WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Gerlinde’s shop at Skyrest Bridge, once she is available there.
This method combines ordinary enemy drops with careful selling. Choose a Vestige route you already know, such as the early Chabui circuit, clear enemies whose fights are manageable, and collect both Vigor and equipment. At Skyrest, keep drops that fit your build and sell the genuine spares to Gerlinde. Use the result for a level or the Deralium tier your primary weapon actually needs; neither Vigor nor gear drops have a fixed per-run value.
Activate a Vestige near enemies you can defeat safely and reset.
Reach Gerlinde at Skyrest Bridge and have access to her sell interface.
Have a current build and primary weapon in mind so equipment can be judged before sale.
Rest at the nearby Vestige to restore resources and reset the standard enemies.
Clear the compact route around the checkpoint, keeping the return path open.
Collect Vigor and any weapon or armor drops as you go.
Return to the Vestige when healing is low or you have collected enough for a useful level; spend Vigor if appropriate.
Travel to Skyrest Bridge and compare each equipment drop with your build before deciding to keep or sell it.
Sell only genuine spares to Gerlinde and combine the proceeds with other Vigor you have safely carried back.
Check your primary weapon’s next upgrade requirement, then buy or use the matching Deralium tier if available.
Farming tips
Separate Vigor for levels from Vigor for materials before shopping, especially if your character still needs levels to survive.
Keep useful resistance armor and alternate weapons even when they are not your current loadout.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable while nearby standard enemies respawn after resting. Equipment and Vigor amounts vary; each sold item is gone.
Common mistakes
Selling everything after one sweep: compare drops with your stats and resistance needs.
Farming far from a checkpoint for extra equipment: keep the circuit close enough to return safely.
Buying material without checking the forge tier: inspect the intended weapon’s next upgrade first.
When to stop or switch
Switch back to story progression when the circuit becomes slow, you have the desired level or upgrade materials, or its drops no longer improve your build.
