Granblue Fantasy Relink AFK Grinding Guide

Here is my method for easy mastery points in Granblue Fantasy Relink, if Granblue Fantasy is known for anything is the absurd level of grinding you need to do, so here is my method for framing bosses while you are away from your keyboard or A.F.K.

Thanks for explaining HOW afk farming works. Literally everywhere else I'd searched before was just like "Oh yeah just do it and then okay here are some missions."😂

[@dimbyLABP]

I would also like to add for a tip for anyone doing this. Before you turn in the quest make sure someone in your party has Path to Mastery Sigil as many as you have or until lvl 45 trait. Because that also increases the amount of mastery gain from the quest when turning them in. Also it helps out getting a little extra mastery from the missions when afk farming as well.

[@shharick1056]

wdym by path to mastery sigil?

[@dimbyLABP]

@shharick1056 that is the name sigil that gives you bonus mastery points for anything that gives mastery points if you play offline you just need someone in your AI party to have it to get the benefits

[@charlieprince8671]

I love the full assist because it lets me farm at work 😂

[@Ninja_Cookies]

I've been using slimepede for curios since you don't need to kill anything in that mission to complete it. You don't get much but it's the laziest way to get curios if you're still trying to get war elemental and supplemental damage sigil. One other downside is it seems to ask if you want to keep doing the quest after 10 runs I think and if you don't select yes it'll put you back to town, but it's not bad if you just check back after and hour or so

[@SoulShiina]

Yeah the patch made it not infinite. It is only 10 times now

[@Ninja_Cookies]

@@SoulShiina didn't know it was a patch that did that, I just thought it was like that to make afk farming a bit more annoying to do lol

[@EricBlanchBrines]

i been doing the very hard infernadile it gives a fuck ton of kickat bouchers in materials and the drop rate for curios is 70% each run "maniac and proud is 80%" each rounds takes 2min with my ai "counting the waiting time for chest and replay of quest, boss dies in 15sec", if u want to farm curios i think quick boss kills is the play "i have farmed alr 1 war elemental, going for the rest know"

[@cy4n_knight_q8]

Did they batch the side quest thing? Doesn't work for me

[@Rhodynn]

For the ps5 players, just get 2 pieces of folded paper, press down L2 and wedge one in the gap between L1 and L2, and use the other folderd piece of paper and press up on the analog stick and wedge it there so the analog stays up, now as soon as the match starts ur char will lock on and just keep going towards the enemy for better up time in battle, whenever they lose lock on becuase the boss jumps away for a big move or w/e it automatically locks back on as soon they come down and runs towards them. Im a smoker so i used 2 pieces of tip rolling paper. Thank me later

I cant repeat the quest, every time it resets it stops at a screen before the boss where you have to press a to continue. How do you get it to skip this part?

[@wisecrackhead1188]

Press options ( assuming you’re on PlayStation ) and it should always auto repeat that’ll solve your problem

[@akira_yoshii9079]

I found a bug that after doing a couple repeat of the infernodile quest the game will make you leave the quest or just kick you out. Idk if its just me, it happened about 4 times for me now.

”Great goblins of fire” extreme difficulty drops a fairly good amount of fortitude shards

[@EnDegenerate]

@@elisniittymaki8270Yea it gives good shards but you cant full afk that.

[@DeeDiazH]

I am wondering the same thing @@EnDegenerate

[@jakeastside]

Easy. Find the dungeon that drops them the most. It’s either the conquest mode if you’re semi-AFK or can spare a hand or the defend the crystal for full AFK mode (one or two less drops).

[@mikerelf]

Protect hallowed ground in the Pillar isle, quest name "Shedding Light on the Pliiar", extreme difficulty - just plop a ranged character into your party with as much damage you can fit into them (and well, the rest of the party,too). Set full assist in the settings, and you're good to go. You get a bunch of M shards from the mobs, and L shards from mission completion. Just make sure to tab back about every 35-40~ish minutes and manually press to restart the mission, as there's an "afk detection" after 10 completions, and you'd get booted back to the hub otherwise. You also get 200-400 mastery points per run (depending on how well your AI NPC defend the point, lol)

[@8TDK]

Thx for this, but i have a question, why sometimes the game send me back to the city even tough i activated the loop?

[@GUMZILLLA]

You must have looped the quest 10x already. Game auto sent you to town after the 10th run.

[@Rhodynn]

There are 2 missions btw in folca that are repeatable, as long you have all the elemental shards. So you can get twice the amount of MP each time instead of just 700

[@TNV260]

I think the vulka one and gallanza ones are better then since ur can trade their anima for a lot of vouchers😊

[@TNV260]

Tho u do have to swap between missions in exchange for the amount of vouchers. So prob do like 5 loops of each. Should prob be about 40 ish minutes if ur in proud mode

[@jakeastside]

Voucher method is easier (and lazier thanks to full AFK controls) with the airship survival mission that drops tons of 2 types of trash that can he traded for a huge amount of vouchers (1 trash == 10 vouchers) as well as curio coins to trade for whatever since you tend to reach 999 by the end of the loop.

[@drphatcakesphd479]

It's a good guide for extremely lazy players, but the slime mission is still better by a landslide. Gives same amount of MSP within 3mins, more depending on your slime slaying. It gives a guaranteed super ez curio box so you can farm for the broken op sigils like War Elemental. Also, it gives spellbooks, so you can level up characters you plan to use in the future. Remember guys, ACTUALLY work smarter, not harder lol

[@jakeastside]

The mastery point method is the only true lazy mode since you can completely AFK compared to the slimes unless you want to macro your controls to allow AFK mode. Curio box is a drop for any dungeon AND you get quite a good amount of weapon upgrade (L) and (M)s after dumping them all.

Autoplay and autorepeat are ingame features like in a mobile game. It also stops autofarming after 10 attempts, so you have to check in. Seems to be too deliberate to me by the developers to be considered cheating or using an exploit.
