Things to Do Before Granblue Fantasy: Relink Endless Ragnarok Releases

Endless Ragnarok is close enough that farming aimlessly can waste time, but ignoring the base-game endgame will leave you scrambling. The DLC is being discussed around a stated July 9, 2026 timing, yet as of June 30, 2026 its exact entry requirements and recommended power have not been publicly confirmed. That makes the safest prep flexible: build your core party, bank universal resources, and avoid treating any unconfirmed DLC system as guaranteed.

What this prep can and cannot confirm

This checklist is built around endgame readiness, not a promise that any one item will become mandatory on day one. Mastery Points, weapon EXP, sigil rolls, and rare upgrade materials are useful because they already feed the strongest base-game progression loops.

Fire prep priorities before Endless Ragnarok

Use this as a compact checklist first, then spend your farming time where your account is weakest. The order matters less than making sure you are not sitting on uncapped inventory, underbuilt AI companions, or empty upgrade reserves when the DLC lands.

Party and quest baseline before farming

Start with the obvious because it affects every other farm: gear your own character and the three AI companions you expect to run with. A half-built AI slot can make repeat clears slower, less stable, and harder to leave on assisted controls.

If you have not finished the campaign, push through the main story and Chapter Ø before grinding hard. Chapter Ø opens the semi-post-game loop, Ultimate difficulty, and chapter replay through Chapter Select; after the campaign, Veteran Skyfarer opens Hard, Very Hard, and Extreme, while later promotion toward Zega Grande Legend opens Maniac and Proud.

Returning players should spend a few runs re-learning their main character before committing to a long farm. Dodge timing, link attacks, skill routing, and timing around Sandalphon attacks can feel rusty after a break, and warm-up clears are cheaper than wasting high-end attempts while your muscle memory catches up.

Once you are back in rhythm, push toward Maniac and Proud instead of lingering in Hard or Very Hard. Leftover endgame clears such as Final Vision Lucilius, Zero Lucilius, and matchmaking-sensitive quests like Zathba’s Volunteers help if they overlap with your account goals, but trophy cleanup such as Master of Relink should stay optional.

Mastery Points and Ambrosias to bank

The clean target is 99,999 Mastery Points. If you have been chasing perfect Over Mastery lines, stop short of draining the bank unless the roll changes a build you are actively using; Endless Ragnarok prep is about having points ready for new nodes, not just polishing today’s sheet.

Ambrosias are the same kind of safety stock. At Siero’s Knickknack Shack, check treasure trades tied to Lucilius materials, Kanaan Whitebloom-type items, and Supreme Weapon Essence. Those trades let you convert high-end extras into instant mastery currency instead of waiting until the DLC lands.

The Gold Dalia Badges trade is expensive but predictable: the exchange is shown as three Ambrosias per week, resetting every Sunday at 12:00 midnight, with each Ambrosia costing 30 Gold Dalia Badges. If you play weekly, this is one of the few prep tasks that benefits from starting before launch week.

Fortitude Crystals for weapon leveling

Weapons are the safest account-wide sink because Fortitude Crystals are useful no matter which character you end up taking into Endless Ragnarok. Focus on Fortitude Crystals (L) and Fortitude Crystals (M); those are the most valuable for pushing weapons from level 0 to 150.

A simple repeat farm is the Extreme survival quest “Gulp… So These Are the Rumored Monsters”. It runs for about four minutes, throws waves of Arimans at you, and is well suited to low-effort repeat farming with a ranged character such as Rackam and assist settings enabled.

The numbers add up quickly if you are upgrading weapon collections rather than one favorite weapon. Completion-focused players estimate about 150-200 Fortitude Crystals (L) per weapon and roughly 20,000 L crystals for 114 weapons, so even a healthy stash can disappear fast.

For long sessions, small time saves matter: enabling Auto Skip Loading screen trims repeat-farm downtime, and Folca chest pickups can add passive crystals between quest loops. Those are side gains; the main target remains Fortitude Crystals (L) and (M).

Knickknack Vouchers and Transmarvel stock

Voucher prep is mostly smart cleanup. Look for treasures sitting at or near 999, including excess orbs and other materials you keep earning while farming. If a stack is capped, every extra drop is wasted until you convert some of it.

Do the same pass on unneeded sigils and wrightstones. In the trade screen, use the trade-all and filter controls, including touchpad where available, then sort by traits and filter out common, uncommon, rare, and epic low-level sigils. The main cleanup target is old level 7 sigils; keep the level 11 pieces and anything you actively use.

Once the vouchers are ready, turn them into Transmute and Transmarvel stock. A full 999-voucher stack can feed batches of up to 39 pulls, and while the dream number is 999 Transmarvel stock, getting as close as practical is more important than burning yourself out.

This is worth doing because new sigils, new skills, or different sigil variants may enter the Transmarvel pool, though the exact additions are not confirmed. The right balance is to bank pulls now, not delete anything that keeps your current Maniac or Proud clears comfortable.

Rare materials worth farming now

Rare material prep is broad because high-end uncaps and upgrades pull from many different boss drops. Put your targets on the wishlist and choose fights where several needed rewards overlap instead of farming one material in isolation.

Silver Centrum deserves special treatment. A reliable route is Icy Achromatic Vision on Maniac, because it can provide Land Best Horns, Frost Best Horns, and Flame Best Horns; Siero’s trade asks for eight of each horn type for one Silver Centrum. Players also report Silver Centrum drops from Maniac-and-above boss fights even when it is not listed in the reward preview, so treat those as a useful bonus chance rather than a guarantee.

Exceptional Rafinium is another repeat sink if you level many weapons. Rafale Coins can come from a range of high-end missions, so check the reward list before each farm and favor quests that also drop character, boss, or Silver Centrum-adjacent materials.

Farm to hold back on before DLC details

Prepping does not mean perfecting every current best-in-slot setup. Strong sigils such as Linked Together, Linked Together+, and War Elemental+ may remain valuable, but expansions can bring power creep, new variants, or different stat priorities.

That matters most for expensive sigil and weapon grinds. Farm enough to make your core party comfortable in Maniac and Proud, keep checking Curios if your route already produces them, and bank flexible resources rather than spending all week chasing one sub-stat that may be replaced.

Be especially careful with Behemoth and Bahamut-style Terminus weapon farming. Terminus acquisition is reportedly changing from random drops to a material or currency exchange path, but that should be treated as unconfirmed until live DLC notes confirm it; if you already have Terminus weapons, farming the related materials is still reasonable, but unfinished players may not need to force the old random-drop chase right before the change.

How to prepare for Endless Ragnarok in Granblue Fantasy: Relink

Gear your active party

Build your main character and three AI companions so every repeat farm and DLC attempt starts from a stable party.

Cap Mastery Points and Ambrosias

Aim for 99,999 Mastery Points, then use Siero’s treasure trade for Ambrosias from Supreme Weapon Essence, Lucilius/Kanaan Whitebloom-type items, or three weekly Gold Dalia Badges trades after the Sunday 12:00 midnight reset at 30 badges each.

Farm Fortitude Crystals

Stock Fortitude Crystals (L) and (M), especially for weapon leveling from 0 to 150.

Convert excess inventory

Turn capped treasures, low-level sigils, and spare wrightstones into Knickknack Vouchers, then build Transmarvel stock.

Farm rare upgrade materials

Prioritize Silver Centrum, Rafinium, Ukhar Cores, rare boss drops, dragon materials, and Behemoth materials without treating unconfirmed DLC needs as guaranteed.
