The two upgrades for farming in Sword X Staff are the Bed (EXP via free speed-ups and Temporal Crystals) and the Cart (passive Coins, Wood, Stone, Ore, Battle Essence, and Gear). For farming Ores, Fantasia Ascent is the top source unlocked at Moonveild Woods. Battle Essence comes from Material Realms after clearing Verdantglade II. Dawnium you can farm through daily activities, story progression, and events.
Farming is very important in Sword X Staff. From resources like coins and wood, to more premium currencies like Dawnium and Aeonic Tickets, there are tons of stuff that you need to collect in Sword X Staff. Each of them is required for progression, but keeping track of how to farm them can be overwhelming. So, to help you with that, here's a complete farming guide for Sword X Staff.
What Are All the Farmable Resources in Sword X Staff?
Sword X Staff uses six main resource types across its upgrade systems. Here's a complete list of all the resources you can farm and what they are used for:
| Resource | What It Is Used For |
|---|---|
| Coins (Rolla) | Upgrading Home furniture |
| Wood | Upgrading Home furniture |
| Stone | Upgrading Home furniture |
| Ore | Enhancing Gear |
| Battle Essence | Upgrading skills |
| EXP | Leveling your character and advancing class rank |
| Gear | Equipping your character for higher Combat Power |
| Dawnium | Dungeon attempts, shop refreshes, materials, and account upgrades |
NOTE: Luminium is a paid only currency, you cannot get it from farming or grinding any stage. You can only buy it from the Mall using real money.
How to Farm Dawnium in Sword X Staff?
Dawnium is the premium currency in Sword X Staff, and you will need it for dungeon attempts, shop refreshes, merchants, and account upgrades. The most common early mistake is spending it as soon as it comes in. You need to save it up consistently, so here's every way you can farm it:
- From Daily Missions & Modes: Modes like Daily dungeons, Material Realms, Guild activities, Arena tasks, and event missions all reward Dawnium. For F2P players, daily content is the best Dawnium source available. You can get at least 100 Dawnium every day.
- From Quests & Achievements: The Main quests, achievements, and feature unlocks hand out Dawnium as you naturally advance. The further you progress, the more Dawnium you get to collect. Do note these are all one-time drops.
- Limited-Time Events: Events are the largest single Dawnium spikes available to free players. You get them from login campaigns, beginner events, and community activities, which hand out significant Dawnium for tasks that do not require heavy grinding.
- Exchange Luminium: For P2W Players, you can get Dawnium by exchanging Luminium at a 1:1 ratio. You can generally save this for progression-related purchases and valuable refreshes rather than spending it immediately.
- From Redeeming Codes: You just need to open the menu, go to User Center, tap Gift Code, and claim every active code. Launch codes, creator codes, and event codes regularly include Dawnium alongside stamina and other materials. To know the latest codes, you can check out our Sword X Staff Codes article.
How to Farm Resources in Sword X Staff?
The basic resources you can find in Sword X Staff are Rolla (Coins), Wood, and Stone. These are used to upgrade all your furniture in your Home. Upgrading them provides you with more resources over time and buffs to the EXP Gain, better rewards, and much more. Here are all how you can farm these resources:
- From the Cart: The cart is the best place from which you can farm coins, wood, and stones consistently. It collects resources over time, and you can upgrade it using the same resources to increase the rate of production.
- From Map Exploration: The next place from which you can farm resouces if from the map. You can find stacks of these resources lying on various parts of the map, and collecting them can be quite worthwhile.
How to Farm Ores in Sword X Staff?
Apart from regular resources, one of the most important resources you will need is Ores. They come in different forms and rarities like Raw Ore (Common), Refined Ore (Rare), and so on. These are needed for enhancing your gear. The higher the level, the more ore you will need. Here are all the best ways to farm ore in Sword X Staff:
- From Quests: Unlike other resources, the best way to get Ores is from completing Quests. This includes both Daily Quests and Guidance Quests.
- From the Cart: The Cart also provides a small amount of Raw Ore starting from Level 3. Once you upgrade it to higher levels, the amount of Ore it gives can be quite substantial, and it also provides better rarities.
- From Fanatasia Accent: The final and probably the best way to farm Ores would be from exploring the Fanatasia Ascent, which unlocks at Moonveild Woods. The difficulty of the floors you can attempt depends on your CP, and the higher the difficulty, the more ore you get.
NOTE: You can also use Iron Hammer to mine Iron Ore in Ironvein Pit Realm and Gold Pickaxe to mine Gold Ore in Gilded Depths Realm. These can be bought from the Shop or earn via Commissions.
How to Farm Battle Essence in Sword X Staff?
Battle Essence is the single most important resource you will need for upgrading skills in Sword X Staff. Battle Essence, as mentioned in its name, is primarily rewarded from winning battles. But there are a few other places from which you can farm this. Here's all of them, which you should know:
- From the Cart: The Cart also provides a small amount of Battle Essence starting from Level 3. Once you upgrade it to higher levels, the amount of Battle Essence it provides increases.
- From Material Realms: You unlock Material Realms after clearing Verdantglade II, where you can use Worn Knuckles to fight monsters in the Dread Hollow Realm (requires Verdantglade IV) and get tons of Battle Essence.
How to Farm EXP in Sword X Staff?
EXP, which is used for leveling up your character, is the most important resource you can farm in Sword X Staff. It determines your character's combat power, the stages that you can attempt, your class progression, and much more. But there are only a few places from which you can farm EXP. Here's all of them:
- From Bed: The Bed Furniture in your Home is by far the best place to earn EXP. You can use your free speed-ups and Temporal Crystals to get 2 hours' worth of EXP from this furniture.
- From Expedition: The only other way for you to farm EXP is by clearing 100% of unexplored areas. The further you explore, the more EXP you get during the process. But, this can be limited if you don't have enough CP.
NOTE: Unlike regular furniture, you cannot upgrade the Bed with Gold, or any premium currency for that matter. You can only upgrade it by activating Lost Goddess Statues.
How to Farm Gears in Sword X Staff?
Gears, which you can mostly find lying around on the map, can also be farmed. If you are looking for high rarity, Epic, and Legendary gear, these are what you need to grind to get them:
- Boss Dungeons: These are raid-style stages where you need to team up with allies and fight against bosses. The ones who deal the most damage get the best rewards and gear. One of the best stages is Auroradrasil.
- From the cart: While the best gear is locked behind dungeons, you can also upgrade the Cart in Home to fetch you gears passively. Though this unlocks after level 10 and the amount you get is less, it is still free of cost.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
You should save it for progression purchases like dungeon attempts, merchants, and account upgrades that improve your Combat Power permanently. Avoid spending Dawnium on shop refreshes or convenience items in the early game before you have a clear picture of what the mid and late game needs.
Yes, and it should be one of the first things you reinvest resources into. The Cart passively produces Coins, Wood, and Stone from the start, adds Raw Ore at Level 3, Battle Essence at Level 3, and Gear at Level 10. Every upgrade increases production rates and Ore rarity, and it runs whether you are actively playing or not.
