Foreword
This guide contains information about Insight Materials - whether you should farm them directly or craft them instead. Huge thanks to the creators of this guide who keep track of the best stages to farm.
Purple Tier Materials
Bifurcated Skeleton
- 4-20 Hard (Worth Farming)
- 18 stamina | 34.05% drop chance
- Other important drops: Spell of Fortune (43.55%), Shattered Bones (65.69%), Spell of Banishing (208.55%)
- 7-7 Hard (Worth Farming)
- 20 stamina | 38.49% drop chance
- Other important drops: Esoteric bones (22.36%), Shattered Bones (118.95%), Spell of Fortune (6.15%)
- 10-13 Hard (Always Farm)
- 20 stamina | 44.99% drop chance
- Other important drops: Esoteric Bones (33.47%), Shattered Bones (53.38%), Spell of Fortune (3.76%)
- Prior to Chapter 10 releasing, you can either craft or farm Bifurcated Skeleton. However, 10-13’s high drop rate makes it much more efficient to always farm and never craft it.
Biting Box
- 7-26 Hard (Worth Farming)
- 20 stamina | 31.03% drop chance
- Other important drops: Bogeyman (1.59%), Trembling Tooth (68.61%), Spell of Fortune (3.66%)

- 18 stamina | 31.40% drop chance
- Other important drops: Silver Bullet (2.04%), Silver Ore (71.13%), Liquified Terror (9.72%)
- Both stages offer good drop rates for Biting Box and a low chance to get an even higher rarity material.
Clawed Pendulum
- 11-5 Hard (Worth Farming)
- 25 stamina | 45.94% drop chance
- Other important drops: Rough Silver Ingot (41.52%), Silver Ore (53.03%), Luminite Ore (4.32%)

- 20 stamina | 34.17% drop chance
- Other important drops: Rough Silver Ingot (19.81%), Silver Ore (137.54%)

- 18 stamina | 31.45% drop chance
- Other important drops: Spell of Fortune (13.79%), Silver Ore (68.15%), Spell of Banishing (71.63%)
- Clawed Pendulum is not worth farming until the release of 11-5 because 5-14 and 7-20 aren’t very efficient.
Holy Silver
- 10-9 Hard (Worth farming!)
- 20 stamina | 47.97% drop rate
- Other important drops: Rough Silver Ingot (40.59%), Silver Ore (48.84%), Luminite Ore (5.19%)

- Other important drops: Rough Silver Ingot (59.57%), Silver Ore (136.91%), Spell of Fortune (3.61%)
- Holy Silver has a good drop rate and efficient stages. The high Silver Ore and Rough Silver Ingot drop rates also help you craft it too.

- Other important drops: Spell of Banishing (199.33%), Rough Silver Ingot (2.94%), Spell of Fortune (3.19%)

Salted Mandrake
- 3-13 Hard (Worth farming!)
- 18 stamina | 34.13% drop chance
- Other important drops: Milled Magnesia (13.79%), Magnesia Crystal (67.90%), Murmur of Insanity (2.26%)
- 3-13 is the best stage to get Salted Mandrake, and it’s also a good source of Milled Magnesia and Magnesia Crystal. The chance to get Murmur of Insanity is a nice bonus as well.
Winged Key
- 9-15 Hard (Worth farming!)
- 20 stamina | 32.55% drop chance
- Other important drops: Glowing Mothwing (2.14%), Magnesia Crystal (67.15%), Rough Silver Ingot (3.38%)
- 9-15 is the best stage to farm Winged Keys, and its a decent source of Magnesia Crystals too. The chance to obtain Glowing Mothwing is a nice bonus as well.
