Crimson Orbs are a new currency introduced in A Universal Time (AUT) and are directly tied to the Devil May Cry content. This currency is required if you want to buy DMC-related abilities and items from the special shop. Since Crimson Orbs cannot be obtained the same way as UShards or UCoins, many players are confused about how to farm them efficiently. This guide explains how Crimson Orbs work and the best ways to collect them faster. Also check out our A Universal Time Codes for more rewards!
What Are Crimson Orbs in AUT
Crimson Orbs are a special currency created only for Devil May Cry content. They are used in the DMC Shop, which is unlocked through the Devil Vergil NPC. Unlike other currencies, Crimson Orbs are not shared across all abilities and have specific farming rules.
If you plan to unlock future Devil May Cry specs, farming Crimson Orbs early will save you a lot of time later. Before you can start farming Crimson Orbs, you must meet one important condition. You must be using a Devil May Cry ability, such as:
- Beowulf
- Vergil
If you defeat enemies without a DMC ability equipped, you will not receive any Crimson Orbs.
How to Get Crimson Orbs in A Universal Time
The only way to earn Crimson Orbs is by defeating NPC enemies while using a DMC spec. Steps to earn Crimson Orbs:
- Equip Beowulf or another DMC ability
- Find NPC enemies across the map
- Defeat them using your DMC moves
- Collect Crimson Orbs from the kills
Bosses and regular NPCs both count, as long as the final hits are done using a DMC spec.
Best Places to Farm Crimson Orbs Fast
To farm Crimson Orbs efficiently, focus on areas with fast NPC respawns. Recommended farming spots:
- Thug spawn areas
- Low-level NPC zones with quick respawn timers
- Locations close to safe zones to avoid PvP interruptions
Avoid areas with heavy player traffic, as PvP deaths slow down farming progress.
Farming Tips to Increase Efficiency
- Use fast melee combos to clear NPCs quickly
- Stay in one farming area instead of moving around
- Disable PvP if possible while farming
- Use armor indicator settings to manage fights better
If you are also working on the Beowulf quest, farming Thugs is an easy way to progress both goals at the same time.
What Can You Buy With Crimson Orbs
Crimson Orbs are used in the DMC Shop, accessible by talking to Devil Vergil. You can use Crimson Orbs to:
- Buy Devil May Cry abilities
- Purchase DMC-exclusive items
- Prepare for future free-to-play DMC releases
The shop will continue to expand as new DMC specs are added.
Crimson Orbs are a long-term currency designed for Devil May Cry content in A Universal Time. While farming them may feel slow at first, using the right ability and choosing the right location makes a big difference. If you plan to unlock future DMC abilities without spending premium currency, starting your Crimson Orb grind early is the best move.
