Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to Gold Rush *Queue intro music from Game Theory*

It is finally here! Though since this is our first I have absolutely no idea which set of maps we will get. So I've just decided to go with the first set, and assume they are changing the two potential problem units. Though they will still be including in the guide.

ETA: 28/12/2015

Rewards

Now since this is a Gold Rush you'll be getting your rewards by getting all the drops on each map. In other words the rewards are completion reward. Just like the Silvers you get from story maps as completion rewards. However, there are more rewards than those.

If we do happen to be going in order. You'll receive an Additional SC for every map you 3★. This means there is a total 22 possible SC from this event.

Comments about the event

Really just wrote the guide assuming they would simply replace Bella and Claire in the first Gold Rush. However, note that the Third Gold Rush is also possible. In which case I'll change this up asap.

Honestly though this should be free gold units and SC for everyone. Not hard at all. Enjoy

well , very excited for my first account. That one lacks both a tank (other then leanne) and a princess. So bernice and themis are welcome aditions. Less excited about this for my second acount , since i do have both. Still , golds are golds

If this is the lineup for the golds we get during this, I'm already loving it. Having some gold armors would help out since I'm havin to rely on Maribel alittle too much at times when I need a hefty tank and her nature of 'only a good unit when skill is on' came up during the last event where too many dolls were cutting into her without her skill active so I had to micromanage that.

Also, a Iris for that CR and Fedora to replace Dorca. This pleases me.

Just leveled up to 160 yesterday, thinking that the +1 stamina was just one level after. Oh boy am I going to regret it. Oh well, whatever.

Estimated duration taking DMM into account? One or two weeks?

Going to have to expand my box though, so many new goldies for my team (though many of them will be dupes). Glad to have tried one premium summon yesterday though (despite already having Sakuya, Lyla and Monica and found myself with a shining Gellius).

they do it because gold rush starts todays , so u might want to use your stamina on that

gold rush can be done at any time of the week. I'd go for monday daily.
edit: looks like the developers found a great reason to extend their breaks. by extend gold rush from 1 week to 2. more breaks for us. but I guess I get time to level up my new bernice/fedora and maybe upgrade Iris for CR/SU, even though it wouldnt be 100% =/
also, 11 maps, 11 golds, but they switched out 2 loli gold archers for stray and julian. I guess I'm ok with that.

I was excited about this event.... then I managed 2 total drops from 7 runs, and they were both the same fairy of iron. I guess this is one of those events where you have to dump lots of SC into refills.

I got 1 iron from 12 stamina (wasn't quite full, overused it a bit last night and was missing 4 points this morning).

Rates seem super-low.

Is it just me or nutaku's drop rate is significantly lower than dmm's?

soranokira
12-28-2015, 07:00 AM
who knows, but seriously you guys shouldnt be thinking of sinking SCs. you won't need every god damn gold, and we have 2 weeks to farm them. prioritizing monday/thursday daily is more important.
and fyi, dmm aigis only has 1 week for their gold rush. extending this event to 2 weeks is simply developer way of giving us a longer break. still pissed off at no event for christmas though.

well, i've got 1 plt archer and silver archer already but only silver mage so that gold old guy looks good but 2 gold archers :( a little disappointed, they can just give us another soldier instead, and what can that iron soul be used for?

Actually dmm gold rushes don't have a specific amount of days they run for. They get one new map a day and they've been anywhere from 7-12 days long. This specific GR was 11 days long(7 on it's revival) so there is a bit more extra time to farm. Whether dailies or gold units are a priority is personal preference though. The drop rates are just as bad on dmm though.

I think I absorbed most of everyone else's luck for today.

Took two runs before I got all the spirit drops and a Julian clone to throw into him. It is amusing though when you can sneeze in a map's general direction and watch it fall over.

yeah just noticed, it was my bad because I saw the release pace of the revival and thought it was the one for the initial gold rush.
you're right on the preference, but it is clear from this that we're actually given a break to farm for resources, no different from a star rush, yet everyone throws stamina away on rushing event WHEN THERE IS NO CLEAR NEED TO DO SO.
I'm out of pro-break team from now on. screw breaks, nutaku aigis doesn't need them.
(I'm referring to those who would benefit from breaks and those on the pro-break team skipping monday daily in favor of event even though they likely need gold and exp armors)

This was like the 4th or so event on the JP version so it should be easy for anyone.

I don't blame the pro break people for their stance. I mean the dev team gave us that pace at the beginning so people that aren't familiar with the JP version may have assumed breaks were always going to be thing.
That being said I also don't think they're necessary and people who don't want to spend money are likely just going to have to adapt and set their priorities.

Not sure how others do it , but i can talk for myself. I assumed i would only need a couple runs to complete th edrop and then do dailies. That was the case on 1 account. Got my julian , then i started doing gold dailies. Standing at 17 gold armors right now and 1 plat.
The other account was unlucky , and while i do need the gold , this is also the older account that already has a maxed core team , so i can skip a whole monday daily.

Also , i should remind you that the "pro breaks" team asked for breaks between real events in a period of time when we didn't got no gold rush , no star events , no nothing. Personally , i'm okay with a new event right after this one , since we had a pretty long break coupled with a gold rush. We're not supporting months long breaks either in case you missunderstood.

EDIT. PS: there is also the fact that rng can be a bitch. Are you certain you will have the luck/stamina to get all the units , assuming you skip a couple of days ? I am not for 1. I've had terrible luck at times and honestly speaking ...i'd rather drop 70-100k i usually make in a monday and be certain i manage to get all the units , then get pissed that i don't have enough stamina for that on the last days. I think a gold unit is worth more then 100k , don't you ?

I agree with Lolix, I would rather miss out on 100k gold (with my luck I wouldn't even get a plat armor) than miss out on a gold unit. At the moment I'm 20 stam in and I still haven't gotten the completion reward.

Took me 26 Stamina to get enough drops for Julian. The silver fairy just wouldn't drop for me. I agree with previous posts the drop rate is pretty awful.

The worst part... I already have Julian and I don't use him, nor can I use him for CC.

You can either cc him and use for skill up on Katie/Jerome if you use, or use for awakening when it finally comes out over here.

I was thinking of using for Katie to hopefully make her cheaper (plus XP as part of it). Seems that would be the best course of action right now. Thanks for posting as it helped with seeing my options.

I don't regret burning 1 SC to get him as its freed up the rest of today's stamina to go gold/XP farming. 1 SC for a gold unit is a bargain, especially when I was given the SC by 3 starring the map.

except there is no need to get all the gold units. not all of them are necessary and some of them can be skipped, like garrett (since there's bernice) and iris (good to have but not critical since you're only gonna be using her as CR/SU fodder)
but we already gotten 3 more days then the jp, so there's no point in not farming monday daily, especially for those newbies who're struggling to catch up and could do with more gold to level units through RtR and exp armors for their higher level units. 14 days instead of 11 is literally a break thrown in our faces. we used to ask for breaks so we could farm resources, but now a break is given to us and we don't farm for resources?

also, under your 'miss 70~100k' logic, you'd also be willing to miss thursday daily for thursday's map which would result in newbies delaying their spica/saki.
trying to rush up a julian right on 1st day even though we have 14 days is pretty stupid, IMO. especially for those don't have the luxury of actually doing so.

I actually wasn't going to skip Thursday because demon crystals are much more useful then 100k gold. Also 28 stam in still no completion reward.

Except you're assuming things. The fact that i'm willing to skip gold , doesn't mean that i'm willing to skip demon crystals. That being said , i don't understand your weird fixation on saki. She is hardly a high priority.
Also , yes , i agree that garret is a crap unit , but you know what ? I have 1 account with literally only leanne as a main tank. And we both know that most events right now will require at least 2 decent tanks. Garret is crap compared to bernice , but even he is better then nothing.
I can't believe that you're actualy thinking that newbies are better off with 100k gold and 30 dcs (hell , they probably aren't even able to do teh hard dailies for DCs if they are newbies , but let's assume they do) then gold units , no matter how bad those are. Oh , and if we're honest now , the only really bad 1 is probably garret. The rest are at least decent

So let me get this one straight, needed around 20 stamina to get Julian but only needed 4 to get Garret? Should have honestly went for Monday daily as many of you suggested but oh well, I'm not in dire need of exp cans or money at the moment so it's not that critical. Will stock up on affection items today instead.

Silver fairies are actually a thing people, don't give up!

trying to rush up a julian right on 1st day even though we have 14 days is pretty stupid, IMO. especially for those don't have the luxury of actually doing so.

Let me explain the logic of why I did it. In the game its advertised as a Gold Rush where a new map with a gold unit is released every day. In daily events you have a single day to complete as much as you can, then it resets to the next day's maps. I thought that was what was going to happen in the gold rush event - you get one day per gold unit to get it and if you miss it you lose it. Its a rush after all, you get it fast while you can.

Now I know its not like that. The second day has ticked over and the first day map is still there. I did not know that before and I didn't see anyone say anywhere that its how it actually works.

From here on I do what I can each day and maybe take breaks to farm dailies where needed. The sense of urgency the event implied is not as bad. Lesson learned.

Also 36 stam on the first map still no completion, second map took only 4 stam though so that's nice.

I got the same read as you from checking out iceinhell's blog as well. Seems like it might only last a day, but I read some posts at the forum saying other wise and i decided to risk it because julian was not high on my list compared to 300k gold. 300 gold = 2+ CC which i really need to form my final core team.

lolix
12-29-2015, 07:02 PM
300k gold seems a bit much , and would require 50 armors. Assuming you get a max of 42 stamina naturally , that's 14 runs. Probably 12-13 realistically speaking since you won't have the charisma. And that's assuming you start at 18 stamina (lvl 200) right at the dayroll , and then use 24 more stamina untill the next dayroll (you probably won't use 24 , but 23 because the next dayroll will happen 1-2 minutes before you get your 24th stamina point). Anyway , assuming you're not lvl 200 , you're going to do 10-11 runs. You would have to get 5 armors in almost each run to get to 300k mate. Getting 200k in a day should be quite good.


That being said , it depends on how much you need thhhe gold , and how much you prize the gold units. As i pointed out , rng can be a bitch. You can get all the gold armors in 1 run , and you can get 0 the next one. The same can happen with the spirit drops in this gold rush , but the spirits have way lower drop rates.
In the end , you don't have to get all the gold units i guess , but if i were to chose , i'd still take a gold unit (even if it's garret >> which is by far the worst gold unit we have in this gold rush ) over 300k gold.
That being said , i'm not saying that my way is the right one. Hell , it might actually be the worse way of doing things , but i don't think that it's worth beating youself up over losing 1 day of dailies. I'n the end it's all rng. For example , i got julien after 4 runs and i went doing dailies on 1 account. The other got julien after 11 runs , and i still got to do a couple runs of dailies as well. Others haven't gotten it even after 20 runs. It's all about luck

Only took me 10 stamina to get Garret. I can see it being completely random like that all week going up and down.

I only have Leeanne at 50CC30 so 2 Heavy Infantry in this event is a godsend for me even if one is crap. By the sounds of it I'm better off waiting for Bernice and levelling/CCing her. I have a spare Leeanne to CC her with.

After seeing the wikia its clear some units I don't really need as I already have them. Handy for CR/Skill up though. I guess those ones are the ones I leave until last in case I don't get them in time.

what really sucks are most of them are in the early stages of the event, such as garrett on 2nd day, iris on 3rd or 4th (lazy to check), while all the probably more needed units are at the back, =/
so for example today if we dont intend to farm garrett, there's only julian to farm, meh. so if we already managed to get julian, might as well just get garrett with the spare stamina or something

Need to really ask some people - Why are you trying to get every unit so desperately? I can understand if you actually use that unit, but something like Garret is probably the worst thing ever. If you spend a whole day trying to get that, would it not have been better to just farm phalanx 2 for aff items and fairies plus whatever story mode map you farm for exp?

Personally i got Julian since i use him, and want to CR/SU my main, and skip trying to get Garret, Kerry and Stray since i will never actually use them. I'll run those maps once for the SC and then never look back at them. Bernice and Betty i'll probably try to get since i want to CR/SU my mains.

2 factors:

Mainly just because for being a completionist and wanting to do something different. I have no real reason to farm that map for Garret since I already have him but never use him. I haven't had too much trouble with the past events, so I'm not too worried about leveling up. Although I did still do Monday and Thursday dailies.

For me this event is filling a couple of gaps in my base set up. I was missing a 2nd Heavy Infantry and Fedora will give me another better Healer besides Iris. The male units are useful as I can improve my male only team with them, even if I don't CC them. I think anything thats good for CR/skills will be handy too even if its low priority to acquire.

For a couple of days I was rather stuck regarding last drops. I managed to get Stray using only 8 stamina and just now Kerry dropped. I am only missing Iris who is low priority as I have her.

During farm events, where you farm and combine a lot of the same unit you can get a lot of exp if you use fairies. However, plat fairies are rather difficult to come by when you have 10ish plat units to feed to the main one, so using lower rarities for this is quite beneficial. I save my gold fairies from Phalanx 2 for this, and now also all the fairies from this event that i get.

not any gold, duh. it works the same way as the units you need for CC, just that now you need cc'd silvers or gold of that class instead of just silvers. there might be some variations in the AW fodder needed in terms of class as compared to the CC, but they tend to be largely similar. e.g. Archer AW requiring silver CC'd archers or gold archers on top of other stuff

Awakening is a game mechanic that is not yet included on the English version but It acts as a second Class Change that gives the Awakened unit a secondary ability, this ability is usually passive. Skill levels are not changed after Awakening, so if a unit has Increase Attack III before awakening they will have Increase Attack III after it as well, so no need to worry about re-leveling skills. Most units do not increase their Unit cost when Awakened, but Heavy armors' unit cost increase by 2 and Samurai's increase by 3, both these units will gain an additional Block . Ninja's cost dereases by 2 after AWK.

Requirements:

The target unit need to be of Gold or higher rarity

The Unit need to have 100% Affection/Trust

All units need a Spirit of Awakening, Purchased from the Trading Post for 100 Demon Crystals

Either 200k, 250k or 300k G, depending on if their rarity is Gold, Platinum or Black

3 Class specific Gold Units or CC'd Silver Units

A specific Type and amount of Awakening Orbs, gathered in special Daily missions not available at the moment. The Orbs needed vary in amount between 1(Gold), 2(Platinum) and 3(Black) and the Type depends on the Class, so far there have also been classes that need two types of Orbs

Right. Male maps might be tougher once (by some miracle) I get past war of magic. Guess I'll put him on the B-Team till I have time to level him above slightly useful (Think I'll stop bashing him, too)

You would be right. One of JP's most recent Gold Rush maps was male only:

been playing the dmm for a month and i must say although i am a free player, i am having a blast with the high drops of silver/plat units. My team there already is close to my nutaku's team.

for their units navigate here http://aigis.gcwiki.info/?%C1%B4%A5%E6%A5%CB%A5%C3%A5%C8%CC%BE%BE%CE%B0%EC% CD%F7

Yeah, the DMM roster is ginormous. We'll get there in time, even if Nutaku doesn't work out a way to add the lolis.

Agreed that they are a lot more generous with unit acquisition too. (Can't decide whether this is a JP nuance of rewarding the players to keep them playing, or simply a result of the game being further along in its lifespan than ours, and good units being easier to come by. Figure it's likely a mixture of both..) The flip side is that events like gold rush are a lot more difficult there now, because there's the expectation that most players have a squad full of ascended 99s. :<

Incidentally, in that video you can see the ascended prince too. He's apparently quite the beast.

not really. the average gold rush can still be cleared with a standard team of maxed silvers for the most part, except maybe the male-only mission. of course, all that under the assumption you skip the oni and the black knight. Metus's map can be cleared by a somewhat maxed level team w/o any AW units, though that 1 video I saw took 3 healers including chydis I think, to outheal Metus's dps.

Challenging the red oni and black knight is pretty much something akin to the God-tier map challenges and/or 4* challenges.

i cleared most of the maps in their latest gold rush with 4-cc-ed units (HAT+1). they made it so you can 1 star all gold rush maps with only basic units. Of course some maps have unique requirements - male only / no range units etc

an example of their maps for the latest gr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dsokq7tjec

Here is the common sense thought process for most units:
1. Do I have at least 3 CC-ed mages? If Yes, Go to 2.
2. Are all the mages in my current team stronger or equal to barb? (Gold and above) If Yes, Go to 3.
3. Is an awakened gold male unit with extended range worthless to me in the future? If Yes, you don't need him.

If any of the questions are "no", then use him.

Still hitting my head against a brick wall trying to get Iris.

Have only done the Betty run once to 3 star it and she's lower priority than Iris. I have Iris and Betty already but gold healer fodder is worth more to me.

Of course Iris drops the next battle I play after posting this. Onward to Betty! :D

My luck with gold fairy drops is horrible. It's always that drop in every map. I needed 3 whole days to finally get Betty...

10 minutes after writing my post a gold fairy dropped and now I have a third Iris. Note to self: complain more.

I can live with 1 week breaks after events, but I would complain this time if it really happens. We'll see if there really isn't some sort of event scheduled for tomorrow. The reason of my complain would be this break after having literally nothing special during this past Christmas (not even talking about some sort of event, but some extra SC or freebies. Literally nothing happened).

01-11-2016, 07:14 AM
exactly. I raged hard for that and went to DMM. at least DMM had Sarasa event shortly before christmas, even if they didnt have anything for christmas itself.
nutaku? nothing. at least SCs would've been better than nothing. but still you wouldn't expect a game to be eventless during a festive period; most games do the opposite.

I'm focusing on Monday Daily so looks like Betty is off the table for me. I don't mind as I already have her and a pile of Rogues I'm never going to use anyway.

Overall successful event for me though the grinding was such a time waster and slowed my XP gain to a slow crawl. I'd love to see another event with silver drops as I need so many silvers for CCing now.

01-11-2016, 06:38 PM
betty and cuterie are actually the 2 things you really need from this event (assuming you care to awaken betty) since her skill will give extra gold , and therefore is a usefull unit to have post AW.....but that's just my opinion

You people who asked for a break, you know who you are.

I was the biggest supporter of breaks between some events , but having breaks after star events or gold rush is not necesary , so i also believe it would've been better to start a new event directly. That being said , i kinda think that nutaku is giving us time to prepare for awakening , otherwise i see no point in this break right after a gold rush.


Regardless of the reasons , i don't care that much , since grinding AFF/unit xp is the same in my eyes as grinding event map for new units. After the first 2-3 runs (usually on the last map , since i rarely grinded lower maps) , i get bored of them anyway. It also gives me time to level up the more niche units and stock resources for future events , so not THAT big of a deal IMO. Still , i can see how people would get bored after a gold rush

U don't even need to use cuterie , just have her in your party. As for why ? Because it increases the drop rates of female affection items. Betty , gets a skill that gives her gold for each kill after awakening , so she's good as well

@namho yeah, that's for AW fodder. still, I wouldnt hurry with doing that unless you're dead sure you dont need those silvers anymore. for the time being I'm using some of the better silvers for mincosting purposes since I might need early deploy useful units in some situations.

don't worry, I have no blacks either, only lilia/Hina from my 1st 10 premium summons (according to lafate SC use guide), and the rest are event plat/golds. basically right now, just focus on maxing the core units that you have, as well as some of the golds you just got from this gold rush, like bernice, julian, conrad, kerry, fedora.

we have at least a 1 week break for now; getting affection items for your core units will likely be the priority, and you'll eventually be able to get silvers from the next few events as well as fairly decent plat units to use. even full cost plat units with lvl 1 skill can be useful, such as Odette for me (I only got 1 copy of her because I joined late). eventually you'll catch up and do decently well.

Depends.

Barbie at 50cc60 with 100% trust has 475, while Cyrus at the same lv and trust % only has 461. The difference in attack powers is only by 14 points, but if you like having as much attack power as possible on offensive units than yeah its kinda sad to miss out on getting Barbie without playing the premium rolls of neverending *insert unit name here*. Though if you have no other high rarity mages, Cyrus can carry you for what he's worth but he's gonna strain his back at some point.

actually I dont think we're gonna be getting anymore plat mages for the time being. dont think there's any event for one for the next few events (except a gold bishop that was considered a skipped event), so i guess you can consider barbie and fedora. you should be pretty close to clearing actually.
