Field Station

Babel Tower Field Station

Field Station is where you dispatch your characters on timed missions. There are regular and special missions, both of which offer different rewards. You can also send characters here to obtain unclaimed treasure chests in Main Story missions.

Regular missions are categorized as A-grade, B-grade, and S-grade missions, which reset daily. S-grade missions allow three characters to be assigned, A-grade missions allow two, and B-grade missions allow only one. These missions take six real-time hours to complete and serve as the primary way to obtain Clues, item reward based on dispatched characters. Additionally, these missions are the main method for collecting Tower Sand, the resource used for unlocking and upgrading Babel Tower and its facilities.

Field Station S-Grade Mission

Meanwhile, there are special missions consisting only of S-grade missions that reset every Monday, take 12 hours to complete, and require three characters and five Clues to initiate. The rewards for S-grade missions, depends on the assigned Clues. For example, assigning the Memory - Scholarly Land Clue adds 6000 orelium as a reward. You can use similar clues to increase the reward amount.

Moreover, these missions may require specific characters, such as those who use the Thunder element or belong to the Breaker class. Activating a Clue related to them will further increase the chances of obtaining a Clue after the mission.

II Daily limit for dispatching A-grade missions increased by 2 800 Tower Sand and Babel Tower Level 3

Significance of Rebuilding Babel Tower and Its Facilities

Farming Clarity

Black Beacon Farm Clarity

Babel Tower's Celestial Orchard is a great way to passively farm Clarity points. You can use Spherical Fruits or let it generate points on its own to reach the maximum Clarity charge and trigger the accumulation of excess points.

Passive Production of Upgrade Materials

Upgrade Mats Farm Black Beacon

Unlocking and upgrading the Trade Station allows you to stockpile common upgrade materials at no cost, letting you save rare ones for high-level characters. Additionally, it helps you avoid spending Clarity points on missions to acquire these materials.

Obtain Rune Shards

Black Beacon Rune Shards Farm

Although the amount of Rune Shards rewarded in the Field Station is not high, you can repeatedly take S-grade dispatch missions to farm this item. Be sure to use the right set of Clues and characters to maximize your rewards.

Keep in mind that the S-grade dispatch mission resets weekly, so you'll have enough time to collect Clues from A and B-grade missions.
