How to Farm Embers

Farm Daily Quest "Ember Gathering"

After reaching Master Level 17, farming Extreme Ember Gathering stages (40 AP) is generally recommended due to their higher efficiency. These stages provide better EXP rewards, helping level Servants faster and improving overall progression.

Obtain as Event Rewards

EXP Embers are frequently obtainable through event shops and other event-related rewards. Participating in events can provide a large supply of Embers while farming additional materials and resources.

Purchase with Mana Prisms

The monthly Mana Prism Exchange provides another source of EXP Embers and can be worth purchasing if spare Mana Prisms are available.

Obtain from Friend Gacha

While EXP Embers can be obtained through the Friend Point Summon, it is generally not recommended due to the low amount gained and poor efficiency compared to other methods.

Beginner Farming Teams for Ember Gathering (Extreme)

Team for Beginners

Note: This team can be easily built even if you don't have any Ruler-class Servants in your roster.

Frontline			Backline
Lv1 Defensive	Lv1 Defensive	Support Offensive	-
No CE	No CE	Free	-

Mystic Code	Mystic Code: Chaldea
Clear Time	Approx. 4-5 mins per run

This farming strategy revolves around borrowing a Support Ruler, who takes reduced damage from most enemies due to class advantage. By placing two Lv. 1 Servants with Target Focus skills in the frontline and letting them get defeated quickly, your Support Ruler will remain on the field longer to consistently clear the stage.

Recommended Support Servants

Scáthach-Skadi	Mélusine Ondine	Amor (Caren)
James Moriarty	Altria Pendragon	Pope Johanna

Farming Steps Using This Team

1. Select a Strong Support Servant

First, create a team with two of your own Servants and one Support Servant. Look for a Lv. 80 to 90 Ruler-class Servant for your Support slot. If you can't find one, press "Update List" to refresh the options.

Strategy Tip	Adding extra Servants just to fill empty party slots is often a mistake. It reduces the number of Command Cards your Support Servant gets, which means they can't attack as often. This can slow down your clear time and potentially increase the risk of being defeated.

2. Use Target Focus Skills

At the start of the battle, activate your frontline Servants' Target Focus skills one at a time. This protects your Support Servant and ensures your frontline Servants are defeated one by one. During this process, prioritize choosing your Support Servant's Command Cards to maintain consistent damage output.

3. Prioritize Flaming Arm of Dawn (Berserker)

Prioritize defeating the Flaming Arm of Dawn (Berserker) enemies due to their high damage output. Afterward, focus on Archers and Assassins, as their shorter NP charge bars allow them to use their powerful Noble Phantasms more quickly.

Team with Slight Investments

Frontline			Backline
Owned Defensive	Owned Offensive	Support Offensive	Owned Defensive
No CE	Attack-oriented	NP CE	No CE

Emiya is shown as a recommended Servant, but you can use any offensive Servant you have in this slot.

Mystic Code	Mystic Code: Chaldea
Clear Time	Approx. 3 mins per run

This strategy focuses on borrowing a Support Berserker, whose class advantage allows them to deal increased damage to most enemies. Supports equipped with a Kaleidoscope or other 100% starting NP Craft Essences are especially recommended, as they can immediately use Noble Phantasms for faster clears.

Recommended Support Servants

Recommended Berserkers
Arjuna (Alter)	Morgan	Ibuki-Douji
Recommended 100% NP Charge Units
Archetype: EARTH	Nitocris (Alter)

Farming Steps Using This Team

1. Use Advantage Class Servants and Supports

First, build a team using trained Servants with class advantage along with units that have Target Focus skills.

Borrow a powerful Support Berserker equipped with a high starting NP Charge Craft Essence, such as Kaleidoscope, to improve damage output and clear speed.

2. Use Target Focus

Similar to the first strategy, use Target Focus skills to protect the main attacker while prioritizing their Command Cards.

3. Prioritize Flaming Arm of Dawn (Berserker)

Similar to the previous strategy, prioritize defeating Flaming Arm of Dawn (Berserker) first due to their high damage output. Then, target Archers and Assassins, as they can use their Noble Phantasms more quickly.

Team for Invested Low Rarity Servants

Frontline			Backline
ST NP Offensive	AoE NP Offensive	NP Battery	AoE NP Offensive	NP Battery
NP 50%	NP 50%	-	NP 50%	-

Mystic Code	Chaldea Combat Uniform
Clear Time	Approx. 2 mins per run

This strategy focuses on clearing each wave with a Noble Phantasm, a technique commonly known as "3-turn farming" or "looping." Borrow a Support Servant that fills any gaps in your roster to improve consistency. Since Lancer enemies appear on certain days, a Servant like Arash may be less effective, so it is better to farm on days when Lancer enemies do not appear.
