How to Buy Currency in Grand Blue Fantasy as an English Player
If you're one of the newer players lured by the siren call of free gacha pulls inGranblue Fantasy, then welcome to learning how to with this basic resource guide! Some of these can be good reminders for veterans as well, so might as well take a look, but this is more geared to beginners. For more on what to prioritize, check out our other beginner guide here.
Why start now?
If you have any intention at all to spend money in this game, RIGHT NOW is one of the better times to start, other times being during "Gala" or other seasonal periods. You will be able purchase a Beginner's Draw Set, which will appear every month until you actually buy it. A Beginner's Draw Set will contain:
- One 10-draw ticket
- One Pick Ticket
The Pick Ticket will allow you to selectANY ONE (1) item listed, includinglimited characters attime of account creation.
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RUSH PLAYER RANK. THE QUALITY OF YOUR GRID MATTERS MORE THAN YOUR RANK. Later raids will require minimum contributions to get anything significant so it's best to be stronger first.

Spending Elixirs and Berries/Balms
First, refer to "The GBF Handbook" you will see as you scroll down your home page. To start off easy, you can select the first build in any element you are most interested in. Otherwise, choose the first Omega build to get an idea of what to work on first for the longer term. Selecting an item will show you where to obtain it. You can also go to the Raids tab, and select the Raids List button towards the top right to see what raids you can host.
You can tag up tothree raids, and save up tofive raids in Pending Battles, so use your EP here. You can try to maximise your drop rates with "Bounty" skills and drop rate boosts. You can also go to the Journey Drops shop for item drop rate boosts.
If there are event quests, you should do the highest possible level you can clear for the most resources. There will be both solo quests and raid quests where you can call for backup.
You can do co-op quests, as first clears provide some rainbow crystals, and finishing dailies provide mission points. 40 Mission Points will empty out the rewards shop, which includes apremium draw ticket so you can buy one everytwo weeks! Unlike the name, you can do these questssolo, butwithout support summon. If you aren't strong enough, you should still ask someone to help anyway.
Unlocking classes
It would be best if you can unlock all classes as each of them will provide various bonuses when you reach max level with it, along with certain skills you can unlock to use with other classes. To start off, a beginner should strongly consider the Thief and Enhancer line, to eventually progress to Hawkeye and Dark Fencer pre-rank-101.
The Thief line will give you access to the "Bounty Hunter" skills, which increase your drop rate (to a maximum of 9. 10 is achievable only with a special weapon). The Enhancer line gives you access to "Stall" skills, which delays foes special attacks and is incredibly useful when solo.
Events with token boxes can earn you a lot of CP as you work on emptying the boxes. You can also earn a sum of CP each time you level up. Token boxes also contain rainbow crystals!
Extended Mastery Skills
For the Main Character, you should look to obtain all three stars in an extended mastery node for maximum efficiency. You should look to putting points in these nodes:
- Attack
- HP
- Heal (if you use a healing class, can otherwise be ignored)
- Defense (can also be ignored unless you have extra points)
- Debuff Success
- Double/Triple Attack
- Total Party HP (where available)
- DMG Cap (where available)
You can also find Extended Mastery Skills, but for the most part, these can be put aside until you have more points and unlocked everything you require.
Characters also have Extended Mastery Points.However, unlike the Main Character, they only have a maximum of 18 nodes (maximum 28 with the Perpetuity Ring item). Maxing out a node is also not a necessity for characters, with exceptions for unique support skills where applicable. Generally, you would want these nodes where available (typically a maximum up to two stars):
- Double/Triple Attack
- Elemental Attack
- Boost to charge bar speed (all 3 stars)
- Debuff Success (all 3 stars)
- Stamina/Enmity
- Damage cap nodes (all 3 stars)
Other Resources
Casino chips can be used at the Jewel Resort Casino. It contains resources in the Casino Cage that restore monthly, such as:
- Moonlight Stone
- Steel Brick
- Skill Jewel/Shard
- Half Elixirs (maximum 5 per day, remember to check back!)
- Soul Berries (maximum 10 per day, remember to check back!)
The best way to earn chips is through Poker, with playing the 2 Cards Higher-or-Lower. From 1 to 7, your odds are best when you bet Higher. From 9 to Ace, it's Lower. 8 is the sole wild card, so if you prefer to play safer, then stop when you are dealt an 8.
Bronze and Silver Moons are usually used to buy Half Elixirs and Soul Berries. Gold Moons tend to get reserved to buy specific weapons (one copy, not uncapped), or Damascus Ingots. Cerulean Stones are usually spent on buying the most troublesome rare materials you don't want to grind for, at your discretion.
Uncapping priorities
Characters
Where possible, try to uncap characters with 5-stars (referred to as FLB). SSR characters at FLB have a maximum level of 100, while SR characters at FLB have a maximum level of 90. It usually takes a long time for them to hit max levels, so starting early is good. Do not discount SR characters, as some can match SSR characters in utility! Of course, that doesn't mean SSR characters at FLB are definitely better than those who aren't: it will depend on your team composition.
Weapons
Weapons can go up to four, even five stars! However, getting a weapon to four-stars is locked to post rank 101. You can still think about keeping certain weapons, and also not spending precious Damascus Ingots on weapons you can find as drops in the game.
Summons
Sunstones should be focused more on SSR summons you get from the gacha. Some are especially rarer than others, as they are unavailable to be selected from regular Pick Tickets, and are thus typicallythe best options. It can differ depending on your preference. Moonstones should be spent on Carbuncle Series summons, which are useful throughout the game, keeping normally two or three.
Summon series unavailable from regular Pick Tickets are:
- Genesis
- Dynamis
- Providence
- Primarch
Last but not least, here are a couple of final notes. You can get Vessels automatically by going to the Settings, to the Miscellaneous tab. You won't need to sort the angel weapons or summons, butyou cannot use them until the vessel is full.
You may also get items with "+1" (or more). Mirage Munitions – blue for weapons/characters, red for summons – can boost stats of weapons/summons (up to +99) and characters (up to +300). These are commonly concentrated on what you most commonly use. You can remove them by scrolling to the bottom of the relevant character/weapon/summon and hitting "Reset Marks", which will use rupies.
If you have any questions, it's usually best to ask fellow players, like that of your crew (if you have joined an active one from doing the pinboard missions). You can also refer to the wiki, which tends to get overloaded during special campaigns. Good luck with your sky-faring journey, new captain, and may thisGranblue Fantasy basic resource guide help you through!
