I know how you feel. I’ve just gotten both Merlin and Waver to 5/5/10, and then realized I have to start this grind all over again for Castoria. I do not look forward to having to grind caster gems for three casters.

On the bright side, though, we’ll get Pure Crystals, which we can exchange for Castoria mats.
Who cares about whether it’s optional, I don’t wanna grind the expert gate again.
