WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
N’Erud zones including Phantom Wasteland, Ascension Spire, Hatchery, and Titan’s Reach
Use N’Erud exploration to gather Lumenite from elite enemies while progressing through a world roll. The named areas below are places to search, not a fixed guaranteed circuit: layouts and enemy appearances vary. Adventure Mode lets you revisit N’Erud after clearing it.
Unlock N’Erud and reach its open areas or dungeons.
Bring equipment suited to the enemies in your current power range.
Leave inventory room for materials and other pickups.
Enter a N’Erud roll and travel through the available zones and side paths.
Watch for elite enemies as you explore; their appearance is not guaranteed at a particular landmark.
Defeat each elite and collect its drops before leaving the area.
Continue through connected spaces, including the Hatchery or Titan’s Reach when present in the roll.
Return to Ward 13 and spend Lumenite on the relevant upgrade or crafting need.
After completing the world, use Adventure Mode to roll N’Erud again if more is required.
Farming tips
Cass can sell Lumenite for Scrap, so check her stock if exploration is not meeting your need.
Search side rooms while moving through the zone; a fixed route cannot be assumed across generated layouts.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the exploration through new N’Erud rolls; elites can appear again, but no named location guarantees a specific spawn.
Common mistakes
Expecting every listed zone in one exact layout: follow the exits and dungeons generated in your roll.
Leaving drops behind after an elite fight: sweep the arena before advancing.
Confusing standard Lumenite with Corrupted Lumenite: use each for its distinct crafting and upgrade purposes.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have enough Lumenite for the upgrade or recipe you checked at Ward 13; switch to another world if N’Erud is cleared and you need variety.
