Arcarum and Replicard Sandbox
Zone Mundus five-gauge farming
Use five-gauge encounters in Zone Mundus as a broad source of Arcarum materials including Astras, Ideans, and Sephira Stones.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Zone Mundus five-gauge farming
Arcarum: The World Beyond > Replicard Sandbox > Zone Mundus five-gauge enemy nodes.
Before you go
- Clear Chapter 30’s Inchoate World free quest to unlock Arcarum: The World Beyond.
- Unlock Replicard Sandbox and reach Zone Mundus.
- Choose the Astra, Idean, or Sephira Stone needed for a named upgrade.
Farming steps
- Open Zone Mundus and review the available five-gauge encounters.
- Use each node’s information or drop preview to identify its material pool.
- Select a node that includes the Astra, Idean, or Sephira Stone you need.
- Spend AP to enter and clear the encounter.
- Collect the battle and chest rewards, then check your inventory totals.
- Repeat the same node while its pool still supports the target.
- Return to the upgrade menu and confirm whether the collected stock is enough.
- Mundus pools can spread tetra-element Ideans; Here Be Swords is a more focused choice for a single one.
- Save the target upgrade’s material requirements in mind so you do not keep farming after reaching the threshold.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable while you have AP and the node remains available; drops vary and no specific material is guaranteed from each clear.
Common mistakes
- Choosing by zone name alone: inspect the node pool before using AP.
- Farming Mundus for one tetra-element Idean without checking focused alternatives: compare Here Be Swords first.
- Continuing after the target stock is sufficient: check the upgrade menu and switch farms.
When to stop or switch
Stop once the intended Arcarum or associated upgrade has enough materials, or switch to a node with a more concentrated pool.
