I have a little quibble with this.

While Campaign maps are the best exp/stamina ratio available in game currently (may change with future events), you can't just look at the table for the ratios and base your activity solely on that. Missions in each chapter not only become progressively challenging, but the bosses that randomly pops up corresponds to those missions. The higher level the mission, the higher level the bosses. For example, I farm one map specifically in a chapter, and no matter what happens, the bosses that I encounter are always level capped to that mission (e.g., level 21) This gives several advantages, but mostly in that if you factor in killing the boss in one round, and not expend your "raid energy" beyond that, you could theoretically deal with up to 3 bosses, before having to wait for it to refresh and/or for you to gain your next level.

This may not be important early on, as the levels tend to fly fast, and you have absolutely no time to expend raid energy and/or stamina, but it becomes crucial after a certain point (I think it was around level 12) as you have to be very mindful on what you're planning to do in the game.

Also, there are quests, and players need to be mindful about these as well. Pay attention to exclamation point that may appear indicated a requirement of a quest being fulfilled. Immediately claim your reward, so that any subsequent quest will be active, and you can continue doing whatever it is. For example, if you're increasing affection of a character, the first time you do it after server reset, you fulfill a quest objective. If you keep increasing affection without claiming the reward, you're going to regret it, as the subsequent quest requires the same thing, except three more times.

Stuff like this requires some brain activity, unlike the other offerings from Nutaku.

The point is if you are farming Manyus you should be grabbing a raid boss and just leaving it there until it is about to expire. Killing the raid boss limits the number of gardens you can get since on stage completion it is a chance at a boss or a garden. Right now you should always be going for gardens since you can get more Manyus.

Is there a best practices with ampies we should be aware of?

Use it on your fav waifu and keep doing so for eternity. That is all, really.

I'm at a point where almost all of my 3 star units have all their equipment slots unlocked and the ones who can be skilled up with 2 star units are already max skilled, so when I get a copy of a max skilled/max slotted 3 star I've just been feeding it up to level 7 then using it as exp fodder or just selling it. Is it worth keeping more than one copy of a 3 star unit? I'm assuming no, but wanted to double check in case I've been throwing the extras away when I shouldn't be.

Kind of, some people go full OCD on making single type raid teams (there's 6 slots for a reason).
I'm doing something similar, doubling up on the 3* once I maxed one, I've more gold than I know what to do with anyways. It's good to have them (especially the slower characters as I found out too late T.T) since there are missions where you want a slower speed and shit.

Perhaps I missed this somewhere.. but what exactly are the dragons and what to do they do?

Edit: A quick check of the wiki answered my own question. Thanks!

Anyone figured a good way to farm life crystals? I need more manyus, and maybe an equip slot.

The only efficent way to farm Life Crystals is to run Event Maps. Preferable the 80 Stamina Maps. How many Life Crystals drop from those Maps is different in each Event though.

You can't get Dressblooms from the Life Crystal Shop only Skillblooms. That means you can only get Skill Levels not Equipment Slots.

You do the dailies. Every. Single. Day. Don't skip any. It'll add up over time. I played for months now, and amassed over 1,000 of these things. You get them from event rewards. You get them from events themselves. You get them from Exploration. Just save it up. For Manyus, farm it on the days it comes up, since that's far easier than farming crystals to then "waste" on Manyus. You can also get Manyus from certain events (you farm up the required currency and trade them for the manyus once you've obtained the 5★ unit, and all the skill and dress blooms for it)
