Introduction

  • Free Quests in this event all drop one shop currency and one building currency each, with a total of 9 Free Quests covering each permutation of three shop currencies and three building currencies. A table summarizes which Free Quests drop which combinations of materials.
  • Three free quests open at a time upon reaching each Main Quest progress checkpoint, with the last three that open (Rooftop Garden, Detachment, and Castle Tower) being the best farming locations. Farming in earnest can be held off until these open, but farming earlier areas will be somewhat unavoidable as it will be required to open up the later areas.
  • Event Shop currency Bounty of the MountainsBounty of the RiverBounty of the Sparrow bonuses are provided by Event Gacha Bonus CEs: A Modest PigNew Year's MystiqueMark on a Smiling Face. Make sure to remember to equip / bring Friend Supports with desired drop bonus CEs!
  • Building currency Cedar LumberCypress LumberKeyaki Lumber bonuses are provided by the Event Shop Bonus CE Goddesses of the Glittering Snow, as well as by Event Bonus Servants. Event Servants will boost drops for all three building currencies, so be sure to bring them if the lineup allows!
  • For Friend Supports, when still trying to complete the Main Quest line, prioritize Event Bonus Servants for building currency drops and the shop CE Goddesses of the Glittering Snow.
  • When farming to clear the shop, try to prioritize Gacha CEs A Modest PigNew Year's MystiqueMark on a Smiling Face that provide shop currency drop bonuses, while maxing out on Event Bonus Servants for building currency drops, filling remaining CE slots with gacha CEs followed by shop CE Goddesses of the Glittering Snow.
