Black Beacon Artwork 16

Maximizing your resources, crystals, gold, and shards, is key for powering up in Black Beacon. Here’s the meta guide for 2025 covering the best farming methods, priorities, and pro tips with outbound links for more detail.

Fastest Crystal, Gold, and Shard Farming

1. Resource Stages (Missions)

  • How it works: From Home Menu, hit “Start Battle” → tap the Resources icon.
  • Types: Stats (crystals/EXP), Breakthrough (ascension mats/gold), Skill (skill up mats).
  • Method: Clear the highest unlocked difficulty (Normal/Hard/Extreme) for double/rare drops. Higher stages = better efficiency.​
  • Pro Tip: Don’t waste stamina on low-level Resource stages, wait until Account Level 35+ to unlock the best drop rates.​

2. Main Story & Echoes of the Past

  • Method: First-time clears deliver large one-time rune shard/crystal rewards.
  • Bonus: Each boss (Echoes) drops up to 90 shards per stage (all difficulties).​
  • Use main story for bulk shards early, then farm resource stages for repeatable gains.

3. Daily/Weekly Missions & Events

  • Focus: Complete all dailies and weeklies for steady crystals/gold/shards.
  • Events: Login and milestone event streaks yield bonus gacha keys, rune shards, and premium currency.​

4. Babel Tower (Idle Farming)

  • Unlocks: After early story clear.
  • Reward: Passive, auto-farming for EXP books, currency, shards, and upgrade mats for free, no stamina cost.
  • Upgrade Order: Prioritize Trade Station (for EXP), Field Station (mission slots), and Babel Tower itself. Max these out for auto-farms.​

5. Guild/Shop Exchanges

  • Tip: Use raid, guild tokens, or shop currency to buy upgrade mats, gold, and rare shards, save premium currency for banners.​

6. Spending Clarity (Stamina) Smart

  • Tip: Never use free event stamina or premium refills until higher farming stages unlock for best value.​

Pro Farming Tips

  • Level 35+: Only grind resource missions once you unlock top difficulty for best stamina efficiency.​
  • EXP books: Focus on Babel Tower and events, farming them with stamina is wasteful.​
  • Stamina (Clarity): Spend carefully; prioritize limited-event drops and key upgrade missions.​
  • Idle always: Babel Tower will cover much of your recurring needs passively.​
