Manuscripts of Ballads
The Manuscripts of Ballads are an event currency in Arknights.
Few who know these folksongs are able to put them in writing, while those who pen Taran history wouldn't go out of their way to listen. But there'll always be people devoted to compiling the scattered culture of Tara, say the merchants, and it's a business that's gone on for several centuries.
Usage[edit]
These manuscripts of Taran ballads can be obtained and exchanged for various items at the River Valley Caravan during What the Firelight Casts.
How to obtain[edit]
Manuscripts of Ballads are awarded as the first clear reward of all FC operations and the regular drop of Swamp in the Mists operations, and from Search Warrant from the City Council missions.
The best FC operations to farm Manuscripts of Ballads are FC-5, FC-6, and FC-7 due to their above-average 
Sugar Pack, 
Oriron Cluster, and 
Semi-Synthetic Solvent drop rates, respectively.
