First Descendant: The Ultimate 1-Hour Daily Farming Routine

 


Daily Farming Tips: Get Gold, Components, and Crystallization Catalyst in First Descendant

Playing First Descendant efficiently means having a solid, reliable farming routine. If you’re looking to maximize your daily material gain, gold income, and prep for upcoming updates, here’s a simple one-hour plan you can follow every day. Let’s dive into the exact steps I use daily to farm everything I need for upgrades and new builds.


Start with Crystallization Catalyst Research

The first thing to knock out each day is starting research for the Crystallization Catalyst.
Here's how to stay on top of it:

  • Start one Crystallization Catalyst research session right after the daily reset.

  • Log back in later during the day to kick off another research session.

  • Mixed Energy Residue and Advanced Neural Circuits are the only tricky materials. To farm these:

    • Use Enzo in Agna Desert for Mixed Energy Residue.

    • Run the "Borderline of Truth" mission in White Knight Gulch for Advanced Neural Circuits.

    • Running Void Vessel missions also supplies plenty of needed materials.

Tip: Always keep farming daily because when big updates hit, materials can disappear fast as you build new weapons and Descendants.


Daily Invasions for Easy Gold

Next, focus on daily invasion missions.
Why? It’s a reliable, fast way to get gold — and lots of it.

  • Complete all four invasion missions each day.

  • Each mission grants about 1.25 million gold.

  • If you use a Gold Boost, you’ll snag an extra 30%, earning an extra 375k gold per mission.

Today’s example:

  • Quarantine Zone and Haven invasions are active.

  • With a Gold Boost, you easily grab around 1.6 million per set.

Tip: Always pop a Gold Boost before you start for maximum gains!




Sigma Sector Runs for RK XP

After the invasion missions, head over to the Sigma Sector for daily RK XP farming.

  • Each Sigma map gives a 4,000 RK XP bonus plus 1,500 XP per normal run.

  • Choose a Descendant whose AR tree needs upgrading.
    (Right now, I’m using Walby.)

  • Running both maps nets you about 11,000 XP — easy upgrades without grinding.

Tip: This takes only about 10 minutes and drastically speeds up leveling your Descendants.


Stockpiling Key Components: Focus on Reactors and Implants

Now, it’s time to farm for those high-demand upgrade materials:

  • Precise Ion Accelerators

  • Dimension Analyzers

These are absolutely essential for reactor enhancements and weapon implants.

You’ll need:

  • 140 Dimension Analyzers per full reactor enhancement.

  • 2,000 Precise Ion Accelerators and 200 Dimension Analyzers per weapon implant.

Tip: Aim to stockpile enough for 4-5 reactors in advance.
I personally target 750 Dimension Analyzers and 20,000 Precise Ion Accelerators to stay ready for new releases.


Farming the Tormentor Efficiently

The Tormentor Boss is your best bet for farming Quantum Crystals and Void Metal Fragments.

Drops include:

  • Materials needed for Precise Ion Accelerators.

  • Materials used for Dimension Analyzers.

  • Core Particle Disruptors and Core Binders for weapon unlocking.

Tip: Farming the Tormentor 20–30 minutes daily can fully restock you for upcoming patches.


Void Abyss and Core Farming

If you still need Cores to unlock weapons:

  • Run Void Abyss Purges at Stage 30.

  • Now it’s easier than ever; soloing is manageable with skill-based Descendants.

  • Group runs take 2-3 minutes max.

Tip: Prioritize chill-based skills because most enemies are now weak to chill effects.




Optional: Farming External Components

While doing Sigma and other missions, don’t forget to collect external components:

  • I’m currently working on the Enlightened Mage set.

  • Always try to complete full sets to be ready when you need a specific buff or loadout.

Tip: Build up sets slowly; no need to rush unless a build demands it.




Blueprint Farming for Crystallization Catalyst

If you need blueprints for crafting Crystallization Catalysts:

  • Farm 400% dungeons with Fina.

  • Collect at least 5-6 amorphous materials.

  • Stop once you’ve banked enough, preventing burnout.


Summary of the 1-Hour Farming Routine

Total Time: About 60 minutes.

Here’s a breakdown:

TaskTimeNotes
Invasion Missions10-12 minsGold Boost active
Sigma Sector5-10 minsXP Boost for AR trees
Tormentor Farm20-30 minsQuantum Crystals & Void Metal
Catalyst Farming5-10 minsOnly if blueprints needed
Optional Core Farming10 minsVoid Abyss Purge if needed

Result:

  • Plenty of Gold

  • Crystallization Catalyst Research Progress

  • Stockpile of Key Components

  • XP Growth for Descendants

  • Prepped External Components

Final Thoughts: Stick to the Routine, Stay Ahead

If you want to stay ready for First Descendant updates without stressing about missing materials, having a simple, repeatable farming routine is the way to go.
By logging in for about an hour daily, you’ll stack up everything you need — gold, crystallization catalysts, key upgrade materials, and XP for your Descendants.

Here’s the quick reminder:

  • Start Catalyst Research daily.

  • Run Invasions for fast gold.

  • Clear Sigma Sector for AR XP.

  • Farm the Tormentor for core materials.

  • Pick up Blueprints and External Components when needed.

Stick with it, and you’ll always be prepared for new content drops without having to grind for hours later. Plus, it keeps the game feeling fresh and fun instead of turning into a long, boring grind.

Thanks for checking out the guide!
See you in the next farming session — and happy grinding!
