WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Assignments menu on the Astral Express.

Assignments dispatch eligible characters to tasks with listed rewards. This is a passive production loop rather than an immediate battle: choose a task whose preview matches a material need, wait for its displayed duration, collect the output, and dispatch again if that category remains useful. The menu determines the actual reward, so use its task preview rather than guessing from a task’s name. Apply collected items to planned character or Light Cone upgrades where they are eligible.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Unlock Assignments.
  • Have eligible characters available for dispatch.
  • Choose a task whose reward matches a planned upgrade need.
  1. Open Assignments and review the available tasks and their reward previews.
  2. Select a task listing the enemy drop or EXP material category you need.
  3. Assign the required characters and check that they are available for dispatch.
  4. Confirm the task and allow its displayed duration to pass.
  5. Return after completion and collect the listed materials.
  6. Check your inventory and planned upgrades to decide whether to repeat or change tasks.
  7. Use the collected materials on eligible character or Light Cone upgrades when needed.

Farming tips

  • Read the reward preview before dispatch; tasks provide different listed categories.
  • Collect and restart a useful task as part of a regular login routine.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeatable dispatch loop while tasks remain available. Each dispatch takes the duration shown in game; collect the reward after completion.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing by task name alone: verify the reward preview matches your target category.
  • Expecting an instant claim: wait for the displayed duration before collecting.
  • Forgetting to relaunch: after collection, dispatch again if the material remains useful.

When to stop or switch

Stop dispatching for a category when it covers planned upgrades or another task offers more useful output.
