WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Choose an eligible Guardian Raid from a city entry board or the Content List UI.
Your first successful completion of a Guardian Raid grants a special chest with additional materials and accessories. This chest is separate from the daily Guardian’s Will collection, so check both reward tracks. Use the entry board to find a Guardian you can access, prepare for its mechanics, and claim the chest after the first clear.
Before you go Meet the selected Guardian’s item-level requirement. Have a Guardian available for a first successful completion on the character. Complete the Guardian Raid Qualifications Certificate quest to unlock entry. Open the Guardian Raid board and identify a Guardian that meets your item level. Read the listed mechanics and prepare equipment, skills and battle items at the Battle Workshop. Decide whether to collect Guardian’s Will before entering; that daily reward is optional and separate. Enter the raid and locate the Guardian in its habitat, using a Flare if it relocates. Counter attacks and use stagger or weak-point opportunities where the fight calls for them. Defeat the Guardian within the timer and check for the first-clear chest. Open the chest and sort its materials or accessories for current progression. Farming tips The first-clear chest is awarded for a first successful completion; it does not replace daily Will collection. Guardian fights allow 20 minutes, and the party has three revives in total. Repeat, collect and use The extra chest is one-time for the relevant first-clear reward. Guardian’s Will follows a separate daily collection limit.
Common mistakes Skipping the reward check can leave the first-clear chest unclaimed; inspect the completion rewards afterward. Assuming the first-clear chest requires daily Will collection is incorrect; the rewards are separate. Picking a Guardian beyond your item level can prevent entry; choose one you qualify for. When to stop or switch Stop after claiming the first-clear chest; continue with daily Guardian hunting only if you still want the Will reward.
