WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Mission reward screen after a repeatable hunt that lists Abandoned God Arcs.
Aficionado improves the chance of receiving better-quality Abandoned God Arcs. It is a quality-focused complement to a repeatable Arc farm, not a guarantee of a rare drop or a particular skill. Run it on missions that already award Arcs, then inspect the results and retain only useful skills.
Install Aficionado on a God Arc and confirm its active level.
Unlock a mission that awards Abandoned God Arcs.
Have a target part or skill purpose in mind for evaluating drops.
Equip Aficionado before leaving the hub.
Choose a repeatable mission with Arc rewards and a clear you can complete consistently.
Check the mission’s conditions and reward list before launch.
Complete the hunt and claim the results.
Review the quality of each Abandoned God Arc rather than judging only by count.
Inspect the listed skill and check whether it fits the melee, gun, shield, or applicable slot you intend to use.
Keep promising Arcs and continue the mission loop if the desired skill or quality has not appeared.
Farming tips
Aficionado affects the chance of better Arc quality; it does not make every reward rare.
Pair it with a mission you can clear often, since more attempts are useful when rewards are random.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat as long as you need better-quality Arc candidates. This is an ongoing random reward farm, not a one-time unlock.
Common mistakes
Assuming Aficionado guarantees a rare Arc: treat it as an improved chance and evaluate actual results.
Farming a mission without Arc rewards: verify the reward list first.
Keeping an Arc based on rarity alone: check whether its skill is compatible and useful.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have suitable skills at the quality you need for your current build; switch to Arc Finder or a faster mission if the number of attempts matters more than quality.
