Coins and crafting resources
Earn Investigation Coins
Investigation Coins buy materials through Bahari’s Anomaly Research Lab, while the same hunts also advance Anomaly Research Level.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Earn Investigation Coins
Anomaly Investigations at the Quest Counter; Bahari’s Anomaly Research Lab in Elgado for spending coins.
Before you go
- Sunbreak Anomaly Investigations unlocked.
- An available Investigation you can complete.
- Access to Bahari’s lab if you plan to exchange the coins.
Farming steps
- Open Anomaly Research at the Quest Counter and review your available Investigations.
- Choose a quest whose target and conditions fit your gear and current goal.
- Post the Investigation and complete the hunt through the normal quest flow.
- Claim the results, then check your Investigation Coin balance.
- At Bahari’s lab, open the exchange and identify a material you actually need.
- Check its displayed coin cost and compare it with your balance before purchasing.
- Return to the Investigation list and choose the next hunt based on your remaining material or progression needs.
- Use Investigations to pursue coins and Research Points in the same activity, but track each resource separately.
- Check Bahari’s current exchange stock before setting a savings target; not every desired material will necessarily be listed.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat Investigations as needed. Coin rewards are collected through completed Investigation results; use your displayed balance to measure accumulation and spend coins at Bahari when a listed purchase fits your goal.
Common mistakes
- Confusing Research Points with coins: check the separate level and currency displays.
- Assuming every Investigation pays the same amount: review quest details and your results each run.
- Saving for an item without checking availability: confirm Bahari currently offers it before committing to a coin target.
When to stop or switch
Stop when your balance covers the material you need, or switch to a hunt that supplies the material directly if the exchange does not fit your current goal.
