Where To Start
Before getting into the meat of this event, here’s a list of things you should do and prioritize!:
- Clear all event quests on Normal / Hard / Very Hard / EX Hard once each.
- Begin referring to the Event Exchange Table to best prioritize which items you plan to clear from the Event Exchange. If you are stuck on what to work towards, just follow the table from left to right, top to bottom in order, as all event exchange items have already been ordered from highest to lowest priority.
Maximizing Event Progress
There are no resonant weapons for this event. Carry on!
Quest Farming
For quest difficulties below EX Hard:
General rule of thumb based on previous event medal drop rates:
+10 or fewer medal bonus: farm Very Hard Quest #9.
+16 or greater medal bonus: farm Normal Quest #3.
For quest difficulties at EX Hard:
At the EX Hard difficulty - stamina cost is the same for all quests, so it’s generally recommended to farm the highest force quest your loadout can consistently clear given that Silver and Gold Medal rewards gradually increase across higher force quests. Additionally, despite what resonant weapons you may have equipped, Silver Medals only begin to drop at Quest 2 and later, with Gold Medals only beginning to drop at Quest 4 and later. Take note that the Bronze Medal base drop rate remains consistent:
EX Hard Medal - Base Drop Rate | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Quest (Suggested Force) |  |  |  |  |
Quest 1 (120k) | ≈ 66 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Quest 2 (150k) | 5 | 0 | 3 | |
Quest 3 (180k) | 10 | 0 | 5 | |
Quest 4 (220k) | 15 | 5 | 7 | |
Quest 5 (250k) | 20 | 10 | 10 | |
