Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with getting some “Tome of the Eternal Flow” materials. I’d heard it was a pain, but hey, I like a challenge, right?

Starting the Grind
First things first, I needed to figure out where to even start. I looked it up and found out you need to beat up on some specific enemies. Gotta love when games make you figure stuff out.
The enemies I needed were these weird water creatures. You know, the ones that look like they’re made of Jell-O? Yeah, those guys.
The Actual Fighting
I warped over to the area where they supposedly spawn. I’d found a place so I warped to that and hoped for the best.
Then, I spent, I kid you not, forever just running around, beating up these water things. It wasn’t hard, just…boring. My team is pretty strong at this point, so it was just a matter of finding them, whacking them a few times, and moving on.
- Find the Water Creatures: This was almost the hardest part! They blend in sometimes.
- Whack ‘Em: Easy peasy, just used my normal attacks.
- Collect the Drops: Sometimes they dropped the stuff, sometimes they didn’t. Classic.
- Repeat, Repeat, Repeat: Yep, that’s the grind.
Getting My first material
I did some rounds and finally got my first meterial, which looks really cool and I think I’m on the right track.
Results (So Far…)
After like, I don’t know, maybe an hour or two of this, I finally started getting the drops. I wouldn’t say I have a ton of the materials yet, but it’s a start. I definitely see why people say this is a grind. You’re just doing the same thing over and over.
I’m gonna keep at it, though. I really want to make sure my characters are as good as I can get them. Gotta have those upgrades, you know? My plan is to just put on some music or a podcast and just zone out while I do this. Wish me luck!
