Standard Lilim Costs 15AP

Equal AP point is 75AP, which is 3 Expert and 5 Standard.

Standard has dropped between 1-3 Grails from what I have run. Expert has dropped 4-5 on every run I have done.

So when you do the math, Standard drops between 5-15, and Expert 12-15 for the same amount of AP. You have a much better average in Expert, making it the better one to run.

If AP weren't an issue (IE you are using HEs like crazy, or have unlimited AP) and your limiting factor was time, then standard would be the way to go, because it can be completed faster and therefore your GPM (Grails per Minute) would be higher.

Anyways...It always bugs me to see misinformation being thrown around as fact. Crunch the numbers and you can see Expert is better. However, if you're not strong enough for expert, then by all means run standard until you are.
Yea expert seems to drop a guaranteed 5 grails when you MVP, every single time. I don't think I've seen less than 5 grails on it at all, in all my runs so far (except for possibly the cpl times I joined someone else's and maybe vice-mvp'ed and got 4.) However, I've never run a standard yet, so I didn't know whether to refute his info or not.

Last Union Event, it didn't seem to have the guaranteed 5 grails every expert, but in this one it does, which is nice because you're basically done with your grails quota simply running 3 exp lilims per day.
