Farming Methods
Phantom Dispellers can be farmed in Occult Crescent – North Horn or through Duty Roulettes.
Option 1: Occult Crescent – North Horn (Recommended)
- FATEs: Reward 3 dispellers
- Critical Engagements: Reward 10 dispellers
This is generally the fastest and most efficient method.
Option 2: Duty Roulettes
- High-Level Dungeon Roulette: 13 Alpha
- Trial Roulette: 5 Beta
- Normal Raid Roulette: 5 Gamma
Important Notes: Daily bonuses are not required—you can spam roulettes repeatedly. Queue speed greatly impacts efficiency.
Dispeller Distribution Tips
Dispeller types are not consistently tied to specific map zones. While some trends exist:
- Beta tends to appear more in northern areas
- Gamma more common in southern areas
However, drops are inconsistent—so focus on general participation rather than targeting specific areas.
Time Estimate
- Occult Crescent method: ~4–5 hours total
- Roulettes only: Similar timeframe depending on queue speed
Quest 3: Ecliptic Arcanites (Item Level 790 Upgrade)
After completing the dispeller step, purchase 3 Ecliptic Arcanites, which cost 500 Tomestones of Mathematics each. Turn them in to receive your Item Level 790 Relic Weapon (non-glowing). Each additional relic weapon requires 3 Ecliptic Arcanites.
Final Step: The Dawntrail World Tour (One-Time Only)
This is a non-repeatable quest, meaning you only need to complete it once for all future relics. The objective is to fill the Knowledge CrystalFill it with “Martial Memories”Part 1: open-world objectives in each Dawntrail zonePart 2: nearly all Dawntrail PvE content with “Martial Memories”. This involves completing a large checklist across Dawntrail content.
Part 1: Open-World Objectives
For each Dawntrail zone, defeat 4 specific enemies and complete 5 FATEs with the highest rating.
Part 2: Instance Content
You must complete nearly all Dawntrail PvE content:
- 5 Leveling Dungeons
- 8 Expert Dungeons
- 7 Story Trials
- 3 Alliance Raids
- 12 Arcadion Normal Raids
This step essentially acts as a full expansion recap, revisiting nearly every major activity.
Final Reward: Item Level 795 Relic Weapon
After completing all objectives, return to the Phantom Village and receive your Item Level 795 weapon with a glowing visual effect. You can customize the stats by picking two primary stats and one secondary stat (lower value).
Repeat Optimization (Alt Weapons)
After completing the final step once, you do NOT need to repeat the World Tour. For future relics, turn in 3 Ecliptic Arcanites and instantly upgrade the weapon from i790 to i795. This makes farming additional relics significantly faster.
Final Thoughts
The Dawntrail relic finale blends traditional relic grinding with a full-expansion revisit. While some players may find the lack of integration with Occult Crescent disappointing, the “World Tour” approach provides a satisfying victory lap through the expansion’s content.
