Farming and Resources


⌬ Quick Progression Path (F2P, practical)

  • Day 1: Push story until Albion systems unlock.
  • Day 2–3: Pick 1 main Descendant + 1 main weapon. Get a “good enough” reactor.
  • Day 4–7: Build ONE setup. Stop splitting mats across 3–4 characters.
  • Hard unlocked: Use the Hard map rewards screen to target-farm what you need.
  • Week 2+: Expand roster / ult variants after your main clears reliably.

Rule:

  • If you cannot comfortably clear your target content, you are over-spreading.
  • Save Activators/Catalysts for builds you will keep.

⌬ Weapons (fast priorities)

  • If you want the up-to-date list, use: https://alcasthq.com/tfd-weapon-tier-list/
  • Common “safe crafts” (meta-leaning):
    • Albion Cavalry Gun (generalist)
    • Restored Relic (AoE)
    • The Last Dagger (single-target burst)
    • Secret Garden (stat-stick style use cases)
