This game mode features randomly generated enemies, and can not be relied upon to always drop these materials.

You can also obtain these materials passively by completing the Nine Billion Names assignment. Use characters of the Erudition path on this assignment to gain extra materials.

Dan Heng uses these materials to raise his skill levels and unlock Traces. You'll need this many materials to fully ascend his skills:
