The Moon has 7 phases, and the shape of the moon changes to the next phase every time you rest until the following night. Therefore, you need to check the current shape of the moon and take a break the number of times it takes to change to a full moon.

Story Progress | Break |
---|---|
Up to Chapters 3-5 | Can't Take a Break |
Chapters 4-1 to 4-3 | Can Take a Break |
Chapters 5-1 to 5-2 | Can't Take a Break |
Chapters 5-3 Onwards | Can Take a Break |
The Rest feature will be unlocked in Chapter 4 after entering High Rank, but in Chapter 5 you will be temporarily unable to take a break. You can't advance the time when you want to, and even if you wait for the time to pass it will take about 49 minutes to progress to the next day, so it is recommended that you progress through the story first to be able to take a break.

Accumulate at least 2,100 Guild Points

To change the shape of the moon, you will have to take repeated breaks, and each break will consume 300 guild points. Depending on the state of the moon at that time, you may need to take a break up to 7 times. So make sure you have 2,100 points before you start.

How to Farm Guild PointsBuild a Camp in Windward Plains Southeast Area 10

When checking the moon, use the Pop-up Camp in Area 10 Southeast of Windward Plains. Before adjusting the moon, go directly to the site and build it. Also, if you have already built one before, you can rebuild it from Base Camp's Support Desk.
Windward Plains Map GuideRest at the Southeastern Camp in Area 10 and change to Night/Plenty

The moon can only be seen visually on Plenty Nights. Choose Plenty/Night and take a break at Pop-Up Camp in the Southeast of Area 10.
Go to Windward Aloe in Area 8

After taking a break, move to a position where you can see the moon. We recommend the area with Winward Aloe in Area 8.
Face East and wait at least 1 minute to check the shape of the Moon
Once you have moved to the location where you can see the moon, face east and wait until the moon appears. You will be able to visually check the moon approximately one and a half minutes after you finish your break.

The final goal is to make a full moon, but at this point, it is necessary to stop the moon phase just before the full moon. Also, each time you take a break, the phase of the moon's shape will change one by one. From the shape of the moon confirmed in Step 5 , calculate the number of breaks you need to reach the state just before a full moon.
Repeat the Breaks until just before the Full Moon

Once you have determined the number of breaks you need, take a break at the Pop-Up camp in Southeast Area 10. At this time, you must choose night time and take a break. There is no need to specify the environment. Also, there is no need to check the moon every time you take a break, so take as many breaks as you need in a row.
Finally, rest at camp until evening
If you rest until just before the full moon, you are ready to make it a full moon. If you rest until evening at the camp at this stage, you are sure to get a full moon. After that, accept the Optional Quest "Tempered Balahara" and collect Nightflower Pollen

Progress the Story
Due to what happens in the main story, it is not possible to take a break between Chapters 5-1 and 5-2. If you want to take a break and change the state of the moon, you can do so by advancing the story to Chapter 5-3. However, the state of full moon is fixed between Chapter 5-1 and 5-2, so there is no need to change the state of the moon.
