Introduction
- This event follows the more common "later quests have better drop rate" trend, with Free Quests 4, 5, 6, and 7 having best drop rates for
, 
, 
, and 
respectively. - Event Shop currency bonuses are provided by Event Gacha Bonus CEs:
. Make sure to remember to equip / bring Friend Supports with desired drop bonus CEs! - Event Points can be boosted by either the Event Shop CE
or by any Valentine's Chocolate/Return Gift CE such as 
. - The Event Bonus Servant (Murasaki Shikibu) does not boost drop rates, but does receive increased Bond EXP and has a Damage Boost during Event Quests, so bringing them along is helpful, particularly if they provide class advantage for the quest.
- When selecting Friend Support, generally prioritize Gacha CEs over the Shop CE, as Masters can purchase their own copy of the Shop CE, and Shop Currency is generally the limiting factor, while the Point Ladder will clear before the shop is cleared if +120% drops (4x Shop CEs) or equivalent are equipped once available. Notably, even a no-monument shop clear with no Gacha CEs aside from Friend Support (and the free 3* Event CE) will still end up clearing the Point Ladder before the shop is cleared with average luck.

Ascension Mat Farming Comparison Table
- This event introduces a new material , and will be the only area to farm this material until the SERAPH rerun later in February 2021, which will introduce a new Free Quest in Shimousa that drops the material. That quest will have about a 170 APD drop rate, which is better than the Event Free Quest. However, until then this Event Quest is the only available quest for farming this material.
- The table below summarizes material drop rates in comparison to campaign free quest farming locations.
- APD = AP per drop, where less AP required per drop is better.
