Thread: Gold Rush 1 Guide

I'm really glad that I have Cellia during this event. Feels like she is doing some heavy lifting.

well, just to keep track for myself I guess.

Obtained:
15 runs for Julian
3 runs for Iris
24 runs for bernice (14 copper, 4 silver, 1 gold)
15 runs for stray (8 iron, 4 silver, 1 gold)
9 runs for Fedora (7 iron, 2 silver, 1 gold)
19 runs for Kerry (7 copper, 1 silver, 1 gold)
4 runs for Conrad (2 copper, 1 silver, 1 gold)
11 runs for Betty (4 iron, 2 silver, 1 gold)
9 run for Cuterie (6 iron, 3 silver, 1 gold)
13 runs for Barbastross (5 copper, 2 silver, 1 gold)
9 runs for Garrett (5 copper, 3 silver, 1 gold)

Completed.

Need to really ask some people - Why are you trying to get every unit so desperately? I can understand if you actually use that unit, but something like Garret is probably the worst thing ever. If you spend a whole day trying to get that, would it not have been better to just farm phalanx 2 for aff items and fairies plus whatever story mode map you farm for exp?

Personally i got Julian since i use him, and want to CR/SU my main, and skip trying to get Garret, Kerry and Stray since i will never actually use them. I'll run those maps once for the SC and then never look back at them. Bernice and Betty i'll probably try to get since i want to CR/SU my mains.

2 factors:
1) Completionists
2) Variety

Never underestimate the fight against boredom. Sure the stock maps are more efficient, but if you crumble under the ennui what was the point?

Also, Gold units can be used in place of CC'd Silver units for awakening. So there is no reason not to get them and hold on to them for fodder.

I guess it's just me who has millions of silvers and golds ready for awakening. Still seems like a waste to prioritize them over monday and thursday dailies as both of those dailies are also key to being able to awaken a lot of units :P

For myself, I do not have a ton of golds for awakening. I started a bit later than a lot of you. I also don't have enough DC's for Awakening, but that's a whole different story. I skipped the event on Thursday to try to get some more, but never enough.

Mainly just because for being a completionist and wanting to do something different. I have no real reason to farm that map for Garret since I already have him but never use him. I haven't had too much trouble with the past events, so I'm not too worried about leveling up. Although I did still do Monday and Thursday dailies.

*Dmm aigis is another story. I'm desperately trying to level to be able to do the map that drops Moldevort.

Its not hard, my dmm account is 2 weeks old and i can pretty much clear it 3*
Just need 2 CC dps ranged should be able to clear it

I've had decent luck. I mean first day I got all three drops on the first map in one run. Then the others have been through varied amounts of runs.
What I need to figure out though is what to do with all these Iron and Copper spirits
