WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Elite encounters in Campaign or Adventure Mode areas; use collected Lumenite at Ward 13.

Pick up Lumenite dropped by elite enemies as you clear areas, then spend it on relevant upgrade or crafting recipes at Ward 13. Drops are not a fixed payout, so treat this as steady incidental farming rather than a guaranteed number per route. A short, manageable Adventure area can make returning to the same kind of encounters convenient.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

Have access to world exploration and elite encounters.
Carry enough ammunition and healing to finish the fights safely.
Know whether your immediate goal is a McCabe craft or an upgrade cost.

Choose an area you can clear comfortably in a current Campaign or Adventure roll.
Travel through the route and watch for elite enemies among ordinary encounters.
Defeat each elite and inspect the area for its dropped materials.
Collect any Lumenite before leaving the encounter space.
Return to Ward 13 when your inventory or current crafting goal calls for it.
Check McCabe’s or Rigs’ displayed costs and spend Lumenite on the intended item.
If more is needed, continue in the area or reroll and repeat the exploration loop.

Farming tips

Loot quality and quantity vary; do not budget around a fixed drop count.
Ace can sell Lumenite for Scrap, so check her stock if a small shortfall is blocking a craft.

Repeat, collect and use

Elite encounters are a repeatable source, but individual drops are variable. Keep exploring or reroll an appropriate world to continue collecting.

Common mistakes

Leaving materials uncollected: inspect the fight area before moving on.
Expecting every elite to yield the same amount: use the inventory total as your actual progress measure.
Spending Lumenite before checking the recipe: review costs at Ward 13 first.

When to stop or switch

Stop when you have enough for your planned recipe or upgrade; switch to the next resource if Lumenite is no longer the bottleneck.
