Ingredients

Ingredients are special items that can be found in Cookie Run. They were introduced in the New World season together with the introduction of Evolve Treasures. Ingredients are critical for evolving treasures, as players must collect all the required ingredients before they can evolve the treasures.

Ingredients can be obtained from opening Mystery Boxes, and this is basically the main and most common way to obtain them. They also can be created with Magic Powders or be bought from the Medal Exchange Center, though the latter is applicable to S-grade and SS-grade ingredients only. Ingredients can also be obtained from Fortune Dough or limited-time events.

There are currently five grades of ingredients: C, B, A, S, and SS-grade ingredients, with C-grade as the most common and cheapest when obtained from Magic Powders, and SS-grade as the rarest and most expensive.

Earning Ingredients
Recently, in the October 23 update, players can obtain ingredients from other sources for the first time through the Medal System. However, this is mostly limited to S and SS-grade ingredients, where the prices can range from less than 100 medals to a costly sum of more than 1000 medals. However, players usually do Mystery box farming to obtain ingredients instead of using medals to buy ingredients as medals are only given out once a week, and they can be costly if the players are not advanced enough.

Selling and Extracting Ingredients
Extracting ingredients can help a player gain more magic powder, and most players do that instead of selling the ingredients as coins are easier to gain than magic powder.

Trivia

 * Magic Stone Ornament and Demon Blood, listed as A-rank and S-rank ingredients respectively, are not required for any of the possible treasure evolutions.
