I'm falling far behind. I think I fought YWB once (and lost bad) and Shanks either once or never, didn't touch 60 Neo Doffy or 60 Neo Aokiji. I know stuff comes back and all, but I went from 2-3 hours a day at one point to maybe 15 now? I ran turtles today and that was it. I'm in too deep to quit entirely, but it almost feels like pretending to play, when I play this little.

One Piece Treasure Cruise |OT4| Permanent Skill-Up any day now...
- Thread starter bjork
- Start date
Everyone has off periods. I started off casually, then rerolled an account and went hard af to catch up with guys that were playing since the beginning. But I also went through a slow period when I only logged in for daily gems. Now I'm back to regular playing for about an hour or two a day unless something I'm really interested in(Colo Kinemon) drops, or it's something easy to do while doing other stuff(Raid Bellamy). I'd say embrace the no OPTC life for a week or two. You'll be back with gusto, trust me
That's why 50 stamina colo and double stamina FNs is so nice. I can pretty much run Kinemon 4 times in one day, get good stuff and am done with OPTC in half an hour total without feeling like I'm wasting stamina, which is totally fine over the course of a day. Didn't even get good meat-up rate or am spending gems over the last few weeks, but still feel like I made good progress. Helps that I also don't care about invasions if I can't run a braindead Shiryu team while watching TV or reading a book.
But if even that seems too much to do, I'd say to just take it easy, load it up once a day and have a look and if it doesn't interest you, close the app again. You can get back up to speed in no time if you get the itch again, especially with the good legends you have, and with daily logins you don't miss out on gems and bonus mails.

iirc, you're well past me and I've been in since day one. But I guess I've had these lulls multiple times, so there's that.
I'm at least going to get the story units from the chopper missions. I never got Akainu to drop, and I need a second Lucci.
Let's just say that it took quite the hit to my wallet and my dignity to get this far this fast and I should never be used as anybody's metric under any circumstances
I had a couple of days lately where i didnt spend any stamina..dont worry about it - just keep logging in until we get more interesting content or new interesting gameplay additions.
Im always grateful to see your Legend Blackbeard up when i encounter some shitty Colo stage with Shields lol.

You still "worked" alot for most of the stuff. OPTC is one of the games where you really have to respect the player with a kickass account because the difference between playing the game while maxing/skilling/farming units and someone just whaling is quite high. The grind only begins when you pull a Legend in OPTC.
This is a great point.
You guys flatter me, lol. I put in some work, but there's no denying that my whaling made life significantly easier for me. My clear rates without Blackbeard, Fujitora, and to a lesser extent TS Zoro would be way, way lower. Granted, I pulled Blackbeard and Fujitora within my first couple of multis during the 2YA but still....
Kanjuro progress so far is at 55 dupes out of a target of 60. RNG started giving me the dick due to not having maxed Mansherry's special. A combination of low CD mobs on stage 2 plus running into Magellan on stage 3 usually equals an early end to my runs with Blackbeard. I've lost more runs this afternoon than I have in ages thanks to this being a distressingly common combination -__- All the more reason to max Mansherry this week once skillups roll around, although I pretty much need a friend Blackbeard with a max special to clear mostly hassle free, assuming no Magellan. I'm gonna farm Kinemon for the rest of the night and try to max out his sockets.
I'm out of stamina and skill up is tomorrow, so what ya'll got?
Books:
6x Story Law
4x Mansherry
6x Leo (both of these are far less than the Sabo books I've gotten somehow...)
Copies:
2x Jean Ango
10x Whitey Bay
12x Bellamy
20x Shanks
goals for this skill up period are: Max Kanjuro, Max Magellan, Max Leo and Max Mansherry. I'll be happy if I can do any of those
edit: What's your BB team for Kanjuro, EMT0?

I'm using this team to clear. It's a safe/reliable clear with a maxed Mansherry special and one maxed Blackbeard special. Otherwise, it can be something of a coin flip if you land on Magellan. Shanks goes down to this team pretty easily too.
I'm at 1180/1230 box space atm, that skillup can't come soon enough. I just finished maxing Squard's sockets, and I've got:
24 Kaku
6 Jozu
12 Masherry
18 Meynard
16 Burgess
3 Colo Marguerite
2 Colo Benn Beckmann
55 Colo Kanjuro
55 Raid Bellamy
7 Invasion Shanks(this number should be double, but RNG seriously fucked me several times during my runs. Getting no matching orbs with Fuji for the first three turns is rough af. Having it happen multiple times is infuriating
)22 Pacifista
22 Taralan
24 Kaiser Mustache
20 Lonz/Ronse
8 FN Whitey Bay(The FN unit seems potentially useful enough to merit maxing over socketing the never-used RR Whitey Bay)
I should be good on Mansherry since I only need 2 skillups to max her. So I'm done with the Whitebeard Pirates FN now barring bad RNG. Now I'll likely be focusing Prison Buggy since I rarely use Shooters enough to focus on Van Auger, and Lafitte is eh. While I doubt I'll ever use RR Ideo, RR Suleiman's an excellent PSY sub for Slashers, Prison Buggy and Mr. 3 each have uses, and Sandersonia's good for silly shit alongside Story Margiold. I'll farm Prison Buggy until the Donquixote FN returns/Violet FN drops. Then I'm making it rain gems, because there's a window of opportunity to get double EXP with double Neptune during a skillup. That'll be awesome

Skill and socket maxed Bellamy with 40 copies. I have 19 left over.
Went 1 for 11 on Shanks, which probably would annoy me if it weren't on my second copy.

neko is coming to global in a x2 legend boosted sugo
also him,striker law and shirahoshi are all rated boosted too
i pulled fujitora in a sugo with a similiar formula..depending on hat the other rated boosted units are,i might pull...i need to pull some of the units i saved the books for

Blarrrrrg skillup was a suck fest for me
ColoKinemon: 3/21 (books and units). This hurt the most, especially after a complete waste of yesterday. Did get despair 5 from sockets, but still, not the best rate for the unit I wanted to max the most.
RaidBellamy: 2/10. Guess that's average
Kimono Mr3: 0/2
Kimono Croc: 0/2
Kimono BonClay: 0/2
FN Decalvan: 0/2
Mansherry: 0/4. Also, TIL there's two PSY Mansherries. Thought there was only one. Thank god I recently pulled the one I need for Magellean. Of course, I need a small rainbow penguin to evolve her so.... we'll see, she may go unevolved.
NeoDoffy: 1/7. No usable sockets, but now only 1 away from Max. That's... good, I guess.
Spending the day farming for more mansherry manuals. 1/2 stamina is good for that at least

I'm torn as hell on this Sugofest. I was telling myself 'no pulls until Nekomamushi drops'. Now in my mind, this'd be after Enel and God Usopp's batches drop. But lo and behold, here we are, Neko's dropping right now.
>2x Legend rate
>Shirahoshi, New Law, and Nekomamushi are 2x boosted
>Striker up
So that merits a multi or two because I need that lasagna cat in my life. But goddamit Bandai. Stop trying to get my money this hard :'( I guess my new becnhmark after this is 'Don't pull until V2 Boa/Lucci'.
---
Skillups went really well for me. I'm 2 skillups away from maxing Invasion Shanks, and everything I was feeding got maxed out except for Jozu, who's 1 from max. I got a crazy good skillup rate on Bellamy, but got the dick on sockets. 2 autoheal and charge special away from max despite 55 copies. But I can't complain, everything else is turning out nicely for me. I'll try my best to get Shanks maxed before this skillup is over by farming Kinemon/Kanjuro's sockets.

hnnnnnnggggggg
The only striker legend I have is Kuzan. If I can get Law I can assemble the highest damage team in the game T_T
As for skill ups, I had excellent luck. 6/12 Bellamy, 5/20 Shanks, 1/2 Kanjuro. Good luck on everyone.
Skill-up was probably pretty bad, but I didn't really care much. Didn't get more than one skill-up per 5 items even once, and lots of 0/5, so whatever. Didn't have important stuff to feed besides Kinemon, and he needs lots of slots so it's not that bad.
Will probably throw another multi at Neko, maybe even two if the rates are good.

I know Neko looks good on paper, but I've missed really looking at him. Is he really that good to go in on?
I do 1-2 pulls per sugo, but haven't gotten a legend since 2year (Sengoku/Corazon). I'm in desperate need of a strong legend lead like Fuji, BB, or someone to help carry me through tougher content. Debating pulling a multi on this banner because of the legend-up rate
While TS Luffy will be the king of F2P OPTC for the forseeable future, Nekomamushi gives him a serious run for his F2P money. He's incredibly tanky, his flat 3.75x boost makes him arguably a better speedrunning captain than even Akainu, and unlike Akainu or TS Luffy, he has a full suite of all means to boost damage. His P2P ceiling is far higher than Akainu or TS Luffy. For a team with less survivability without Shirahoshi but a way, way higher burst, behold. No Law? No problem. Have Kanjuro? Even better. Nekomamushi is honest to god, the silliest thing in OPTC. Akainu can get boned by orbs, TS Luffy's only a god for three turns. Lasagna Cat is woke 24/7, and he has the units to make him bonkers that Akainu wishes he had, and Free Spirit still doesn't have.

garfield can't complete invasion cavendish though
Not impossible, but completely impractical. Reddit tells me that it likely involved unholy amounts of stalling. Plus it ain't double Neko, so eh...

I'd enjoy pulling Neko; He kinda feels like a beefier, less hard hitting but far more RNG friendly Akainu that theoretically has some of the most ridiculous subs in the game if you get some legend luck in.
Strikers are currently one of my 3 severely sub-par classes; Pulling Neko alone would instantly change that completely.

Appreciate the write up! Yeah, TS Luffy and Akainu, meant to write them as most-wanted. Though really, Fuji just for person "he's awesome" reasons. I'll probably go in for one multi, I'm still saving up for when we get a guaranteed legend/ 300 for G4 if we get him for 3rd year, so I'll still have enough even with that.
Hey, I zombie'd Shanks, I'll try anything once.
He's top 3 in JP. Akainu, Neko, TS Luffy in that order. The fact that both he and Shirahoshi are both triple boosted, makes me want to go hard.
maxed Leo and Mansherry with one gem today. The Sabo books dried up and Mansherry replaced them, and Leo needed shockingly few levels.
I also had a fun "Oh whoops" moment. After tossing all the books I didnt need I thought about it and double checked Kaku. "Special Level: 4" Oops.

it has been lowered in general actually..at least from when i farmed chinjao..there it was 1 out of 3..now it's less than 1 out of 6
i only need 1 autoheal socket on kanjuro,so i switched to farming without x2 stamina so that i have more chances of invasion and in gettoing the psy skull...i would have loved to get a double drop so that i can later use it on shanks,but there's gonna be a lot of stuff before 6+ shanks anyway
Yes, got another invasion (2/15) and I got a skull and it was a yellow one. I think I only got 8 skull drops so far with all the invasions. So I'm glad I got the yellow one. (Though I don't have Sabo).
Skill ups for Shanks aren't that great though. 1/10 with the copies I collected so he's still two skill ups from max but at least I only need one heal socket to max socket him...

Finished Kinemon, still missing 3 Bind und 2 Despair sockets, but I can use specific tomes if I really ever need them for something.
I got invaded a grand total of 2 times, lost both, so eh.
Marge seems like a pain to farm and I don't need Kanjuro, so I'll try Vista. Should be able to get a Shanksable team together.

finished kanjuro sockets too, no invasion thus no psy skull... I'll never get him...
completed the sockets for int ace too thanks to the half stamina in the rookie training island... on sai's fn I only need skillups on QCK mihawk but even that is not that important since colo moria exists.
Margaret seems way too complicated to farm for what she's worth.. already messed up some runs.. but i think I might just farm her since we are on skillup time...but no gems.. those are for magellan

my worry is it's going to be competitive and they're going to do the "Top 100 people get Mihawk!" thing

Sadly possible
and if it's not, it means that we are gonna get an increase in difficulty to compensate, making tons of units useless
So judging by that list, all raid bosses. Maybe the same team to beat them all? Seems tough if so. Unless you can swap team in which case, piece of cake. There must be some differences thrown in, like NeoRaids

So you're telling me this new mode isn't the glorious return of the FRIEND GAME? I'm utterly disgusted to be quite honest.
