Well, howdy there, y’all! Let’s talk about gettin’ yer hands on them shiny Gold Quartz thingamajigs in that Persona 3 Reload game. Now, I ain’t no fancy gamer, but I’ve heard a thing or two from them young’uns, and I’ll tell ya what I know.

First off, them Gold Quartz ain’t just gonna jump out at ya like frogs in a pond after a rain. You gotta work for ’em, like churnin’ butter or hoein’ the fields. They say some strong shadow critters might drop ’em, but that’s like findin’ a needle in a haystack, I tell ya.

The Best Way to Find Gold Quartz

The real trick, from what I gather, is huntin’ down them green chests. They’re like hidden treasures, ya see? Them chests mostly hang out in what they call “Monad Doors.” Now, these doors, they’re kinda shifty, appearin’ here and there, all random-like. It’s like lookin’ for mushrooms in the woods after a good rain, ya never know where they’ll pop up.

• Look for Green Chests: Them green chests in the Monad Doors are your best bet.
• Fight Glowing Enemies: Some folks say fightin’ them glowin’ enemies in the Adamah part of Tartarus, that’s way up there, floors 235 to 250 they say, might get you a Gold Quartz. But be warned, them critters are meaner than a hornet’s nest, and they’ll sting ya good if you ain’t careful. Could wipe out your whole party faster than a twister through a trailer park.

Other Ways to Get Gold Quartz, If You’re Lucky

Now, if you’re feelin’ lucky, like you just found a four-leaf clover, you can try gamblin’ yer fortune. I ain’t much for gamblin’, myself. Too risky for my taste, like bettin’ the farm on a horse race. But some folks say with that Devil Arcana thingy, gettin’ Gold Quartz is as easy as pie. Don’t ask me what an Arcana is, though. Sounds like somethin’ them city folk made up.

And if you’re really in a pinch, like needin’ sugar for a pecan pie and the store’s closed, you can go tradin’. There’s this place called Mayoido Antiques, and they’ll take four Diamonds for one Gold Quartz. Now where you get them Diamonds, that’s a whole ‘nother story, ain’t it?

Trading for Gold Quartz – A Bit of Bartering Never Hurt

Seems like you can do some tradin’ at the antique store too. They say you can trade some other rocks, like Topaz or Black Quartz, to get Silver Quartz and then maybe, just maybe, you can work your way up to Gold Quartz. It’s like tradin’ chickens for a goat, then the goat for a cow, ya know?

• Trade at Mayoido Antiques: Four Diamonds will get you one Gold Quartz.
• Trade Topaz or Black Quartz: It’s a roundabout way, but you can trade five Topaz or three Black Quartz for a Silver Quartz, and maybe use that somehow.
• Check the Nightclub: They say some fella in the nightclub sells Topaz, so that might be a place to start if you’re lookin’ to wheel and deal.

Patience is a Virtue – Like Waitin’ for the Harvest

One thing them young’uns keep sayin’ is you gotta be patient. Gettin’ Gold Quartz ain’t like pickin’ berries, it takes time and a bit of skill. Just like waitin’ for the crops to grow, you gotta put in the effort and not get discouraged if it don’t happen right away.

Some Other Places Folks Mention – Rumors and Such

I’ve heard whispers about headin’ to the arcade on certain days to boost your charm. Apparently, that charm stuff helps with gettin’ those Devil Arcana things workin’ for ya. And somethin’ about a cafe in the same mall? Sounds like a lot of runnin’ around to me, but hey, whatever works.

There’s also talk about some request, number 79 somethin’, about visitin’ a shrine. I ain’t sure how that helps with gettin’ Gold Quartz, but maybe it’s like prayin’ for rain, ya gotta ask for what ya need.

And last but not least, they say the last area of Tartarus is a good spot to look, or maybe those Monad doors near it. Tartarus sounds like a scary place though, all dark and full of monsters. Reminds me of that old abandoned barn down the road, always gives me the shivers.

Well, that’s all I know about gettin’ them Gold Quartz thingamajigs. Hope it helps ya out. Remember, patience is key, and keep an eye out for them green chests. Good luck, and happy huntin’! And don’t go wanderin’ into any dark holes without a good flashlight, ya hear?
