Especially if you do union expert cycle memes, but I have a feeling that's dependent on the event since drops seem to differ for every union element.

R (not enhance) weapons serve a different purpose for you, however. You use them primarily to level up weapon skills, not weapon levels, although no reason to say you can't do both, that's double efficiency.
Yeah. Spamming the gacha easily gets most of my weapons to skill level 8, but the hard level struggles to inch past 50. I just reached the point where I could grind Advent events on my own easily, and uncapped all the SSR weapons to the max for the first time(s)... Now I'm just wondering how long it'll take me to level up those weapons and eidolons. It feels bad, having them sit at just half their potential level.
