I'll have to remember to try and listen for it. I usually play on the bus/train/metro so I don't have the sound on at all.

You might not enjoy it like I do, but it sounds properly..."One Piece-ish" [if that makes sense]. It's definitely worth a listen to see.

Also, how do you play without sound? I use the sound/rhythm of the attacks to gauge when I should tap/attack. I can't imagine playing it without sound. I guess it can be something you can get used to.

I've tried playing without sound and it's impossible to me. I need it in order to tap properly. Normal characters aren't a problem, but stuff like Sanji and Arlong don't.

the new golden cave is awesome

3700 exp for 20 stamina? great place to lvl up

didn't got that much more berry however. 60k on my first try (with nezumi dropping the bag)

edit

oh wait, its just when fullbody appears, if he not so its just 1200ish
the crab drops a big sack of money

Like you said, it's just something I've gotten used to. I mostly just play one team, so the timings are wired to my backbone

I actually have no idea how to time attacks based on sounds. I just watch the graphics.

Yeah that happened to me at first only for 1200xp and less than 40k beli so I was surprised seeing your posts here. Tried the stage again and Fullbody appeared increasing xp and beli dropped quite a bit.

 

[sasari]

I got 65k which is 20k-35k more than the average run on rookie.

Let's calculate it for 60 stamina based on my experience with the gold cave:
Rookie 45k gold (that was more or less my highest average amount i got from it) and Veteran 65k gold (I only did 1 run so far so it could be better or worse)

For 60 stamina you can get 4 runs on rookie --> 4*45k = 180k and 4*500exp = 2000 exp
And for veteran it would be 3 runs --> 3*65k =195k and 3*1200 exp = 3600 exp

Based on that I would recommend the veteran cave.

I was always running the caves too but now I'm finding if the Arlong Park levels or above are on half stam (Arlong today) that they are preferable. Per run on final stage Arlong Park I'm getting about 10k beli a run and 730xp along with drop chance, been getting the occasional turtle there too, for 6 stamina

Your way is technically more efficient, but I like being able to acquire 66k in a couple of minutes at the cost of 20 stamina (15 before today). It's mega convenient.

 

[bjork]

Did 3 runs of the cave and Fullbody appeared each time. Is he the rare wave or something?

Still no Laboon, I did about 5 runs yesterday on Twin Cape 9. His special doesn't kill me there, heh.

 

[pelicansurf]

Am I the only one loving the music from this game? I've had the Grand Line theme song stuck in my head all day. Actually, a lot of the music is pretty catchy.

I really like the Grand Line music in particular.

 

[The Cool One]

Really diggin this intermediate golden cave

he is a pretty common rare boss, appeared 3 of the 4 times I did

Cool. I had skipped the money cave most weekends, but if there's a decent exp yield too, I'll give it a go more often.

I get the main theme stuck in my head all the time. The one at the menus, like when you're selecting a level. It's nuts. I hum it sometimes.


Unrelated. So I've used probably about 12000 FP points on these evolution things. Never gotten a single booster unit (i.e. turtle), but I've gotten one or more of every Pirate Penguin... except green. I have two characters that need green: Smoker, and Mihawk [soon]. Mihawk needs two pirate penguins and Smoker one, so a total of 3. So just my luck that's the one color that doesn't drop! I thought farming for one pirate penguin was bad enough, now I'ma need 3! Ugh!

Desire sensor is real. You'll also probably hate me as I have 4 greenies (from trying to get Laboon).

 

[KumaJG]

I play without sound when I am listening to podcasts.

 

[pelicansurf]

I sold my first pirate penguin today. I hit 4 yellows and had to send the guy packing.

 

[Rurunaki]

[burritosenior]

Nooooooo! You want Laboon at as low a level as possible. Lower health, so it's easier to get the special ability with Vivi.

That's what I assumed. Wasn't sure if it was gold Laboon that I was aiming for or not.

In other news here's my current collection:

One more turtle island should get me my princess vivi...

 

[Majukun]

so..what exactly is the condition to make the arlong skillbooks appear?
until now to get the "special" skillbooks all you had to do was hope they dropped from the "silver drop" enemies...but in arlong 30 stamina doesn't seem to be the case..i got a skillbook once and in the last runs i got nami's one even though they dropped out of both "big" guys and arlong's underlings

 

[burritosenior]

Just play the highest difficulty Arlong level.

To my knowledge you have a chance of getting one with every kill. I've never noticed them only dropping from a particular enemy type.

 

[Xcution]

So...after 2 days of bad luck I wanted to add to it by hiring Usopp to upgrade my boat.

I went from have this...

Then i saw something i have never seen in my life, i went 3/3 upgrade. Did not fail once. I love you Usopp.

I've only had two drops so far, and they've been from Arlong himself. I'm sure they drop from enemies too, I've just been unlucky.

On the positive, the red turtles seem to drop fairly often, which is nice.

Congrats man.

Usopp - redeemed.

 

[Rurunaki]

Do you guys run the 15 or 30 stamina Arlong island?

 

[chrono01]

Do you guys run the 15 or 30 stamina Arlong island?

I'm running the 30 stamina version, for the Arlong skillbooks as well as increased XP. Also, I'm averaging two teenage turtles per run [the last two runs I had dropped two per], but then that could just be RNG. The odds of them dropping seem pretty good on Expert, though.

 

[Ferga]

x2 drop on Laboon

Good luck to all you farmers

It definitely is since my drops. at arlong 30 have been horrible thus far

Vivi GET! Now I can concentrate on Arlong Island. Won't bother farming for her partner til I need to complete the logbook.

 

[Hisoka]

Vivi GET! Now I can concentrate on Arlong Island. Won't bother farming for her partner til I need to complete the logbook.

Congrats! You have everything important on twin cape now!


One question: if i run laboom and vivi on mihawk, i can fit in arlong, mr5, red crap and red dragon. This is... Not bad at all i think. These are all red units, so i guess i can finish mihawk fast?(<1h?)

 

[Dandte]

The frustration when vivi makes a drop animation and you receive a bag of belli >.<!! btw whats the best place to farm vivi? currently i use stage 5 for the chance of a yellow crab.

 

[Majukun]

still no Laboon or vivi.. I will probably concentrate on vivi..i have to use all the elder turtles I got on her and free space before the next turtle time.. Otherwise I'll need to spend some gems...

 

[Sn4ke_911]

So is there a limit that prevents you from choosing the same friend over and over again? because I can't find him anymore when I start a chapter.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Do I evolve Laboon?

 

[Ferga]

Do I evolve Laboon?

Only if you accidentally started leveling your laboon and can't be bothered farming for another.

You want laboon with as little hp as you can so you can fit in more attack units.

 

[tadabola]

Got laboon!!!!! and in the same run a yellow penguin wich seems like I didn't had yet (didn't need him so far as well )

 

[The Cool One]

Sware I better get laboon today

 

[sasari]

Been levelling up my Lion Song ready for Mihawk, should have him maxed in time but using Arlong at the mo as Captain just to farm, will add my number to the spreadsheet, come join me Vivi-bros

 

[burritosenior]

Grinded Laboon a billion times before today. Saw the x2% drop and just felt it...

First try, with a level 5 Laboon. Best possible Laboon drop!

 

[bjork]

Tried to farm Laboon on a poop break at work. No dice! Today is the day, though. I'm waiting on laundry and have nothing else to do, so.

 

[pelicansurf]

Bwah, son!

 

[Majukun]

Bwah, son!

So, basically I'm the only one that still has no vivi or Laboon? I used all my luck when I picked balloon luffy at first try

 

[pelicansurf]

I have all 3 of those. :X

 

[realalbedo]

I don't have Laboon and Vivi yet, and i spent tons of stamina on them.
