How to obtain

LF Exoswarm Core, MF Exoswarm Core, HF Exoswarm Core, FF Exoswarm Core: Dropped by Exoswarm enemies across Lahai-Roi and the Roya Frostlands.

Incomplete Combustor, Aftertune Combustor, Remnant Combustor, Reverb Combustor: Obtained from Forgery Challenge: Lesson in Embers in Stagnant Run, Lahai-Roi.

Suncoveter’s Reach: Dropped by Hyvatia, an overworld boss in Starward Riseway, Lahai-Roi.

Gold in Memory: Dropped by Sigillum, the weekly boss, in the Gate of the Lost Star challenge in Tidelost Forest.

Reverie Lily: A new gathering material arriving in Version 3.8.

Basic Resonance Potion, Advanced Resonance Potion, Premium Resonance Potion: Earned from Simulation Training (Resonance Potion).

Resonance Potion

Shell Credit: Earned from Simulation Training (Shell Credit).

Shell Credit

Exoswarm Core drops from the Exoswarm enemies of Lahai-Roi and the Roya Frostlands: Flora Reindeer, Mining Reindeer, Ironhoof, both Sabercats, Flora Drone, Mining Drone, Kronablight, Glommoth, and Voidwing Moth. They are common, so most of the 182 cores come from clearing them as you explore. Lily needs 61 FF Exoswarm Core, the largest enemy drop on her list.

All four Combustor tiers come from a single dungeon, Forgery Challenge: Lesson in Embers in Stagnant Run, Lahai-Roi. Mengzhou’s Cloudfall Chasm does not stock Combustor, so do not spend Waveplate there for Lily. Lesson in Embers also drops MF Exoswarm Core as an extra reward, which helps a little with Lily’s ascension.

Suncoveter’s Reach comes from Hyvatia, a boss that has been in the game since Version 3.0, so you do not need to wait for the patch to start farming it. Hyvatia stands in a round arena below the long bridge in Starward Riseway, north of Startorch Academy, and you can reach it once you unlock the first Lahai-Roi Resonance Nexus in Chapter 3 Act 1, What Burns Beneath Frostlands. It opens the fight in its railgun form as soon as you walk into range, so come in ready.

Gold in Memory drops from Sigillum, the weekly boss at the end of the Gate of the Lost Star challenge in the Exostrider Slumber Site, Tidelost Forest. Sigillum arrived in Version 3.1, so most accounts already have the fight open; if yours does not, it unlocks after the quest The Star That Voyages Far. Lily wants 26 drops and the weekly reset caps how many you can carry home, so clear the fight every week whether or not you are ready to spend them. Sigrika, who releases in the same phase, uses Gold in Memory too, so pulling both doubles the bill to 52.

Reverie Lily is the only material on Lily’s list that you cannot farm yet. It arrives with Version 3.8, and Kuro has not shown where it grows. The New Federation is the likely home, given Lily’s ties to the region, but treat that as a guess until the patch lands. If the usual pattern holds, Lily’s Resonator Skill Tutorial will hand out 5 Reverie Lily, but that challenge only opens once Lily is on your account.

Everything else on the list comes from content that already exists. Spend the days before the patch on Exoswarm Core, Combustor, Suncoveter’s Reach, and the weekly Gold in Memory, then go after Reverie Lily on launch day.

Lily materials FAQ

How much Shell Credit does Lily need?

3,053,300 in total: 170,000 for the six ascension ranks, 2,030,000 for the full Forte tree, and 853,300 to level her from 1 to 90.

Does that number include her weapon?

No. The in-game material overview counts the character and the weapon together, which is why it shows a larger figure. A five-star weapon adds roughly 1,400,000 Shell Credit on top.

How many Gold in Memory does Lily need?

26, all from the weekly boss Sigillum, in the Gate of the Lost Star challenge in Tidelost Forest.

What can I pre-farm before Version 3.8?

Everything except Reverie Lily. Exoswarm Core, Combustor, Suncoveter’s Reach, and Gold in Memory all come from enemies, dungeons, and bosses that are already in the game.

Which materials does Lily share with her weapon?

The four Combustor materials, since every Pistol weapon uses them for ascension.

Figures come from Version 3.8 data ahead of the November 12, 2026 release and match the cost frame every five-star resonator follows. Shell Credit totals assume no wasted EXP when levelling; feeding whole potions adds roughly 3%.
