To get Hogyoku Fragments in Type Soul, the best and fastest methods currently are:
- Boss Raid Game Mode: Go to Karakura Town and talk to Kisuke, the NPC on a bench with a striped hat. Queue for the Boss Raid, where you and two others face one of three bosses: Starkk, Almighty, or Head Captain of the Gotei 13. Defeating these bosses rewards you with Hogyoku Fragments along with other rare items. This is the fastest way to farm Hogyoku Fragments. Being a healer in this mode helps with successful runs, especially against harder bosses.
- Ranked Mode: Reaching Silver 1 rank or higher in Ranked mode gives a chance to get Hogyoku Fragments. The amount increases as you rank higher. This method requires PvP skill but provides steady fragments.
- Trading: Players often trade Hogyoku Fragments for Skill Boxes or other rare items obtained in raids. This is an easier, alternative option if you have valuable trade items.
- Faction Raids: While less efficient, you can also get Hogyoku Fragments occasionally from loot crates after faction raids.
Additional tips:
- You need 10 Hogyoku Fragments to progress in certain evolutions like becoming a Vizard or Letzt Stil.
- Be careful not to die while farming since you can drop Hogyoku Fragments upon death; store them safely if possible.
In summary, the fastest and most reliable way is farming the Boss Raid Game Mode through Kisuke in Karakura Town, supplemented by Ranked Mode and Trading for fragments.
