Use the Moonlight Quarry free quest as a bond farm by pairing Ciel with Koyan, always targeting the far-left enemy first, and spend Master Craft Essence support to keep Ciel at full HP if your setup needs it. The loop is built around a specific high-investment Ciel, with NP2 Ciel repeatedly called out as the safer requirement in the comments.
What this Moonlight Quarry bond farm is for
This guide is specifically for the Moonlight Quarry free quest in Ordeal Call 3. The focus is on bond farming—using a stable loop that lets you maximize bond points for your party, especially the backline. This approach is presented as a pre-release strategy, so details could change before launch. Players looking for general farming or boss strategies should refer to other guides.
What you need before you start
- Ciel and Koyan serve as the core loop.
- Comments repeatedly flag NP2 Ciel as the safer version for reliable clears on this node.
- High extra-class progress (via skills and append investment) and a strongly built Ciel are part of the practical requirements.
- The party's low cost makes this node attractive for bond farming; it leaves room for additional bond targets in the backline, maximizing efficiency.

prerequisites
- Ciel with significant investment (skills, append, extra-class progress)
- NP2 Ciel if you want consistent clears
- Koyan as party core or support
- Room for bond-filling backline units
Set up the Ciel and Koyan core
To run the loop, build your team around Ciel and Koyan as the primary duo. Either servant can be brought as support if your own roster is missing the ideal investment. The reason this loop is so bond-efficient is its low party cost, letting you fill backline slots with additional bond-target servants. The exact party setup is also where your Master Craft Essence choice will matter—select the one that provides healing or defensive support if your Ciel isn't sturdy enough for consistent looping.

steps
- Build the party around Ciel and Koyan as your main DPS/support combo.
- Use a friend support slot for Ciel or Koyan if your own investment is not enough.
- Fill the backline with low-cost servants for maximum bond gain.
- Choose your Master Craft Essence for sustain or extra damage based on your Ciel’s durability.
Use Master Craft Essence healing at the right time
After Koyan's HP drain effect triggers, you may need to restore Ciel’s HP to preserve her maximum HP bonus for damage. Use your Master Craft Essence healing skill at this juncture—the bonus is necessary for dealing consistent damage and maintaining the loop. This heal can also interact with any ATK boost triggered via command spell recovery if you are running the line with Storm Pods and command spell cycles. Accounts with stronger, more durable Ciel may not always need this step.

Attack the far-left enemy first
The loop’s target order is integral: always open by attacking the far-left enemy. The strategy—both for maximizing bond gain and completing the node efficiently—relies on this specific opening. If your Ciel’s investment doesn’t hit the damage threshold, you may need an extra turn to clean up the rest of the enemies.

steps
- Always open on the far-left enemy in wave one.
- Build your attack chain around that target, adjusting for cleanup turns if needed.
- The fixed target order makes the loop stable for bond farming.
Free quest bond farming choices for weaker accounts
If your account is missing some investment—NP2 Ciel, full append slots, or skill levels—the run can still work as a bond farm by using the support system and accepting extra cleanup turns. The low-cost core is flexible enough that even weaker accounts can benefit by running the loop with additional bond targets in the backline. Some players report success with less investment, but the repeated recommendation is to treat NP2 Ciel and high extra-class progress as the practical threshold. If your damage falls short, plan for a cleanup turn.

Fallback routes for weaker accounts
Choose the support core and backline bond targets if you lack NP2 Ciel, append investment, or skill coverage. Lower investment can still complete the node, but expect to need cleanup turns and less consistent results.
Also worth knowing
- Storm Pod and command spell combo: This setup relies on using Storm Pod clears and command spell healing to offset Koyan’s HP drain and keep Ciel's max-HP bonus active.
- Two-turn clear possibility: The loop can sometimes be tightened into a two-turn clear with the same pieces if your damage rolls are high enough.
- Consistent clears need high investment: Lower-investment Ciel builds can still work, but NP2 Ciel, substantial append investment, and strong extra-class progress are flagged as the real threshold for stable farming.
- Alternative bond farming cores: Other servant cores can also farm Moonlight Quarry, but the Ciel and Koyan duo is viewed as the most cost-efficient way to maximize bond gains for your backline.
