I just keep leisurly farming the 40 Stam mission. Currently at 700 fireworks, in what... 3rd day of festival ? Not amazing but meh.. still get a small trinkle of Life Gems out of it as well, plus it helps me do the daily Mission Quest.
Sure I might be running whatever and aiming for SG or whatnot, but with how strong my party is at the moment I dont have to rush yet and can tak it slow. Plus I wanna bang out the 2K for the Event so I can focus on other things later on.
