If you use your AP on Expert event runs at every opportunity during waking hours, minus 24 AP for dailies, you can expect about 7 of the Gold material to drop per day.

You are extremelly lucky.
Yesterday I got a lot of enhancements from the gold chests and today I don't even got the gold chests at all.

Is Phoenix really light? I find the event kind of funny when the dark team don't get more damage from Phoenix and mooks.

Dark and Light elements work wierd - you'll do the weak point damage to the opposite, but your party won't TAKE weakpoint damage in return.

FWIW I stopped running expert this event. Out of curiosity I started running alternating standard and expert, taking note how many gold chests drop. After ten runs of each I had 8 gold for the standard, five gold for the expert. Been running standard ever since and still only three times overall (20+ runs) where I did not get a gold chest. They don't always contain the currency, but neither do the golds on expert. And the rainbow chests are too rare and have a too wide variety of items to be worth it imo, which would be the one reason to still go expert.

Silver Tail Feather are pretty rare.

Anybody got an "ideal attack range" for the harder difficulties for me to consider? I mean I can do the standard one all day I guess... but I kinda actually want more stuff so...

Try Expert difficulty at 16k attack power.

Not too choosy over standard and expert



since my team is weak, sometimes, I need a jewel for expert mode or sometimes, I win w.o a jewel barely

I've been thinking about eidolon vs bow, and which I would max limit break if I could... I am thinking it is more important to limit break the bow than is it the eidolon. You eventually need 60 element specific weapons, and only 36 eidolons. But do you even need 36? Only one eidolon skill applies to the team, right? So it seems in the long game you only need one perfect eidolon in each element, or 6 total. Phoenix isn't perfect...

Is the decision really that easy? Always max the weapon?

From my perspective, the stats on the Eidolon are more important.

I don't run a team with Light or Thunder, so it's not that I'd need her for my "main" slot. But a fully uncapped SSR Eidolon in the sub slots is going to give a lot more stats than the alternative, as otherwise you're just using material exchange Eidolons or praying to the jewel gacha every few weeks.

Comparatively, for weapons I can easily farm the Disasters every single day until I have a proper set for my team. They aren't endgame weapons, but we're not anywhere near endgame content. However, between now and then they'll keep my squad more than competitive.

Unless one has a Light-based squad or they plan to use the Bow-based Soul (when it comes out), I don't see the point in going Weapon over Eidolon.

The difference isn't really health, just damage. If you have a way to avoid/heal around it or you can just zerg through her it shouldn't be a problem at all.

My team with 10k Attack was doing Standard originally because I assumed I couldn't do Expert yet, then I just had extra stamina to blow before a level up and I went for it. I lost most of my team, but it wasn't especially worrisome at any given point. I just blew all my summons at every opportunity and kept a close eye on my skill rotations and it went fine.
