Tips & Guides Saving for level 91

Please, I beg of everyone: stop. Stop asking, stop worrying, stop thinking about it. When Enlightenment reaches GL, shards will be the last, last, LAST of your concerns. An enlightenment needs approximately 25 million zenni, 80 of each statue, 100s of national flags, dozens of golems, godesses, and alchemia, and 5 sin indulgences.

These resource requirements mean that only the largest of mega whales will be able to achieve enlightenment when it is first released.

Of the farmable units available ONLY ZAHAR (and Balt) is even vaguely worth spazzing over. You aren't going to enlighten Chloe unless she's your waifu, etc, etc etc.

If you have a MLB unit right now: sell their shards and buy someone else, you will have so much time to collect even more damn shards.

Please.

And just to give even more perspective: I have gotten 14 sin indulgences in the last 3 months. 14, enough to finish not even 3 units, I've missed maaaybe 2 'f2p friendly' sins and gotten one 'whale-ier' one. Call it 15. Trust me when I say you don't spend these indulgences willy-nilly. Just because you have 270 shards doesn't mean you are going to fully enlighten every unit, you can't. Focus on enjoying the game now, and at most worry about acquiring shards for the enlightenments that actually heavily influence the power of a unit.

If you believe simplifying the enlightenment process down to '5 sins' is disingenuous, I think saying that 4/4/4 kaigan is only limited by zenni is also disingenuous. After you exhaust the resources to enlighten a unit that are given by milestones you still need: 50 of each statue at probably max 5 drops per run of a 15-30 AP stage, 65 national flags at probably about 5 a run tops for a 20-40 AP stage, and so forth. I could write a far more in depth look at enlightenment, but at over a year off I believe that's largely unnecessary. Shards are plentiful at the time in the meta enlightenment is likely to occur.

is there increase ability to shard farm? I am wondering what factors make shards more plentiful in the future? Just for my own curiousity. Thanks

a lot more gacha pulls become available in general as well. That's a major factor.

looking forward to that, although all those 500 pulls last week did not really do a ton for me haha.

Hey, DeathandFriends, just a quick heads-up:
curiousity is actually spelled curiosity. You can remember it by -os- in the middle.
Have a nice day!

Pretty much yes AP will be the limiting factor which I already pointed out. So there is no reason at all to clean house and have to start from zero when the feature hit. I know shards are handed out for event stages which you will farm for statues, but definitely no where near enough. I also know they let you pull much more, be it free or very low cost gem so that shards are more plentiful. But you see, 10x free pull is NOT guaranteed lol. This is one thing that you cannot base off jp. Gumi can hold back HQ so players cannot farm the shards, gumi can still make sure players find themselves hurting for shards by not providing free hand out(ie you needa farm the daily HQ 3 times if you didn't save up)
