How do you get your first grimoire in Clover Time?
According to community wikis, you get your first grimoire at the Grimoire Tower: follow the tower-shaped icon on your compass to find the tower, then use the draw point inside. Community guides report that each draw costs 1 Mana Crystal, and that your first Mana Crystal comes from the opening chest chain (a Normal Chest leads to a Medium Chest, which provides it).
- Open your compass and look for the tower-shaped icon.
- Follow the icon to the Grimoire Tower.
- Enter the tower and find the draw point inside.
- Confirm a draw — community guides report it consumes 1 Mana Crystal.
- Watch the animation; the grimoire appears in your hand or inventory.
Where is the Grimoire Tower?
Community guides describe the Grimoire Tower as the destination of the tower-shaped compass icon. The draw point itself is inside the tower, not at its entrance. No verified source provides a step-by-step route from the starting church, so treat the compass marker as the authoritative navigation cue.
The beginner walkthrough covers the opening systems — chests, early tools, and compass landmarks — that lead up to this tower visit.
Do you need a key to enter the tower?
Sources report two versions of the flow, and they do not fully agree:
| Reported flow | What community sources say |
|---|---|
| Key branch | Some tutorial flows report receiving a key from an NPC near the tower before entering. The NPC’s name and trigger conditions are not documented. |
| Direct entry | Other gameplay footage shows players walking into the tower without a key step. |
Because the available sources conflict, we do not present either version as the only correct one. Check for a key prompt near the tower entrance when you arrive; if none appears, try entering directly. See the tools guide for the quest-based items you can collect around the starting area while you head there.
What does each grimoire draw cost?
Community wikis report a cost of 1 Mana Crystal per draw at the tower. Keep this resource separate from Spins:
| Resource | Used for | Not used for |
|---|---|---|
| Mana Crystal | Grimoire draws at the tower | Character rerolls |
| Spins | Race, Social Class, and Trait rerolls | Grimoire draws |
Spending the wrong resource is a common beginner mistake. If you are reshaping your character instead, read the reroll guide. For how the first Mana Crystal is earned from the opening chests, see the Mana Crystal guide, and check the codes reference for current promotions before you spend anything.
What happens after the draw animation?
Community reports agree that the grimoire ends up in your hand or in your inventory once the draw animation finishes, but they do not document a single equip flow or the first spell’s controls. If the book lands in your inventory, open your inventory screen to look for an equip option, and confirm the interaction prompt shown by the game rather than relying on a fixed key.
Once you have your grimoire, the grimoire tier list can help you judge what you drew and whether a redraw is worth another Mana Crystal.
