Alternatively, you can purchase a single tool for 150 AC by selecting it from a gathering spot's menu.
Recovering Stamina
The player is given two stamina bars: one for harvesting, and another for fishing.. If the player runs out of stamina, they can either wait for it to fill over time, or they can purchase stamina drinks with Star Gems (SG).
Stamina Drinks typically cost 150 SG; however, the first 9 drinks you buy each day are available at a discounted rate. This discount decreases with each drink you buy, until finally wearing off upon your 10th drink and onward. Your drink count resets at 5AM in Japan, allowing you to take advantage of the discount each day.
Stamina Drink Costs
- 1st Drink = 10 SG
- 2nd Drink = 10 SG
- 3rd Drink = 20 SG
- 4th Drink = 20 SG
- 5th Drink = 30 SG
- 6th Drink = 40 SG
- 7th Drink = 50 SG
- 8th Drink = 50 SG
- 9th Drink = ?? SG
- 10th Drink and Above = 150 SG
The discount reapplies after 5:00 JST each day, putting you back on the 1st drink.
Combos and Fevers
Combos will rack up each time you use a Gathering Spot. You can earn bonus combos after draining a spot of all its resources. Once the countdown timer ends, you'll earn EXP based on your combo score.
Utilize the Gathering Spots for a chance for a Fever to occur. Once activated, the following effects are applied:
- Increases the number of materials you could acquire.
- Makes it easier to obtain rare materials.
- Allows unlimited usage on a Gathering Spot.
- This will still consume Stamina.
You can also get a Fever by achieving 25 combos.
Gathering Level And Achievements
You can increase your Harvesting and Fishing levels by clearing Gathering achievements. Increasing these levels nets you bonus Fever time, and upon leveling up, it refills your stamina bar.
You can access your achievement list from the Visiphone by clicking on
ギャザリング.
The Cuisine Shop is available from Ida in Franca's Café. Initially, only a few dishes are available, but you'll unlock more by clearing Gathering achievements. A quick way of unlocking new recipes is to go around each field, gathering up as many materials as you can.
Each cuisine requires specific materials.
Details can be found in the Cuisine Shop List.
The Skill Ring Shop is accessible from Franca's Cafe. Skill Rings are a new Equipment category that will either modify a weapon's behavior or mimic the effects of a skill. Skill Rings must be equipped from the [Equip Armors] button in the Main Menu.
L-Rings will either alter a weapon's behavior or provide some support for a skill. R-Rings copy the effects of skills for use on other classes. For R-Ring's, the skill's originating class is barred from equipping the ring if the class is set as the main or sub-class.
The ring will earn EXP as long as it is equipped to the player as they earn EXP. After it reaches a certain value, you can head to the Item Lab to grind the ring.
The Ring EXP determines the number of possible grinds you can perform on the ring. As you gain more EXP, this grind cap is raised allowing for even more grinds.
強化値 (Grind Value) / (#まで強化可) Current Grind Cap
For example, in the screenshot above, the grind value is 1, and the current grind cap is 2. You can raise this cap by having the ring gain EXP.
Grinding the ring improves the skill's performance. With L-Rings you may also select which stats you want to increase.
