Events

In Granblue Fantasy, events are sets of quests that provide rewards and items, but are only available for a limited period of time. There is usually at least one active event, and multiple events may run concurrently.

To see a list of current events, refer to the Main Page.

Recurring Events

Story Events

A new story event occurs near the end of every month. Story events feature a voiced, extensive scenario with multiple starring characters. Progressing through a story event costs 0 AP the first time through. Modern story events will typically have scripted, pre-set boss battles that are intended to be easily beaten. Once these scripted boss battles are cleared, it will unlock a raid version of that boss.

Story events use multiple reward systems (Tokens/Drawbox, Badges, and Honor). Rewards can include event-exclusive SSR weapons, SSR summons, character outfits, an item to uncap a specific character to 5★, and rarely a free recruitable character. In recent story events, the summon is replaced by Elemental Quartz.

An SSR Draw Ticket will be a reward in the drawbox if no other significant reward is offered during the event.

Rise of the Beasts

Unite and Fight

Main article: Unite and Fight

Unite and Fight is currently the only PvP (crew vs. crew) event in the game. Participants receive Valor Badges which are used to trade for highly coveted and rare items.

Unite and Fight is a primary source for obtaining Revenant Weapons. However, there are still other valuable rewards from earning honor and emptying the token draw boxes.

Dread Barrage

Main article: Dread Barrage

Dread Barrage is a PvE (crew vs. monsters) event. Because Unite and Fight events are incredibly time-consuming, Dread Barrage was created to reduce the number of Unite and Fight events per year while providing an alternative source for Valor Badges and Revenant Weapons.

Proving Grounds

Main article: Proving Grounds

Proving Grounds is a type of event intended as a challenge for veteran players. However, the event still provides useful rewards that can be earned by almost any level of player.

Tower of Babyl

Main article: Tower of Babyl

Tower of Babyl contains some of the most difficult event content in the game. Boss battles here require well-built grids and effective party compositions.

Progress made in Tower of Babyl is saved and carried over to subsequent runs.

Tales of Arcarum

Main article: Tales of Arcarum

Exo Crucibles

Main article: Exo Crucibles

Crucible is the replacement for the Xeno Clash events that were moved to the Special Quest section. In Crucible, players take down bosses to make even stronger foes appear. Crucible events use Battle System 2.0 and awards Wonders that grants bonuses in all battles except in Unite and Fight.

Redux Events

Also referred to as reruns, redux events are old, reissued story events utilizing a new event reward format, featuring new solo battles that are listed under Special Quests. Honor and badge rewards are eliminated. Instead, rewards can be obtained by trading event treasure in the event's shop. Honor can still be earned, but it is only for obtaining event-specific Trophies. Redux events are a source for Damascus Crystals

All other aspects of the original story event are the same such as the free loyalty character, voiced story, and general rewards.

Story events typically undergo one redux before being added to the Side Stories, but this is not a strict rule.

Collaborations

Collaborations feature story and characters from other games and/or franchises.

Collaborations from 2014 to mid-2017 rewards recruitable SR characters. Beginning with Katsugeki Touken Ranbu: Fate Horizon in September 2017, collaboration events typically feature at least one recruitable SSR character along with other time-limited rewards.

Although some collaboration events may be included permanently in Side Stories, most collaborations do not rerun after their premiere.

Side Stories

Main article: Side Stories

These are old story events made permanently available. Side stories have a similar format to redux events, but with much easier battles, less rewards (no Damascus Crystals, no SSR drops), and no raids.

Annual Events

Holiday Promos

During certain holidays of the year and the date entered in as the player's birthday, there are special cutscenes available for viewing. These cutscenes are usually just a couple of celebratory lines from each character part of the player's crew, although sometimes gift items can be given or received. They can be viewed by looking at the character's profile and clicking a button while the promo is ongoing. Not all characters have these special cutscenes.

Auld Lang Syne

Main article: Auld Lang Syne

Auld Lang Syne refers to events that celebrate the upcoming new year and introduces the next Zodiac Character.

Big Bad Shadow

Main article: Big Bad Shadow

Big Bad Shadow is the annual April Fools' event. Multiple April Fools' events may run concurrently.

Discontinued Events

Xeno Clashes

Main article: Xeno Clashes

Introduced on Feburary 15, 2017, Xeno Showdowns are similar to Normal Showdowns when they were events, but also contain raid battles that require co-op showdown items. Xeno Clash events feature Xeno Weapons which are notable for their "Massive" EX weapon skills and ability to be upgraded to a True form. Materials to forge Xeno Weapons into True Xeno Weapons are only available during their respective Xeno Clash events.

On March 10, 2023, Xeno Clashes became permanently available under Special Quests.

Normal Showdowns

Main article: Normal Showdowns

Ifrit Showdown, Cocytus Showdown, Vohu Manah Showdown, Sagittarius Showdown, Corow Showdown, and Diablo Showdown are now permanently available in the Special Quests tab, but they cannot proc Nightmare quests.

Cerberus Showdown and Fenrir Showdown are also showdown events, but are not permanently available. Weapons associated with these two showdowns are instead available in the Renown Pendant shop.

Defense Order

Main article: Defense Order

Defense Order was an ongoing, periodic world raid-style event. Players had a limited amount of time to defeat invading enemies and bosses, culminating in a final boss that had multiple health bars. Instead of honor, players earned Siege Shields to use as currency in the Defense Order shop.

Due to negative player feedback, Defense Order was suspended indefinitely after the Order of the Lord event ended on September 21, 2016.
