Thread: The Princess, The Bandits, and The Capital of Evil Spirits Guide

If I'm reading the wiki correctly and my math is right, then suggesting that the people who cant do Reunion G should farm Artillery Monsters X over Army of the Dead X for souls is poor advice. You're less than likely (~46%) to hit all 9 souls per run in Artillery. You're correct that the 5 soul drop in Army is only 30% as opposed to 90%, but they're two of them while also guaranteeing 6 souls at 100% per run for a potential maximum of 16 in a single run. Assuming you want the most possible souls without having a team that can farm Reunion G, you should be putting all of your stamina into Army of the Dead X. If you can do Reunion G then its the best option for soul farming assuming you don't need silvers. This information is all available on the wiki as well.

TLDR: Read the wiki before helping out. Army > Artillery

artillery seems easier to do then army some people might not be able to do it, and some people much like mean have some very bad rng on maps. 30% to me means ill maybe get 1. never get 2. fuck i barely ever get 2 rubys on phalax 2 and thats 40% some people might be happy with a almost 100% 9 souls and maybe some plat armors if they lucky, was just point out the drop rates and that artillary can drop plat armors never told them artillery over army. the per sta difference is .22 now lets say they are only running as a free player with max map timers wasting no stam. the difference is 70 souls over the 2 weeks. if they hit the avg for army souls they can get another unit target. they get any less then avg by even .02 and miss the unit target and have 2-3 silver pirates instead of maybe 2-3 extra plat armors. which if they have spirits could boost so they can do better for next event. its up to them really im not forcing them to do any map. was just pointing out they might be able to do artillery x instead of the even lesser maps since i didnt find the map that hard and even picked up a plat armor

I agree Artillery is an easier map than Army. I was mainly looking towards your last point which made it seem like Artillery was a better bet than Army because 30% drop when it just isn't. I'd even say plat armor and silver valk is a worse side drop than silver soldiers and pirates, from a relaively new player perspective, but that's also besides the point. RNG though is just that, RNG.

Tempted to just farm Artillery, the Lich rush at the end of Reunion kicked my ass.. I can do Army of the Dead X, but I've already gotten 2 exp armours from Artillery, so even if it slows me down a little, those might make it more worth it to me. I doubt I'll get the 1400 needed for max CR anyway.

I already have 4 silver pirates and 9 silver soldiers (Have 12, but want to keep a Phyllis, Rosalie and Assal for my collection).

actually , the first time i've done the map , i did i blindly so i got surpised by the lich rush. after looking at lafate's guide tho , it really doesn't seem as bad. Any plat princes at 50+ level should be able to do it. Don't try other duelists other then princesses (i guess you could use a magic fencer during skill usage , but not sure how effective that will be) becasue the lich king has quite a bit of armor (tried celia first time around) , and if u don't kill the king fast enough , u're in trouble.

Other then that , u will need 3 healers , so there is that if you're a newer player.

I was able to handle the lich rush with a level 60 gold princess (themis). Though I do have Aisha awakened, so she has +14% HP. But i'm not sure she'd have died even without that buff. So it really shouldn't be that bad... you definitely need to place one of the healers AFTER you drop your duelist though, so that they soak some damage instead of them all piling onto your duelist.

be careful people just did 60/7 map got 14 souls says i got spirit of gold in rewards. then i get neither the spirit of gold or the 14 souls. i clearly waited for all the drops to show on map n what not. and just clicked on the game. didnt close the game or anything

To be fair, the more extreme drop rates (close to 0 or 1) do tend to give you more consistent results, which may be something worth considering when the averages are similar. RNG still relies on statistics and there are time where you care about more than just averages.
