    People know what the S means, they just don't care. Everyone knows what you mean if you say EST, CST, PST, etc, regardless of the time of year. Say EDT, CDT, or PDT and people will think you can't type.

    Although this one at least this one doesn't use PST in announcements like global FFRK does, so at least there isn't repeated confusion about why events start one hour "late" every other week.
    Well, it's more that I didn't know when exactly the event was going to end anyway since I've seen throughout the day mentions of different times on Oct 1st JST and Oct 2nd JST.

    If I have 2068 silver and 6233 gold, do you recommend go for the 5K CE or the pieces,monuments, exp?

    if you have 4, you might as well ascend it if you have the dangos for it.

    Depends on what your Dango drop rate is. I posted the basic step-by-step guide you'd have to do to calculate how many 5 AP runs you'd need to do to get everything here.

    Just keep in mind that I didn't display every equation because it was looking ugly as sin anyway. In my effective silver dango formula, the first three values correspond to silver dango drops, the later three correspond to gold dango drops converted to silver after the event ends, so all together is your effective silver dango.

    Yes, making these distinctions matter, as if you're going to buy the CE, only actual silver dango matter to you, not effective silver dango.

    But because I'm bored and ignoring stuff I should actually be doing:

    1. You need 5000 - 2068 = 2932 silver dango to buy the 5k CE.

    2. Calculate how much silver dango, NOT EFFECTIVE SILVER DANGO, you are currently making from the 5 AP event. I'm assuming you're doing 5 AP because it's the most efficient in terms of AP to farm dango. Call this J.

    3. Divide 2932 by J to get how many 5 AP runs you need to do to get the 5k CE. Let's call this K.

    4. Next calculate how many gold dango (my formula converts it to effective silver dango, that's fine) you get from K runs. Add this to 3116 (6233/2 rounded down). Let's call this value L.

    5. Subtract L from the cost of everything you're still looking to get. Let's call that M.

    6. Divide M by your new effective silver dango rate to find how many 5 AP runs you need to run to get M effective silver dango. Let's call this N.

    7. Thus, you will need to run K 5 AP runs -> buy the 5k CE -> run N 5 AP runs to get everything you want.

    If you can get the rest of the stuff you want, then go for it.

    I've seen this regularly cause confusion when people use online time zone converters to overseas regions like Japan, though.

    Plus confusion when DST begins/ends and things based on a foreign time zone like JST suddenly happen one hour earlier/later, because shockingly there are parts of the world who don't observe DST. Or who use different dates than the US does.

    I'm still upset that I couldn't do Liz's second ascension yesterday just because I misclicked the daily. I'm so mad. Have to wait days because I wasn't paying attention.

    I think I can go for her third ascension and get her last dress which I think looks cute easily.

    The US is not the only country with named time zones.

    Americans don't ever change the S in their time zones because that would imply that whatever time it is RIGHT NOW in America isn't the standard, which is unthinkable. And we all know when DST is running here anyway so we don't need to say it. We just sort of give each other the nod on the street, like, "Sick sleep last Sunday, bro, love that extra hour" or "Fuck springing forward, am I right?"

    Let's just be weebs and use JST especially since that's the time zone this game uses.

    Fine, from now on I'll just do this. I figured if I was going to be lazy, I may as well be extra lazy.

    I would honestly prefer this, I can do the math myself (just switch am and pm hue). Plus, I literally never pay attention to time indications given by people here because I can never tell if they're using _ST/_DT correctly and I can't be fucking arsed to learn american time zones anyways.
