Best Activities to Focus On

Expeditions for Better Equipment

Start with Exploration Dungeons

The easier mode. Gear fits your story level, and a pity box shows up after a few clears.

Move Up to Conquest Dungeons

The main source of Unique gear once your Item Level is high enough.

  1. Krao Cave, DraupnirFirst Expeditions most players run
  2. Artwork: Vakron Sky IslandVakron Sky IslandNext step, around 1,400 Item Level
  3. Fire Temple, Ferocious Horn DenAround 2,100 Item Level, strong weapons and armor

Transcendence for Arcana

Main Arcana source

Transcendence drops Arcana cards and the materials to level them.

Farm a stage you clear

Steady clears beat failed pushes. Move up when your Arcana gets better.

Opens at about 1,600

Stage 1 needs roughly 1,600 Item Level, by guide consensus.

Daily Dungeons for Upgrade Materials

Unknown Fissure

The daily dungeon tab, and the best steady source of Enhance Stones.

14 entries a week

Shared by every character on your server. Two a day uses them all.

Always useful

Enhance Stones never stop mattering, even after you swap gear.

Pet Souls From Hunting

  1. 1

    Pick the pet you want and find the zone where its monster spawns.

  2. 2

    Hunt that monster on the map to collect its Pet Souls.

  3. 3

    Open Pet Chests from events and dungeons for the rest.

  4. 4

    Each new pet adds to your Genus Insight bonuses.

Nightmare for Phantasmal Fragments

2 attempts a day

They bank up to 14, so you can save them for a long session.

Shop first buys

Daevanion Crystals and Stigma Shards are the usual picks.

Spend Odyle Energy Before It Caps

Refill rate

Odyle Energy comes back at 15 every 3 hours on each character.

Cap

560 without Membership, 840 with it. Anything over the cap is wasted.

Cube cost

Most Conquest and Transcendence reward Cubes cost 40.

What to Farm First FAQ

Should I save Enhance Stones while leveling?

Mostly, yes. Leveling gear gets replaced fast, so spend only what you need to beat a wall and keep the rest for level 45 gear.

Are daily dungeon entries per character?

No. The 14 weekly Unknown Fissure entries are shared by all your characters on the same server.

What should a fresh level 45 farm first?

Expedition gear and Enhance Stones. They push your Item Level toward Conquest and Transcendence, where the better rewards are.
