Does extra medallion bonus cap at 100% or can go higher?

Part 1 store CE just boosts talisman drops by a static amount. Part 2 store CE caps at 100% bonus.

[Nikiri]

the last 10 roll for this event

at least the 4* CE is now LB

[Trubo]

Apparently they massively buffed Ox King's Lotus Flower drop to 3/4. Definitely the best CE to use if you have the cost.

[GundamFSN]

Ah, so we need those orange orbs for part 2 quests. Man, it's finally coming back to me that this event sucked hard.

[Arha]

Tamamo spook rolling for Waver. But I did get him a few rolls after that!

Wu and Nezha are also NP5 now.

[castor212]

This farming sucks because double item but also great because i have most of the bonus servants

I have mixed feeling

[Trubo]

Oh boy, yet another pity 10 roll of 1 R Servant and 1 SR CE. Reruns aren't killing my desire to keep playing, this gacha is.

bedivere's sugoi tsuyoi
that was fun
not too easy, not too hard either, just right

also praise this event simply for giving 3 lores, i was already running out of it

[Rafflesiac]

What are her 3rd break bar buffs?

[castor212]

def up against np
crit up
no more weak against saber
when she uses quick attack, minus crit star
when she uses arts attack, debuff target NP gain rate
when she uses buster attack, debuff target atk
also general attack resist shield

everything's removable by hitting her with quick cards one by one

[Arha]

So the lotus QP exchange rate seems to be insanely good. I've been ignoring lotus for now while I finish up the other stuff, but one run of the lowest dragonball quest apparently netted me 165 lotus. Since it's a 1 lotus to 10k exchange rate, that's over 1.5m per run of the worst drop rate. What's the dragonball drop rate like again? If it's actually pretty bad then never mind.

[castor212]

i just realized that each dress got their own description commentary lul

Spoiler:

"Fafnir's the one whispering to me to stain it with more black, ok? It's Fafnir."

[canaki]

beyond getting the CE, are the six paths of samsara worth anything?

There's a lore locked behind a "clear all other six path quest" quest, and the lotus drop is good as far as I can tell so far.

From 1 run of the dragonball only quest, I got 52 of them with 100% appearance.
Assuming this isn't a wildly atypical value, that means two runs (80 AP) to pay for 1 run of the lowest six path quest.
I'm guessing this will better than usual QP farming (those are average 1,454,430 QP per run of 40AP, according to spreadsheets), if you have enough Ox king CEs.

I'd report with more data, but current droprates tell me I don't need to eat apples so I'm going slow and not enough runs yet.

Goddamnit, I lost the 100 talisman quest (because my team was entirely drop boost servants), and clicked on "give up" by mistake instead of using CSs on account of not being able to read and remembering the placement wrong. Sometimes switching to the JP version turns out to nip me in the ass.

Shit, I think I used one quick card throughout the entirety of that bar.

So that's the CQ done and the rest of the event opened up. Now I just wish I knew how to farm this event lol.

[Trubo]

Part 1

1. Keep unlocking 40 AP until you can run Flaming Mountain (last 40 AP from Part 1)

2. Stack as many talisman bonuses as you can, then run Flaming Mountain. +8 bonus = 105 or so talismans, or a guaranteed Tianzhu fight per 40 AP

3. Run Tianzhu with the highest mix currency bonus that you can get. Do not equip talisman CEs here.

4. Rinse repeat until done with part 1.

Part 2 is pretty much the same, but orbs and lotus flowers.

[Daneel Rush]

So running Flaming Mountain-Tianzhu is more efficient than Beginner/Intermediate/Expert nodes?
