WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Use a city Guardian Raid Entry Bulletin Board or the Content List in the UI to choose an eligible Guardian.
Guardian Raids offer a daily boss encounter with accessories, honing materials, ability stones, cards, runes and other possible rewards. You can collect Guardian’s Will once per day, regardless of raid level, and must choose to collect before entering. Match a Guardian to your item level, prepare for its mechanics, and finish the hunt before the timer runs out.
Complete the Guardian Raid Qualifications Certificate quest.
Meet the selected Guardian’s item-level requirement.
Select Guardian’s Will collection before entering.
Open the Guardian Raid interface and review the item-level requirement and available reward collection status.
Choose a Guardian suited to your gear and read its mechanics before starting.
Prepare equipment, skills and battle items at the Battle Workshop near the entrance.
Enter the raid and search the Guardian’s habitat; use a Flare if it relocates and your party needs help finding it.
Watch for counter, stagger and weak-point opportunities while avoiding attacks.
Defeat the Guardian within the 20-minute limit.
Collect Guardian’s Will and inspect the reward drops.
Farming tips
A Guardian’s health and destruction or stagger requirements scale with party size; plan your group accordingly.
If you select Will collection but fail to gather it after the kill, it still uses that day’s collection.
Repeat, collect and use
One Guardian’s Will collection is available per day. Unused completion opportunities accrue Rest Bonus; 20 or more points grant an extra Will on a later clear.
Common mistakes
Entering before selecting Will collection can forfeit the daily reward opportunity; verify the status at the board.
Leaving early applies Guardian’s Curse and temporarily blocks another raid; finish the attempt or avoid entering unprepared.
Assuming standard status effects work on Guardians is unreliable; use counters, stagger and weak-point mechanics.
When to stop or switch
Stop after collecting the daily Will, or switch to another progression activity if the next Guardian is above your item level.
