First of all, you're gonna freak out because you'll go through Sugi tunnels and will only get broken gems in the treasure boxes and a single fixed one at the reward chest. There's a reason for that; Rag's Jewelry Store! (If you're familiar with SMT games but Persona, you'll know this guy).
You can farm broken gems and item mix 5 with 250 magnetites to create 1~3 fixed gems, which cost a whooping 5k macca EACH on NPCs. (Yet to see if alignment increases it). I spammed Sugi Bronze 6 times in a row and made 207k by selling everything to NPCs and doing quests. And that was DAY ONE, WITH A SHOTGUN.
This is a good way to make macca, just make sure to get the Fusion Gauge outside Home 3 and pick up a Hua Po to use the flame gauge against Garm. The rest is easy as pie!
Later on I'll add my notes on Sugi Bronze floor patterns and its gems contents.

Great guide! I'm sure it'll help the new players on CAVE's servers.
Thank you!

I think once you level up a little bit from the early acts it's actually easier to go to Celu and start farming there - one Bronze run gets you about 200k's worth of broken gems plus other loot. It's pretty easy to solo from level 20 or so, I'd say. Celu Silver is even better but I don't remember exactly what you get from there right now.

It's pretty easy to solo from level 20 or so, I'd say. Celu Silver is even better but I don't remember exactly what you get from there right now. Yeah, Celu's treasure rooms are pretty profitable. Keep in mind that they've also adjusted the selling price of the gear/weapons that can drop, so sometimes you'll get a piece of equip in a chest that can net you 50k all by itself if you vendor it. Also, when mixing, you can add one Altered Magnetite per mixing action to boost the chance of generating more items. In other words, it's very good to start farming Quartz/Shibuya as soon as you can. Once you get your DB License, you can start doing the Tears of Brass quest at Ueno Mirage. You talk to the Gaian in the lobby and select his second option, and he'll give you a quest. Basically, you need to clear the fly rooms in a Mirage run (Bronze has three possible rooms, Silver has four) and then touch the plasma that appears with the treasure chests in the boss room. Go back to the lobby and talk to the Gaian, and he'll give you a random reward for each fly room that you cleared. Basic rewards are cracked gems, the shards for Mirage item mixing, and estoma stones, but he can also give you runestones (of all sizes), zodiac soul stones, holy relics, and if you're really lucky, Ishtar of Fantasy PG! The possible rewards change from day to day, for example Ishtar PG only has a chance of dropping on Sat/Sun, and Peorth runes only on Tuesdays, etc. You can do this quest five times per day, so it's a good way to stockpile rebirth materials or make macca if you sell the runestones/relics/zodiacs. He's not super stingy, either, I usually get at least one large runestone, relic, or zodiac per day when I remember to do a couple runs. Bronze has no level req, but Silver needs level 40. Also, if you are trying to do this quest, everyone in the run needs to have the quest active and accepted, otherwise the flies won't spawn. You have to accept the quest anew after every turn in, so try not to forget this! The quest resets at 4AM Tokyo Time. Here's the wiki link (there's a chart that shows which rewards fall on which day so you can plan runs if you need a specific soulstone or relic or rune): tinyurl.com/tearsofbrassSince the days obviously go off Tokyo time, this might be useful: www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=248I'd also add to this list: LOOT EVERYTHING. Mobs drop more macca/mags than they do on EN, as well as cracked/full gems, DCM, and runestones (I've gotten medium AND large off normal mobs). I've noticed in runs that a lot of people are really in the habit of ignoring mob drops because on EN they weren't super useful, but that's not the case here at all. Also, queen/king/jack cards and their boxes drop a lot more here than on EN, and you can get some nice stuff from them to sell or use for yourself, so yeah... looting the trash mobs is worthwhile. Care your demons, too. Remember that they give cracked gems or racial melons (which CAN be used in devil force here) usually, but can also give talismans that boost their defense (and can be mixed to be even better or just sold) as well as their DCM or even holy relics if you're really lucky. If you've got a rare-ish demon from a PG or event, selling their DCM via lucky cares is a nice bonus. Some demons also have a chance to give unique items like weapons, equips, soul stones, relic pieces, etc. tinyurl.com/demoncaregifts <- Specifics on which demons/races give what. If you don't mind hiking all the way to the questgiver, you can also accept the invoke emblem quest (second option on the NPC) and for two hours, invoke emblems will have a chance of dropping from any demon within ~45 levels of you. This means that it's actually easier to farm these early on, for example using Erosion Hex on the Pixies in H3 Hack. The emblems can be traded for invoke summon orbs and extras, so people seem to buy them regularly. I usually see stacks of 3000 emblems selling for 5 mil macca. So if you don't mind the boredom (aka you used to be fine plasma farming) of spamming hexes on pixies for two hours or whatever, that's a possibility. You could theoretically make a 2nd account with a char that never levels, just farms emblems in H3 Hack. If you remember this video, that's what she's doing. If you need a primer on Invoke System, Talavaj already covered it: forum.marvelous-usa.com/index.php?showtopic=22195&st=50&p=721863&#entry721863 Also check out the entry for Foreign Country in the Woods, since that's best done at lower levels (it's not a money maker since you have to pay an entry fee, but it can get you some special variant demons/equips). There's more potential (orbs from Boundless Domain, NSSR for maximum gem hilarity, Ice Cave has a similar-but-different mechanic as Mirage with different possible rewards on different days, etc) as you level obviously, but that's what I can think of for players 1-30.

That sounds rather awesome to be able to get DCM from caring demons.

apple earring isnt bad either for the pure enh/cotw types. esp w/ cdr gear being so expensive. oh, and that lost soul deathbringer thingy, the 3o% dmg/7o% exp one. she gives that too
just a heads up, 5o spirits for apple ear/joyful frost or alice/care talisman, and 2ooo for the lost soul
also, farm up as many as you possibly can since its an event that they're dropping so commonly. i've been playin for a year and have only gotten 1 normally.
