E7 Vault [verified]

In Epic Seven, "Vaulting" usually refers to one of two things:

1. Secret Shop Vaulting: The act of refreshing the shop to hoard (vault) Mystic Medals and Covenant Bookmarks.
2. Hero Vaulting: Storing heroes you don't use to manage inventory space (Equipment Vault).

Below is a comprehensive guide to the most common interpretation: The Secret Shop Vault Strategy.

Step 2: What to Buy (The "Vault" Contents)

When you are refreshing (vaulting), you are looking for specific items to fill your reserves: e7 vault

1. Covenant Bookmarks (Yellow): Always buy these if you have the gold. They are the primary source for pulling limited banners.
2. Mystic Medals (Purple/Gold): These are the jackpot. Always buy these. They allow you to pity Mystic summons (Moonlight Heroes).
3. Level 85 Epic Gear: Only buy if it has perfect substats (Speed, Crit Rate, Crit Dmg).
   • Warning: This is a trap for beginners. Do not buy gear until you are end-game and understand gear appraisal.
4. Stigma: Occasionally appears. Useful if you are building characters that require stigma for skill-ups (like filtering for Dupe skills).

Potential Drawbacks of the E7 Vault

No solution is perfect. While the E7 Vault offers superior security, there are trade-offs:

• Complexity: This is not "plug and play." You need a dedicated IT team to manage key sharding and rotation.
• Recovery Time: Because of the deep verification checks (every file is hashed and cross-checked), restoring millions of small files takes longer than a simple file copy.
• Cost: Enterprise-grade E7 Vault appliances (like those from Zadara or Pure Storage) start at $15,000 for the base unit.
• Forgetfulness Risk: If you lose 3 out of 5 key shards, the data is gone forever. There is no "Forgot my password" button.
