Moonstone grinding spends currency to improve the rarity outcome and can add a Luneshine effect.

PC / Global, base game and released DLC
WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

The Grinder in Janey Springs’ Concordia workshop.

Choose the Moonstone option at the Concordia Grinder when you have eligible gear inputs and want the special Grind benefits. It consumes Moonstones as well as the three items. The resulting item follows the applicable recipe and rarity rules, while Luneshine is a chance rather than a guaranteed bonus. This is a processing choice, not a way to secure a named item.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Complete the Grinders mission to unlock the Grinder.
  • Bring three compatible items for the recipe you want.
  • Have Moonstones available for the special Grind.
  • Be willing to consume the input items even if the result is not useful.
  1. Travel to Concordia and open the Grinder interface.
  2. Select a recipe-compatible set of three items from your inventory.
  3. Confirm the items match the category and rarity combination you intend to process.
  4. Choose Moonstone Grind in the interface and review its cost.
  5. Proceed only if the Moonstone expense and input loss are acceptable.
  6. Collect the result and inspect its rarity, level, and any Luneshine effect.
  7. Keep it if it serves your build; otherwise reserve future inputs for a better attempt.

Farming tips

  • Save Moonstone grinding for gear you are prepared to lose and for goals where Luneshine is worth the currency.
  • Use the machine’s displayed result and cost as the final check before confirming.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeatable when you have more valid inputs and Moonstones. Each attempt consumes both; Luneshine is not assured.

Common mistakes

  • Treating Luneshine as guaranteed can waste currency; regard it as a possible bonus.
  • Using mismatched or valuable inputs risks a result that does not suit the goal; verify eligibility and input value.
  • Spending the full Moonstone balance leaves no room for upgrades or other uses; keep a reserve if needed.

When to stop or switch

Stop when you obtain a result that improves your equipment or when further attempts cost more than the potential upgrade is worth.
