Still contemplating whether to burn fruits on this or not.

5 Prysma per fruit on average.

hmmmm

Yes?

It seems like a no brainer to me. You're spending an item that's worth a little less than a prysma for 5 prysma. Stamina fruit are more abundant, prymsa are more versatile, and sometimes you can do better than 1 prysma to 1 stamina refill since there are sometimes good stamina fruit bundles at the store.

If it requires a lot of microing for you it may not be worth it to burn too many, but I can auto the whole fight so I'm going to go crazy with this.


I apparently can't math or read.

Wait, why is a stamina fruit worth less than 1 prysma again?

Personally, I'm saving my Stamina Fruit for tower events in V2. I'll just use whatever natural AP I receive and run the Prysma quest.

In my opinion, prysma is more valuable because it has more utility. With stamina fruit, you get an AP refill. With prysma you can get an AP refill, revive, expand arcana limit, buy bundles in the shop, or do a gacha pull, etc. Prysma has a lot more versatility. It can do the same thing as a stamina fruit and more. Even at a 1 to 1 exchange (assuming it didn't require too much effort) I'd trade stamina fruit for prysma. And at least for me I seem to get more stamina fruit from gauntlet than prysma.

In this case pretty much everyone is getting several prysma per AP bar so it makes sense to grind it as much as possible.

But you need ten prysma for one refill(=one stamina fruit) while you only get five from one bar AP, you're not making a profit aside from the fact that you're able to get EXP for a nice discount (but I haven't done the math on that)

If you'd value everything in Fortune Rings a Stamina Fruit would be worth 5 FR, while five prysma (obtained from the grinding the quest) Doesn't even come close to that number.

If you're rolling with 50 prysma (=5 AP bars = 5 Stamina Fruit) you're probably going to get a 3* which you'll sell for rings. And the best thing you can do with rings aside buying Exchange characters is to buy Fruits to brute force a tower raid. So in the end it's just a less inefficient way of doing the same thing.

I'm dumb. For some reason I thought it was dropping 2x prysma, making it much more likely to break even/ go positive. I've been pretty lucky with my drops, but even so, amending my math I'm getting about 8 prysma/ ap bar. Even then it is only debatably worth it. You guys are right, probably best to stick with natural AP.

Yeah, if you're short on stamina fruits then it might not be worthwhile to use them all. I'm sitting on 60 fruits and another 300 worth of honor points though, so I'm definitely morphing a lot of these into tavern pulls instead with V2 coming up.
 
from the cc forums, jpcc's new ring gatcha character?

No they give a festival ticket, equivalent to 100 ac if you don't miss any.

Nice. I have missed one ticket. Hm, maybe I can MLB Liam in the end.

Iam really happy that they gave Festival Tix.

I missed 1 saturday / 2 tix login due to beign abroad. Since I did get that 1st day tix I had 1 tix too little to get mlb Liam (if I login every day), but now Iam on the train to get mlb again.

Where did you go that there's no wifi?

I'm going to China for a week in October. I hope GCC is not blocked over there.

I was in Spain, hotel had wifi but as I was on vacation & forgot timezone (1h) difference and logged in about 10:45 monring, so I was 45 mins late :p.
 
Yo just so we're all up to date, how many Festive Tickets do you guys have?

I've got 44 now (with this new day) and I haven't missed any, at least that's what I think???

Why didn't they make this more clear, super confusing, I have no idea of I'm still able to MLB Liam

I also have 44. We will be able to MLB Liam if we continue until the event is over and even have 2 spare tickets.

Liam would be my first MLB 5*.

44 here as well.

Easier to keep track is just take note of anyday of the week. Just keep adding 10 every same day of the week. Next Wednesday we should have 54 unless gumi gives us another free ticket.

I've done that prysma quest like 10x so far. Still no third chest to get the quest reward but I've gotten the prysma 7 times. Not too bad. Probably should have started this days ago. Not as much drive to actually play other than logging in and getting colo rewards

So the knight was indeed the next gacha exchange character. They have also added a guaranteed copy (maybe more than one?) and a 10-pull button that I won't ever press again.

Still, 200 rings for a guaranteed copy is a bit too much, specially after the nerf. 1k rings for MLB (and still, I don't even know if it is limited to a single copy or not) is a tough pill to swallow, but I might bite.

So is the ring gacha actually practical? If you cannot MLB within say 500 runs then it is terribly expensive and only useful for collection purpose or it is not star dependant.

It wasn't bad before they changed the ring system since rings were easy to get

The latter units were pretty good and well worth throwing as many rings until you got them, lol

the new knight is kinda interesting since she comes with like +40% critical and has a charge system (gain attack when not attacking, reverts back to normal after attacking)

43 here :(
I made the mistake of resetting the device from a backup during the last update because the app store wouldn't let me update. In the end the problem was not my device and got solved eventually (the same day) but the game didn't gave me a daily that day.

How are you guys doing with the spins? I keep getting prysma for some reason. I was hoping to land on the arcana slot but only once so far.

I've gotten 5 prysma, 1 ticket, 3 arcana (all 3*), 3 revive fruits, couple stamina fruits, rest gold and arcana coins.

I must have missed a day. Dunno how. I log in every day :(

You guys should count yourselves lucky. I'm up to a whopping 8 revival fruits now, 20 prysma and 0 tickets. Already have more revival fruit from gauntlet than I think I could ever use.

What makes you think it'll be 10.15? If it is, that sounds great to me! That's only two weeks away.


Yeah, it took me forever to get chest #2/3. The drop-rate for them are abysmal.

so I guess v2 is coming on the 4th?

Well in my country date is dd/mm/yyyy ;). I meant Version 2 in 05.10.2015, basically day after that Spin 2 Win ends.

Today I run prysma quest again after monday for the first time. They have nerfed prysma drop rate, 4 runs without last chest to drop. Monday it was 14/15 drop rate.

Oh, gotcha. In Canada we do DD/MM/Year, as well. I just didn't piece together the information correctly.

Shame to hear about them nerfing the Prysma rates. I guess it was too good to be true.

Just RNG I think. I've had it drop every time today.

I've eyeballed it to a 40-50% drop rate.

Bad rng if its so :(. Anyways just needing 1 or 6 more of Prysmas, dunno if Iam interested to do more.
 
this casino quest that costs 250 casino coins is killing my stockpile of them

but possibly (well probably never) getting 2500 gatcha coins (that's 5 free pulls) is too good to pass up :[
