Introduction
- Welcome to the Hanging Gardens! This Event is entirely a farming event, so the Walkthrough and Farming Guide are rolled into one.
- Two versions of the walkthrough are available: One assuming prior Valentine's CEs are available (with at least 5), and another for newcomers without Valentine's CEs. Select the associated tab for the corresponding walkthrough.
x1 will be awarded upon clearing the Main Quest line.- A full list of Chocolate production rewards can be found here.
General Tips
- Although Free Quests rotate on a Phase 1 / 2 / 3 schedule, the Event Drop rates in each phase are essentially the same.
- The only difference among Phases is Ascension Material drops, so Masters may wish to focus their farming on a specific phase with a desirable material. A list of Ascension Materials in each quest are listed in Free Quests At A Glance.
- Always finish buying out 10 of the current Chocolate Manufacturing Facility before purchasing the next one! It is more cost effective this way.
Ex: Buy
(10) before buying 
- Be wary of MLBing
Sweet Days too early. The walkthrough assumes a total of 
+8 drops from Shop CEs after buying all 4.
* This can either be 4x
or
* 1x MLB + 2x + 1x Valentine's CE
--Meaning at least 3 extra drops are necessary to MLB comfortably without losing the recommended drop bonus. 
Surprise Chocolate: Obtained by gathering Chocolate, allows Masters to receive a Valentine's CE from a random Servant. Valentine's CEs also boost drops by +1.
Lock-On Chocolate: Obtained by gathering Chocolate as well, although fewer in number. This item allows Masters to receive a Valentine's CE from their Servant of choice!
