Ultimate gives you 3-4 gold chest instead of 1 usually for expert. It also has 2*2 waves of trash instead of 1*3 which means more common ingredients. So yeah, it makes farming a lot easier.

I understand that some ppl feels discouraged (and it will be worse next week with raid event) but i think its a matter of priority :
There is events constantly, with an interval of 2-3 free days each time.
If you're low on power, there is no point trying to full lb items, because its a pain in the ass and it will be a pain in the ass again next event.
You'd better buy the low prices items, and focus on lvling up your team.
Note that Medusa effect arent that great (both passive and when summoned), so its not a big deal if you don't max her since you'll be able to replace her soon or later.

Few advice to lvlup your team effectively :
Focus on an element. Its better than changing your team each time to match the strongest element vs what you're fighting.
Having a secondary team which cover your element weakness can help a lot though (Water / Wind, Fire / Thunder)
Lvlup your chosen kamihime with SP daily quest.
Create 1 (or more) alt account to host raid of your chosen element. Standard boss is advised for weapons and mats farming.

Ofc you can still choose to play casually, and only grab 1-2 copy of each item, and forget ultimate completely. But farming expert intensively is nonsense imo.

For a vague idea, I have 83 of the gold turn-in after running Medusa 6-8x a day. I also have around 20 of the SR glaive enhance materials, and have gotten 2 platinum chests (2x SR defender weapon). So I'd still need need a platinum chest drop to reasonably full limit break the eidolon, although I could probably full limit break the weapon if I used the half-elixirs I've gained from the event.

I do Medusa 12+ times a day. I just picked up my second limit break of both, so 145 gold drops. I do use a at least couple half elixirs a day. One to clear dailies, and one to keep at a pace to max LB something. I need one platinum drop to max both. I usually have one by now.

If you want full LB on both, you probably need 15 runs a day, then spam the last day until you get it.

Edit: correction

Full burst final hit 420k dmg ^-^ i'm going to miss this event.

I am at 505 734 357 and 227 gold. Wonder how far should I go for the event.

Is it even worth going for Medusa eidolon lb? Dullahan seems much better than Medusa honestly...

Ye i only focused on the weapon and other stuff. I'll only grab one copy for archives and thats it. There are more interesting effect when summoned and passive effect seems really situational. Sanahtlig made some calculation about eidolons so you'll maybe find more detailed info here :

2) Burst streak bonus seems pretty terrible, as it only applies to a small fraction of your overall damage. So you end up with a weaker character attack bonus and a burst streak bonus that doesn't even make up for the 10% character attack you lose.

It is, if you have dark team.

Actually Medusa is better than Dullahan, as the main Eido got to be Apocalypse, then only the stat matters. And Dullahan is 3 months away.

Btw, the SSR axe of Dullahan event is one of the best (works perfectly w/ Arthur), much better than this SSR glaive.

The situational usefulness is fights like this where if the boss doesn't die in 3-4 turns, you're boned. As the fight drags on, the damage contribution from that initial burst gets diluted. If you start the fight with no burst gauge built at all (i.e., Advent Ragnaroks), your sustained DPS will suffer.

i would say dmg > hp and so far we getting those bosses that need to melt asap, raid or whatsoever....also if u can spam the raid event during your union's burst time...heck medusa is awesome~
