Tips to Prepare for The Dawning
To help you make the most of this seasonal event, here are a few tips:
- Stock Up on Materials: Ingredients for crafting gifts often come from defeating specific enemy types or using certain elemental weapons. Make sure to have a variety of weapons and subclasses ready to efficiently gather these materials.
