Lands of Plenty

Introduction
This is an exploration event with several stages of difficulty, completing them rewards you with a sword recipe, which can be crafted with materials obtained mostly from any exploration; Copper Ore, Lumber, etc. The highest reward, Shining Splendor, also requires event-only materials, Cavern Ore.

Guide
Sword crafting is done in multiple tiers. You can't simply craft the highest tier sword right away. To craft Shining Splendor, swords from previous tier, Superior Blade, are required, and so on. Note that Broadsword don't have to be crafted, they can be purchased for cheap in a couple of towns, including Town of Mitra.

Cavern Ore can only be obtained from the event in the PRO stage. It's important to farm enough Cavern Ore to craft however many Shining Splendor you are willing to make, as other material can be procured outside event and the crafting process can be done anytime.

Equipping Charm Bangle will reduce the amount of encounters and speed up explorations. Multiple instances of Reduce Encounter will stack, including one equipped by a friend unit.

Strategy

 * Cavern Ore can only be collected on PRO, giving you an average of 12 ores per run
 * PRO is vastly more difficult than ADV
 * Many grouped enemies, AoE abilities like Bladeblitz are recommended
 * There are 3 separate bosses with high defense and resistance
 * Magic damage like Hyperdrive (FFVI) is more effective than physical damage like Barrage
 * Their attack damage is not very high. Mitigate them with defense buff and attack debuff
 * Break abilities do work on all bosses, but they might be resisted about half of the time
 * Full Break counts as 4 separate breaks and may be resisted individually, but still highly recommended
 * Third boss can paralyze and blind, take caution if you are using mostly physical damage
 * MP restoration item such as Tent and Turbo Ether will be useful, you can use them in-between bosses
 * You can conserve MP and speed up a run by using Escape on all normal enemies and equipping Charm Bangle
 * Amoebozoa will use Osmose exactly after you use any spell. Thus you can either try and conserve MP by not using any spells, or you can beat him slowly with auto attack and at least one character using a spell.
