Do the tickets from the shop actually count towards event progress, or are they only for actually voting? Just something I suddenly wonder, which I didn't see specified anywhere.

EDIT: Just tested with 10 cards, and the count on the first event page did go up by 10. Still, I'll personally try to get all the required cards through the eventmap, just to be sure.

Fwiw, the first stage seems to give most tickets/stamina. It gives a base of 5 with at least 4 other possible chances, for a max of 9 (highest observed yet, although could theoretically be higher). So far it gave me an average of 7.4 tickets, or 0.74 tickets per stamina.

The second stage so far gave me an average of 0.675 tickets per stamina, so just slightly worse.

However, assuming all stages have an equal chance of spawning a bonus stage, the first stage is also the best to farm for manyus. Only for things like Life Crystals the higher stages are probably preferable, as usual (I didn't check specifically, but I assume they give some).

It's like that on nearly every event thus far. Beginner is best in exp/stamina ratio, especially if one does every 12 stamina Manyu bonus stage.
Ultimate is best in life crystals/stamina, but worst in exp/stamina.

Event drops vary depending on event, sometimes when you include RNG average values are better on higher stamina costing maps, sometimes the cheaper ones are better.

Personally I tent to farm Advanced 40/50 stamina maps on main events, as they give me the best balance of life crystals, exp and event drops.
I do make it tedious for myself and run Beginner on reissue maps thou, cause in a lot cases they are the best seals/exp maps, and also best exp plus the bonus stage for Manyus. And non of maps give life crystals on reissue. Only those perma reissue events seem to be all over the place with seals/exp.

HMM, is it me, or has the votes count on the event page started to display total amount of votes that you got from event maps? It displayed how many I have to spent on voting before, but now it shows how many I farmed from event maps - aka it doesn't count the votes from coin shop. Which begs the question, are those coin-bought votes counting towards the 4k3 required to get all rewards?

Odd, when I tested last night, the count on the event page did incluse the 10 votes I bought for testing. Still, I think it's safer to get those 4k3 votes required from the event only from event maps, and see vote cards bought from shop as "different" ones, only used for voting.

Yeah the counter on event page gone back to displaying how many votes I have unused yet.

I'm voting for Herbaceous Peony, she's super cute (:

yep as we thought BB is 1st atm with 133,100 votes so far 2nd is Lycoris(132,537), 3rd Alpinia(80,350), 4th Herbaceous Peony(79,306), 5th Maple(75,292)

Nutaku voters have shit taste/common sense to vote BB twice already. Alpinia too.

I guess I'll rally for Herbaceous to kick Alpinia out of top three, at least.

How does the old hag maintain such popularity? There's plenty of boobs to choose from.

Dendrobium is the superior Winter Rose non-loli, yet she's placing low here.

Just shit taste all around, I guess.

At least Helenium and Daisy are doing quite well, surprisingly.
