WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Interastral Peace Guide > Survival Index > Calyx (Golden) > Bud of Aether.

Bud of Aether is the Golden Calyx target for Light Cone EXP materials. Claims cost Trailblaze Power and can be repeated, so plan around equipment used by characters on your active teams. Check the Light Cone screen for the next level cost, then use the stage preview to confirm the correct reward before entering. Character EXP comes from Bud of Memories, a different Golden Calyx. Leveling also costs Credits, so check that balance as part of the plan.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

Unlock Calyx (Golden) and have Trailblaze Power available.
Choose a Light Cone whose planned level increase supports an active character.

Open the equipped character’s Light Cone screen and note the intended level target.
In the Survival Index, select Calyx (Golden), then Bud of Aether.
Inspect available previews and select an unlocked stage listing Light Cone EXP items.
Review encounter details and prepare a team that can clear it reliably.
Defeat the waves and spend Trailblaze Power to claim the rewards.
Use the materials on the chosen Light Cone and check its next level cost.
Return to the Calyx only while Light Cone EXP remains a useful bottleneck.

Farming tips

Bud of Memories provides character EXP; confirm Bud of Aether before starting.
Prioritize cones equipped by characters you use instead of leveling unused equipment.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeatable with Trailblaze Power and no weekly claim cap; stage availability follows progression.

Common mistakes

Selecting Bud of Memories by mistake: it levels characters, not Light Cones.
Farming for an unused cone: choose equipment for an active team first.
Ignoring Credits: Light Cone leveling also costs Credits, so check your balance before collecting more EXP.
