Also, I'm loving the improved drop rates.

Sent you a request. Keep forgetting that being in the same union doesn't put one into a friend-like state for the game. I get the impression this 30AP one is tougher than the last (though still beatable without problems).

very tough - honestly think I'm done with this game too grindy - censored to within an inch of it's life so badly it's more a comedy events fast and furious but no time to level

Game wants too much time too litlte reward, odds on drops are wonky - basically unless you want to pay a lot or play a lot more this isn't a game for you

Based on DMM event :

"ExpertSP rank Event Quests have been removed as the drop rates of the Event bosses have been greatly increased. Thus the most efficient method of resource acquisition now is merely to always complete the highest difficulty available, regardless of the resource needed."


They forget to remove the ExpertSP event because the drop rate was increased in the normal Expert.

well grab your jewel while u still can then lol

Platinum chests to date (running Expert or Expert SP on every run except for first-clears):
Apocalypse: SSR eidolon (3 half-elixirs used, AP used on CD for 15hrs/day for all but one day)
Phoenix: SSR eidolon (~7 half-elixirs used, AP used on CD for 15hrs/day all days)
Garuda (3.5 days into the event): SR assault weapon, SSR eidolon (0 half-elixirs used, AP used on CD for all but half a day)

For the record, both of my platinum drops in the Garuda event occurred without Snatch up (I likely did more runs with Snatch than without).

For me, snatching at least 5+ in every run of the first two events netted me only a single plat during apoc (and it was an SR weapon), and nothing since. I haven't bothered using it since.

Slightly off topic, but is it just me or is the way the events are being arranged are scummy?
What I mean by this is, currently we're on Garuda event (wind).
Next is Typhon (Fire) which makes the Garuda summons and weapons pretty ineffective if not downright useless in that event.
Same thing applies to the event coming after that which is Jormungandr (water).

There was a very brief interruption with the Medusa (dark) event.

But then all of a sudden its lightning event now with Sandalphon which obviously beats water. And the time it takes for everything in the current Garuda that we farmed (wind) to actually be properly effective against another event in the future is over a month according to the DMM dates on JP wiki. Oh well no wonder people just stuck with their Apocalypses.

I was running double anzu and snatch 7+ stacks during first two events with no luck. This event I didn't bother with either and got 2 SSR weapon drops already.

Then again it could just be a coincidence, or increased rainbow chest odds by quite a bit.

I spend 10 half elixirs on apocalypse and 40 on phoenix expert SP. I also used most of my ap on cooldown (but not all of it). From all of this, one platinum chest with an SSR weapon, that's it, no eidolon drop at all.

Spent 2 elixir on garuda so far but that was when I was testing the expert SP drop rates. Turns out they're shit.
