How to farm bicolor gems?

[Red Shoe Paul]

So like, running around Elpis all day is really starting to burn me out. I gotta farm up them gems because hurr durr animals that have skin on their models dont drop it durr hurr. Are there any lower level fates without level sync but do give bicolor gems?

If you're going for the stupid mount and/or fashion accessory you can always supplement the grind by purchasing some vouchers.

I didn't even hear about these vouchers until now. The mount really needs 500 of them?! 50000 gems divided by 12... Oh my god... This might be grind worse than relics. And here I thought that 60 fates per region was already bad. This is so insane. It would take years...!

Yeah the only people who are going to get are the multi gillionaires on each server.

I think Square Enix vastly overestimates how much people are willing to grind for something for years like that. Once you have everything to 90, no one is going to do FATEs in Endwalker zones anymore and that mount and fashion accessory will be forgotten.

These vouchers are in endwalker only, I believe. AND you need lv3 in ALL regions to unlock that shop. They cost 100 gems and you need 500 of them (vouchers) to get the rewards.

And you can also purchase them on the MB, too. But gonna cost a pretty penny.

Yeah. They've gone down in price at least. I sold a couple vouchers a few months ago for around 400k a piece.

Gotta keep people doing FATES Somehow, I guess.

i hope they rise BLU to 80 soon so we can farm FATEs in ShB solo faster, and keep a lookout for world boss fates in ShB and EW, they give 86 gems, and it would be nice if the Forlorn Maiden buff applied to gems too getting +50~250% gems

[CptMoobs]

Any FATE done in Shadowbringers or Endwalker zones will give gemstones. Pace yourself, if you turbo autism grind it you will burn yourself out. If you are gonna grind it your best course of action is to get at least a Light Party together. You get a small stat boost for each party member you bring, which lets you complete the FATEs easier and quicker.

Hey the Wivre is not stupid.
i own that mount and it took me over 2 weeks to get it.
Only about .4% of players have it.

The FATE grind is the only way.

The best way grind FATEs: Complete the game > Unlock flying in all areas > Join FATE runs with others.

While you're at it, you could rank up your Shared FATEs while collecting biColor Gemstones. The higher your FATE rank, the more items will be in the various FATE shops.
