Targeted monster materials
Choose Investigations for Zenny and monster materials
A well-matched Investigation can combine a target hunt, bonus materials, and a monetary payout in one repeatable activity.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Choose Investigations for Zenny and monster materials
Registered Investigation quests with useful payout or target-specific reward boxes, posted through the Handler or Quest Board.
Before you go
- Obtain and register an Investigation at the Resource Center.
- Know whether the priority is Zenny, a monster material, or a balance of both.
- Check the quest’s conditions and remaining attempts.
Farming steps
- Open Manage Investigations and review quests for your target or useful payout.
- Compare monetary reward, target, reward boxes, objective, and failure conditions.
- Register a suitable Investigation; registration does not spend an attempt.
- Post it from the Handler or Quest Board.
- Complete the objective while minimizing faints, which reduce the quest’s money reward.
- Collect the base quest rewards and bonus Investigation boxes.
- Review the Zenny and material results, then choose the next quest based on what remains.
- Gold reward boxes are generally better for bonus materials; weigh that against a payout-focused choice.
- Avoid severe failure limits when your main goal is a reliable Zenny run.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat until the Investigation’s allotted attempts are used. Obtain more Investigations through monster research activity; each new quest has its own limited attempts.
Common mistakes
- Comparing only the payout: check target and bonus boxes if you also need materials.
- Ignoring faint penalties and failure conditions: carting reduces money and can end the quest.
- Expecting the same reward each run: objective conditions and bonus rewards are randomized.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have enough Zenny and target materials, or switch to a safer registered Investigation if the current conditions make completion unreliable.
