Location
Buy Descendant Transcendent Modules to unlock the rarest and hardest to obtain modules.
- Vasper: Travel to Vasper and head to the top of the map.
- Moonlight Lake Outpost: Navigate to Moonlight Lake Outpost and proceed to the void fragment located there.
Requirements
- Two Players: One player with a non-attribute descendant (e.g., Ajax or Enzo) and another for mob killing (e.g., Bunny, Valby, Frina, Blair, or preferably Vessa).
Roles and Descendants
Non-Attribute Player
- Recommended Descendant: Valby
- Valby is ideal due to her ability to place a persistent damage-over-time (DoT) effect, which helps in passively activating the void reactor.
- This allows for a smoother and faster XP farming process.
Mob Killer Player
- Recommended Descendant: Vessa
- Vessa works exceptionally well due to the Cold Blooded Transcendent module, enabling her to spam her fourth ability (R4) with AOE effects.
- This descendant setup ensures the mobs are cleared instantly.
Farming Process
Step-by-Step Guide
- Start the Void Fragment:
- Valby throws her first ability (R1) to start the void fragment, instantly activating the first bar.
- Eliminate Enemies:
- A Vulgus task to eliminate five enemies will appear. The Vessa player uses R4 to clear all the mobs instantly.
- Abort Mission:
- Once the mobs are cleared, both players abort the mission. Valby’s DoT will re-initiate the void fragment immediately upon re-entry.
- Repeat the Process:
- Re-enter the mission and repeat the steps. Vessa uses her R4 to kill the mobs, and both players abort once more.
- Ensure Vessa leaves the mission first to avoid being pulled back into the mission due to Valby’s lingering DoT effect.
Tips
- Aim for both players to abort the mission promptly after the mobs are cleared.
- Practice the sequence to minimize mistakes and maximize efficiency, potentially reducing the time to level 40 to just 15 minutes.
Vessa’s Strategy
Positioning and Ability Usage
- Positioning:
- Find the second rock near the void fragment and position slightly to the right of it.
- Ability Placement:
- Cast R4 to the right of the rock to ensure it covers the entire spawn area, killing all mobs instantly.
- Build Recommendations:
- Modules: Nimble Fingers, MP Conversion, Cold Blooded, Chill Specialist, Skill Expansion, Maximize Range, and MP Collector.
- Cooldown Management: Use Cold Blooded between casts to maximize cooldown reduction and maintain continuous ability usage.
Scaling Up
- If performing this farm with four players, ensure all players abort the mission after the 55 enemies are defeated to maintain efficiency.
