Influence is a resource you’ll need to unlock Trials and reach the Netherworld in The Slormancer. You’ll probably hit a wall at Trial I asking for 50 Influence without knowing where that even comes from.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how to farm it and what actually affects it.
Fight in Different Biomes
Don’t just camp one zone
Every biome has its own Influence level, and the higher it gets, the slower your Influence gains will be in that area.
To level faster:
Bounce between multiple biomes
Pick areas where your Influence level is lower
Rotate frequently to avoid slow gains
Influence stacks across all biomes, so you don’t need 50 in one. Trial I just needs 50 total Influence, not per zone.
Equip Influence-Boosting Gear
Some gear gives Influence bonuses
Look out for:
Gear stats that say they boost Influence gain
Nether item effects tied to Influence
Ancestral upgrades (once unlocked) that help with progression
Even if the raw gear stats aren’t amazing, wear them during your Influence runs.
Fight Tougher Enemies
Stronger mobs give more Influence
Elite mobs, mini-bosses, and bosses reward more Influence
Raise difficulty or use modifiers to make fights harder (but doable)
If you’re breezing through enemies, you’re probably earning less
Increasing your challenge can make the grind faster, especially if you’re already overgeared.
Unlock the Trials Faster
Once you’ve farmed 50 total Influence, you’ll unlock Trial I, which is your first real step into the Netherworld.
From that point on:
Influence starts powering Nether Charge speed
It also affects your odds of getting Pure stats on Nether items
So while it may seem pointless at first, it kicks in hard later.
Final Blurb & FAQ
If you’re stuck wondering how to get Influence in The Slormancer, just start hopping biomes, raise the stakes a bit, and slap on any Influence-boosting gear you find. The grind’s a little slow early on, but once you hit Trials and the Netherworld, it finally starts doing something meaningful.
FAQ
Q: How do I check my Influence?
Hover over biomes on the map screen, or check the bottom bar when you're selecting a mission.
Q: Do I need to farm Influence in one place?
No, Influence is shared across all biomes, and early content like Trial I just needs a total amount.
Q: What increases Influence gain?
Gear stats, Nether bonuses, fighting harder enemies, and rotating biomes all help.
Q: What does Influence actually do?
Early on, it just unlocks Trials. Later, it boosts Nether Charge speed and helps you get better Nether item stats.
