The gold box is just like a smaller platinum box. Last time, I got the SR card on attempt 114, I think. I had to drain the box to get her. This time, I got her on pull number 36. I can switch to the platinum box anytime, but I don't really see a good reason to. I've been averaging 80 wins a day, and I haven't used any burgers yet. If I keep racking up burgers, I can get easily 100 wins just out of burgers. And the shakes have been worth over a level for me so far.

I sucked it up and killed two full bars of focus to get back to the bonus area so I can drain shakes faster. With exams, I need to be able to go through 600-800 stamina in under 5 minutes. I simply couldn't do that on 4-2. Bonus area is at least 3 times faster. Alternatively, I could grind GHQ, but that's rather expensive. The ratio for stamina/experience is a bit punishing there, even if you get a lot more chance times. It's like using 4 shakes but only getting the 'effect' of 3. If I'm grinding for a card that I missed, that's acceptable, but EXP grinding is just too expensive.
