town mats from area clear question

[Andreas Spanakis]

So each area rewards you with building materials to level your town.
In order to improve this reward there are a few ways.
town cartographer leaf research gives +1/level
area mission milestone 15 gives +50%
area mission milestone 50 gives +50%
ascension Tier 1 area booster gives +1/level
Area prestige upgrades - Explorer's Boon gives x1/level (thank @Dwane Dibbley)

Green slime pet that gives 100% + 1% per rank (but i havent got this yet, since i cannot produce light nets)

You get also some mats from some dungeons plus there are potions, but i will ignore them for my question.

Now, are there any other ways to increase this value (area reward)?
I am at a point where i need tens of thousands of mats for town buildings level up and its frustrating to farm a few dozen per area clear (my current value shows 42... no idea if this includes the +13 from my leaf research on cartographer and my two 50% from area milestones)

+ # area clear. But thats available after first WA (either from wa upgrade or area prestige which unlocks after first WA). It basucaly multiply clear-related things, not just mats, but also clear counter (good for swarms) or extra drops (stage 8).

And very first building has research to decrease building cost. Top tier mats that are hard to farm for you could be gathered by expeditions.

Yes the WA i know (ascension Tier 1 area booster gives +1/level)
BUT,,, the area prestige i don't get it. It states only area difficulty +1. The tooltip says nothing for increased rewards.
Sidenote: i find it strange that increased difficulty does not provide extra rewards. For example, i have unlocked slime area 1 three times (1-1, 1-2, 1-3) using area prestige. All three rewards are the same (for town materials)... 42 bricks all three of them.

[Andreas Spanakis]

Oh i get what you say. You mean the "Explorer's Boon". This one states for increased rewards.

[Darnavir]

Area booster increases clears gained per real clear. It multiplies both so the materials become (1 + area booster level)*area reward. I assume explorer's boon does the same and is additive with it.
Map milestoner WA milestone increases town materials gained per area difficulty gained by prestige. If you didn't get any, higher difficulty won't give you more materials.

AS far as i can see, Explorer's Boon multiplier rewards by its level (of course i have it only in level 1 in a single area at the moment)

And yes, I have not put points in WA Area booster yet.

A little different from OP, but along the same lines of town mats.

Does anyone know where to find materials like Sapphire Shards and Basalt Bricks? I currently can't find a way to get them in-game, they don't seem to drop. Seems like theyre for a future update?

I put one point in it after first WA, it doubles income for like 1 point, was worth it, got it to 4 after second WA.

[Ryuven Bazzi]

area booster multiplies it. i thought its just add 1 but- its surprisingly multiplies it which is soooooo essencial. so no point in playing the 1st WA too long.

Fairy Clothes might help with its Town Material Gain +%
That said, it requires LUK 200, so I haven't actually tried it yet.
