Here's a list of locations where you can farm Shards, Crystals and Holy Crystals, used for upgrading a character's attributes from the Attribute Matrix, and for upgrading Weapons, Armors and Accessories as well.
Daily Quests (Extra Quests)
Normally, you can farm them through Daily Quests, but since this event will only occur once a week, then you might want to consider farming them from the Story Mode for now (refer below).
- Monday = Defense
- Tuesday = Attack
- Wednesday = MP
- Thursday = HP
- Friday = Skill
- Saturday = Critical
- Sunday = Col (Farm to get Rich Quick!)
Guaranteed Drops!
- The list below shows all the items that will always drop per run.- NOTE: Items will get a higher count after battle because sometimes you will also get other similar random items (and will stack together), or even get an item listed below twice.
Non-Highlighted Item Drops
- These are additional guaranteed drops that you can also get along with the highlighted Shards, Crystals, and Holy Crystals.- Example: Defense/HP Crystal x1 = Means you can also get a guaranteed Defense Crystal x1 along with the HP Crystal x1.
