Wow, on the v2 hype wheel I keep pulling Prysma and 4* cards.

This is going to be sweet when I get that email to get the rewards.

I'm so happy to see V2 coming. I can FINALLY use all of those A-Rank weapons I've been hoarding [since we'll get weapon slots]. Furnace Blade on Selene immediately!

As for the wheel, how do we get that "Beach Fanatic Peixe"? If it's just from the wheel, hoping that it lands on the Arcana spot and hoping for the rare chance it'll actually give it to you, well...I guess I'm screwed. :/

I don't know how Gumi will handle Peixe, but in jpCC you get a copy after a story mission in v2 (just before departing for the new continents, so she should be included from the beginning) much like Marina v2 and co.

She is a tavern unit, though, so you can MLB her (first v2 tavern).

Oh, great. Thanks for that!

From the people who used the unlimited spin glitch [before it was fixed], it seems like her drop-rate is very...very low. Actually, I haven't seen evidence of anyone pulling her yet. As long as I can get one of her from the story mode, I'll be happy.

The real problem being lack of AoE I'd say no, although Musica should make this kind of stages easier with her wave heal.

As an example, so far my best try is ~101 seconds and "gold" (the best prizes) requires you to finish it in less than 95 seconds. My team is as follows:

I only just realised there was another casino. Do you know what has to be done to open the path to it?

Remember in jpcc weapon slots were not included in the start of V2, it will take few updates to get them if Gumi wont do otherwise.

You need to reach the continent of sins (4th map in the 2nd book), beat the story and clear a quest in the tavern area (you need to clear the story to access the tavern area).

Or so I did last time, I doubt they have changed where the quest is located, but it didn't make much sense placing it there.

Hype deflated. :(

Urgent! I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but there's a quest in Dawning called "Maintaining the Cemetery". The chests you get from them are all gold, so it's nothing special [although it's the Intermediate daily amount of gold, and they drop pretty frequently], but it's only 1AP for 1050XP that's really exciting. Might not be bad farming it for XP, and gold, in the process.

I mean, it's 1AP! It's very likely an error, so be quick.

In JPCC its 10 ap quest. So be fast to use it! Also there are fast ghosts.

Yeah, the last wave you need to control manually [just flick a unit up/down to the ghost], since it'll will run straight to the barricade otherwise. But I can burn through it pretty quickly at 2x speed.

I'm going to farm this as much as I can right now.

Edit: And it's fixed. :/

Since Iam doing something else the same time. I use 3 ranged units and 2 hitters. Auto & 2x speed and noone dies. I took Frau away so that mana rolls arent so slow :p.
Opening all chests gives 50k gold.

Iam mostly running max leveled units but put some low leveled to sub (alt 2 subs). Also popped that Anime Expo 100% exp to units item.
Michidia & Kain are leeching exp ;)

Oh, good idea. I'll use that item too.

And I'm the same. I have both Elemia and Rasphia in my sub, with my main party fully leveled. It's going by quickly enough, and two units are benefiting quite a bit.

Oh man, I've gained like...500k in gold already...

Since this is 1 AP quest. I suggest everyone puts their highest leveled unit to leader to maximize ac gains from friends. In this quest there is no need to use Nimpha.
Time is the critical factor, not the chests.

Agreed.

Edit: Need to sleep, but I know it'll be fixed when I wake up. O_O

Edit #2: Apparently an update has been released for iOS already. It won't kick in until I kill the app and log back in. That's not going to happen!

That 1AP quest has very annoying monsters.
Ghosts are annoying. But it's 1 AP, for easy gold and 1050XP. Can't beat that!

Man, what if this happened to a quest that dropped 3* enhancers...

Edit: Fixed. It's 15 AP now. :(

Oh well, I went from Rank 84 to Rank 86 and from something like 8,800,000 gold to 9,842,621, so I'm happy.

It was fun, managed to do well over 700k gold per account and good chuck of rank exp too.

The next quest says there's a chance to gain prysma from a chest. We'll see what the drop rate is, but I've never seen farmable prysma, so this could be a good spot to burn stamina fruits.

Yeah that's definitely odd, even one prysma drop in a full bar of AP will mean that you can infinitely farm it.

It has to be pretty low, so low that it's not even worth anyone's fruits.

Off topic: "Seven Knights" info taken from their FB pages.
We're sorry the definite release date is still TBA but as we said at the Thailand conference, we are planning the launch no later than 15th Oct, both for iOS and AOS. Users in other countries will be able to access the game very soon following the Thailand launch

That farmable Prysma quest will mostly have very low drop rate. I just bought 18 stamina fruits and Iam not going to use my fruits for the event. Only burning normal exp to when ever I remember.

Dunno what Gumi has broken, CC gives errors when trying to do quests.

CC FB pages said:
Captains, please be informed that we are currently having technical issues connecting to the game and as of the moment it is inaccessible to players.
We do apologize for this inconvenience but rest assured we are currently on the process of fixing it.
Thank you for bearing with us.

Finally beat the archer stage!
Bless power creep.
I got 4* Patricia out of the damned roulette. Not as good as the 5* weapon, but awesome nonetheless.

Have to say, after trying a few of the new units, I'm liking them a lot. I was planning to pull for the 5* cleric in loliland, since she might outperform Lilith, but it seems I'll be pulling here for a while.

Loliland was full of power creep and dual mana, but their active skills were mostly the same ones we know with a spin and a power up. This time around, though, Sega went and designed some really cool and unique abilities (which might have been hell to balance), like Hannes', whose skill let's you tap enemies inside the AoE to damage them - 5x shots, 5k+ damage each.

The one that surprised me most was this one knight who can't speak due to all the "enhancements". Basically, after deploying the skill's field, whenever an enemy is hit inside, every enemy inside the field will receive 0.5x that same damage.

So, yeah, I'm so very excited about this update. The new units are unique and fun to play around with - the scrap mechanic also helps balance things and avoid brutal power creep.

JPCC's going to hold special taverns featuring characters from part 2 of the story, giving you a chance to get them way before you are anywhere near the v2 part of the story.

Was hoping that I could save pulls for the Atelier collab but really really tempting to pull for melee dual wielding gunner Holst...

And Morgan's going to on pick up too, nooooooo

Thanks, that unlocked it. I can do the archers only stage and the higher than 20 party cost one but I'm not even close to beating the underwater stage with the gold time.

Mages make that stage a lot easier. I ended up using mono-mage since its easier to kill crabs that way.
I used Cheery, Shauna (sensei), Alphim and Elemia, borrowing either a second Shauna or Alphim or just any of the short-life continent mages (loliland). The "detect" girl with purple clothing is specially good since her attacks penetrate.

Thinking of dumping all my 3* enhancers and use the rings for stamina fruit, since a price increase is imminent - good idea?

I have exchanged all my honour for fruits.
Same here. I have something like 50 Stamina Fruit now. It'd be more, but I never do Colosseum/Gauntlet anymore. :/

Is there a reason? Do you think the cost in honor coins is also going up?
People are suspecting changes in the Honor Shop. They might not be removed entirely, but I could see the cost maybe going up, especially with Stamina Fruit getting more expensive with Fortune Rings.

Speaking of FR, does anyone know if V2 had the "2000 Arcana Coin for a 3* pull" right at the start or was it added in later?

There is no reason to use honour gatcha. Never got there anything useful.

Colosseum is easy. Just collect reward each day and occasionally do one battle. My rank is usually 4-6k and that's enough to get some honour for fruits.

tired of rerolling in en so I guess I'll just keep the premium ticket and 50 prysma and keep doing the roulette until v2 hits

I've gotten Lyla (4* Healer with good EXP up and wave heal) and a 2nd Mustapha for Limit breaking from Honor pulls. It's not worthless as all... I love the fact it's one more way to get rare 4*s, and the occasional EXP or 3* doesn't hurt from something that's mostly a "free bonus" either...

I have gotten 3x UR arcana from honor (Chiyome, Lephret, and Sasha) and several 4*'s too. Then again, I never get UR's from the event gatcha, so honor pulls are my go to pulls.

Haha, I think this information blessed me, as I just got Chiyome from honor pull, too! Totally unexpected. Thanks! ;)

First 5 star warrior pull I've gotten. Selene and Coro finally gots a 5* friend.

So, the final chest of the quest gives 1 prysma. Early numbers so far, but with Nympha+VIP5 I've gotten it 6/8 times so far. That's 6 pyrsma per stamina fruit for me. Well worth burning all of them I think.

7/9 now.

About same rate here.

One player pulled 10 times in that festival, where in annoucement Gumi says that you get 1 UR/SR for evey 10th pull and he didnt get any.
Now its there :p, so he did pull too early.

Finally picked up Rowendia.

Chest rate has cooled off a bit though. Started 14/17, now it's 15/24. Still at 5 prysma per fruit though.

EDIT: Last update for me this morning. 27/40. Bit over 5 now.
