Runes and hero growth
Special side story shop
Exchange temporary event currency for selected catalysts, artifacts, or other account materials shown in the current shop.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Special side story shop
Battle > Side Story > current Special Side Story stages and exchange shop.
Before you go
- Have a Special Side Story event open in the Global client.
- Unlock the event stage that awards its currency.
- Identify which current shop items support a planned hero or gear goal.
- Have Energy available for stage clears.
Farming steps
- Open the event landing page and review its missions, stage list, and exchange shop.
- Complete accessible event missions that award currency or unlock additional stages.
- Choose a currency stage you can clear reliably and check its reward preview.
- Repeat the stage to collect event currency, claiming the run rewards as they appear.
- Open the event exchange and compare catalysts, artifacts, and other displayed stock against your current account bottlenecks.
- Purchase priority items with the currency, checking the remaining stock and cost before confirming.
- Return to the stage while useful shop stock remains, then make a final sweep before the event closes.
- The shop is temporary and its exact stock changes with the event; use the current in-game list.
- Compare event currency efficiency with routine Unrecorded History farming when deciding where to spend Energy.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat stage clears and purchases only during the event and while useful shop stock remains. The event shop is limited and closes with its event availability.
Common mistakes
- Assuming last event's shop is still current: inspect the active shop before planning purchases.
- Spending all currency on low-priority stock: reserve enough for catalysts or items tied to current goals.
- Leaving currency unspent until closure: check the event end display and buy wanted items before access ends.
When to stop or switch
Stop after the desired stock is bought or the event ends; resume permanent Hunt or AP farming afterward.
