Character and gear progression
Use a Moonstone route before repeated Grinds
Building currency first lets you choose special Grinder attempts without draining resources needed elsewhere.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Use a Moonstone route before repeated Grinds
Iwajira’s cave in Serenity’s Waste and Janey Springs’ Grinder in Concordia.
Before you go
- Unlock access to Serenity’s Waste and Iwajira’s cave.
- Unlock the Grinder by completing Grinders in Concordia.
- Know whether the next priority is an upgrade, Moonstone chest, or special Grind.
Farming steps
- Check your current Moonstone balance and decide what it needs to cover.
- Travel to Serenity’s Waste and defeat Iwajira.
- Collect the Moonstones and useful drops from the arena.
- Save and quit, reload, and return to the boss if you still need currency.
- Stop farming when the reserve covers your planned spend.
- Return to Concordia and sort expendable items into a valid recipe.
- Choose Moonstone Grind only after checking its cost and confirming the inputs are safe to consume.
- Inspect the output and update your reserve before deciding on another attempt.
- Set aside currency for a priority upgrade before spending on optional Luneshine attempts.
- Iwajira has other loot potential, so check drops while farming currency rather than discarding everything automatically.
Repeat, collect and use
Iwajira can be reset repeatedly; Grinder attempts are repeatable only while you have Moonstones and expendable valid inputs. Amounts and results vary.
Common mistakes
- Grinding before choosing a budget can consume currency meant for an upgrade; check balance and priorities first.
- Counting on a fixed Moonstone amount per kill can misstate how many runs you need; use the collected balance.
- Using valuable inputs for a speculative result risks losing useful gear; only process expendable items.
When to stop or switch
Stop the currency loop when your planned spend and reserve are covered, then switch back to campaign or another gear goal.
