Project Slayers 2: How to Get Nightfall and Firstlight Items Fast

Firstlight and Nightfall materials are the Mythic crafting parts behind Project Slayers 2’s endgame weapons and armor sets, and they drop rarely. You will not fix that with luck alone. You fix it by choosing the right loop. There are three ways to get them: night boss laps in the open world, Ouwigahara dungeon chests, and Ouwigahara Roguelike tokens. There is also one free exchange that makes any drop useful, whichever set you are building.

Quick answer: Run Ouwigahara Roguelike and spend tokens at Changer Zeni (20 tokens per material). Fill the gaps with a nighttime boss rotation, then swap anything you don’t need 1:1 at Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village.

Firstlight and Nightfall materials and drop rates

Each set uses three materials, so six in total. All six show up in your inventory at Mythic rarity, next to common crafting supplies like Metal Scraps, Silk Thread, and Refinement Ore.

Nightfall set	Firstlight set
Nightfall Forged Ingot	Firstlight Forged Ingot
Nightfall Reinforced Plating	Firstlight Star Ore
Nightfall Weaver’s Cloth	Firstlight Weaver’s Silk

The in-game Archives menu shows how each source compares. Schematics never come from these chests, and schematic locations never give you these materials. They are two separate grinds.

Source	Drop chance	Cost
Ouwigahara Cache / chest	5%	Free every 10 floors, or 30,000 points
World Events Chest	2%	Spawns when a world boss dies
Changer Zeni token shop	Guaranteed	20 Ouwigahara Tokens

Only the token shop is guaranteed. That makes Roguelike the most predictable method at any level. The other two are rolls you stack on top of it.

Ouwigahara Roguelike: Trade tokens for guaranteed materials

Roguelike is a separate climb where your loadout comes entirely from the cards you pick. You don’t bring your own gear in. You earn Ouwigahara Tokens at floor milestones, and the summit floor alone pays 20. The deeper you go, the more you earn. Runs that pass Floor 100 can clear more than 100 tokens.

From the main menu, open the Hub. Pick Ouwigahara Roguelike from the mode list, which also includes 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, Zenith, and Ouwigahara Normal.

Climb as far as you can. The token count on the player panel goes up as you clear floors.

Go to Changer Zeni in the WEN AREA of Ouwigahara and choose “Shop tokens.”

Buy the Firstlight or Nightfall material you need for 20 tokens each. A 100-token run gets you five materials. A run that ends at 82 tokens gets you four, with 2 left over.

Ouwigahara Normal: Dungeon chests at 5%

The regular Ouwigahara dungeon has the best roll per chest. You need to be around Level 65. You also need to finish Blacksmith Togane’s “Your other forge” quest in Hidden Mist Village, which unlocks dungeon access.

Leave the Mistfall Harbor Shrine and head for the long bridge in the Wilderness, close to the Forgotten Ruins. Enter the purple portal there. Once past Rengoku, take the route beneath the torii to the Ouwigahara queue area.

Queue for Normal difficulty, alone or with a party. Normal gives you three hearts, so a single mistake won’t end the run.

Take cards for permanent damage, point multipliers, and max health. Skip punishing modifiers like Grounded or No Guard. Each 10 floors you clear gives you one free chest.

Before you leave, spend your points on extra chests at 30,000 points each. Each chest is its own 5% roll. Don’t spend points on Wen or XP. Changer Zeni also sells Mythic Refinement Ore for 30,000, so decide before the run what your points are for.

Dungeon points reset at the end of every match. Anything you don’t spend before leaving is lost, so you can’t save points across runs.

World boss rotation at night

Every world boss kill spawns a World Events Chest. Demon bosses only appear during the in-game night, so time your route around the day/night cycle. You don’t need to camp a single spawn. A tight seven-boss loop covers one full night.

Order	Boss	Where
1	Sumari	Bamboo Grove water channel
2	Yahari	Near Sumari
3	Reaper	Bamboo Grove field
4	Saneri	Below Windy Peak
5	Shinora	Mistfall Harbor
6	Datai	Waterfall cave near Windy Peak
7	Gyutai	Same cave as Datai

Start in Bamboo Grove at nightfall and kill Sumari, a level 2000 boss that requires you to be a Demon.

Open the World Events Chest before you go anywhere else. Its roll is lost if you teleport away first. Sumari’s chest can include Black Dragon Armour and Nightfall Reinforced Plating along with Metal Scraps, Silk Thread, and Coin Pouches.

Work through Yahari, Reaper, Saneri, Shinora, Datai, and Gyutai in that order, looting each chest as you go. Use fast-travel Shrines to cut down the riding between stops.

After Gyutai, reset your character. You respawn in Bamboo Grove just as Sumari is about to come back, ready for the next night. If daylight arrives first, wait it out, because demon bosses won’t spawn until dark.

Each loop is a few more 2% rolls. Expect most chests to give only scraps and coin, with an occasional Mythic drop.

Daytime route and extra bosses

You can also use a split route to keep farming all day. During daylight, run Saneri, Shinora, Obari (by the Mother Bear area), and Giyen (the pool at Bamboo Grove Sanctuary). After dark, run Sumari, Reaper, then Gyutai and Datai in the cave. Add Susamaru, Yahaba, Serpent King Obari, Thunder King Zentaro, Nezura Kamado, Enmu, or Akaza to either loop whenever their map icons appear. Matching Kasugai Crow or Muzan quests give extra Wen and XP, but keep your rotation moving instead of waiting for them.

A private server stops other players from taking your bosses. That speeds up a lap more than extra damage does on a busy public server.

A higher kill count each run lets you make more laps. Demons can pair Sickles with Blood Manipulation or use Akaza; Slayers can take Water Breathing or Serpent Breathing. Whichever side you choose, equip a mobility skill, because some bosses appear on cliffs or in water.

Luck boosts that raise Firstlight and Nightfall drop rates

2x and 4x Luck raise drop chances from both world boss chests and dungeon chests.
The in-game shop offers 2x Luck in blocks lasting 15 or 30 minutes.
Turn a boost on only after your route and build are ready, so none of the timer goes to travel.
The Ubuyashiki clan gives a permanent +2% Drop Luck Factor passive.
Open dungeon chests while a boost is still running, not after it expires.

Swap materials 1:1 at Blacksmith Togane

Many players hold onto Nightfall drops they don’t need while they’re still short on Firstlight, or the other way around. You don’t have to. Blacksmith Togane exchanges any of the six materials for any other, one for one, with no fee and no level requirement.

Fast travel to the Hidden Mist Village Shrine and walk into Blacksmith Togane’s forge building.

Talk to him and choose “Swap materials.” The menu reads “Any of the six for any other, one for one. Pick both sides.”

Pick the material you’re giving on the Give side and the one you want on the Receive side, then press Make the exchange.

The swap is done when the received material shows up in your inventory and the count of the material you gave goes down by one. Because of this, you don’t need to chase the boss that drops one specific part. Any Mythic drop from any source can become what you’re missing.

Using Firstlight material on Firstlight War Fans V3

The demon-side fan weapon’s V3 version is called Firstlight War Fans, making Firstlight material a popular farming target. However, materials by themselves aren’t enough to unlock the weapon. The Blacksmith offers the upgrade only after you have the V2 fans, schematic, and materials.

You craft War Fans V2 at the Nutrient Forge inside the dungeon area. It costs 90,000 Dungeon Points, 500 Metal Scraps, Silk Thread, and 10 Mythic Refinement Ore. A recent patch lowered upgrade costs, and the V3 recipe currently looks like this.

V3 requirement	Amount
Cash	1,000,000
Silk Thread	1,000
Metal Scraps	1,000
War Fans V2	1
Firstlight War Fans Schematic	1
Firstlight material	Per recipe

The schematic is buried in Iceveil Valley, and an NPC chain points you to it. You only do it once. Bring Wen for a 5,000 Wen shovel, a 2,500 Wen bribe, a fishing permit, and a large elixir order. Before starting, set your spawn at the purple crystal shrine in Windy Peak, since you’ll keep coming back through it.

Lucy, Shiro, and the shovel

Talk to Lucy by the barbecue grill in Windy Peak and accept her bear meat pantry request.

Ride to Bamboo Grove, take Tom’s bear-driving quest, and kill bear cubs for raw bear meat.

Turn the meat in to Lucy. Each turn-in gives three Cooked Bear Meat. You need nine, so repeat the Tom-and-Lucy loop three times.

Head north from Windy Peak through the canyon into Iceveil Valley. Find Iceveil Guard Shiro near the torii gate and accept his settlement supply quest.

Farm Demon Horns in the demon caves near Bamboo Grove. Then buy Health Elixirs from Alchemist Meku at the Mistfall Harbor Shrine with Wen and horns.

Put the meat and elixirs in Shiro’s supply cart and talk to him to finish the quest.

Purchase a shovel for 5,000 Wen from Winter Store Rep Lynx at the Iceveil Valley winter store. Digging requires it.

Shiori, the harbor, and the trail north

At the Butterfly Estate, talk to Shiori. She asks for health, health regen, and stamina regen elixirs.

Return to Meku and purchase 10 Stamina Regen Elixirs and 10 Health Regen Elixirs at once, plus any remaining Health Elixirs you need.

Put everything in the Infirmary Crates at the Butterfly Estate, then talk to Shiori. She mentions an injured woman heading toward the harbor.

At the Mistfall Harbor pier, talk to Dock Master Sofen, who won’t let you search without a fishing permit. If you’re short on money, sell old gear to Merchant Ginzo. Selling also gives back Metal Scraps and Silk Thread.

Pay Sofen, plunge into the harbor, and retrieve the Permit Stamp from below the surface. Handing it in reveals that the woman traveled north toward Iceveil.

Retsu, Lynx, and the Snow Mound

In Iceveil Valley, pay Old Trapper Retsu 2,500 Wen by the village torii gate and go through all of his dialogue.

Return to the winter store and ask Lynx about the woman. Lynx explains that the woman buried a pair of fans beyond the last houses.

Continue beyond the final houses to the open snowfield, where the solitary Snow Mound is located.

Dig it with the shovel. The Snow Chest appears and gives you the Mythic Firstlight War Fans Schematic plus bonus materials.

The schematic doesn’t go to your weapons list. Look for it under the Schematics tab of the inventory menu. Once it’s there and you have enough Firstlight material, bring the War Fans V2 to the Blacksmith. The V3 recipe shows up next to the V2 entry. If you’re short on a specific Firstlight part, use the same swap menu to convert spare Nightfall ingots or platings.

With the lower post-patch costs, one boosted dungeon run, a Roguelike token haul, and a full night of bosses usually cover a Firstlight or Nightfall craft in one session. Earlier, the same craft took several sessions.
