Pixel Search Double Drops: Best Dungeon to Farm — NTE

Overview

The Pixel Search event gives double rewards for four anomaly zones: Houdinii’s Magic Stage, Houdinii’s Schemes, Bubble Gum Factory, and the Rabbit Hole. The event runs for a full week with a daily cap of 120 Character Pixels, adding up to a total of 840 pixels over the event period.

One thing to keep in mind: players who stockpiled D-Noise Solutions (stamina bottles) won’t get extra value here, since the double drops only apply to pixels spent in real time — not from stored bottles. The event also does not include boss fights, which is unfortunate given how gated boss materials are at higher Hunter levels.

I also made a video walkthrough if you’d like to follow along:

The Four Dungeons

Rabbit Hole — Skip It

The Rabbit Hole drops cartridges and currency for pulling modules (Console Sets). Both are worth having eventually, but farming them during this event is not recommended:

• Cartridge farming is RNG-heavy — you can’t guarantee useful rolls even with double drops.
• Modules are endgame gear meant to be farmed once your main teams are fully leveled. If you’re still building characters, farming modules now is premature.

The recommendation is to hold off on the Rabbit Hole until the event ends, unless you’re already at Hunter Level 45+ and actively building a second team.

Bubble Gum Factory & Houdinii’s Schemes — Low Priority

These two dungeons drop Arc ascension materials and Esper ability upgrade materials. They’re useful items, but not urgent — there are enough passive sources for these that spending your double-drop pixels here is not the most efficient play.

Houdinii’s Magic Stage — Best Choice

This is the dungeon worth prioritising. It drops hunter guides, dyes, and most importantly — Beetle Coins.

Beetle Coins are the main bottleneck when pushing characters from level 70 to 80. Leveling a character and their weapon to max alone costs roughly 1,371,750 Beetle Coins, and that number doesn’t include Esper abilities. A realistic estimate for a full level 70→80 upgrade is around 2.5 million Beetle Coins per character.

Beetle Coin sources are currently limited in the game, and converting Fons is not advisable since Fons has its own critical uses. This makes Houdinii’s Magic Stage the best place to dump all available pixels during the event.

Other sources for upgrade materials include selector boxes from Hunter Supplies and the Battle Pass. F2P players can still access these through the standard Hunter Supply rotation.

Recommendation

Spend all your double-drop pixels in Houdinii’s Magic Stage. Beetle Coins are the hardest resource to accumulate efficiently, and the level 70→80 wall makes them more valuable than any other drop available during this event.
