Share-ready party report

Track per-player revives
Each player gets up to three revives during Hard Mode. These entries are manual and do not interact with the game.
Rise to the Challenge event shop
The event announcement lists 30 limited-period Resurrection Spiritstones for 25,000 Kina at Step 1 and another 30 for 50,000 Kina at Step 2. Step 2 unlocks after Step 1. Each step is per server per week, and the temporary stones are scheduled for removal on December 16.
Four-minute boss practice timer
Use a local wall-clock rehearsal when you pull. This is NOT a real in-game boss timer and cannot detect your fight or predict victory.
