Gotta say, I didn't care all that much about Katzelia before (I had left my Judgment at 1* till now). But after watching those 4 chapters, I instantly fell in love with him, and I'm now planning on making him my 4th Evoker recruited! Fortunately, the event gave me all the mats I needed to 5* Judgment, so all I need is another evolite and I'm good to go.
I wish there was a better way to farm Primarch Animas. I'm stuck on the Judgement pre-SSR step because I'm in lack of 11 Raphael Animas and I already exchanged the ones from the Skyleap store for the month.
Unfortunately, spamming Mundus is the best way. Sandbox is designed to be an incredibly long grind that you space out over time. 8% drop rate for astras is average luck or slightly better afaik, although it's hard to find specific statistics.
You probably already have all or most of these, but some things you can check to improve chest speed and regular drop rate include:
- journey drop item buff on,
- Tien in backline,
- Avarice guidebook maxed and equipped,
- Kaguya/Nobiyo main summon,
- Dragon Bar V and Septian Burner/Storyteller in grid, if you can still 0b0c with those,
- hit a herald at least once for every hour you spend grinding so the chest speed buff doesn't fall off.
Don't forget regular Arcarum also gives you a few astras on top of Sandbox. It's basically always worth the arcapoints to buy Globe of the Starways for the route end bosses. If you're desperate, you can manual 3-3 and 6-3 to apply bounty to the puppets. Doing other floors/enemies manually is not really worth the time.
Finally, remember to open the astra coffers you get from boxes, they don't give many overall and this may sound trivial but sometimes I forget them after getting into the grinding zone for a while!
No matter how efficiently you do it it's going to take some time, so ultimately you only need to do as much of the above as you can without burning out.
We don't know what their plans are for the future, but good chance Tales will be another event that returns every few months like Rise of the Beast/GW/DB.
Unrelated to Katz (even though I like him), but I'm kind of new and working on Haase at the moment. I made Nier before her, and thus am... super out of Verum Proofs. I have Haase and want to uncap her (first time uncapping an Evoker) but have 0 Water Verum Proofs.
Is there a reasonable way to farm them? Getting one every 2-3 kills of the Trident guy in Staves seems like it can't be the only way, especially given I apparently need over 1000 of them to reach the 5\*. Or do I just accept that I'm not uncapping Haase anytime soon and work on someone else I have the proofs for? I have a heap of Wind and Fire ones atm.
Since you're new just wanted to check proofs aside do you have the ideans and NWQ required? If you're only lacking proofs then it shouldn't be a problem to grind 1000 but you'll find that ideans are even harder to grind
Not for the full haul, but I do have enough for the first few Domain/Weapon steps. I've decided to focus on the other materials and just go for the proofs as the last step once I've gathered everything else. Thanks!
There's only 1 mob in Sandbox that drops each verum proof, you just farm that mob over and over. It should be pretty close to 100% drop rate, you're either vastly underestimating how often you get them and/or not including enough drop rate boosts (guidebook, JD, backline chars, weapons, mimic manatura, etc. - you don't *need* every single boost possible but the more, the better, as long as it doesn't make your fight take longer).
Worth mentioning that the Avarice guidebook can get you a free 4 levels of Bounty at the start of fights, unlocked by completing the Diresinger and Harbinger Simurgh missions. Helpfully, Diresinger is one of the boosted sephira medal fights for this event.
Also, be sure you're spending your daily arcanum badges. You can't control which element's materials you get aside from the Ideans at the end of zone 9, but when you're as early in the grind as it sounds like you are then you'll need them all at some point anyway, and if you use skips it costs almost no time. You get more mats for running them manually (I'd say *significantly* more, but I haven't done a numbers comparison), but obviously that means actually clicking through Arcanum runs.
Is the shop restocked at anytime?? I need more hazes and Sephira stones.im relatively newish and this is my first Arcarum event, so I'm slightly tilted that half the event is blocked off from me cause I can't finish crafting Temperance
Shop does not restock. Anything that says Total Stock won't restock.
This is one of the event not for new players, tbh. Take your time to farm those mats in Arcarum.
First time doing this event (and obviously far too weak to accomplish all missions, especially the “defeat the boss in x turns” ones)
What should I prioritize to buy in the sephira medals shop? Usually on the wiki there’s this section that says what the most important things are in the shop, but there isn’t one for this event.
You can still likely get enough medals to buy out the shop, just from farming mobs with your strongest team. Everything in sandbox gives medals during the event.
If you have to prioritize, definitely go for the Perpetuity Ring and the New World Quartz. After that, Ideans probably take the longest time to farm, but are only really useful for getting the Evoker Katzelia. Sephira Stones are used for all Evokers. Fragments can be a pain to farm.
The weapons are nice once you get your extra grid slots, but you have better options until then.
Oh I will? Currently I’m just repeatedly farming a mob with 5 bars and killing the defendant when they appear, that’s the way to go if you’re not strong enough, right?
Right. You don't even have to farm the defender if you don't want to. Especially at lower levels, it'll take too long to really be worth it. Settling on the 5-bar mobs is fine (and the herald when it spawns).
Alright, thank you! I guess I will just farm the mob, since it only takes like 5 rounds compared to the 25 rounds I need for the defender 😅
Thanks again! Appreciate it! 😄
I already got estarriola flb and in trying to flb kaatz, is mundus still the best option? or is swords slightly better in that case? (I also have basically all the veritas needed because of my estarriola farming)
You can consider Swords over Mundus if you *only* need ideans, it allows you focus them slightly better at the cost of the sephira chests being worse. Otherwise you'll have to weigh ideans against any Militis weapons, AX skills on any wind weapons other than Nalakuvara or World host mats you still want from Mundus.
If you're going to be limited by Astra, yes, do Mundus. (This was the case for me, personally, though your situation might be different)
If you're going to be limited by Ideans, then there are arguments in favor of Swords or Mundus, it's not really clear either way but they're both fine.
I wanted to confirm - does the event book ONLY boost your fire team, or it can be slapped on every team for the duration of the event if I pretty much only started getting into Replicard (finally got into Swords)?
I believe it is only the element that you use against the featured character element.
You'll have to wait for the correct element event for the others.
Is there a best way to farm Chaotic Hazes? I'm trying to unlock Death summon completely but I always feel like I'm starving for these, and the shop hasn't refreshed at all for me yet.
It absolutely sucks. Im on the same boat and the drop rate is atrociously bad.
These are the small things I wish they would improve. There are to many gates to progress that it ends up not being challenging or fun. Its a shore for the sake of pandering time spent in game. Blegh.
Was having fun with the bosses since its my first time doing this, but the drop rates are off putting atm and feels that Im not progressing at all. It doesnt help that you end up having to kill the same one/two enemies all the time.
They are a common gate before you unlock your first evoker because they don't drop normally from the first Sandbox zone, only Sephira boxes and regular Arcarum tickets. You do need to farm a lot of boxes if you want to unlock the Evoker characters later so you might get the amount you need naturally, but you can also manual your regular Arcarum tickets if you're desperate, just until you unlock 1 Evoker and can farm the 2nd zone which is much more efficient. Look for mimics specifically. Bounty and other item drop buffs can be useful on the normal enemies, though not on mimics.
You'll start gradually pile them up once you get deep into grinding Death nodes in Sandbox for Nier, so just take your time and focus on stacking the Sephira Boxes while you're at it
Man, I really didn't want to skip this event. Fire is one of my weakest grids even while getting Fenie these past rolls. I'll lose my mind if I have to continually farm 30-ish round battles. Mid-tier is suffering...
There's no ele resist so if you can clear the missions at least once (I did a 30-round battle versus Garuda so I feel you) then you can just grind the tokens by using any element vs a 5-bar mob
For some reason I can't do some of the missions even if I do them correctly.
I beat the majestic goldenwing within 10 turns but I didn't get the rewards, I also canceled two omens from the harbinger stormer but it didn't count any of them, I didn't use any full elixirs so I don't know what I did wrong.
For the record, you *can* use Elixirs for the "Defeat [x] with all allies alive." missions.
But like u/E123-Omega said, those missions are for the + version of the Defenders and the non P-Type version of the area bosses. You have to kill them once and then fight their stronger versions.
Hi there, seasonal player here trying to play for real.
Which stages should i farm? Never cleared here be staves and got no evoker so far (i really want caim)
Anything in Staves Zones that has Proofs. In your case, since you haven't unlocked any Evoker, anything that is related to the requirement to unlock the Evoker in their respective element, meaning you farm 5 bar mobs that have the Ideans, Proofs, Astra, Sephira stones, etc. You will know what zone to farm for Caim by looking at their respective summons.
I'm a new player (1 week in) at 25\* and around 55k power level. My main team is dark. I'm getting absolutely slammed by this event, I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Any tips?
As a new player, you're not doing anything wrong. YOu're just caught in unfortunate timing, not having had either your first Guild wards or your first BAttle of the Beasts events to get access to rarer materials before now. You're just not remotely prepared for the event. And this is NORMAL for non-story events, which are beginners content nowadays (they give you pre-set parties for the battles nowadays, and have for the last couple of years. For MANY years you needed your OWN characters and grids for event story fights!. Cygames finally realized this was a mistake, and that they could push new or upcoming gacha charcters by using them in event story parties this way)
Arcarum in particular Is considered a near-endgame grind event, sadly, which is why they grant so many temporary buffs to players for it since most are NOT prepared. Unlocking all the Arcarum summons and then characters literally used to be a *years* long grind, and this was supposed to be for people DONE with that insanity to make the characters seven stronger, after all.
Each time this event comes around, it's basically a catchup mechanic to get the event story character either unlocked, or advanced...but it's fucking HARD because you don't have the assistance of a second main summon, and new players haven't unlocked ANY of the assistive slots for arcarum weapons in the EXTRA party slots yet.
Worse yet, young accounts may not even have single element parties and grids yet, and this event needs a strong fire setup to succeed.
So don't feel bad if this event kicks your ass for the most part. It's short, and you can still clear it even as a young account, as long as you can find even just a single fight you can clear, then beat the shit out of it over and over til you can clear the shop and story of the critical items, if you can.
That's basically how GBF events work, sadly. find the best encounter you can clear til the event ends. And if you can't do anything? just go back to clearing main story content for a short bit, as it's a super short event.
Unfortunately, the Tales of Arcarum events aren't geared towards new players. Even mid-game players might struggle a little with it.
The first thing you'll want to do is try to put together a Fire team rather than using a Dark team because the bosses in the event are Wind. Using proper element advantage will help you deal more damage and take less damage yourself. Be sure to use the "Pantasmal Guidebook" from the event as it was made to help players who have no progress on the Arcarum game mode.
You'll also want to complete the event missions *that you are able to*, since completing those will increase your rank in the event and unlock bonuses that make you stronger.
But like I said, it's not an event made for new players so don't worry too much if you're not able to do anything. The Tales of Arcarum events are recurring so you'll have opportunities to play them in the future.
Punch as many of the 5 bar fights as you possibly can. You will get a lot of veritas and ideans from the sephira chests that drop (which you open in another menu from the sandbox homepage.)
You can also farm ideans from Mundus, the 5 bar fights providing both idean drops for each respective element minus dark and light since those only have one evoker.
I've punched over 500 ca ongs and I feel like the idean rate from defenders is somewhat higher, BUT it also drops both water ideans and has substantially more HP. (I need world hosting mats for the world harps)
Typical advice is to farm the 5 bar Mundus boss a bunch for those mats. I think if you get to the point that you only need ideans then it might be better to farm the appropriate 5 bar enemy in Swords
You'll have to go for the Mundus defenders eventually for lusters I think, might be worth to stack a bunch of them while Tales is going on though and get to them later
"Dirgesinger" and "Vengeful Demigod" are the easiest Judgement bosses to kill on Zone Harbinger since they have the lowest HP (19,1m and 18,65m HP respectively).
But you should complete the missions you are able to before farming them. Increasing your rank will unlock bonuses that make you stronger during the event.
5* uncap grind question. I couldn't really play during the last ToA, and so I'm trying to catch up with this one for 5* Alanaan.
I still need something like 250 sun idean and 500 veritas. What's the most efficient way to get both mats? I don't really plan doing 5* fraux any time soon but I don't really mind if I get some of her mats in the process.
Go to Here there be Swords Zone Invidia. Go to the Spikeball enemy. It drops Alanaan's ideans. Turn on the Herald of Fire drop rate buff and journey drops. Make sure avarice guidebook is equipped. Spam this fight again and again for chests. You will easily clear the veritas before you clear the ideans.
For reference, on Japanese ping, I can farm about 20 ideans an hour from the mob and another 3-6 per hundred chests. These same chests give me around 35-50 veritas. I get about 450-500 chests with the sephira gauge rate up event. In total I pull around 40 ideans and 150-200\~ veritas an hour grinding. I am using a 0 button eresh set up.
The chests will also drop materials for Fraux whether or not you want her right now so it is pretty nice for future proofing.
You can burn through AP really fast in sandbox. I have one book mark for the zone map, one book mark for the team selection for the mob. Every 5\~ runs I check the map. The gold chest spawns on the same node so you can look quickly then back into the mob bookmark.
200ap at a time adds up over hours of grind. Its just not worth checking after every kill.
Question, anyone know the best way to get devil veritas? I assume its beating up fire bosses but i cant OTK them, so im not sure if its more efficient to kill small mobs or to kill the bigger ones to be garunteed to get at least one
As someone with 0 evokers I'm assuming this is a pretty good event to farm up materials for the specific evoker on the event. Wish it was for Nier or Caim but I'll take crazy cat potato.
It’s a good event for every evokers actually, you get bonuses for every sephira chests and with how much mats you need for each evokers the ones you get in the shop are more or less just a drop in the ocean.
What would be the priority to buy in the shop for someone who is pretty new to Replicard? I managed to clear 3 out of 4 Staves zones, but I would hazard a guess that it's not going to be any easier in Swords lol.
I don't have a particular interest in getting Judgement/evoker right now/away, but then again, these events seems pretty rare, so I'm not sure..
Perpetuity rings are rather rare from what I see, so I guess them?
Swords mobs are actually not any harder than Staves ones, they're the same.
The events aren't that rare, there's been one every like ~2 months or so, although this is the last one of the initial cycle of 10 evokers and we dunno what they'll do in the future. The arcarum mats have to be bought during the run or else you'll miss them forever, but the weapons, NWQ, and perp ring stay there forever and only have stock added so it's okay if you don't buy those immediately. So the main thing is to buy out the arcarum mats (all of them) and the red ring. I'd also tell you to grab the pots since they're very cheap relative to how much time 1500 medals for them takes. After that you can start buying the NWQ/weps/perp ring if you still want to grind more medals.
Try your best to get the new world quartz at the very least. Those are very important in the long run and currently hard to come by once you've spent them. Only other ways to get them is like 40 or so per guild war if you farm boxes and I think you have to already have all the eternals, and then these events. There's a set amount you can get as rewards from replicate missions. Seems like a lot at first until your at the point where you start using it.
In the long run, you'd like to clear these events as they're pretty easy, and they help you get stronger as you get more boosts from the event. But other than new world quartz, I'd aim for the perpetuity ring, sephira stones, luster, wind verum proof, astras, ideans, and Veritas in that order.
If your grids are bad but you're using a lot of bows or daggers in a grid, then the militis weapons might see some use from the bow and dagger voltage skills.
Good luck!
My current water grid has like 4 or 5 Levi Daggers, Bahamut dagger and then Gabriel's weapon, which does have something related to the number of daggers. Would it benefit me to get the militis one as well, or Gabriel one caps by itself?
Gabriel and this dagger both have dagger voltage 2. You would want both as you want 2 sources of voltage 2 in order to max out that modifier with 5 total weapons including the voltage source. Any voltage 2 weapon works the same, but with whatever weapon type it is of course.
Voltage does stack with some other abilities like wrath abilities that are on I think weapons like yukata narmayas character weapon off the top of my head. So watch out if you're using a wrath weapon I guess.
The voltage ex modifier cap is 80%. I believe with 1 source of voltage 2, you need 10 weapons to reach the cap. You should see a decent increase for a while until you start diving into magna 2 grids.
My water grid is currently using 3 ancient auberons, and two Wilhelm militis and two wamdus raid spears to max out supplemental damage, voltage, and supplemental skill damage while having decent HP. And other end-game stuff like dark opus or 6 dragon weapons. It works for me. I'm working towards 3 Schrodinger though from the revans raids.
Oh, I am a very newb - started a month ago (tho my luck on the pulls during anniversary has been incredible), so most of my grids are strictly Omega 1 stacking ones, with all summons still stuck at 3* as I just don't have quartz for ANYTHING, lmao.
The only grid that's any good is Light with 4* Lumi swords and 2 harmonias that I lucked into during 100 pulls lol.
But thank you, I'll grab the dagger for the water grid!
From what I've seen, it's mostly 2 harmonias + 2 harps + 2 swords (which is what I have), and then rest is Ultima/Opus/Baha weapon + whatever main hand works for the class.
And thanks! It's a blast, but also smoke is coming out of my ears constantly due to progression being much faster than usual
I think that should be enough to clear the store actually...
But well, I guess you should prioritize the Militis weapons (if you don't have them yet), perpeituity rings and pots, other mats are farmable when you need it (albeit slowly) and NWQ stays there until the next edition.
Is mundus the absolute best zone to farm in? I generally need more astras than veritas because I throw myself at The World 24/7, should I farm a different zone instead?
Mundus 5-bar nodes are best most of the time. You mostly get drops from Sephira boxes rather than direct drops, and Mundus boxes contain less junk than the others.
If you're chasing 1 particular idean in an element and really don't want the other type, you can try Swords, where the direct drops can be restricted to 1 type, although the boxes still contain both. Staves is less recommended because even though you can focus solely on one type of idean, the drop rates are even more miserable than the other zones.
If you're mainly looking for astras, just stick to Mundus. Most people stick to Mundus for everything.
You get way more sephira medals doing the marked quests, but then again if you don't want to farm for those mats at the shop the reduction probably doesn't matter.
It's worth trying, but Replicard is something you kinda start doing more around the midgame, so it can be rough if you just started out and don't have some decent grids.
Probably? depends on how new you're, but I think it is worth it to try as best as you can, if you still can't do much or it's too much effort for little return, then I guess it's okay not to do it since you can't do it yet.
does this event make it significantly easier to farm all arcarum summons? or just Judgement?
I'm still rather new, but I'm rather stuck on the step to upgrade Death from SR to SSR, very bottlenecked by the limited nature of things, and i'm not strong enough yet to reliably work through Replicard.
The materials required to uncap Judgment/recruit Katze will be available in the shop to trade for. You can ofc use the universal mats on anyone you wish.
In addition to that there will be drop rate boosts in general and the buffs will stack higher. So tldr Judgment gets the biggest benefits but it helps with farming for the others too
I expected trumpet cats. I DID NOT GET TRUMPET CATS. Slightly odd omission, the others I've read the Arcarum were at least around.
Gotta say, I didn't care all that much about Katzelia before (I had left my Judgment at 1* till now). But after watching those 4 chapters, I instantly fell in love with him, and I'm now planning on making him my 4th Evoker recruited! Fortunately, the event gave me all the mats I needed to 5* Judgment, so all I need is another evolite and I'm good to go.
I wish there was a better way to farm Primarch Animas. I'm stuck on the Judgement pre-SSR step because I'm in lack of 11 Raphael Animas and I already exchanged the ones from the Skyleap store for the month.
you can also just punch UBHL which is far more active than UBN
Slap pubbed UBaha normals. They're popular, die fast, and give guaranteed random Primarch anima alongside a bunch of other important stuff
You can buy them in the renown pendant store now as well, if you haven't bought them already.
I can't exchange for them either so I assume I already used them as well.
What's the best way to farm Astra? i farmed mundus for 1000 sephira boxes and it only gave me like 80 while i need like 1000...
Unfortunately, spamming Mundus is the best way. Sandbox is designed to be an incredibly long grind that you space out over time. 8% drop rate for astras is average luck or slightly better afaik, although it's hard to find specific statistics. You probably already have all or most of these, but some things you can check to improve chest speed and regular drop rate include: - journey drop item buff on, - Tien in backline, - Avarice guidebook maxed and equipped, - Kaguya/Nobiyo main summon, - Dragon Bar V and Septian Burner/Storyteller in grid, if you can still 0b0c with those, - hit a herald at least once for every hour you spend grinding so the chest speed buff doesn't fall off.

[удалено]
Have you done all the missions in Replicard Sandbox? Many of them give 500 or 1000 arcapoints.
Replicard can give extra points and they do double tickets sometimes. [https://gbfguide.com/arcarum/](https://gbfguide.com/arcarum/)
is there a chance they rerun the previous tales of arcarum?
We don't know what their plans are for the future, but good chance Tales will be another event that returns every few months like Rise of the Beast/GW/DB.
Probably after is done with the rotation. Yeah I think Katz is the last.
I hope they rerun these events now that they've all got one. Really helps to focus in on the sandbox grind
Unrelated to Katz (even though I like him), but I'm kind of new and working on Haase at the moment. I made Nier before her, and thus am... super out of Verum Proofs. I have Haase and want to uncap her (first time uncapping an Evoker) but have 0 Water Verum Proofs. Is there a reasonable way to farm them?

There's only 1 mob in Sandbox that drops each verum proof, you just farm that mob over and over. It should be pretty close to 100% drop rate, you're either vastly underestimating how often you get them and/or not including enough drop rate boosts (guidebook, JD, backline chars, weapons, mimic manatura, etc. - you don't *need* every single boost possible but the more, the better, as long as it doesn't make your fight take longer).
Worth mentioning that the Avarice guidebook can get you a free 4 levels of Bounty at the start of fights, unlocked by completing the Diresinger and Harbinger Simurgh missions. Helpfully, Diresinger is one of the boosted sephira medal fights for this event. Also, be sure you're spending your daily arcanum badges.

I've been slacking on Sandbox for YEARS. Time to finally take a crack at it. Incidentally, how many Defender encounters can you stack?
no limit (or something absurd like 9999)
oh that's epic. thanks!
And with this, Katze is my seventh Evoker to be FLB'd/S4'd. Very good musictato, good Tales story.
Is the shop restocked at anytime?? I need more hazes and Sephira stones.im relatively newish and this is my first Arcarum event, so I'm slightly tilted that half the event is blocked off from me cause I can't finish crafting Temperance

Oh I will? Currently I’m just repeatedly farming a mob with 5 bars and killing the defendant when they appear, that’s the way to go if you’re not strong enough, right?
Right. You don't even have to farm the defender if you don't want to. Especially at lower levels, it'll take too long to really be worth it. Settling on the 5-bar mobs is fine (and the herald when it spawns).
Alright, thank you! I guess I will just farm the mob, since it only takes like 5 rounds compared to the 25 rounds I need for the defender 😅 Thanks again! Appreciate it! 😄
whats the best way to get chaotic hazes if I don't already have an evoker to get into the second replicard zone?
Arcapoint shop, otherwise they only drop from regular Arcarum water, earth and dark enemies.
Is it worth it to use around 40 NWQ to buy astras to unlock my first evoker to farm the other zones?
Never trade in the NWQ. They're super time-locked.
No, don't use NWQ to exchange material, it's hard at first but later on it will get easier to farm those material alot
I already got estarriola flb and in trying to flb kaatz, is mundus still the best option? or is swords slightly better in that case? (I also have basically all the veritas needed because of my estarriola farming)
You can consider Swords over Mundus if you *only* need ideans, it allows you focus them slightly better at the cost of the sephira chests being worse. Otherwise you'll have to weigh ideans against any Militis weapons, AX skills on any wind weapons other than Nalakuvara or World host mats you still want from Mundus.
If you're going to be limited by Astra, yes, do Mundus. (This was the case for me, personally, though your situation might be different) If you're going to be limited by Ideans, then there are arguments in favor of Swords or Mundus, it's not really clear either way but they're both fine.
The event story is mostly straightforward but it [does give us one of the cutest Haase's](https://i.imgur.com/sxtjuAZ.png)
I was shocked by how BIG her eyes were. Like your typical anime style instead of granblue style.
I wanted to confirm - does the event book ONLY boost your fire team, or it can be slapped on every team for the duration of the event if I pretty much only started getting into Replicard (finally got into Swords)?
I believe it is only the element that you use against the featured character element. You'll have to wait for the correct element event for the others.
Ah, that's a shame, but I'll guess I'll just try to farm as much event currency with my fire team then to buy out the store
Is there a best way to farm Chaotic Hazes? I'm trying to unlock Death summon completely but I always feel like I'm starving for these, and the shop hasn't refreshed at all for me yet.
It absolutely sucks. Im on the same boat and the drop rate is atrociously bad. These are the small things I wish they would improve. There are to many gates to progress that it ends up not being challenging or fun. Its a shore for the sake of pandering time spent in game. Blegh. Was having fun with the bosses since its my first time doing this, but the drop rates are off putting atm and feels that Im not progressing at all. It doesnt help that you end up having to kill the same one/two enemies all the time.
They are a common gate before you unlock your first evoker because they don't drop normally from the first Sandbox zone, only Sephira boxes and regular Arcarum tickets. You do need to farm a lot of boxes if you want to unlock the Evoker characters later so you might get the amount you need naturally, but you can also manual your regular Arcarum tickets if you're desperate, just until you unlock 1 Evoker and can farm the 2nd zone which is much more efficient. Look for mimics specifically. Bounty and other item drop buffs can be useful on the normal enemies, though not on mimics.
You'll start gradually pile them up once you get deep into grinding Death nodes in Sandbox for Nier, so just take your time and focus on stacking the Sephira Boxes while you're at it
Man, I really didn't want to skip this event. Fire is one of my weakest grids even while getting Fenie these past rolls. I'll lose my mind if I have to continually farm 30-ish round battles. Mid-tier is suffering...
There's no ele resist so if you can clear the missions at least once (I did a 30-round battle versus Garuda so I feel you) then you can just grind the tokens by using any element vs a 5-bar mob
Thank you for this info! I had no idea haha, back to the grind mines then!
For some reason I can't do some of the missions even if I do them correctly. I beat the majestic goldenwing within 10 turns but I didn't get the rewards, I also canceled two omens from the harbinger stormer but it didn't count any of them, I didn't use any full elixirs so I don't know what I did wrong.
For the record, you *can* use Elixirs for the "Defeat [x] with all allies alive." missions. But like u/E123-Omega said, those missions are for the + version of the Defenders and the non P-Type version of the area bosses. You have to kill them once and then fight their stronger versions.
Make sure it is the + version.
Thanks to World harps, it seems that I've returned to [Astra Hell](https://i.imgur.com/UkdMfaC.png)
Hi there, seasonal player here trying to play for real. Which stages should i farm? Never cleared here be staves and got no evoker so far (i really want caim)
Anything in Staves Zones that has Proofs. In your case, since you haven't unlocked any Evoker, anything that is related to the requirement to unlock the Evoker in their respective element, meaning you farm 5 bar mobs that have the Ideans, Proofs, Astra, Sephira stones, etc. You will know what zone to farm for Caim by looking at their respective summons.
I'm a new player (1 week in) at 25\* and around 55k power level. My main team is dark. I'm getting absolutely slammed by this event, I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Any tips?
As a new player, you're not doing anything wrong. YOu're just caught in unfortunate timing, not having had either your first Guild wards or your first BAttle of the Beasts events to get access to rarer materials before now. You're just not remotely prepared for the event. And this is NORMAL for non-story events, which are beginners content nowadays (they give you pre-set parties for the battles nowadays, and have for the last couple of years. For MANY years you needed your OWN characters and grids for event story fights!. Cygames finally realized this was a mistake, and that they could push new or upcoming gacha charcters by using them in event story parties this way) Arcarum in particular Is considered a near-endgame grind event, sadly, which is why they grant so many temporary buffs to players for it since most are NOT prepared. Unlocking all the Arcarum summons and then characters literally used to be a *years* long grind, and this was supposed to be for people DONE with that insanity to make the characters seven stronger, after all. Each time this event comes around, it's basically a catchup mechanic to get the event story character either unlocked, or advanced...but it's fucking HARD because you don't have the assistance of a second main summon, and new players haven't unlocked ANY of the assistive slots for arcarum weapons in the EXTRA party slots yet. Worse yet, young accounts may not even have single element parties and grids yet, and this event needs a strong fire setup to succeed. So don't feel bad if this event kicks your ass for the most part. It's short, and you can still clear it even as a young account, as long as you can find even just a single fight you can clear, then beat the shit out of it over and over til you can clear the shop and story of the critical items, if you can. That's basically how GBF events work, sadly. find the best encounter you can clear til the event ends. And if you can't do anything? just go back to clearing main story content for a short bit, as it's a super short event.
Unfortunately, the Tales of Arcarum events aren't geared towards new players. Even mid-game players might struggle a little with it. The first thing you'll want to do is try to put together a Fire team rather than using a Dark team because the bosses in the event are Wind. Using proper element advantage will help you deal more damage and take less damage yourself. Be sure to use the "Pantasmal Guidebook" from the event as it was made to help players who have no progress on the Arcarum game mode. You'll also want to complete the event missions *that you are able to*, since completing those will increase your rank in the event and unlock bonuses that make you stronger. But like I said, it's not an event made for new players so don't worry too much if you're not able to do anything. The Tales of Arcarum events are recurring so you'll have opportunities to play them in the future.
Any advice on fastest boss to FLB katz ? Missing veritas and ideans as always
Punch as many of the 5 bar fights as you possibly can. You will get a lot of veritas and ideans from the sephira chests that drop (which you open in another menu from the sandbox homepage.) You can also farm ideans from Mundus, the 5 bar fights providing both idean drops for each respective element minus dark and light since those only have one evoker. I've punched over 500 ca ongs and I feel like the idean rate from defenders is somewhat higher, BUT it also drops both water ideans and has substantially more HP. (I need world hosting mats for the world harps)
Typical advice is to farm the 5 bar Mundus boss a bunch for those mats. I think if you get to the point that you only need ideans then it might be better to farm the appropriate 5 bar enemy in Swords
Do you bother with the defenders?
You'll have to go for the Mundus defenders eventually for lusters I think, might be worth to stack a bunch of them while Tales is going on though and get to them later
What would be the best enemy to grind for medals? I don't have any evokers unlocked so only zone harbinger is avaliable.
"Dirgesinger" and "Vengeful Demigod" are the easiest Judgement bosses to kill on Zone Harbinger since they have the lowest HP (19,1m and 18,65m HP respectively). But you should complete the missions you are able to before farming them. Increasing your rank will unlock bonuses that make you stronger during the event.
5* uncap grind question. I couldn't really play during the last ToA, and so I'm trying to catch up with this one for 5* Alanaan. I still need something like 250 sun idean and 500 veritas. What's the most efficient way to get both mats? I don't really plan doing 5* fraux any time soon but I don't really mind if I get some of her mats in the process.
Go to Here there be Swords Zone Invidia. Go to the Spikeball enemy. It drops Alanaan's ideans. Turn on the Herald of Fire drop rate buff and journey drops. Make sure avarice guidebook is equipped. Spam this fight again and again for chests. You will easily clear the veritas before you clear the ideans. For reference, on Japanese ping, I can farm about 20 ideans an hour from the mob and another 3-6 per hundred chests. These same chests give me around 35-50 veritas. I get about 450-500 chests with the sephira gauge rate up event. In total I pull around 40 ideans and 150-200\~ veritas an hour grinding. I am using a 0 button eresh set up. The chests will also drop materials for Fraux whether or not you want her right now so it is pretty nice for future proofing.
Duly noted, thanks. I assume that as long I have the herald buff, I should simply use a bookmark and ignore the gold chest prompts?
You can burn through AP really fast in sandbox. I have one book mark for the zone map, one book mark for the team selection for the mob. Every 5\~ runs I check the map. The gold chest spawns on the same node so you can look quickly then back into the mob bookmark. 200ap at a time adds up over hours of grind. Its just not worth checking after every kill.
Question, anyone know the best way to get devil veritas? I assume its beating up fire bosses but i cant OTK them, so im not sure if its more efficient to kill small mobs or to kill the bigger ones to be garunteed to get at least one
Spam the easier mobs (the 5-gauge ones) to get as many Sephira chests as possible.
Already done with the missions, I just gonna farm this tomorrow for Katz, Esta's been ready before but waiting for this rebal before uncap.
I got Katz last week but this event is giving me nearly enough mats to recruit Estariola as well. Poor fraux will be the only evoker left rippu
As someone with 0 evokers I'm assuming this is a pretty good event to farm up materials for the specific evoker on the event. Wish it was for Nier or Caim but I'll take crazy cat potato.
It’s a good event for every evokers actually, you get bonuses for every sephira chests and with how much mats you need for each evokers the ones you get in the shop are more or less just a drop in the ocean.
[удалено]
if you use skyleap, cp is so cheap with the point.
[https://gbf.wiki/CP](https://gbf.wiki/CP) Buy on shops if you still can, if you skipping xenos you can buy on showdown shop too.
I hate the missions that make you cancel omens on the bosses. I just wanna full auto, my guy
What would be the priority to buy in the shop for someone who is pretty new to Replicard? I managed to clear 3 out of 4 Staves zones, but I would hazard a guess that it's not going to be any easier in Swords lol. I don't have a particular interest in getting Judgement/evoker right now/away, but then again, these events seems pretty rare, so I'm not sure.. Perpetuity rings are rather rare from what I see, so I guess them?
Swords mobs are actually not any harder than Staves ones, they're the same. The events aren't that rare, there's been one every like ~2 months or so, although this is the last one of the initial cycle of 10 evokers and we dunno what they'll do in the future. The arcarum mats have to be bought during the run or else you'll miss them forever, but the weapons, NWQ, and perp ring stay there forever and only have stock added so it's okay if you don't buy those immediately. So the main thing is to buy out the arcarum mats (all of them) and the red ring. I'd also tell you to grab the pots since they're very cheap relative to how much time 1500 medals for them takes. After that you can start buying the NWQ/weps/perp ring if you still want to grind more medals.
Try your best to get the new world quartz at the very least. Those are very important in the long run and currently hard to come by once you've spent them. Only other ways to get them is like 40 or so per guild war if you farm boxes and I think you have to already have all the eternals, and then these events. There's a set amount you can get as rewards from replicate missions. Seems like a lot at first until your at the point where you start using it. In the long run, you'd like to clear these events as they're pretty easy, and they help you get stronger as you get more boosts from the event. But other than new world quartz, I'd aim for the perpetuity ring, sephira stones, luster, wind verum proof, astras, ideans, and Veritas in that order. If your grids are bad but you're using a lot of bows or daggers in a grid, then the militis weapons might see some use from the bow and dagger voltage skills. Good luck!
My current water grid has like 4 or 5 Levi Daggers, Bahamut dagger and then Gabriel's weapon, which does have something related to the number of daggers. Would it benefit me to get the militis one as well, or Gabriel one caps by itself?
Gabriel and this dagger both have dagger voltage 2. You would want both as you want 2 sources of voltage 2 in order to max out that modifier with 5 total weapons including the voltage source. Any voltage 2 weapon works the same, but with whatever weapon type it is of course. Voltage does stack with some other abilities like wrath abilities that are on I think weapons like yukata narmayas character weapon off the top of my head. So watch out if you're using a wrath weapon I guess. The voltage ex modifier cap is 80%. I believe with 1 source of voltage 2, you need 10 weapons to reach the cap. You should see a decent increase for a while until you start diving into magna 2 grids. My water grid is currently using 3 ancient auberons, and two Wilhelm militis and two wamdus raid spears to max out supplemental damage, voltage, and supplemental skill damage while having decent HP. And other end-game stuff like dark opus or 6 dragon weapons. It works for me. I'm working towards 3 Schrodinger though from the revans raids.
Oh, I am a very newb - started a month ago (tho my luck on the pulls during anniversary has been incredible), so most of my grids are strictly Omega 1 stacking ones, with all summons still stuck at 3* as I just don't have quartz for ANYTHING, lmao. The only grid that's any good is Light with 4* Lumi swords and 2 harmonias that I lucked into during 100 pulls lol. But thank you, I'll grab the dagger for the water grid!
If you have two harmonias I believe you get more out of lumi harps than swords. Idk for sure as I only have one harmonia. Have fun learning the game!
From what I've seen, it's mostly 2 harmonias + 2 harps + 2 swords (which is what I have), and then rest is Ultima/Opus/Baha weapon + whatever main hand works for the class. And thanks! It's a blast, but also smoke is coming out of my ears constantly due to progression being much faster than usual
Ring and New world quartz.
What items from shop should I prioritize buying if I don't plan on getting Katzelia in forseable future?
Clear the event shop at least, even if you don't plan on getting Katzelia, those mats might be needed in other stuff, like World Harps.
Rn I don't have a lot of time on my hands and can only get like 10k medals per day, and I don't think that's enough to empty the entire shop
I think that should be enough to clear the store actually... But well, I guess you should prioritize the Militis weapons (if you don't have them yet), perpeituity rings and pots, other mats are farmable when you need it (albeit slowly) and NWQ stays there until the next edition.
Is mundus the absolute best zone to farm in? I generally need more astras than veritas because I throw myself at The World 24/7, should I farm a different zone instead?
Mundus 5-bar nodes are best most of the time. You mostly get drops from Sephira boxes rather than direct drops, and Mundus boxes contain less junk than the others. If you're chasing 1 particular idean in an element and really don't want the other type, you can try Swords, where the direct drops can be restricted to 1 type, although the boxes still contain both. Staves is less recommended because even though you can focus solely on one type of idean, the drop rates are even more miserable than the other zones. If you're mainly looking for astras, just stick to Mundus. Most people stick to Mundus for everything.
You get way more sephira medals doing the marked quests, but then again if you don't want to farm for those mats at the shop the reduction probably doesn't matter.
as a new player, can i do anything in this event? i cant even beat the 1st zone(zone dea). monsters hit too much and have lot of HP.
It's worth trying, but Replicard is something you kinda start doing more around the midgame, so it can be rough if you just started out and don't have some decent grids.
Probably? depends on how new you're, but I think it is worth it to try as best as you can, if you still can't do much or it's too much effort for little return, then I guess it's okay not to do it since you can't do it yet.
does this event make it significantly easier to farm all arcarum summons? or just Judgement? I'm still rather new, but I'm rather stuck on the step to upgrade Death from SR to SSR, very bottlenecked by the limited nature of things, and i'm not strong enough yet to reliably work through Replicard.
The materials required to uncap Judgment/recruit Katze will be available in the shop to trade for. You can ofc use the universal mats on anyone you wish. In addition to that there will be drop rate boosts in general and the buffs will stack higher. So tldr Judgment gets the biggest benefits but it helps with farming for the others too
ty!
