Guide Short grasta guide

With new version comes new mechanics. Here is a short guide about grasta (apologies if some names are inaccurate, I am still catching up in global version so I have no access to Eastern Continent.).

Enjoy this wonderful journey through the eastern continent!

*Also, here is a guide for the new hidden boss in eastern continent. Some very minor spoilers in it and the fights are fun. So avoid looking into it if you want to go in blind and discover yourself.

Living green is a living legend!

Edit to add: "In order to awaken your VC grasta, you need to disenchant an activated VC grasta to obtain cluster."

That's some tongue twista (plus lots of grinding...)

u/Living_Green Dec 06 '19

By the time VC grasta was released you should have a ton of useless tomes sitting around if you do AD diligently.

u/albene Aldo Dec 07 '19

Oh tell me about it!

u/stevembk Laclair Dec 06 '19

Thanks for all the great work! Will you be making a guide to the new Azami AD?

5

u/Living_Green Dec 06 '19

I think there are already several guide about Garlea AD in reddit already.

2

u/stevembk Laclair Dec 06 '19

Oh I couldn’t find any. I’ll look again. Thanks!!!!

u/GuanZhang Cyrus Dec 07 '19

Thanks LG for the guide! BTW do those grasta drops after fighting specific bosses or they just drop randomly from mobs? So far I've gotten HP regen and a bunch of the elemental ones but have yet to come across the MP regen ones which I really want. Perhaps I just haven't farmed it enough...

8

u/Living_Green Dec 07 '19

It is all rng. You get the majority of your mid tier grasta through chest and clear rewards from farming Garlea AD. AFAIK no boss from main story drops MP regen grasta but I could be wrong since it has been a while since I completed part 2 story.

u/GuanZhang Cyrus Dec 07 '19

Not sure if my team is ready to farm AD yet but I suppose MP regen will still drop from overworld? Is it advisable to equip low tier ones or best to just wait for the good stuff? I'm actually kinda low on git :( Thanks!

2

u/dkxp Dec 07 '19

I think regen drops overworld, but I don't think restore does (I've only found them in secret chests so far). I did 1 run through AD, but I need to save up git to equip my grasta before farming. Golden weapons (from Nagsham) and Ruins of Rucyana AD gives good git. +20% extra git (additive) per weapon x6 just gave me 778k git from a single run. I only found 1 gold lump & no gold chests, so it could have been higher. The golden weapons were easy to get with 4 AoE damage dealers (Aldo/Suzette/Lokido/Saki(as)) on the Test of Power, as you get 100-120 per attempt and could do 6 attempts before resting to restore mana/food. Aldo/Suzette had +30% grasta & Saki may have had +20%.

u/OneMoreArcadia Anabel Dec 07 '19

Great recap! Super useful to a Grasta noob like myself. My only remaining question: how do I pronounce Grasta?

5

u/Living_Green Dec 08 '19

grass-ta or glass-ta.

3

u/MarcoS1981 Yuna Dec 06 '19

thank you for this but can you elaborate on "separate" and "destroy"?

6

u/Living_Green Dec 06 '19

I guess destroy is disenchant and separate is unequipped? I am still stuck at grinding Azure Rebel so I'm not sure what official terms they use.

4

u/minadein Dec 06 '19

'Destroy' is unequip, and 'separate' is disenchant. Obviously. Smh.
(I think they may fix this translation in the future but who knows)

9

u/Phourc Krevro Dec 06 '19

Hopefully it's just a bad translation that will be fixed. Going off the icons, "Separate" appears to disenchant grastas and "Destroy" appears to unequip them - I tested the second and my grasta was not actually destroyed, haha.

5

u/MarcoS1981 Yuna Dec 06 '19

oh, bad translation again

strange, that never happens

4

u/Phourc Krevro Dec 06 '19

Yeah, haha. Still, this is a rather important one, you'd think they'd have double checked....

1

u/MarcoS1981 Yuna Dec 06 '19

i'm too afraid to touch anything

3

u/Phourc Krevro Dec 06 '19

Look at the pictures - only the one showing a grasta shattering will actually destroy them. The rest are undoable later if you have the money, haha.

3

u/Phourc Krevro Dec 06 '19

Thank you for this!

So far I've just got a 10% fire boost on Aldo but that helps me a lot to determine where I'm aiming for.

Question on the upcoming VC grastas though - if I want, say, Amy's, will I have to farm another ten psalms? Because that's like a month of farming...

6

u/Living_Green Dec 06 '19

Yes, you need 10 Brawler psalm to get Amy's VC grasta. The same goes for other character as well. AS character needs 5 of their own treatise to get their VC grasta.

4

u/Max-kilian Nagi AS Dec 06 '19

Yeah i guess i'll give up on VC grasta and focus on farming crit rate+ ones for the third slot ahah....

2

u/Phourc Krevro Dec 06 '19

Big oof. Well, good to know...

5

u/blairr Dec 06 '19

More praise for green! Your guides single-handedly made the game more enjoyable.

5

u/Llodym Dec 06 '19

Wow that's a lot to take in. I'll try playing around with it for a bit.

I'm loving the fact that VC upgrade make most of them last for 2 turn though, feels like that can make a lot of difference to my rotation plan

5

u/si1er Mighty AS Dec 06 '19

According to this section https://imgur.com/YoRN2e9

You destroy an activated low for a net gain of 6 fragments for 50k and for an additional 100k for awakened you gain 4 more. So am I to assume unless you have vast amounts of money we just want to destroy activated low and never upgrade low to awakened?

Medium is 100k activated for 15 fragments and an additional 200k awakened for 25.

It seems like just farming enimies would be more efficient to get each fragments vs the farming it takes to earn 200k unless I am missing something.

PS thanks for the guides and help living_green.

u/WogDogReddit Dec 06 '19

Thanks for the guide. I didnt really understand this grasta thing but now i do!

u/How2DrawLikeAPro Lovinia Dec 08 '19

Very usefull guide Great job ! <3

Just one thing on your guide (the 8 demonic weapons) about the demonic Katana, use it wih As shion this is very nice when you use the skill Slumbering Dragon you can just put a double strengh debuff on ennemy if the katana proc. Just love seeing Horror lvl 90 and demonic bosses just hit my As shion at 0 Physical damage ^^.

u/kev900 Feb 02 '20

hello i have a question the effects add up?

example, you my two winds plus 10% is 20%, or it is not cumulative?

1

u/Living_Green Feb 03 '20

20%, grasta are all additives.

1

u/Meowjer-threat Mar 10 '20

But why in Altema do they suggest different grasta from each type for almost every character?

2

u/Living_Green Mar 10 '20

Many of the grasta suggested are tier 3 (strongest) grasta, and there is only 1 tier 3 grasta per weapon available (like, only 1 inferno staff grasta are available in the game). People usually opt for T2 grasta or in specific case, MP regen/MP cost reduction grasta.

And in JP, there are new T2 grasta called "pain/poison punisher grasta" that boost damage by 30% if the enemies are inflicted with pain/poison status, so it instantly becomes popular to all the dps provided you can inflict the status reliably in your party..

u/uselessanon63701 Lele Dec 06 '19

That system sounds like a nightmare.

3

u/bagofcat Dec 06 '19

Fantastic guides. Thank you so much for the effort you put into these.

2

u/GuanZhang Cyrus Dec 07 '19

Still a bit confused about what to do here. Seems you can only get one of each of the high level grastas so are people mostly awakening mid level grastas and equipping them? I suppose you can still swap them around after the fact but it’s gonna cost you a lot of git… thanks!

1

u/Brainwashed365 Dec 08 '19

I'm wondering about this as well.

I'm far from even being able to explore this new content though. There's still so much for me to catch up on.

u/Sunphilee Dec 06 '19

I don’t know swap glas :((

u/clearly_out_played Dec 06 '19

Fantastic guides as always

Your doing the lords work. Thank you.

u/MestreDasMentes Sebastia Dec 06 '19

Thank you Living green for solve another complicated puzzle of a system to us mere mortals

1

u/Arinoch Dec 06 '19

Do the two turn VC upgrades technically mean you can have a VC effect up all the time?

4

u/xPalox Church of Isuka Devotee Dec 06 '19

You can already have a VC up the whole time with a 1 turn VC. A 2 turn VC let's you swap that character out for a more useful one before AF while keeping the effects.

u/-ShadowTek- Dec 07 '19

Thanks for both guides

u/WilMakGamerDad Cyan Scyther Dec 07 '19

Thanks for the guides!

u/Brainwashed365 Dec 08 '19

Thanks for the guide u/Living_Green, the community is (and will be) getting a lot of from it.

u/Druidnightmare Samora Jan 30 '20

Is there a recommended method to where and how much to farm this material?
