Thread: Accessory Quests

SSRs have two types which have only two skills for some reason.

And yes, you should party. Getting even a single one of the good stats (Affliction, Atk, Dbl) is great. Getting the extra to be one of the decent stats (Def, HP, Drop) is amazing.
I don't know if it's wise to commit resources on maxing that just yet, but certainly keep it around.

Back when the accesories where a new thing, my first SSR, doing T3, was a light one with DEF up, Affliction Rate Up and Ability damage Up; it went directly to Sol. Back then, I was happy for the SSR, but don't think of the accessory as anything special. Later, with things like a triple Mode Gauge one (wind) and posts like this, I should clearly do that party.

That party was like 4 months overdue then

Never is too late to party

Focus on getting usable Rs (which are really cheap to max) and usable SRs.

Something like these? ^^


I've actually gotten a lot more drops from farming R4s than from when I was still farming R3s. Feels to me like you just get 2 shots at getting one instead of just 1 in R3.

I hardcore farmed R4s religiously for a month then switched to mostly R3. I don't really see a difference in SSR drop rate. This is actually a testable hypothesis. In my case, I only do R4s for Water and Wind, so over time I should accrue more Wind and Water SSRs than other elements. The number of non-ring SSRs is more or less the same among elements for me.

so not much of a setback if i can't do rank 4 with a team... aside from the drop rate on SR/R

cause all 6 element comps i got can at least handle rank 3 with little to no problem, and some (like wind) can destroy rank 4 without even losing 40% of my HP...

there's only a few teams (thunder and fire) that HAVE to use an elixir to clear rank 4.... dark might or might not do it (depends on how long andromeda/sol can last) and water needs a healer heavy setup for a reliable no-elixir clear

The higher drop rate of SRs and Rs means you can level stuff faster, and you have a greater selection of buffs to work with. But it also means there's more synth busywork to do each week.

More importantly, I discovered that my Water team is able to reliably full-auto AQ3 Light, which means I should be able to auto them all. That will reduce the daily grind to a more manageable level. I might very well just stop doing AQ4 altogether except on Sundays when it's free. My Water and Wind teams are decently equipped now, and I don't have enough decent SSRs worth leveling, so the trash SRs are just piling up.

... mother of god.

First Sunday run: Fire last boss, plat drop. Okay, cool.
Second run: Fire last boss, plat drop. What the f-
Third run: Darkness last boss, no plat drop. Oh no, how unlucky!

First Fire SSR: Atk+, Def+ earring. Hey, it might only be two enigmas, but the third one would be trash anyway, so I'll bloody take it!!
Second Fire SSR: Gauge, Atk+, Drop+ necklace.

Today was a good day.
Not sure when - if ever - I'll level these up since Fire is very low priority for me, but hotdamn.

FML. And then some.
