Take Advantage of the Trance Crystal in Regalith Cathedral

For early-game MAG farming, you can farm MAG while exploring the Regalith Grand Cathedral during the Necromancer Takedown.

Trance Crystals will become available later, and you can continue exploiting them for MAG farming. You can find them in dungeons such as Mt. Vulkano as you progress Eupha's Bond.

Trance Crystal Spawns Enemies Unlimitedly

As long as it's not destroyed, Trance Crystals spawn an unlimited amount of enemies, allowing for easy MAG farming. This is also suitable for EXP farming, A-EXP, and money farming. However, keep in mind that Trance Crystals can also attack you, chipping away a huge chunk of your HP if you fight enemies near them.

Be Careful Not to Destroy the Crystal Too Quickly

If the Crystal's health becomes too low you can retreat to a nearby Rest Area and wait for it to restore its health. As the Crystal will continuously spawn enemies, be careful to keep track of long range units when spawning enemies.

List of Enemies and Weaknesses

Defeat the Blue Elmenta
