Revival: Christmas 2021 - Quick Farming Guide

Submit Feedback or Error

Introduction

  • Free Quests during this Event follow the usual rule where later Free Quests generally have better drop rates than earlier quests. The rerun also adds a new difficulty, "Platinum Tag", which has much better drop rates overall compared to the original quests.
  • There are three event currencies (Sincerity PillowService ThermometerCharity Bandage), whose rates are boosted by the gacha Event CEs (Maiden's LuncheonWish DeliverymenWith My Family).
  • An additional lottery currency (Holy Night Bandage) drops from all nodes, and is used to open lottery boxes. The Event Shop CE (Christmas Locus) 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 max 10 boxes only, since it is a rerun. Clearing all the boxes is recommended since they provide a mix of Ascension Materials, QP, FP, Skill Gems, and EXP all at very decent AP return.
  • Note the "Christmas Rescue" Free Quest does not cost AP, and instead costs 5x First Aid Kit of Wishes 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.
  • The best overall farming node is Platinum Tag (drops all three currencies + lottery currency). The older nodes are still decent for single-shop currency farming, although they aren't as AP effective as Platinum Tag.
  • Generally, run each Free Quest at least once for the clear reward, before concentrating on farming Platinum Tag for clearing Lottery Boxes and the Event Shop.
  • 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.
