Not really a fan of this content...been at it for the last 3 hours or so and it really does just feel like Eureka again without the annoying Magia board and enemies that soak up damage.

It relies on FATES for everything. You don't get merits(exp) for killing mobs, only clusters or whatever they're called that you can use to turn in for items like the mount and emotes. While the FATEs do spawn much faster than the ones in Eureka, they still aren't guaranteed to drop the item you need for the weapon.

If I understand right, you'll need 60 for the weapon upgrade. 20 of each of the 3 kinds of memories.

These can also be obtained from FATEs in older areas outside of Bozja as well.

I kind of want the resistance gear but after I get the coat at least, I'm out.
