As of the Version 1.2.0 update, all Ascension materials are located in Story mode. The location of the materials is based both on the difficulty level and the enemy element. For a general list of where to find these materials, please see the Recommended Element Stages lists.
Along with all materials being available if they meet the criteria, a specific material is given a bonus drop rate per difficulty and stage. The following lists what the featured material is for each stage to help find the best location to find the material you are after. While no specific rates have been obtained, gathering materials at the highest difficulty and AP cost seems to have the best chance, provided the stage also has 3 waves.
Additionally, a list of where each item is featured in a 3-wave stage will be listed on the item's page.
