I was surprised that a lot of people are still
asking me to cover the most efficient ways to farm Fortitude Crystals. I can't blame you
guys since these materials are in high demand, for both beginners and endgame players.
I am that Samurai and in this video, I will be sharing my personal party setup,
practices, and best farming spots so you can easily stockpile Fortitude Crystals efficiently
and get your shiny weapons maxed in no time.
Suggested Setup
Now that is out of the way, let's tackle team composition first. Let's
start with a few reminders. Anyone should have already reached the endgame before
farming for fortitude crystals or at least have one character built up with at least maxed
ascension weapons at least before participating in these activities especially when joining Online
Sessions and I will be diving into this later.
The stronger your general team or main character
is, of course, the more your runs will be efficient and faster overall. I will be providing
auto and manual farming methods in this guide, so you can play with these methods, and
apply them depending on your needs.
Now for my setup, my main is none other than
Narmaya, as for the other party members, Eugen is nonnegotiable due to his
top-notch AI and powerhouse DPS. Along with Cagliostro equipped with
the majority of her offensive skills. Lastly would be Rackam and Djeeta for
Extreme to Proud Difficulty Farming.
Of course, I am not telling you that you need
to have these setups before farming and I am just simply sharing the idea so you will have a
goal to work on when optimizing your runs later in the game. Just work with what you have in
terms of general team composition or have one decently built main if participating
online just like what I mentioned.
Narmaya can be changed later on with Percival
or Rosetta since these two are both better in terms of AI. Also, all of my endgame equipment
and skills have been posted on the screen now. Pause the video if you need to inspect them.
Still not the best in terms of equipment but these are working well so far.
Fortitude Crystal Farming Spots
With the party setup out of the way, time for
the farming spots. As I have mentioned earlier, the spots and methods vary between manual
and auto farming so you will have options depending on your needs. Let's start with
the spots when reaching the early endgame.
Shedding Light on a Pillar - Extreme Quest
Can easily be auto-farmed by beginners if unable to play the game.
So the first spot on the list is the Extreme Quest Shedding Light on the Pillar.
I have also suggested this in one of my previous videos where Shedding Light on a Pillar can
easily be auto or manual-farmed since enemies will come at you and the crystal that you are
defending just needs to survive in 4 minutes.
This is a perfect spot for auto farming,
especially if you are in downtime or you are pre-occupied. This spot can also work well for
beginner setups and just make sure that Rackam is the character that you are controlling. This
quest provides a handful of Fortitude Crystals ranging from 6 to 8 Fortitude Large Crystals
and 62 pieces of the Medium ones. Results vary a little bit but those are ballpark.
Absolutely No Trespassers! - Very Hard Quest
Beginner-friendly, and easy to
complete. Do this quest only if you are at the mid to early endgame.
The next two quests on the list are just quests that you can spam when reaching mid
to early endgame. Accessible to beginners and easy to complete. Note that it is
advisable to run the next two quests if you are at mid to endgame only since there are
better farming spots at super late game.
The first one would be the Very Hard Quest
Absolutely No Trespassers. Players will be progressing on a straightforward dungeon-like
level where they will be fighting hordes of enemies. Very easy to complete. I am
not going to tackle the clear time here since it was designed for beginners.
A usual run provides 3 Fortitude Large Crystals and 21 pieces of the Medium Crystals.
Great Goblins of Fire - Extreme Quest
Beginner-friendly, and easy to
complete. Do this quest only if you are at the mid to early endgame.
Moving on to the next one which is the Extreme Quest, Great Goblins of Fire. You will also be
dealing with hordes of enemies in this quest which works identically to the previous quest. Very
easy to complete and pretty straightforward.
Each run for this quest usually nets 10
Fortitude Large Crystals, 34 Medium ones, and lastly, 10 to 16 Small Crystals.
It is worth noting that the last two quests can't be auto and are mainly for emergency needs
only and I don't suggest staying in this quest too long as I have mentioned.
Roost and Reign - Maniac Quest
Manual farming, this quest
is the best spot overall.
The next quest on the list is the best
spot overall as this quest can be completed relatively quickly despite having two Griffin
Bosses at the end of the quest. At this point, you are likely working on your first
Ascension Weapon so I highly suggest running Online Sessions with other players.
Since the majority of the players nowadays are pretty much maxed so, runs will be much
smoother and faster even if you are required to deal with two bosses simultaneously.
Each run lasts around 1:30 Seconds and can be faster if you manage to party
with multiple Eugens and Rackams, or even characters that can use crowd-control
skills. Fortitude Crystals Rewards range from 32 Large ones and 4 of the Medium ones.
Revenge of the Hordes - Maniac Quest
Manual farming can be done while playing
solo if you do have high-end gear.
Moving on to the next spot which is still
a Maniac Quest, which is Revenge of the Hordes. You can pretty much do this Online
as well but I tend to do this Solo if I want to play alone or don't want to queue since
matchmaking is kind of not working properly.
But only do these quests if you have a decently
built team since the two Golbins Bosses at the end of the bosses, is pretty much overwhelming
for beginners. My usual runs last around 1:40 to 2:00 minutes plus and usually get around 29
Fortitude Large Crystals and 13 Medium ones.
Other Methods
Now that the main spots are out of the way, it is time for my other
methods of farming Fortitude Crystals.
Rafale Coins Trading Method
I mentioned this a lot in my previous farming videos but it is easy to reach the
999 cap of Rafale Coins and you can easily exchange 999 Rafale coins to Siero for easy
33 Fortitude Crystals. Just incorporate this method in any activities that you engage in
and it is a decent boost to your large ones.
Future Proof Trading Method
Spammable Sidequest especially when farming Curios.
Future Proof Trading Quest in Folca can also still be spammed for
a decent amount of Fortitude Crystals. Each exchange does provide 1 Fortitude
Large Crystal and 3 Medium ones.
I mentioned this method since it is spammable
especially since you can get a lot of Earth Shards from General Investigation Gallanza Extreme
Quest and Fire Shards from the next Hot Topic especially when farming Curios.
Blazing Trial - Proud Quest
Can decently get a healthy amount of Fortitude
Crystal Large while farming for other things.
The next method on the list is the
Blazing Trial farming. You will be getting 5 Fortitude Crystals per run, while
also farming for Damage Cap V+ Sigils, Curios, and more. This quest can be auto or manually
farmed depending on your preference.
Use all of these methods and play with all
the best spots in the game to accumulate tons of Fortitude Crystals in no
time to max your sweet weapons especially when maxing Terminus Weapons.
These are also my personal practices and methods and feel free to play around these techniques and
apply all of them according to your needs. Now if you want to know how the Curio Drop System works
and also know the best farming spots for Curios or learn how to auto farming in general, click the
