And there are also a few weekly quests you might want to consider, especially the PvP quest. Head over to your Weekly quests and type in the leapstone in the search bar, there are two Proving Grounds quests and they give 24 and 14 Life Leapstones respectively. It takes about less than 20 minutes to complete each of them. You can save one spot for the Boss Rush quest, you can still go for the Harmony Shards or other items you want for your weekly quest. 

3. Guardian Raid & Chaos Loots

Material islands and daily/weekly quests would be the widely used methods to farm T2 mats in LSOT AK, what else ways you can use? Guardian Raid and Chaos loots are the way to go. What you want to do is go to your Welcome Challenge, clear those Guardian Raids as quickly as you can to get those Life Leapstones, you can do them multiple times, the hardest Guardian is the fourth Guardian. Other Guardians are very easy and they give a massive boost to Leap Stones. For example, if you run a T2 3rd Guardian, you’ll get 4 leapstones per run, and if you run the 7th Guardian, which is pretty much the similar easy difficulty, you can get 9 leapstones per run, and these leapstones are tradable for exchanging LSOT AK gold. You will also get some Leap Stones from Chaos Dungeons as well, it’s about 5 stones per day per run. 

4. Cube & Boss Rush Tickets

When you want mats like Moon’s Breath and a lot more Leap Stones due to the costs of weapons, there are two ways to get additional items. The first one is going to be the cube, which gives you 25 non-tradable Moon’s Breath, and the Boss Rush gives you 56 non-tradable Leap Stones per run. To get those tickets, there are two ways to randomly drop them one is from a special monster in the chaos dungeon, the second one is actually from a chest, which you can purchase from the guild shop.

5. Buy from Cash Shop 

One of the cheapest ways to get LSOT AK materials is by buying from a cash shop. You can exchange cheap LSOT AK gold for gems and use those gems to buy the Leapstones and other things you want. There are lots of ways to get gold. Once you have gems or crystals, come over to the cash shop, if the price is right and you need a lot of Leap Stones, you can buy them. Make sure to check the cash shop for its rates compared to the rates in the marketplace to see which is cheaper. 

6. Ghost Ship and World Boss

You want to do the Ghost Ship and World Boss, you can get 16 Moon’s Breath per Ghost Ship at item level 960, but it is a little difficult. The World Boss at item level 880 will give you 6 Moon’s Breath each time, at 1040 the Sol Grande, will give you 10 Moon’s Breath, those are some of the bosses you can do every day if they appear on the calendar, if it's available, those spots will also give non-tradable 100 to 200 Destruction Stone and 400 to 800 Guardian Stones each kill.
