Sounds less grindy to me. You don't have to get the Jewels, after all. Mind you, 3000 Jewels gets you fuck-all. Am I going to grind them? Absolutely, and I wish there was even more to grind.

Anyway, the point is, people who just want the SSRs can do it with much, much less effort. And that's good. That's even better for newer players, who struggle with Ultimate.

Having played from launch, I find advents easier to deal with than raids. Both are grindy, raids are even more so if you don't get any SSRs from the gacha, youre forced to deal with grinding all the souls while advents you can just get mats for the needed items and ignore the rest. Raid events have much better overall rewards because of its gacha but if just talking about eaiser to deal with, I would have to go with advents.

You can ignore the Jews but who gonna do that unless you need to, since you are new and don't have the HEs and or the Firepower to grind ULtimate. For me, the Jews are as essential as the SSR and the Eido. Which in the End means you need 5 Gold Mats less, compared to now.

But sure if we only look at the SSR/Eido costs, then you are completly right about Advents being less grindy in the Future.

Mh can't agree on that you can just spend 100 Seeds+ to finish Ragnarok Raids fast and then collect 200 Divine with your natural regeneration. You gonna get all the Seeds back with the Gacha/Rewards. Seeds are easy to get, but HEs are kind of rare and you need so much of them for one Advent. <.< I really hate Advents because we need way too many Mats. Also you can just leech in Raid Events while you need to do everything by yourself in Advents. A new Player might be able to finish a Raid Event but he will fail miserably in a Advent Event.

I agree with this as well, Ragnarok becomes pretty easy when you have a fuckload of people fighting the same boss. And even if you dealt, let's say, 10k damage, you will get 4 tickets and 1 or 2 souls. It's just that good.

The tradeoff is that you have to wait for said fuckload to join, and if you want to fight seriously then you have to hope other people in the raid don't fuck things up by summoning Nicholas or using Propaganda at an inconvenient time or...

If all you want is the rewards then sure raids are easy but I'm kind of trying to have fun while doing so, which is a lot easier in advents.

Unless you're extremely active, you wont be getting 200 souls from regen. With advents and elixirs, the higher rank you are, the less youll use because your AP increases.

New players wont be able to handle either events because they wont have the needed seeds or elixirs to handle farming. Being higher rank only makes advents easier and raids harder because the game matches you up with stronger players.

I definitely prefer advents too. If you're rank 60+ it takes over 4 hours to fill up your AP, while BP still get maxed in 1:40. That means you either play raids around the clock or spend a good amount of seeds into it (not to mention them being a lot more annoying with lags, other people making your fights harder, PP being basically purely dependant on damage, etc). Advent you can just hop on 2 times during the day, do 2 ults and in then evening spend a couple half elexirs on it. Raids i always feel like i'm missing out when i'm not online for a few hours.

Well, posting these has kinda been a tradition... might as well, I guess.

I slacked and didn't Seed past day1, so I'm a mere ~14% of our PP this time. But considering how valuable Seeds will be in the following months - not that I have any lack of them - I guess that's fine.

We didn't get Ragnarok Thunder Disaster in this event like DMM did, I wonder if we're getting that with Kyuki. Or if we'll get it moooonths later, which would be sad.

eh? they had thunder ragnarok raid boss at this point?
if that the case they may delay it like they did with hercules, accessory quest etc...

------
all of us slacked a lot after we got all the rewards, and if not for my weapon slots being clost to be full i may had used more BP to try to get more seeds myself.
need next event to get rid of all those sr weapon materials :X

Yeah, they're the source of Regalias. You'll need them for Relic weapons.

If we follow DMM we'd get Thunder with Gluttony (Jan), Wind with Ixion/Yata (so for us, after Valentine ends), Fire at Sphinx rerun (April), Water end of May, and so on.
