What you are farming
World Tree Holy Water: in the game's words, "when consumed, World Tree resources will not vanish when approached for a period of time." You also need it for the Radiant awakening items, Paloxite Ingot, Nutrient Tonic, the Drone Launcher and the World Tree buildings.
Ancient Relics come in five grades, from Decayed to Glistening. Feed them to the Ancient Relic Recycler (technology level 74) for disposable implants and schematics. Only Glistening relics can give the five best implants, so they are the ones worth chasing.
Who drops it
The game picks a Pal's drop list by its level. Every wild Pal in the World Tree is Lv 70 or higher, so they all use the World Tree list below instead of their normal drops. At Lv 80, which includes the Aura Pals, the list changes again: no Holy Water, but far more relics.
| Drop | Lv 70+ Pal | Lv 70+ Alpha | Lv 80 Pal |
|---|---|---|---|
| World Tree Holy Water | 75% × 2–4 | Always × 20–30 | – |
| Decayed Ancient Relic | 10% × 1–10 | 50% × 1–10 | Always × 30–50 |
| Dormant Ancient Relic | 5% × 1–5 | 25% × 1–5 | Always × 10–20 |
| Gorgeous Ancient Relic | 3.33% × 1–3 | 15% × 1–3 | Always × 4–8 |
| Glowing Ancient Relic | 2.5% × 1–2 | 12.5% × 1–2 | 50% × 2–3 |
| Glistening Ancient Relic | 2% × 1 | 10% × 1 | 25% × 1 |
From the game's drop tables (1.0.5). These are the usual values: a couple of World Tree Alphas have double the relic chances. Every Pal page shows its own World Tree drops, for example Orserk.
Holy Water fast: fishing
Fishing in the World Tree is the quickest Holy Water. One of the game's World Tree fishing loot lists always includes 43–71 Holy Water (and 12–25 Coralum Ore), another gives 9–18. A Large Fishing Pond at a World Tree base gives 10–15 per World Tree catch, so treat it as a bonus if you already run one. Player tip: fish the sparkling silhouettes first.
Two rare fishing spots in the west
Fly between the sparkling silhouettes, then widen the loop if nearby spots are empty. Bring Alluring Bait and your best rod: the Advanced Fishing Rod (Depresso) is the top one.
The fishing party. Put these five in your party. The numbers run from partner skill level 1 to four stars, so condense Jelliette first.
- JellietteCondense firstMore of everything you fish up.Jelliette Drop: While in party, increases items obtained from fishing by 55–95%. While Jelliette and Jellroy are in your base, Jelliette's watering speed increases by 50–120%. (Does not stack)
- GloopieThe gauge drains slower when you slip off the fish.Sticky Princess: While in party, the capture gauge decreases 12–35% more slowly while the bars are not overlapping during the fishing minigame. (Does not stack)
- Whalaska IgnisStarts each catch ahead (needs its saddle).Cozy Whale Cruiser: Can be ridden. While in party, fishing minigame begins with the capture gauge 7–17% higher than usual, and capture progress increases by 7–17% while the bars overlap. (Does not stack)
- WhalaskaSame idea, smaller numbers. Players run both whales.Chilled Whale Cruiser: Can be ridden. While in party, fishing minigames start with the capture gauge increased by 5–14%. Additionally, while the bars overlap, capture progress increases by 5–14%. (Does not stack)
- JetragonFlexFast flying between spots.Aerial Missile: Can be ridden as a flying mount. Can rapidly fire a missile launcher while mounted.
If catches are already easy, swap a whale for Lunaris (carry more) or Solmora Lux (talented catches).
Player reports (v1.0.3, before the 1.0.4 fishing changes): on August 12 a player with default settings and a four-star Jelliette fished 1,544 Holy Water from 10 glowing-purple catches, 256 from the biggest one. On August 17 another fished 762 in about 5–7 minutes with a two-star Jelliette. Pocketpair changed fishing difficulty and bait rewards in 1.0.4, so time your own first 10 catches.
Free top-ups: the World Tree has 3 springs; each one heals you and gives Holy Water (Pocketpair raised the amount in 1.0.3). Show the springs on the map.
Holy Water and relics in one lap
Packs of Lv 70+ Pals give both. Bring Pals whose partner skill makes that element drop more: at four stars each one is +80% items. A booster works when the defeated Pal has its element.
Dusty Ravine: Orserk and Snock Terra packs
Start at the nearest fast travel point and chain the clustered packs instead of chasing single Pals. Each target is covered by three of these four boosters.
- MenastingElectric Pals drop more.Steel Scorpion: While in party, player's Defense increases by 5–10%, and Electric Pals drop 40–80% more items when defeated. (Does not stack)
- Menasting TerraAlso Electric.Golden Scorpion: While in party, player's Defense increases by 5–10%, and Electric Pals drop 40–80% more items when defeated. (Does not stack)
- CryolinxDragon Pals drop more (Orserk).Dragon Hunter: While in party, Dragon Pals drop 40–80% more items when defeated. (Does not stack)
- VaeletGround Pals drop more (Snock Terra).Purification of Gaia: While in party, Ground Pals drop 40–80% more items when defeated. (Does not stack) Sometimes drops various seeds when assigned to Ranch.
- JetragonFlexA fast mount that can shoot.Aerial Missile: Can be ridden as a flying mount. Can rapidly fire a missile launcher while mounted.
Player report: players stack the two Menastings with Cryolinx and Vaelet and count up to +240% items per target. The game marks each skill "Does not stack", which is about two copies of the same skill; check your own kills.
Gilded City Ruins: Wistella packs, relics and Aura hunting
Head north through the Wistella packs, up the stairs, drop into the lower spawn area and repeat. Check the Aura spots on the way round.
- ElphidranDark Pals drop more (Wistella).Amicable Holy Dragon: Can be ridden as a flying mount. While flying, Movement Speed is increased. While in party, Dark Pals drop 40–80% more items when defeated. (Does not stack)
- KatressNeutral Pals drop more, and saves spheres.Mystical Black Magic: While in party, Neutral Pals drop 40–80% more items when defeated. Also has a 10–50% chance to prevent Pal Sphere consumption when thrown. (Does not stack)
- Blazehowl NoctAlso Neutral.Darkflame Lion: Can be ridden. While in party, Neutral Pals drop 40–80% more items when defeated. (Does not stack)
- SolenneYour attacks hit harder when all five Pals are different.Untainted Maiden: While in party, increases the player's Attack by 30–80% if all Pals in party are different species. (Does not stack)
- MaraithSwap inShorter cooldowns on kill, good on packs.Messenger of Death: Can be ridden. While in party, all Party Pals' Active Skill cooldowns are reduced by 30–60% whenever you defeat an enemy. (Does not stack)
Player report: a July 30 video of this loop (archived score +436) used a default-settings party like this one. A separate July 27 run in the Dusty Ravine area got 1,447 Holy Water in 15 minutes, but with 1.9× spawns and 3× drops, so it isn't a default benchmark.
Aura Pals for Glistening relics
The World Tree has 21 Aura spots. When an Aura Pal appears there it is Lv 80, picked from 72 kinds, and uses the Lv 80 drop list: Glistening Ancient Relic 25% (most kinds), Glowing 50% × 2–3, and 30–50 Decayed relics every time. Regular Lv 70 packs have a 2% Glistening chance.

Catch one if it has a passive you want to keep.
Expeditions while you play
Send a squad from the Pal Expedition Station before you leave base. The World Tree expeditions bring back Holy Water every time:
| Expedition | Holy Water | Relic rolls |
|---|---|---|
| World Tree | 12–16 | 2 × Decayed 51.61%, Dormant 25.81%, Gorgeous 12.9%, Glowing 6.45%, Glistening 3.23% (1–3 each) |
| World Tree (Hard) | 32–38 | 2 × Gorgeous 57.14%, Glowing 28.57%, Glistening 14.29% (2–4 each) |
From the game's expedition loot tables. The Hard run's relics are only Gorgeous, Glowing and Glistening.
Player reports: players unlock the World Tree expedition by beating the World Tree boss, and Hard by clearing the normal one. An August tester with default settings, about 1,350% rewards research and full time research got 162–189 Holy Water per 39-minute normal run and 459 from one 78-minute Hard run.
Turning relics into implants
The Ancient Relic Recycler turns a relic into a reward. Across the five grades its loot tables hold 21 disposable implants and 28 schematics. Use cheap Decayed relics for lots of ordinary rolls. Only Glistening relics can give these five:
Implants go on a Pal at the Surgery Table. See Worker passives for which ones are worth it.
Player report: Holy Water in the Recycler's boost slot speeds it up (players measured 1.5×) and doesn't change the rewards, so skip it when water is short.
Chests, junk and sealed chests
The World Tree map has 38 treasure chests and 24 junk piles. Pick them up between Aura spots and fishing spots: each chest has a Gold Coin roll of 7,000–7,500 plus an Ancient Sphere, a Gold Key, relics or Radiant Gems; junk piles can hold relics up to Glowing. Show chests and junk on the World Tree map.
Sealed chests ask for a Pal with a work suitability. Summon a Pal with the right one next to the chest. Each rolls a 5–10 stack of one Radiant Gem from its seal's three, plus a work-suitability book chance and one relic roll (Glistening 8.76%).
| Seal | Pal needed | Possible gems (5–10) |
|---|---|---|
| Fire | Kindling | |
| Water | Watering | |
| Electric | Generating Electricity |
Solmora Lux (Watering and Generating Electricity) plus any Kindling Pal covers all three seals.
Save your Holy Water
Paloxite and Mythical Wood vanish when you get close unless Holy Water is active. Two passives do the same job for good: in the game's words, Dimensional Leap and Twin-Edged Holy Blade mean "World Tree resources will not vanish when approached". Both come from the World Tree, as disposable implants from the Recycler.
- Mining or chopping trip? Ride a Pal with one of those passives, or drink Holy Water before you reach the nodes.
- Fast travel: Jetragon or Eidrolon with speed passives. See best parties.
- Keep the relics you don't recycle yet. They stack and the Recycler only needs one at a time.
