The bonus stages definitely don't seem as common as past events, but they do exist.

Phase 1 was difficult to just clear the blooms + ring.
Yesterday I did the whaleship missions after clearing the phase 2 missions, (and updated the whaleship page), but with the bonus stages from yesterday and today,
I have already cleared all the equipment and blue Manyus.
I'm targetting the gold materials now, but it's going fine with the lvl 5 boss.

eh, not a math person

I just do the ones I can do and hit those

Have cleared over half the shop already and look like clearing it all before the event expires with no trouble. This event is much easier then a lot of past events. Run the 80 stam event map, kill the raid boss with 30 fans, rinse and repeat. No waiting on others to spawn bosses, no terribly hard maps, RNG barely matters at all and the event SGs offer so little that running them is not required to complete the event meaning even less RNG. BEST EVENT SO FAR!

Oh FYI: that is with no gems going to stam refils, I have not needed any extra stam at all.
