Unlike cantrip chests, this involves strategic combat where coordination and proper buff stacking are crucial for efficiency. What You Get Prima Materia — 1–3 per enemy (elixir-dependent) Gear drops from bosses Gold and reagents Exhibit completion progress Key Facts 4-player teams (multiple groups can run!) Buff stacking (Feints) is essential for bosses AoE strategy for minions — no Feints needed Joining ORDER matters for the hitter Group Composition 1 PLAYER The Hitter JOINS LAST — takes position 4 Primary damage dealer Storm, Fire, or Myth preferred (high damage) Must have strong single-target AND AoE spells Should have best gear/damage stats 3 PLAYERS Support Players JOIN FIRST — take positions 1, 2, 3 Apply Feints for boss fights Provide blades and traps Handle minions with global hits Any school works — variety helps CRITICAL: The hitter MUST join the battle LAST to get into the 4th position! Running Multiple Groups Your guild can run multiple 4-person teams simultaneously across different zones! 8 players → 2 groups 12 players → 3 groups Each group farms different bosses or rotates through zones Share a voice channel with sub-channels for each team Maximizes Prima Materia collection across the entire guild! Recommended: All players Level 50+ for access to key spells. Ideal: Level 100+ for best gear and spell options. Pre-Run Preparation Activate Prima Magnetism Elixir (Required) 1. Guild member crafts Quintescent Core 2. Prime the Prima Magnes with the Core 3. 2–12 guild members cast Magic Touch on Prima Magnes 4. All participants receive Prima Magnetism Elixir 5. You're level-scaled to the world and can collect Prima Materia ✓ Hitter Preparation Essential Spells vs Bosses: Strongest enchanted single-target or strong AoE (Meteor Strike, Forest Lord, Storm Lord, etc.) vs Minions: Strong AoE spell Blades: School blades, pet blades, item blades Bubbles/Auras: Damage-boosting globals or auras Gear & Deck Maximum damage % Pierce (to counter shields) Critical (bonus) Power pip chance Example Mixed-Run Deck 1–2 AoE hits (enchanted) 1–2 Single target hits (enchanted) 3–4 School blades 1–2 Traps (same school) 1 Bubble/Aura KEEP DECK SMALL — under 15 cards Support Player Preparation Feint Loadout — CRITICAL for boss fights. You need MULTIPLE versions of Feint for stacking. Each version stacks because they're technically different spells — boss fights benefit from 3–4+ stacked Feints (+70% each)! The 4 Feint Types Normal Feint Trained spell Feint TC Treasure card version Item Card Feint From gear (pets, amulets) Potent Feint Enhanced (world dependent) Support Deck — Boss Fights Normal Feint 2–3 Feint TC 1 Potent Feint (if available) Blades for the hitter's school 1–2 Traps for hitter's school Small healing backup (optional) Support Deck — Minion Fights Global hit spell (Meteor Strike, Humongofrog, etc.) School blades Any AoE spell Feints NOT required for minions! Joining Order — VERY IMPORTANT Step 1 · Support players (3 people) enter battle circle FIRST They take positions 1, 2, and 3 Wait for all 3 to be in before hitter joins Step 2 · Hitter joins AFTER players 1–3 have entered 4th position is targeted less by enemies Hitter survives longer to unleash buffed attack Support players absorb hits while setting up Combat Strategy Boss Fights — Feint Stacking Method Turn-by-Turn Breakdown Turn 1 (recommended to hit if team is ready) Support 1: Cast Normal Feint on boss Support 2: Cast Feint TC on boss Support 3: Cast Item Card Feint on boss (or blade hitter if no item feint; or Potent Feint if normal is already placed) Hitter: Hit (AoE recommended) or Blade/Use Aura if applicable Turns 2 & 3 Supports: Continue blading, add more traps, or pass Hitter: Hit (AoE recommended) or Blade/Use Aura Turn 4 (should be done by this turn) Hitter: Final AoE hit or finish Minion Fights — Speed Method Feints NOT required for minions! Go straight to hitting. Turn-by-Turn Breakdown Turn 1 All players: Cast global hit spells (Meteor, etc.) OR blade hitter Hitter: Cast buffed AoE attack Turn 2 (if needed) All supports: Cast global hit spells OR blade hitter if applicable Hitter: Cast buffed AoE to finish Alternative — Multiple Hitters If multiple players have good AoE, everyone can hit simultaneously Quicker than boosting one hitter — more energy efficient Great for speed farming Advanced Tips & Tricks School-Specific Strategies Same School as Boss Bring Prisms to convert to opposite school Check boss resistances beforehand Pierce becomes crucial Universal Traps Hex works on any school Mass Feint (from gear) affects all enemies Dealing With Shields Boss Casts Shields Pierce stat bypasses a percentage Shatter TC removes all shields/wards Tower Shields (-50%) Very common — bring Shatter or high pierce % Or overpower with enough buffs stacked Time-Saving Tricks Speed Farming Setup Pre-agree on turn plans in voice chat Use small decks (1–8 cards max) Skip unnecessary animations in settings Route Optimization Assign different zones to each team Know which bosses have minions vs solo spawns Farming Efficiency Boss Farming (with Feints) Turn 1–2 kill with proper setup 5–7 minutes per boss including travel 3–9 Prima Materia per boss (varies by minion count) Bonus: gear drops Minion Farming (AoE) Turn 2–3 kill 3–4 minutes per encounter 3–12 Prima Materia depending on minion count & elixir Quick, repetitive farming Best Strategy Mix both boss and minion farming Minions = quick Prima Materia Bosses = Prima Materia + gear drops Rotate based on team preference Common Mistakes to Avoid Hitter joins first — gets targeted too much, may die before hitting Using Feints on minions — waste of time and cards Not coordinating blades — overlap = wasted turns Over stacking — diminishing returns after 8–10 buffs, just hit Big decks — takes forever to draw the right cards No communication — leads to turn confusion and inefficiency Wrong deck for enemy type — boss deck for minions or vice versa Not checking boss cheats — can wipe your team unexpectedly Splitting damage on minions — focus fire or use AoE only Success Metrics You're Farming Efficiently When: Killing bosses in 2–3 turns consistently Killing minions in 1–2 turns Everyone knows their role without asking Minimal downtime between fights Making steady exhibit progress Collecting 50+ Prima Materia per hour Team has fun and stays engaged! Stack those Feints, hit hard, and keep the Prima Materia flowing — your Museum is counting on it! Alex — Founder & Systems Architect Building the community, one server at a time.
