Asking how another player gets better results in a game so that you can try to get those results yourself is not complaining. Expressing frustration or insults to the game or the developers would be complaining, which I haven't seen yet, although I didn't read every post in this thread.

Zandel raised a good point there. The first few stages of the gacha event - those offering only basic lvl 5 manyus and dragons, are not worth it, and can be skipped as soon as available once you get the necessary item from it. Once you get to the lvl 20 items, then it starts to get more interesting.

I for now am sitting on all the dolls and those tacos or what they are that summon the special stage. Have 16K event currency, and will wait till phase two more expensive summoned stage is available to cut down on the times to runs this and clear the gacha in one go.
But tis be true, the early stages are not exactly worth it so skipping them as soon as possible might be a good idea to save myself some time if possible. Despite saying that its good to go for full clear, the truth is, I have very little use for the lvl 5 items, since all of my girls (2 and 3* included) are all above lvl 35, so the manyus are almost worthless and unless I wanna evolve the low rarity girls the dragons wont see any action either.

Just skip the unimportant rewards, what absolutely important for me is lv.100 bloom dragon only

As far as I'm concerned, the resettable gacha events are my favorite ones. The RNG factor isn't that big a deal in the early stages, as they're cheap and you can skip them once you get the item anyway. Nor is it that big a deal in the later stages, as you end up clearing most of it anyway due to the other nice rewards (level 100 manyu and dragons, in particular).

The only real issue is if you're starved for currency - like with, who was it, Gaillardia? I forget - but you can usually still manage if you focus on farming the event, instead of some of the daily dragon or manyu maps. But you *get* manyu and dragons from the gacha anyway - sure, not quite as much, but it helps offset it. At the very least, farming the event map doesn't feel nearly as pointless (except for currency) as some others.

...Besides, even if you do fail to fully clear the resettable gacha, all you miss out on is a piece or two of jewelry - which, while powerful, can be replaced by any other event's jewelry. It's not the end of the world. And if spending stamina on other maps is more important than a piece of event jewelry, then more power to ya.

And on the topic of the "zero stamina limited time" bonus stages... Honestly, I see no real problem with them, even if you can't run it three times per. I kind of wish they were on a 5 minute timer to enter, but 1 minute timer in-level. The 5 minute timer would tick down as normal, and the 1 minute timer would only tick down once you were in the stage; if either timer hit 0 you wouldn't be able to enter again. That feels like it would be the most "fair", to remove the whole super-long-loading-time issue from the picture entirely, while still emphasizing bringing a speed team.

...While I'm dreaming, I want to pull a Lycoris. And Setaria. (I know my priorities.)

There are no manyus in the last one, only dragons and ampies.

I guess I'm lucky this time.

But meh. I will clear all the gacha anyway. I need too much gold.

Firsts 7 steps fully cleared. 130 rice cakes and 2k dolls remaning. Event gurl lvl50. Tons of Yellow Manyu and dragons in gift box. I'm ready for phase 2 now!

We are at about the same spot - needing another 31 x 80 Stamina Maps to clear everything (roughly 1,037 cakes per 80 Stamina map from 485 cakes and 8 dolls). With Stage 2 maps usually giving more bonus (e.g., 500 cakes and 9 dolls), it will be less than 31 maps

idiots who hit a seed bearer (which is not their own) with everything they've got -.-

just cleared the 4th reset. the second stage should bring a more profitable summonable stage so i will spend all my rice cakes on this.
