All 8 Grade 1 Crate Locations with Exact Coordinates

Grade 1 crates are your most valuable early-game targets since they’re often limited to one-time pickups. Here are all 8 locations with difficulty ratings:

Crate #Location & CoordinatesDifficulty
1Race Track area, left corner. Climb giant tree, jump to platform right. (-2024, 402, 1476)Easy
2From TP4 (510, 201, 1939), go left past Troubled Student NPC, right up cliffs to hidden cave. (846, 311, 2221)Easy
3Bottom edge beach, use trees to jump onto left mountain cliffs. (2797, 139, 2029)Easy
4From #3, go to beach rocks, climb rock #4 in sea. Needs many Air Jumps. (3304, 568, 211)Very Hard
5Mountain range middle top peak. Requires smart Air Jump usage. (912, 1112, 892)Very Hard
6Top right corner, climb topmost tree on mountain side. (1737, 631, 1466)Very Hard
7From TP3, follow mountain wall to waterfall, climb cliff behind to cave with Instructor NPC. (-363, 19, -1963)Very Easy
8From #7, exit cave, follow sandy path, jump at first wall, use right tree to mountain, find left cave entrance. (487, 141, 1155)Very Easy

Pro Tip: Start with Easy and Very Easy locations first. The Very Hard crates require significant Air Jump progression from the Vitality tree.

Optimal Farming Routes by Game Phase

Phase 1: Early Game (Set the Foundation)

Priority #1: Find and open every Grade 1 Crate you can. These are limited and offer the best early-game power spike.

Priority #2: Open every Grade 2 and 3 you see while traveling for base currency.

Priority #3: Do your Daily Quests for Supply Crates. Every. Single. Day.

Stop This Now: Mindlessly running around with no target. Pick a goal (Yen, a Fragment, etc.).

Phase 2: Mid Game (Build Your Efficient Loop)

Create a daily rotation:

  1. Knock out Daily Quests for guaranteed Supply Crates
  2. Run a quick world route for Grade 2/3 crates
  3. Check for Special Grade spawns if they’re on a timer in your server

This ensures progress even when your luck is bad.

Phase 3: Late Game (Targeted Farming)

Match your crate source to your build goal:

For Vows & Elemental Gear: Spam Jogo Raid. Only move up difficulty if your clear speed doesn’t drop significantly.

For Bindings & Raid Mats: Farm Toji Raid. Hard/Nightmare is only better if you succeed consistently; otherwise, Easy/Normal wins per hour are better.

For XP: Weave mini-bosses (for Cursed Crates) into your grind.

Advanced Farming Strategies

The AFK World Farm Method

One of the most efficient methods I’ve discovered involves AFK farming in specific world locations:

  1. Find a high-traffic Grade 2/3 spawn area
  2. Position yourself near multiple spawn points
  3. Stay AFK for 15-30 minute intervals
  4. Check back and collect any spawned crates
  5. Repeat the process

This works because world crates have respawn timers, and being present when they spawn ensures you don’t miss them.

Raid Efficiency Farming

For maximum raid crate efficiency:

  1. Time your raid completions – Many raids have internal cooldowns
  2. Join groups for faster clears – More raids per hour = more crates
  3. Focus on the highest difficulty you can clear consistently – Don’t struggle through Nightmare if Hard gives you better per-hour returns
  4. Rotate between raid types – Keep variety and target specific gear needs

Event Crate Farming

During special events (like Christmas/Halloween events):

  1. Event crates often have unique spawn patterns – Learn them quickly
  2. They typically despawn faster – Be ready to grab them immediately
  3. Event currencies are usually time-limited – Prioritize these during events
  4. Share information with your community – Event spawn locations are often community-discovered

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Skipping Grade 1 Crates

If they’re limited, these are your most valuable early-game action. Don’t ignore them for “better” activities.

2. Farming Without a Goal

Crates are tools. Need Yen? Farm Grade 2/3. Need Fragments? Target Grade 1/Special Grade. Be specific.

3. Jumping Into Hard/Nightmare Too Early

If your clear time doubles or you fail, your rewards per hour crash. Speed and consistency trump difficulty.

4. Ignoring Daily Quests

Yeah, they’re boring. But Supply Crates are a guaranteed pipeline to Vows and materials. Do them.

5. Missing Timed Spawns

If your server uses a timer for Special Grade crates, set an alarm. Missing the window is leaving free loot on the table.

6. Not Joining the Official Discord

The official Jujutsu Zero Discord is crucial for:

  • Instant code notifications
  • Live update announcements
  • Community farming groups
  • Latest patch notes and changes

Platform-Specific Considerations

PC Players

  • Use third-party tools to track spawn timers
  • Create macros for efficient farming routes
  • Take advantage of better graphics to spot crates from distance

Mobile Players

  • Focus on routes that don’t require precise platforming
  • Use touch-friendly farming spots
  • Consider using a controller for better precision

Console Players

  • Optimize for shorter, more efficient farming sessions
  • Use the quick travel system effectively
  • Focus on guaranteed sources like daily quests

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best crate for Domain Fragments?

The data shows Grade 1 at 2.6% is the best standard crate. For repeatable farming, the Special Grade crate is your next best bet, with reported rates between 1.8% and 4.5%.

What’s the best crate for Yen?

Special Grade for the big payouts (up to 30K). Grade 2 and 3 crates for consistent income as you play.

How do I get Iron fast?

  1. Supply Crates from dailies for steady drops (3.13% chance)
  2. Strengthened Crates from the Toji Raid for the highest odds (4.98% chance)
  3. Cursed Crates if you also need to level your gear XP (2.84% chance)

Are drop rates always the same?

They’re considered fixed by the community, but developers can change them anytime. The best practice is to glance at the in-game drop display (if available) after a major update.

Do Special Grade crates respawn?

Reports vary. Some say once per account, others report a timed spawn (e.g., every hour, despawns after 30 mins). Treat it as a premium scheduled target.

What’s the fastest way to get Lumens?

For early game, focus on Grade 1 crates (highest Lumen III rate at 15.5%). For consistent farming, Grade 2/3 crates provide steady Lumen income. For maximum efficiency, combine world crate farming with raid completions.

How often should I check for crate spawns?

For world crates (Grade 2/3), check every 10-15 minutes. For Special Grade, if your server uses timed spawns, check hourly at consistent times. For event crates, check every 5 minutes as they often have short spawn windows.
