Introduction
- Free Quests during this Event follow the usual rule where later Free Quests generally have better drop rates than earlier quests.
- There are three event currencies (
), whose rates are boosted by the gacha Event CEs (
). - An additional lottery currency (
) drops from all nodes, and is used to open lottery boxes. The Event Shop CE (
) will boost drops for the lottery currency. - Note the shop only will have 4 copies of this CE, so a fifth copy can only be obtained through drops. It is better not to MLB this CE right away since the drop bonus for 5 separate copies is +5, while the bonus for only a single MLB copy is only +2.
- The Lottery for this event is unlimited! As a Lottery Event, this is one of the best opportunities to use AP Fruit, given it presents an opportunity to farm for Gems, EXP, Mana Prisms, Friend Points, QP, and select Ascension Materials (
) all at the same time. - Note the "Christmas Rescue" Free Quest does not cost AP, and instead costs 5x
First Aid Kits. - Attempting this quest once for the Summon Ticket clear reward is worthwhile, although additional runs are not recommended since First Aid Kits can be redeemed for 500k QP after the event (meaning the quest costs 2.5M QP to attempt each time). Given the quest does not drop lottery currency (only Gold shop currency), there is an average slight QP loss per run.
- For single-shop currency farming, Yellow Tag (Bronze), Red Tag (Silver), and White Tag (Gold) are the best options. The best Lottery currency farming node is Gold Tag.
- Generally, first clear out the Event Shop as desired before focusing on clearing the Gold Tag Free Quest for as many lottery boxes as desired.
- Event Bonus Servants provide a damage bonus as well as bonus bond EXP, so bringing them can help expedite the farming process.

Ascension Mat Farming Comparison Table (Free Quests)
- For this event, none of the Event Quests have an Ascension Material whose drop rates are better than existing Free Quests available from Singularity/Lostbelt Free Quest farming, at least in isolation.
- The table below summarizes material drop rates in comparison to campaign free quest farming locations.
- APD = AP per drop, where less AP required per drop is better.
