Following the release of The Shadowgrapher Update, Operation Atramentum is now live, and there are plenty of rewards to be obtained for grinding.
During Operation Atramentum, players may farm Nightmare Tatters, which can later be used to make specific purchases from Aspirant Zorba.
Progress with collecting Nightmare Tatters also provides certain unlocks for your clan, which can easily be reached when several players participate in the event.
How To Start Operation Atramentum?
Operation Atramentum began on April 2, 2026, and will continue until April 23, 2026, which is more than enough time to get all the rewards available.
Once the event starts, you will be able to obtain Nightmare Tatters as a reward from Follie’s Hunt (Operation Atramentum) and Nightmare Missions.
How To Get Nightmare Tatters?
Nightmare Tatters can be obtained in two ways: either by completing the Operation: Atramentum variant of Follie’s Hunt (Vesper Relay) on Venus or from Nightmare Missions.
1) Operation Atramentum Mission (Follie’s Hunt)
During the Operation Atramentum Event, Follie’s Hunt will have another variant that you can grind, which allows you to collect Nightmare Tatters in multiple ways.
One way is to find Medallions in the mission, and another is to simply complete the objectives to finish the missions, providing you with rewards afterward, including Nightmare Tatters.
Playing with others will allow you to quickly scout the area in search of Medallions, which provide all members with Nightmare Tatters.
2) Nightmare Missions
Nightmare Missions have been around for a long time, and these often rotate amongst the many planets in the system, allowing you to do several of them from time to time.
You may obtain Nightmare Tatters by simply completing these missions, providing you with 10 Nightmare Tatters upon completion for the first time.
Once you have no more Nightmare Missions to do, it would be best to continue with the Operation Atramentum variant of Follie’s Hunt until they are available again.
Operation Atramentum Rewards
Using the Nightmare Tatters are used to purchase items from Aspirant Zorba in the “Browse Operation Atramentum Wares” menu, which is accessible when speaking to him.
It is here that you may find new and returning items, which will be available for purchase until the event comes to an end.
There are 3 Ephemeras (Primatura, Pareidola, and Liftbalon) that can later be purchased once you have collected enough Nightmare Tatters to progress with the event.

Verdict

The combination of Follie’s Hunt and Nightmare Missions ensures that you always have a reliable method to progress, especially when you rotate between both activities to avoid downtime.
With a large list of cosmetics, items, and progression rewards tied to consistent farming, the event offers excellent value and gives players plenty of reasons to participate until it ends.
