Like the past PvP Series, you can expect to earn new Mounts, Minions, Emotes, and Adventure Plate customization options when leveling your Malmstones up, making your efforts in the crucible against other players well worth it.
Series 4 PvP Overview
Before we dive into the rewards you can expect from the Series 4 Malmstones, let's review how much Malmstone EXP is needed to complete it and obtain all the unique items for this Series.
Series 4 EXP Chart
Series Malmstones Levels
Experience Needed
Levels 1 > 4
2,000 EXP Per Level
Levels 5 > 9
3,000 EXP Per Level
Levels 10 > 14
4,000 EXP Per Level
Levels 15 > 19
5,500 EXP Per Level
Levels 20 > 24
7,500 EXP Per Level
Levels 25 > 29
10,000 EXP Per Level
Level 30+
20,000 EXP Per Level
Much like all the other seasons, there are only five out of the 30 Malmstone Levels that offer unique rewards, with the rest of them earning you Trophy Crystals, which can be exchanged for gear by visiting the Crystal Quartermaster in the Wolve's Den Pier (X:4.4, Y:6.1).
Once you obtain Level 30 on your Series Malmstone, you can continue earning 5,000 Trophy Crystals each time you accrue 20,000 EXP. However, Level 25 will grant you the last unique item of the Series, allowing you to stop your grind there if you don't care for or need Trophy Crystals.
Claiming Series 3 Rewards
Lastly, if you have any unclaimed rewards from Series 3, you can still acquire them by selecting the "Previous Series" option in the top-left corner of the Series Malmstone page. If you have nothing to claim, this option will not be available to you.
All previous Series rewards will be available later, but when, where, and how you obtain them are still unknown. So, if you missed out on some of the awesome items that were part of past Malmstones, you can still get them at some point in the future.
Series 4 Malmstone Rewards
As we outlined above, there are only five items for you to earn in Series 4, as the rest will be Trophy Crystals that you can exchange for unique gear in the Wolve's Den Pier. This Series offers unique Emote, Mount, Minion, and Adventure Plate customization options, which you can find more about below!
Level 5 Malmstone Reward
Our first Malmstone Reward is the Ballroom Etiquette - Heartfelt Sincerety Emote, which has your character place their hand over their heart while offering their most profound gratitude or condolences to whoever their target is. This becomes available to you at Level 5!
Levels 10 And 20 Malmstone Rewards
Framer Kits are the items you receive at Malmstone Levels 10 and 20, with Aramitama Framer's Kit becoming available at Level 10 and Nigimitama Framer's Kit at Level 20, respectively.
Aramitama's Framer Kit showcases a harsh green wave of water acting as a backdrop to the rage of a fighter, making it a perfect fit for those that love combat. The Nigimitama's Framer Kit represents a calming blue wave, making it a must-have for those that mastered the art of patience and collectiveness!
Level 15 Malmstone Reward
Malmstone Level 15 is where we get our Rubellite Weapon Minion, which fans of Final Fantasy 7 will instantly recognize as the Ruby Weapon, with its deep red body, sharp claws, and intimidating look. This is a must-have for fans of Final Fantasy 7!
Level 25 Malmstone Reward
Our last reward at Malmstone Level 25 is the Traveling Supporter Identification Key which grants you the Traveling Supporter Mount on use, making it an excellent way to cap off your Series 4 grind. This odd bipedal machina with a bright smile and long ears will make all your grinding worth it!
How To Earn Series EXP
Finally, you may want to know the best ways to earn Series EXP to quickly obtain the new and wonderful items outlined in the section above. Before we do this, let's review what each mode offers regarding Series EXP payout for winning and losing.
PvP Series EXP Chart
PvP Mode
Winning
Losing
Crystalline Conflict
900 EXP
700 EXP
Rival Wings
1,250 EXP
750 EXP
Frontlines
1,500 EXP
1,250 EXP
As you can see, longer modes such as Frontlines and Rival Wings offer more EXP per match, whether you win or lose, than Crystalline Conflict. But there's a huge caveat here: You can complete roughly two to three Crystalline Conflict matches in the span it takes to finish one of the others, making it the best option for farming Series EXP.
In addition to that, completing your Daily PvP Roulettes will also grant you lots of needed Series EXP, so be sure to do those as well if you want to level up your Series Malmstones faster. Lastly, while Crystalline Conflict is the best mode for quick EXP, you don't have to grind it if you don't enjoy it, just play what you like, and you will reach Level 25 in no time!
