3 L20 Manyu: 1 L100 Manyu is a loss of 600 exp.

But, it costs less gold to fuse one Manyu compared to three of them; if gold isn't an issue, then the only other purpose would be to consolidate for storage. Sure, the crafting will be a QoL change, but it doesn't seem to be that huge of a deal to me.

thank gawd, I didn't really lvl any of my equip untilt they introduce manyu versions

I never use 'em until dis year where I actually focus on 'em

As for "feeling", I can't really address that; I promise you if you compare adding one L20 Manyu to adding three L5s you'll see that the latter option gives more exp (though it might be hard to see with high leveled girls). If it feels faster clicking just one Manyu to add instead of three, consider that you're actually spending -more- time overall clicking via crafting.

As I said before, it's a decent QoL change (and options are almost always better than not), but it's not a huge deal.

No worries, I never thought you said that. The feeling I get is that we pretty much agree on the crafting systems value, though each of us gives it slightly different relevance as far as the overall use goes.
I aint arguing, its more like having a pleasant conversation about something than an outright argument for me

Would be cool to see them implement a bit more things you could craft, because I think the core of the system > Exchange your low value, easy to get items, for better ones < works fairly well.
Having the option to craft the L100 manyus as well would be amazing. And if they added the option to do the same with Dragons (we all know the struggle of trying to farm those pesky lizards haha ~), and maybe a Big Stamina Elixer (exchange two small 50% ones for one big 100% one), and such, that would be very cool indeed.

I'm always up for pleasant conversation and/or a well-spirited argument that doesn't devolve into emotional acting out.

It would be nice to see more things that could be crafted, but for the examples you offered I see some kind of price being added since there's nothing to otherwise diminish (example, crafting higher tier Bloom Dragons). Putting the higher tiered dragons on correspondingly higher stam maps acts as a gating mechanism so I'd be surprised if the cost for bypassing it wasn't fairly hefty (who would run the 80 stam maps otherwise?).

Next event will be betting on swanboat races. Any bets on the results being different from DMM?

Guess we'll soon find out; might make for the fastest store-clearing event yet if the results were predetermined before and carried over:

I'm not entirely sure (well, about 95% sure), but it seems like the Personal Earrings obtained from the Character Quests no longer count as Earrings.
I.E.: using earring materials to upgrade them does NOT seem to give the same-type material bonus. Using 10 earring materials or 10 bracelet materials of the same grade yields the same amount of experience.
Maybe someone can doublecheck, but seriously, do double check, don't go by what you'd expect or what you "heard"!

Also note that when you use the filter, and set it to "Earrings", that the personal earrings no longer show up! (this is actually what made me suspicious, and caused me to investigate)

I know at some point the equipment gained from CQs will be able to be equipped directly to the respective girl instead of taking the slot they used to. My guess is that this is related to what you're reporting.

That's my guess as well, especially since we lately got a bunch of partial updates implemented in preperation for new features.

You're right. It has to be a bug. Earring materials are only worth 795xp now. Personal earrings get the bonus experience from earring mats on DMM to this day, even though they have their own separate mat and filter.

That results section is empty. Only by having a DMM account will you ever know that Justicia won the first race.
