Gratitude Tickets can be earned by completing event quests during the Grand Appreciation Fest event. Events rotate every two weeks, and you'll know if the Grand Appreciation Fest is ongoing if the Gathering Hub is filled with paper lanterns. If the event is active, you'll get one Gratitude Ticket every day when you login, and you'll get more if you finish bounties.
Purecrystals have a chance to drop from blue mining outcrops in any of the Master Rank maps, while Gracium can only be mined from outcrops in Hoarfrost Reach. Either go mine them yourself or use Tailrider Safari to passively gather them.
Monster Toughbones can be gathered from any large Master rank monster or via Tailrider Safari runs. You can get some just by farming normally, but if you really need to get more bones quickly and easily, you can hunt a Great Jagras in the optional Great Jagras Returns quest.
The Astral Alpha set gives the following skills:
- Critical Boost 2
- Flinch Free 2
- Weakness Exploit 2
- Wide Range 3
- Diving Blessing 2
Arguably the most important piece of this set is the Astral Cloth piece, which gives two points of Critical Boost. This skill increases the damage of your critical strikes to 135% at Level 2, significantly increasing the value of weapons with Affinity. Astral Cloth Alpha also has one small gem slot for a bit of extra buildcrafting flexibility. It's a great armor piece to have if you're looking to build an offensive armor set.
