I wonder if it's OK to spend stamina on Manyu missions during this event, since all the event currency is earned from doing event missions. That anniversary equipment is really expensive.

you can buy 500 tickets from the shop, so i think it's okay to do a little excursion to the land of manyus
4300 tickets for all rewards. subtract the 500 from shop = 3800 tickets. divide with 14 (days), so you need to get around 270 tickets a day.
if you run the 80 stam stage 7 times a day you already have enough. and don't forget, that the stages in phase 2 will be more efficient, so there should not be a problem getting 4300 tickets in total.

I'll be voting Acacia. I've been waiting for MONTHS for that girl to appear (and finally got her in my first 10+1 pull).

Newer players like me will have to use a lot of stamina as well though to get the Reissued girl that gets launched nine days into the two week period, so this is going to be tight even with Gatherings and level ups.

I used my 10+1 pull and got Laurentia, Anthurium and dupes of Lily Rubellum and Strawberry Candle.

Would have loved to have gotten Poppy or Acacia, but not a bad pull.

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.
