This event is part of the Alchemist series. Listed in order of premiere:

• Alchemist Astray
• Alchemist's Desire
• Momvasion! A Grandcypher Visit! & the Captain's Little Long Day

It is every alchemist's lifelong

that dream a reality.

He unveils the key to the
founder of alchemy's doomーa weapon
forged of philosopher's stone.

For new players

• Complete each chapter, quest, and boss; each awards Crystal ×50 on first-time completion.
• Completing Ending awards Nigredo Lance.
• Completing the Hard event battle awards Super Cute Genius Alchemist.
• Purchase the 20× Half-Elixirs; they provide much more AP than is needed farm them.
• Purchase the 50× Soul Berries.
• Purchase the 3× Premium Draw Tickets.
• Earn trophies for additional Crystals.

Notable Rewards

• Nigredo Lance is a Light Spear that gains a Large EX ATK Up skill at level 100. This is an excellent pickup as a mainhand to enable Double Trouble III and much easier to obtain than farmable alternatives (eg. Gungnir or Huanglong Spear). The damage reduction via PutrefiedHP is lowered on every turn
  is a nice bonus.
• Super Cute Genius Alchemist has a weak aura but a powerful call for new players. It is a decent filler summon until better ones are obtained.
• Alchemic Gothica (Cagliostro) or Crystal ×10,000 if outfit previously obtained from the B-point shop

Cagliostro (Event)			05
