Farming Stigma Shards takes a mix of methods. Here are the best sources:
- Transcendence Dungeons: These dungeons drop shards as rewards. They’re a reliable way to get multiple shards at once.
- Abyss Content: You can farm Abyss Points (AP) and Stigma Fragments, then use Substance Morph to create full Stigmas. Note: Success is around 20%, so be prepared for some luck-based attempts.
- Quests and Contracts: Completing Supply Requests, Abyss Contracts, or Command Quest Contracts gives you shards or AP to trade for them.
- Seasonal Shop: Starting in Season 2, certain shards can be purchased in the seasonal store.
- Minigames: Fun activities like Shugo minigames sometimes reward shards. While slower, they’re a casual way to gather extras.
Once you have shards, here’s how to use them for maximum effect:
- Unlock Stigma Slots: Greater Stigma slots open at Level 45 through group quests and dungeon instances. These slots let you equip powerful skills.
- Equip Stigma Stones: Slot your shards into Stigma Stones to gain strong active or passive abilities.
- Upgrade Skills: Improving Stigma Skills to higher ranks (like Rank 20) can massively increase your combat efficiency. Many of the best upgrades require Abyss PvP participation.
- Specialization Trees: Stigmas let you build specialized skill trees. For example, a Templar can focus on a high-damage tree, drastically changing your role and effectiveness in parties.
To make the most of your time and shards:
- Prioritize Leveling: Main Story Quests (yellow) are the fastest way to reach Level 45, unlocking the strongest Stigma slots.
- Control Faction Artifacts: If your faction holds Abyss artifacts, you can earn up to 45k AP daily, which fuels your Stigma upgrades.
- Daily Dungeons: Running daily dungeons and elite instances consistently gives the materials needed for top-tier upgrades.
