HIA VR Upgrade Stages
Area Patrol: target Drive Disc stage
Farm a chosen Drive Disc set by selecting a stage that lists it among its paired rewards.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Area Patrol: target Drive Disc stage
Scott Outpost; enter Area Patrol and select a stage whose displayed Drive Disc pair includes your target set.
Before you go
- Unlock Area Patrol at Inter-Knot Level 26 and complete Trace to the Source.
- Know which Drive Disc set the target build needs.
- Have Battery Charge available for claims.
Farming steps
- Travel to Scott Outpost and open Area Patrol with Roland, or enter through the Compendium if available.
- Review the set pair displayed for each stage in the current activity list.
- Choose a stage that includes your desired set; the paired set is part of the same reward pool.
- Clear the stage and claim its Drive Discs and disc experience.
- Inspect each piece for a useful slot and main stat, then compare its substats with the build’s needs.
- Keep promising upgrades and use available processing options on pieces you do not need.
- Repeat the selected stage while it remains the best use of Battery Charge for the build.
- Confirm the displayed pair before each run; set pairings are easier to verify in the menu than from memory.
- Include disc experience in your assessment of the run, especially when deciding whether to spend more Battery Charge here.
Repeat, collect and use
Area Patrol is repeatable and costs Battery Charge for claims. Continue while the target set or useful disc experience remains a priority; Drive Disc drops are not guaranteed to be a particular set or stat.
Common mistakes
- Using the old Routine Cleanup name to find the activity; look for Area Patrol in the current interface.
- Choosing by remembered stage number; check that the current reward preview includes the target set.
- Keeping every drop without comparing its slot and stats; process pieces that do not help the build.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have a useful piece for the needed slot, your Battery Charge is better spent on another upgrade, or the build no longer needs this set.
