Farming guide for gear (Proficiency)

Most of the material required to gear up before Level 30 could be farm through both Normal and Hard Chapter. There are no certain probability as to which item would most likely to drop from which stage.

Which Stage to Farm
It is recommended to get your gear item from Hard level challenges. Hard level challenges cost two times the Deployment power it use to complete Normal Challenges, but it does gives 4 item drops compare to single item drop from the normal challenge.

However, there would usually be a double material drop event in every month. During that time, it is usually consider to be better to go for normal stages ( Except CH.8 hard). Consider saving your daily DP reward for that event, and farm up as much materials as possible during the event.

Note : You should still farm for CH.8 Hard as these materials may only be farmed from that stage.

Drop Rate
The Drop rate for all materials are currently unknown. However, farming from higher level stage would also give you a chance to drop material from a tier below it.

My personal experience would be the item to the left seems more likely to draw compare to the item to the right

Which Gear to Level up First
As we progress through our gear, we may encounter the situation where both the weapon and ODM Gear requires the same material. At this moment, you should look into what you can get after leveling up the Gear two or three levels later. Usually, leveling up ODM gear would be better because you can unlock and level up Latent Skill from there. However, If you see that leveling up weapon gves significantly more benefit then ODM then go for that gear.
