I-I'm sorry my questions sparked such a heated debate...I'm just a filthy casual trying to get a little bit better. I didn't realize that not going hardcore in every event since I joined and sticking to a small union for so long had screwed me as hard as it sounds like it did.

But thanks very much to everyone going and digging up info and running calcs, I certainly didn't expect you do go this far.

I can only (feasibly) get bricks from the Tower events, right? And since the rewards from the very first one went to summon tickets, and the second one is 500 medals short of the top prize, I'm a couple bricks behind already. That coupled with all of the weapons (and event materials to FLB stuff) I've missed out on makes it sound like it'll take years to catch up. And who knows when Nutaku will shut the game down...
I've made so much progress the past couple weeks with all the advice I've gotten, but now it's feeling like I might be in over my head.
