Stone Exchange Materials

There seems to be some confusion regarding the differences between stone types for Advance Quests and Extreme Quests. So we'll take the opportunity to clarify each of these stones for the upcoming March 5th update.

輝石 = Pyroxenes

  • These stones drop in [Advance Quests]
  • You can 'Refine' them along with a certain weapon to create an "upgraded" version of that weapon.
  • i.e Ikutachi + 90 Wind Vayu Pyroxenes = Kagudachi

大輝石 = Large Pyroxenes / Big Pyroxenes

  • These stones drop in [Super Hard Advance Quests]
  • You can use them as exchange materials for a weapon that looks like a blue (Ishurai/Surukurai) or a yellow (Messer Agate/Lava Seeker) among other things.
  • The Dengeki scan says you can convert specific Pyroxenes into Large Pyroxenes. (Speculating here, but presumably, wind pyroxenes into large wind pyroxenes.)

魔石 = Spellstones

  • These are commonly referred to as the "Extreme Quest Stones"
  • You can use these stones to acquire 11★ weapons
  • The upcoming "BIO" weapon series will require spellstones.

Campaigns and Boost event information will be added to this post during and after maintenance.
