Raise equipment level with mission drops
Mission drops provide a direct way to replace under-level equipment while progressing through Chaos.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Raise equipment level with mission drops
Chaos missions near your current equipment level, accessed through the world map after the story.
Before you go
- Complete the story and unlock Chaos difficulty.
- Choose a mission whose level is manageable for your current gear.
- Have access to a cube or equipment menu to compare and equip drops.
Farming steps
- On the world map, select an accessible Chaos mission and review its level and reward panel.
- Prefer a mission that lists equipment rewards and is close to your present progression.
- Equip the strongest practical loadout for your active jobs before entering.
- Clear the mission and collect the equipment it awards or drops along the route.
- At a cube or after the clear, compare new items by equipment level, job affinity, and whether the build can use them.
- Replace pieces that improve the set without sacrificing the weapon or defenses your route needs.
- Return to the map and raise the mission tier only after the current one is comfortable.
- A higher-level item is not automatically a better fit if it removes useful job affinity or makes the build less survivable.
- Keep the current reliable stage available as a fallback for more drops.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the chosen mission for ordinary equipment drops and listed recurring rewards. Its first-clear reward is not renewable.
Common mistakes
- Equipping every higher-level drop without checking job affinity; compare the whole loadout first.
- Raising the mission level before improving weak slots; farm a comfortable stage until the gear gap narrows.
- Expecting a specific item on every clear; drops vary, so evaluate what the run actually gives you.
When to stop or switch
Switch to a higher mission once your equipment supports a reliable clear at the current level. Stop farming when new drops no longer improve the active build.
