If you picked Quincy as your faction in VV Ultimatum and you are staring at your screen wondering how to actually get your Schrift, you are in the right place. I spent weeks grinding through the Wandenreich progression path, and I put together this guide so you do not have to waste time on the same mistakes I made. This VV Ultimatum Quincy Schrift guide covers every step from hitting Level 25 all the way to unlocking your Schrift, including the exact materials you need, the boss fight that gates your final reward, and speed-farming tips that cut your grind time significantly.
The Quincy Schrift is your signature ability in VV Ultimatum. It defines your element, your Vollstandig transformation, and your late-game power ceiling. Without it, you are stuck using basic Spirit Weapon moves while every other Quincy on the server is raining elemental destruction. The good news is that the progression path is straightforward once you understand the order and the cooldown mechanics that trip up most players.

How Does Quincy Progression Work in VV Ultimatum?
Quincy progression in VV Ultimatum follows a strict four-stage pipeline that unlocks after you reach Level 25 and receive the Soldat Cap. From that point forward, your goal is to climb through the Wandenreich ranks by completing tasks, crafting gear, meditating for power, and defeating a boss that tests everything you have learned. Each stage feeds into the next, and you cannot skip any step.
The full progression order looks like this:
- Stage 1 – Lieutenant Missions: Complete tasks assigned by your Lieutenant to earn progression EXP and climb the early ranks.
- Stage 2 – Sanrei Glove: Gather three specific materials (Strange Essence, Frost Alloy, and the Broken Quincy Medallion) and craft the Sanrei Glove.
- Stage 3 – Letzt Stil: Meditate with the Sanrei Glove equipped to unlock the Letzt Stil transformation, which is required before you can attempt Schrift.
- Stage 4 – Schrift: Defeat the Securis boss and claim your Schrift, including 5 rerolls to get the element you want.
Most players complete the full chain in roughly 3 to 5 hours of focused play, though the Broken Quincy Medallion drop can extend that significantly if you get unlucky. The key bottleneck is almost always the material farming in Stage 2, so I will spend extra time on that section.
How to Complete Lieutenant Missions in VV Ultimatum
Lieutenant missions are the first real test of your Quincy progression, and they are also where most players get confused about the cooldown system. Here is exactly how they work.
Once you hit Level 25 and receive the Soldat Cap, head to the Wandenreich base and speak with the Lieutenant NPC. They will assign you a task, which is typically one of several types: defeating a certain number of enemies, collecting specific items, or traveling to a location. Each completed task rewards you with progression EXP and sometimes Soul Tokens.
Step-by-Step Lieutenant Mission Process
- Talk to the Lieutenant NPC at the Wandenreich base to receive your first task.
- Complete the objective as described. This might involve killing Hollows in a specific area, gathering items, or reaching a location.
- Return to the Lieutenant and report the task. This is critical — many players complete the objective but forget to go back and report it. You do not get credit until you report.
- Wait for the cooldown. There is a 5-minute cooldown between tasks. Use this time to grind regular enemies for EXP or farm materials you will need later.
- Pick up the next task and repeat the cycle.
You need to complete enough Lieutenant missions to fill your progression EXP bar. The exact number varies, but most players report needing between 8 and 12 missions total. The 5-minute cooldown is real time, not game time, so plan accordingly. A common mistake is standing around waiting — instead, use those gaps to start pre-farming Strange Essence or Frost Alloy so you have a head start on the Sanrei Glove.
One more thing: make sure you are reporting tasks back to the Lieutenant before trying to get a new one. The game does not auto-report. If you finish a task and immediately try to grab another, the NPC will just tell you that you have an active task. Report first, then wait the cooldown, then pick up the next one.
How to Get the Sanrei Glove in VV Ultimatum
After completing your Lieutenant missions and gaining enough progression EXP, your next milestone is crafting the Sanrei Glove. This item is essential because it is the gateway to Letzt Stil, which in turn is required for your Schrift. You need exactly three materials to craft it, and each one comes from a different source.
Here are the three Sanrei Glove materials:
- Strange Essence – Dropped by specific enemies in the Arctic Plains
- Frost Alloy – Found in the Arctic Plains region from environmental sources
- Broken Quincy Medallion – Rare drop from Archer-type enemies (approximately 1% drop rate)
The crafting NPC is located in the Wandenreich base. Once you have all three materials, interact with the crafting station and the Sanrei Glove will be added to your inventory. Now let me break down exactly how to farm each material efficiently.
How to Farm Strange Essence
Strange Essence drops from enemies in the Arctic Plains zone. The drop rate is moderate, so you should expect to spend 20 to 30 minutes farming for the amount you need. Focus on the higher-level enemies in this zone because they have better drop rates than the weaker ones near the entrance.
The most efficient farming method is to loop through the Arctic Plains in a circular route, killing every enemy you encounter. By the time you complete one full loop, the enemies at the start will have respawned. This creates a continuous farming cycle with no downtime. If you can group up with another Quincy player, you can split the zone and cover ground faster, though the drops are individual so there is no competition for materials.
How to Farm Frost Alloy
Frost Alloy is also found in the Arctic Plains, but it comes from environmental sources rather than enemy drops. Look for glowing nodes scattered throughout the zone. These nodes respawn on a timer, so learning their spawn locations is the key to farming Frost Alloy quickly.
I recommend marking the node locations mentally or on a notepad as you explore the Arctic Plains. There are usually 5 to 7 active nodes at any given time, and they respawn roughly every 3 to 4 minutes. Run a route that hits all the known node spots, and by the time you finish the circuit, the first ones will have respawned. This material is generally easier to get than Strange Essence because you do not need to fight anything for it.
How to Get the Broken Quincy Medallion
This is the material that breaks players. The Broken Quincy Medallion has an approximate 1% drop rate from Archer-type enemies, and that low chance means the time investment here is unpredictable. Some players get it within 10 minutes. Others grind for over an hour.
Archer enemies spawn in specific locations throughout the Arctic Plains and surrounding areas. Your best strategy is to find a cluster of Archer spawn points and farm them repeatedly. Do not waste time killing non-Archer enemies while hunting for this drop — focus exclusively on Archers to maximize your chances per hour.
A few tips that helped me: use a ranged Spirit Weapon to kill Archers faster from a distance, and equip any gear that boosts your item drop rate if you have access to it. The grind is painful, but it is the only gatekeeping material in the Sanrei Glove recipe, so push through it and you are nearly home free.
How to Unlock Letzt Stil in VV Ultimatum
With the Sanrei Glove in your inventory, you are ready to unlock Letzt Stil. This is the Quincy’s enhanced transformation state, and it serves as the bridge between the Sanrei Glove and your final Schrift unlock. The process involves meditation and Reiatsu management.
Here is the step-by-step process for unlocking Letzt Stil:
- Equip the Sanrei Glove from your inventory.
- Find a meditation spot. The game has designated meditation areas, typically located within the Wandenreich base or in quiet zones away from combat.
- Begin meditating. This is not an instant process — you need to remain in meditation until your Reiatsu reaches the required threshold.
- Once the meditation completes, you will receive the Letzt Stil ability. This unlocks your Meditate skill and grants you access to enhanced Spirit Weapon forms.
Letzt Stil is more than just a checkpoint on the way to Schrift. It is a powerful transformation in its own right that boosts your Reiatsu output and changes your Spirit Weapon into its Evolved form. The Evolved Spirit Weapon has a different moveset with higher damage and utility, which will be extremely helpful when you face the Securis boss in the next stage.
One important detail: the meditation process takes real time. You cannot speed it up by moving around or fighting. Stay in the meditation animation until the game confirms that Letzt Stil is unlocked. Most players report the meditation taking about 3 to 5 minutes, though your Reiatsu level can affect the duration slightly.
How Do You Get Your Schrift in VV Ultimatum?
This is the moment you have been working toward. After completing Lieutenant missions, crafting the Sanrei Glove, and unlocking Letzt Stil, the final step is the Securis boss fight. Defeating Securis grants you your Quincy Schrift, which is the core of your endgame power as a Quincy.
Here is the exact sequence to get your Schrift:
- Make sure Letzt Stil is fully unlocked and you have your Evolved Spirit Weapon equipped.
- Travel to the Securis boss arena. The location is marked on your map once you have completed the Letzt Stil unlock.
- Defeat the Securis boss in a solo encounter. This is a challenging fight that tests your movement, damage output, and resource management.
- After defeating Securis, interact with the reward prompt to receive your Schrift.
- You receive 5 free rerolls for your Schrift element, so use them wisely to get the element that fits your playstyle.
Securis Boss Strategy for Solo Players
The Securis boss is the biggest difficulty spike in the Quincy progression, and many players hit a wall here. The boss has high health, deals heavy damage, and has attack patterns that punish players who stand still or try to tank hits.
Here are the key strategies that work:
- Keep moving at all times. Securis has several wind-up attacks that deal massive damage if you are standing in range when they go off. Circle-strafe around the boss and dodge sideways when you see attack animations begin.
- Use your Evolved Spirit Weapon. The evolved form has better range and damage than your base weapon. Take advantage of the increased range to hit Securis while staying outside its close-range attack radius.
- Learn the attack patterns. Securis has a predictable rotation. After 2 or 3 attempts, you will start recognizing the visual tells for each attack. Use early attempts as learning runs rather than trying to win immediately.
- Manage your Reiatsu. Do not burn through your Reiatsu bar in the first 30 seconds. Pace your attacks and save enough Reiatsu for burst damage during the boss’s recovery windows.
- Heal between phases. If the fight has a phase transition, use that window to recover health and Reiatsu before the next phase begins.
Most players need 3 to 5 attempts to learn the fight well enough to win. If you are struggling, step back and focus on learning one attack pattern at a time rather than trying to perfect everything in a single run.
Schrift Elements and Rerolls
When you receive your Schrift, it comes with a randomly assigned element. Each element has different abilities and synergies with your Vollstandig form. You get 5 free rerolls, so you can try up to 6 different elements (your initial one plus 5 rerolls).
Since elements have different rarity tiers, you may want to save your rerolls for higher-rarity elements rather than settling for the first one you get. The community generally agrees that certain elements perform better for PvP while others excel in PvE content. Check the current meta discussions on the VV Ultimatum Discord or community forums for the latest element tier rankings before committing your rerolls.
Best Stats for Quincy in VV Ultimatum
Your stat build directly affects how smoothly the entire progression goes, not just your endgame performance. Here is the recommended stat priority for Quincy players in 2026.
Stat Priority (highest to lowest):
- Reiatsu: This is your most important stat. Reiatsu governs your Spirit Weapon damage, your ability sustain, and your Letzt Stil effectiveness. Max this first.
- Speed: Movement speed helps you dodge boss attacks, complete missions faster, and position yourself better in combat. A solid second priority.
- Health: You need enough health to survive a few hits from the Securis boss. Invest enough to not get one-shot, then focus on offense.
- Stamina: Useful for sustained combat but less critical than the stats above. Invest leftover points here.
If you already allocated stats differently and want to respec, you can use a Stat Reset Token to reallocate your points. These tokens are available through specific in-game activities, so check the shop or event rewards if your current build feels weak.
For the Securis boss fight specifically, having high Reiatsu and decent Speed will make the encounter significantly easier. A Quincy with maxed Reiatsu and good Speed can clear the boss 30 to 40 percent faster than one with a balanced or poorly allocated build.
Speed-Farming Tips to Unlock Your Quincy Schrift Faster
Most guides tell you what to do but not how to do it fast. Here are the specific strategies that shave hours off your Quincy progression based on what I learned from grinding through it and from community speedrun strategies.
Mission Cooldown Management
The 5-minute cooldown between Lieutenant missions is the biggest hidden time sink. Here is how to minimize wasted time:
- Always report your completed task immediately. Do not linger after finishing an objective.
- During the 5-minute cooldown, farm Strange Essence and Frost Alloy in the Arctic Plains. You will need these for the Sanrei Glove anyway, so you are multitasking.
- If you finish farming the Arctic Plains materials early during a cooldown, grind regular enemies for EXP. Every bit of leveling helps your stats.
Pre-Farm Materials During Missions
Do not wait until all Lieutenant missions are done to start farming Sanrei Glove materials. Start collecting Strange Essence and Frost Alloy during mission cooldowns. By the time you finish your mission chain, you may already have most of your materials ready. This alone can cut 30 to 45 minutes off your total progression time.
Broken Quincy Medallion Farming Efficiency
Since the Medallion has a 1% drop rate, this is where you either get lucky or spend a long time. To maximize your chances:
- Farm exclusively Archer enemies. Do not waste time on other enemy types.
- Use a ranged Spirit Weapon to kill Archers quickly without taking damage.
- Farm in short focused bursts of 15 to 20 minutes rather than marathon sessions. Short sessions keep your reaction time sharp and prevent burnout.
- If you have been grinding for over an hour with no drop, take a 10-minute break. Sometimes server-side luck mechanics seem to reset, and returning players often report getting the drop shortly after a break.
Estimated Timeline for Full Progression
Based on average player reports and my own experience, here is a rough timeline for completing the full Quincy Schrift unlock:
- Lieutenant Missions: 45 to 60 minutes (8 to 12 missions with cooldowns)
- Strange Essence + Frost Alloy: 30 to 45 minutes (can overlap with mission cooldowns)
- Broken Quincy Medallion: 15 minutes to 90 minutes (highly variable due to 1% drop rate)
- Letzt Stil Meditation: 5 to 10 minutes
- Securis Boss Fight: 15 to 30 minutes (including learning attempts)
Total estimated time: 2 to 4 hours with focused play and efficient farming. Players who pre-farm materials during mission cooldowns tend to finish closer to the 2-hour mark, while players who do each stage sequentially can take 4 hours or more.

To get your Quincy Schrift in VV Ultimatum, you must complete the full Quincy progression path: reach Level 25 and get the Soldat Cap, complete Lieutenant missions for progression EXP, craft the Sanrei Glove from Strange Essence, Frost Alloy, and the Broken Quincy Medallion, unlock Letzt Stil through meditation, and finally defeat the Securis boss. After defeating Securis, you receive your Schrift with 5 free element rerolls.
How long does it take to unlock Quincy Schrift in VV Ultimatum?
Unlocking the Quincy Schrift takes approximately 2 to 4 hours of focused gameplay. Lieutenant missions take 45 to 60 minutes, Sanrei Glove materials take 30 to 90 minutes depending on the Broken Quincy Medallion drop luck, Letzt Stil meditation takes 5 to 10 minutes, and the Securis boss fight takes 15 to 30 minutes including learning attempts. Pre-farming materials during mission cooldowns significantly reduces total time.
What is the Broken Quincy Medallion drop rate in VV Ultimatum?
The Broken Quincy Medallion has an approximate 1% drop rate from Archer-type enemies. This is the rarest material needed for the Sanrei Glove and the main bottleneck in Quincy progression. Focus exclusively on Archer enemies and use a ranged Spirit Weapon for the fastest farming. Some players get the drop in 10 minutes while others grind for over an hour.
How do I unlock Letzt Stil in VV Ultimatum?
To unlock Letzt Stil, equip the Sanrei Glove and meditate at a designated meditation spot. The meditation process takes 3 to 5 minutes of real time and requires you to remain in the meditation animation until completion. Letzt Stil unlocks your Evolved Spirit Weapon and the Meditate ability, both of which are essential for the Securis boss fight.
What are the best stats for a Quincy in VV Ultimatum?
The best stat priority for Quincy is Reiatsu first, Speed second, Health third, and Stamina last. Reiatsu directly increases your Spirit Weapon damage and Letzt Stil effectiveness. Speed helps with dodging during boss fights and mission completion. You need enough Health to survive a few hits from the Securis boss. Use a Stat Reset Token if you need to reallocate your points.
How do Lieutenant mission cooldowns work in VV Ultimatum?
Lieutenant missions have a 5-minute real-time cooldown between tasks. After completing and reporting a mission to the Lieutenant NPC, you must wait 5 minutes before picking up the next task. You cannot skip this cooldown. Use the downtime to farm Arctic Plains materials, grind enemies for EXP, or explore other areas. Remember to report your completed task before the cooldown starts, not after.
Wrapping Up Your VV Ultimatum Quincy Schrift Journey
Unlocking your VV Ultimatum Quincy Schrift is a grind, but it follows a clear path once you understand the progression order. Start with Lieutenant missions at Level 25, craft the Sanrei Glove from farmed materials, unlock Letzt Stil through meditation, and take down the Securis boss to claim your Schrift with 5 element rerolls. The whole process takes 2 to 4 hours if you stay focused and pre-farm materials during mission cooldowns.
The hardest parts are the Broken Quincy Medallion drop and the Securis boss fight. The Medallion is pure luck at 1%, so stay patient and farm efficiently. Securis is a skill check, so learn the patterns and you will get it within a few attempts. Once you have your Schrift, you unlock access to Vollstandig and the full suite of Quincy endgame abilities, which is where the faction really starts to shine.
