    Nice indeed. It's sad to think my greatest contribution to a chaos run is Kuscah, Kana, and aKh1iPrs.jpg

    Well, anyways, now I can do some Art 3 runs with Ka'pori, Gatz, and Kuscah.

    Jaguna... ugh.

    Well maybe if I get her to max level and all skills she'll be decent.

    Nope.

    Jaguna's sole redeeming quality is that she inspires players to grind the gold needed to clear the PoF so that they never roll her with energy ever again.

    Haaaa ha ha ha

    That reminds me of a comment someone left on Jaguna's page on the TB wiki that stuck with me after I looked her up: "Jaguna the Magnetic? More like Jaguna the Pathetic."

    I hope so, but since none of the SS rank characters can't truly be called "bad", just outshined by certain outliers, I wonder how Mistwalker will handle balance overall, especially when they plan to release PvP.

    Cleaned up a sketch and wanted to play around with some lighting:

    I hate upgrading SS characters.

    1 run to get Gungnir.
    20 runs and still no Excalibur.

    Yes, unlocking SS jobs. That is probably frustrating or so I've heard.

    What you can try to do is find someone that has treasure hunter and have them host the appropriate levels. In fact Coop is the way to grind xp, coins, or whatever items you want.

    Profit:
    - Items.
    - Recruits.
    - Coins.
    - *NEW!* Experience.

    Facts:
    - Bonus fact: Your first twenty times winning with people in private rooms gets you free energy and metal tickets.
    - You can play story chapters in co-op, except chapters 1 and 20.
    - Story mode can only have one guest.
    - Only the host gets progress.
    - Guests can't join a chapter they haven't yet reached.
    - Each player brings their first three units.
    - Coins, items, experience, and monster recruits are shared in co-op (not split).
    - Experience is divided by number of units in your squad, whether or not they participate in the co-op.​ Meaning if you are doing it for XP, remove anyone not participating.
    - Host pays normal stamina for games.
    - Host is not level-capped.
    - Guest is level-capped to difficulty+5.
    - Treasure Hunter (Items+25%) only appears as a level 65 Skill. It is only on Alika (S) and Gatz (S).
    - Negotiator (Recruit+100% per pincer) only appears as a level 65 skill. It is on Samatha (SS).
    - Negotiator Pro (Recruit+800% per pincer) only appears as a level 35 skill. It is on Rikken (SS) and Yukken (SS).
    - Seasoned Pro (EXP+15%) is only a level 65 skill. It is on Bonna (S).
    - Money Bags (Coins+15%) is only a level 65 skill. It is on Zeera (S).
    - Coin Bonus (Coins are affected by combo bonus) is a level 1 skill on Bajanna (SS).
    - Chapter 12 is the first chapter with a difficulty of at least 30 (and only from 12-6 on).
    - Chapter 26 is the first chapter with a difficulty of at least 60.
    - It takes like ten turns to fill up the summon bar.

    (For more info on Negotiator and Treasure Hunter, see Kivanc's thread.)

    Conclusions:
    - You can farm coins/items/monsters in pairs. Take turns hosting. This will double your chances per stamina.
    - For host: All farming skills always work.
    - For guest: Negotiator Pro only works from 12-6 on.
    - For guest: The other farming skills only work from 26-1 on.
    - No need to tap for summon bars.
    - You can pairfarm experience at twice the rate for half the characters.
    - When pairfarming experience, be sure to leave the bottom half of your squad empty.

    Notable things to pairfarm:
    - Story chapters.
    - Ch6-8: Metal Tickets (average of 17.5 stamina per ticket, if you kill everything).
    - Job items. Especially SS items, Wish Particle (13-8), Orichalcum (15-6).
    - 23-4: For level 60+. Better XP/stamina rate than 20-1!
    - 15-9: For when you can't get to 23-4. Still close to 20-1.

    So where do you go to farm coins then?

  • OrphaneOrphane rivers of red that run to seaRegistered User regular
    I think Excalibur is probably the worst one on account of it being chapter 18 and the 3 bosses all being butt buddies

    All the other special promotion items are in stages that are pretty easy to backfarm

  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    All I'm hearing is you volunteering Talith, since you just got that Treasure Hunter.

    Depending on your luck you can get ~6500-9000ish coins per battle without Moneybags or Coin bonus

    Still working on mine. He is currently level 62 so he should have TH soon.

    7244qyoka3pp.gif
  • OrphaneOrphane rivers of red that run to seaRegistered User regular
    Treasure Hunter increases the base drop % by 25%, right? If Artemis III's drop rate for Celestial Bows is 80%, doesn't that guarantee a bow drop if you're running a TH?

    I mean, the difference in that case is probably negligible, but guaranteed drops are always good

  • TalithTalith 変態という名の紳士 Miami, FLRegistered User regular
    For those RNGesus has forsaken guaranteed drops are the only way to go.

    No idea then. As far as I can remember none of the story stages have spectacular coin yield. I guess your best bet would be to have someone with Bajanna and just go for looking for most quantity of mobs chainable at a time stages for coin farming.

    EDIT: Though Zeera's Moneybags is her job 3 65 skill and therefore guaranteed to be mostly unavailable for the co-op joiner, I wonder if double Bajanna Coin Bonus (since it's her job 3 1 skill, and therefore available anywhere) stacks; if it does, is it additive or multiplicative?

  • Kick_04Kick_04 Registered User regular
    I have a Bajanna.

    I haven't started working on her quiet yet, I have all 3 Jobs unlocked and each job is above level 20. But that is only because King Metal Zone 5 was open last night and ran it several times with Gugba.

    The problem with Bajanna is that she has to be the one that initiates the attack in order to get the coin bonus

    Can someone join my room (18217) and bring only 1 team member. (or 2 if still won't let you with only 1)

    I want to see/try something out... it can be a level 1 monster if you want.

    Orphane ElementWrath

    Edit: I was hoping could only bring in 1 monster, but it wouldn't allow it. Guessing it would be too broken to get 59k exp per run. Can still get 29k a run.

    Bajanna doesn't like she does that much to help with coins, would have to see more when the weekend comes around again.

    Reason is if you kill 6 monsters you get +50% coins on the last monster killed. The issue is if the monster only drops 10 coins, you now get 15 instead... On 15-9 I get over 1.5k coins now a run, so it is something and will add up over a long time.

    I mean, between the ~8000 coins you get every week from logging in and coin creeps being available on the weekend for 2 full days I have never really found myself at a shortage for coins when I wanted them other then when I've been gratuitously blowing money on Pact of Fellowship just so the fucking Tavern will stop bothering me about all these promotions for characters I don't want being available.
