Thread: [Event 11] Curse of the Sacred Wine Quetzalcoat Raid Event

That's actually fascinating. I saw the data - and was impressed with Aidoru then too lol - but you seem to have drawn conclusions better. Out of curiosity, how does farming Expert compare to Ultimate? I could only do Ultimate if I had a +35% to +40% element borrow, otherwise I was only on Expert.

Also, how does Ultimate equate to net gain on Half-Elixers? Are they droppable? Or is it just that the gold-chest-drop ratio is good enough you don't need to use any at all during the event, and thus can 'gain' via the 2-per-day?

I've added a new tab to my toolbox comparing drops across difficulties for Advent battles, using Aidoru's drop data for the Ixion event as a base. It can be found in the 'Advent drop calcs (Ixion)' tab. Given the user's max AP, it factors in half-elixir usage and outputs the expected half-elixir gain/consumption. It also calculates net half-elixir gain/consumption over the course of farming N gold turn-ins (relying on AP from half-elixirs only). It would be a simple matter to add a failure rate into the calculation (i.e., Ultimate battles attempted and failed) if that feature was desired.
