Thread: Accessory Quests

I'm hoarding all SSRs for the time being. Can always use as an enhancement material for a better SSR later.

good point, and after that using some SSR accessories at level 20-30+ will help to enhance the better accessories.
since that accessory have attack on it i've thought to give it to tyr, but with this def maybe brahma or raiko would be better.
ramiel is out of the question, she is just there for now for her attack buff and damage to all enemies so it can help me in wave 1 of layer 4 lol

Meanwhile, my today's haul:

1x 1 skill SR:
HP

5x 2 skill SR:
Rage Gauge, Rage Gauge
Rage Gauge, Rage Gauge
Rage Gauge, Ability+
Rage Gauge, Rage Gauge
Rage Gauge, Ability+

9 Rs with an ability:
Rage Gauge
Ability+
Rage Gauge
Ability+
Status res+
Def+
Rage Gauge
Def+
Def+
Status res+

And 4 skill-less R and 14 N.

Wow.

You know, if this was an isolated case, then it wouldn't be so bad. But I don't even know when was the last time I found a useful accessory. I'm not asking for much - either a R or a double skill SR. Hell, at the moment, I'd probably take even a double-skill SR where one (1) ability is useful. Well, I did find a Drop Rate+ R yesterday. Not sure if I want to enhance that. Maybe I should, it'd work as a stat-stick until my Thunder Himes would be loaded with Accessories. Hah, I so far have one (1) "good" Thunder Accessory - a Def+ Affliction+ on Thor. So lacking a mere 11 Accessories from having my front line loaded with Accessories. How many weeks have I been running these? A month now? So four?

This is literally sucking the enjoyment out of the game. Every single day, every single goddamn day I spend like 45 minutes running these damn things. They're mostly just boring and tedious once you get the hang of it, but you can't freaking auto it or you get slaughtered. 45 minutes of a boring, tedious fight, and for what? A bunch of utter garbage. Day after day. Week after week. Well okay, it's not 45 minutes every single day since I don't bother with T4 on Wind (fuck Wind mobs), Light and Dark days, but T3 isn't short either.

I'm at 297/300 inventory space now, and the very best thing I have to enhance? A Water Affliction+ SR Ring that doesn't have a second ability (no Ring does). I GUESS THAT'S SOMETHING. Such a goddamn waste since it takes well over TWICE the amount of effort for next to no gain in stats compared to an R Affliction+, but what can I do? Not a single other Affliction+ has dropped for a week, maybe two.

Not a single Atk+ has dropped for a week, maybe two.
Not a single Double+ has dropped for a week, maybe two.

Maybe I should just buy a SSR Ring or two and hope that at least one of them would have one (1) useful ability out of the two they have. I don't know.

The accessory shop doesn't restock weekly so you should buy the ones you want as you should have more than enough if you play regularly. I would assume they restock every month, or at least I hope it restock at all. I've been able to get enough acc p to buy 3 SSR accs.

As for what I actually get, I honestly just use anything that's SSR and any SR with atk↑. It is extremely unlikely that I'll ever find a SSR acc with x3 atk↑ let enough for all the needed himes and whatever other combinations. So if it has at least 1 atk↑, that's good enough for me. Although anything outside of my light team, I don't even bother to use SR or lower accessories.

And here I thought it'd restock daily. Shit.

Complaining always helps.

Although the store-bought SSR had garbage on it, today's Water run provided me with not one, not two, but THREE atk+ Rs. Fuck yeah. About fucking time. Was going to enhance all of those to 30, buuut... then I found a SR with Affliction+ and double+. Doesn't get much better than that, so focused on that instead.

Ryu-Oh finally hit 6% Affliction and has a bonus of 2% double attacks. Nice.

Even if it restocked daily, you can't really buy things from there very often with the 2500 point/week cap. It's mostly a "oh crap I'm missing one SR fodder for element X" store.

Don't get too excited. An R with ATK+ is barely better than an SR equivalent with no useful stat on it at all. Most of them will have at least one stat that is marginally useful.

I found today that with 3x maxed affliction rate up and Mordred's affliction resist down, ATK/DEF debuffs will still occasionally miss on same-element. It's pretty rare and seems about as likely as affliction resist down missing. Which is good news, since even if affliction resist down misses you still have a good chance to land the others.

Is it? I find that odd since the stat increase from R to SR is really small. I guess the impact from the skill is very small then (outside of Affliction+).
I know there is a calculator for it, but I haven't bothered to toy around with it yet.

Either way, Rs are extremely cheap to enhance. Getting at least the first four Hime per element geared up in basic Accessories should be well cost-productive. Especially since even remotely useful SRs are so bloody hard to come across.

Getting an SR to the same level as an R takes exactly the same amount of resources.

And yes, I have a tool that allows you to compare the effect of accessories on damage and endurance. Remember that ATK+ is only 3%, and since it's character attack it's only worth about 1.35% damage per buff. A full loadout of SSRs with 3x ATK+ each (9x total) will only increase damage by 24% (including the effects on base ATK rating), and only for that character. The benefits are much more meager than people tend to realize. Compare to affliction rate up, which can have substantial team-wide effects with even 3 buffs on a single character.

True. And that would yield 2% compared to 3%, probably mostly covered by the base stat difference. However, you're then stuck with an Accessory you can never again enhance - not without an absolutely ridiculous Gem cost. Not that you need to since the performance is already roughly the same, but... whose autism will allow a non-max level item?

24% is absolutely insanely huge, though. We're talking P2W Eidolon level of increase.

... of course, not only that Belial and friends are team-wide, but you're also basically never going to find even a single triple Atk+ SSR. Much less three. Even less ones for the whole team. Not that you'd even want to use them over Affliction+ Accessories on your debuffers.

But still, let's not call 24% as "only." You put that on the carry of your team - best case SSR Cybele - and your team is a now a monster.
