equivalent to the constant farming that exists for Silver.

Is it worth selling all your leftover gear for Silver?

Generally yes, especially low-quality gear or gear that doesn't fit your builds. The community recommends selling before it piles up in your inventory, prioritizing keeping only items with good main stats or sets you'll actually use.
