The difference is gold and experience. Doing the Manyu daily gets you low gold/exp, whereas 12-3 is reliable gold and experience.

I just dont see gold manyus enought from th daily to make not farming 12-3 better and hoping for amps

I did a bit of 12-5 farming to prove my bad-assary given how many times that mission annoyed me

Well the Manyuu Daily is better, if you don't need the money. After you finished the evolving and are just sitting in 12-5, stop using the level 5 Manyuu's then you will start piling up Gold.

I'm not forgetting anything. You send 3 in the top 2 camps, so that they get past the switch. Then you have 2 squads that go through a single fork. The first squad isn't a coin flip, it goes the 'correct' direction. The 2nd squad is a flip.

The bottom area, you have 2 squads that both have to take the bottom route, that's 2 more flips.

Finally, those 2 approach a fork where the first one goes the right direction, and the 2nd squad is a flip.

4 flips.

See, that's the part I didn't think of. The first squad has a 100% chance to go either direction, and the second squad has a 50% chance to go the remaining direction. In other words, when two squads are faced with a fork, it's always a 50% of getting both paths.

In my earlier messy post, I wrote each fork as a 0,5 * 0,5 = 0,25, when really it should be 1 * 0,5 = 0,5. Not like there's a 25% chance of getting both paths in a two-way fork, lol.. Anyway, that's why I thought it was 6 flips earlier. ^^;
