Thread: [Event 03] Advent Battle vs Garuda

Oh dude, we were talking specifically about the Event materials, haha. My only problem with Limit Break materials is waiting an entire goddamn week since I always end up building a single-element squad the day after or the night of their SP quest day.

In regard to raids, we actually JUST had a conversation about this in the Discord channel, and I've been informed that Standard is the way to go. The plat boxes still drop weapons, I've seen plenty of them myself. And the Eidolon is hot garbage. So really, getting two chances for your stamina in Standard rather than one long and annoying one in Expert is definitely the way to go.

I think that you all talking about event materials because of "feathers" but the last comment was about other mats and raids, so I edited my post just in case.

It's mostly just speculation from me, since we're told they changed the drop rates for this event. I didn't bother with the last one, but I did the first Apocalypse one heavily and I remember worrying about gold chests, never about silver or bronze ones. In this event I get 1-2 gold chests nearly every time in Expert (and 1 every time in Standard when I ran it in that difficulty), so I'm not worried about that material since it's pretty reliable and there's Ultimate to look forward to. But the green feather material, the one that should be really easy to get, is actually super difficult because it seems to drop the same amount as the other two but the exchange calls for 3 or 4 times as much of it. A lot of the "cheaper" exchange items that don't even require gold chest drops require green feathers as well, which is completely maddening because it means I have to really make the decision on if I can afford 2 stamina pots or a third SSR Eidolon.

That wasn't a decision I ever had to make in the old system, so it's a little perplexing.

Assuming 'last comment' was me, no I wasn't talking about raid drops. This is than event topic. I'm talking about the event. The only raid boss related thing I mentioned was that my alt is an alt for spawning raid bosses.

indeed the drop rate is much improved...
but it is true that it is not proportionate...

When exactly does ultimate arrive? Is this gonna be the same for all the upcoming events? Wait like a few days before Ultimate comes out? Shame..

Does anyone know? >.< I'm quite vexed with the past event, i wasn't able to replicate my gains with apocalypse.. Now that it has a better drop rate.. [Mats] So far I haven't seen a Plat drop yet. Bad luck? or something else?

Ultimate was added to Garuda event about halfway through. It seems that future advent type events start with ultimate available already.

Note: When they updated the game to include Ultimate difficulty for Garuda, they also added a new SSR Kamihime, Fudou Myou-ou (aka Acala). For you re-rolling nuts out there, I have no idea if Fudou Myou-ou's addition cuts short Amaterasu/Agni/Hestia's new release rate. A new SSR eidolon was also added, Ifrit.

As I said earlier - if you want to farm low tier bronze mat from event ("emerald feathers of light" in this event) - you must run standart (20AP) fights.
Because that low tier mat share the same chests with high tier mat ("hardened beak" in this event) increased chaces of drops for high tier means in-fact decreased chances for the lower one. And even if with new rigged drop you will have the same amount of lower items - you will have x1.5 more runs per AP.

PS: It is me so unlucky or the new Exper SP quest is bugged because I got only small number of bronze chests (no gold or even silver ones) from two runs?

Same result. Avoiding it until I hear otherwise.

Expert SP only drops like 4-5 bronze chests and zero silver or gold. Thanks Nutaku.
