Defeat Monsters and Loot Chests

Fight and defeat monsters for a chance to get Rift Crystals from their drops. Rift Crystals are not guaranteed to drop and you may have to kill a handful of enemies to amass a significant amount. Farming RC is usually done in conjunction to farming EXP so just do your usual EXP farming route to collect Rift Crystals passively.

While exploring, also keep an eye out for treasure chests as they may also contain Rift Crystals!
