Tower of Fantasy‘s abandoned ruins conceal precious chests for intrepid explorers. Among them is the vine-covered Ruin A-03, housing two chests with valuable gear enhancement materials. This guide will lead you directly to their locations while sharing expert tips to overcome A-03‘s dangers.
Introduction to Ruins and Chests
The ancient ruins scattered across Aida hold remnants of past civilizations that met their demise from the Calamity. These derelict towers, laboratories and settlements are now inhabited by wildlife and patrolled by robots.
Despite the dangers, ruins offer chests containing rare materials that make braving them worthwhile:
| Chest Type | Common Contents | Respawn Time |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Battery Fragments, Data Packs | 3 days |
| Luxurious | Weapon/Equipment Batteries, Matrix Data Packs | 7 days |
| Ruin | Weapon/Equipment Batteries, Matrix Data Packs | 14 days |

With rarer crafting materials, gear upgrade components and simulacrum data items, ruin chests are priority targets for resource-hungry wanderers.
Why Visit Ruin Zone A-03
Relative to other ruins, Zone A-03‘s chest rewards provide moderately valuable progression materials:
- Weapon Battery II – Raises weapon levels, strengthening traits/attributes
- Matrix Data Pack II – Upgrades simulacrum modules with bonuses
These will help upgrade your capabilities faster than standard chest drops. While A-03‘s contents are not as potent as high-level C and B ruins, it‘s much safer at lower World Levels.
