WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Outpost Defense claims and character leveling menu.

Core Dust is a recurring leveling cost, with key costs appearing at ten-level breakpoints. Outpost Defense produces it passively, while other progression activities can also provide materials. Checking the next Nikke level cost before spending keeps your account ready for a meaningful level increase instead of scattering scarce dust across minor upgrades.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

Have a Nikke approaching a ten-level breakpoint.
Have access to Outpost Defense stock or other Core Dust rewards.

Open the Nikke leveling screen and inspect the next target level’s displayed costs.
Identify whether Core Dust is the limiting material at the next ten-level breakpoint.
Collect available Outpost Defense stock and other earned Core Dust.
Reserve enough for the planned level before spending on secondary upgrades.
Level the selected Nikke when all required resources are available.
Recheck the roster’s next breakpoint and repeat the reserve plan.

Farming tips

Outpost production depends on Campaign progress, so pushing stages improves future Core Dust supply.
Use the in-game level cost as the authority for your account; costs vary with the target level.

Repeat, collect and use

This is a recurring resource management loop: collect Core Dust, reserve for the next desired level breakpoint, and repeat as new levels become available.

Common mistakes

Spending Core Dust without checking upcoming level costs; review the next breakpoint first.
Assuming every unit should be leveled equally; focus the units used through Synchro Device and your active team.
Waiting for Outpost alone; collect Core Dust from other available progression rewards as well.
