Tips for Farming Materials

• Prioritize Shop Levels: Notice how some materials become much more common at higher shop levels? If you need a lot of something like Wellspring Crystals, aim for Shop Level 3-8 for the Scrapper.
• Exploit Weaknesses: While most enemies here have fairly balanced elemental weaknesses, the Sonic Blaster is notably weaker to Blizzard and Thunder. Use those elements to speed up your fights!
• Don't Forget Basic Items: Sometimes you just need a Hi-Potion or Panacea. The Scrapper is a decent source for these, especially at higher shop levels.
