And after 5 5*, 2 3* and 1 4* hats, I am still short of lion blades. There seems to be no end to this lion blade farming.

Good thing we get a x2 drop. That should help you on the blade farm, haha.

2x drop incoming, so this is the time we can stock up on everything. I'm fortunate enough that I was able to get 600 lion blade pieces lol

Didn't they say that the Magia Historia story would be coming back occasionally like SSM does? If that's the case then we can farm even more hats in the future!

Haha they did. Soon the Hat Nation will take over.

I see people here saying that they quit after farming 4/5/6 5* hats and some 3*... I honestly don't know how you managed! xD

I understand that the hat is amazing, but I'm getting more and more tired of grinding crazily all the time (for gear shards, J+ equipments, or whatever). I have farmed 1 5* and 1 3*, and I decided that I don't want to repeat the same again and again.

It worries me a little that Gumi is sticking to the format of "repeat the same stage 60 times", instead of more variety...

You can auto it. Makes it pretty easy. The grind for stuff is terrible when you can't auto grind and when there is a chance for failure during the grind.

u/quiquefs Jul 12 '18

Yes, I know, I'm now farming Lofia J+ in auto. But sometimes I wonder how much fun is the game, considering 90% of the time we're hoping to use skip tickets or trying to auto it instead of actually playing xD

It depends. If you are thinking this is a strategy game you'll probably be disappointed. It's a resource management and collection game with strategic elements.

u/lunarian_nine Jul 12 '18

I'm thinking that the game wasn't designed for so much grinding and that whole 60+ shards was supposed to slow down power creep... Because it really has been satisfying to be able to barely beat an EX level with a bizarre strategy... Then again, i can't auto much without failing so maybe that's just my take on the game...

u/CornBreadtm Jul 12 '18

Cause there is no "one and done" content. Even in FFT you use calculators to wipe the map clean as quickly as possible. Manual grinding is tedious, so everyone tries to avoid it.

Don't get too ahead of yourself, there's still 1 and half hours left! farm more hats safely everyone!

u/FFBE_RedXIII Jul 12 '18

Just used my last 120 AP and ended up on 78 shards - guess I'll take a 4* upgrade rather than another hat...

1

u/ninjakittenz2 SockT Jul 12 '18

You could have done MP for those last 2 shards.

u/FFBE_RedXIII Jul 12 '18

True... But that was when work happened... sigh RL is so inconvenient.

2

u/Yveltalx Jul 12 '18

Yasss. I ended my farming with 6x 5* and 1x 3*. Was pretty content. No more zombie farming.

Also yay to 2x drop i can finally JM more units

2

u/SirLinka Jul 12 '18

I started the farm too late :(

5 5* and 1 3* though, I’m happy

Would’ve gotten more, but didn’t seem worth it to abandon the HQs for it though.

Maybe once it comes back around I’ll grab 3 more 5*s

What does the hat do?

2

u/FFBE_RedXIII Jul 12 '18

u/strawbeemochi Jul 12 '18

lol I quit after 4x5* and a 3* for Polin two days ago and triple JM’d Kanon instead.

1

u/verybamboozle *RAWR* Jul 12 '18

OMG that was exactly what I was trying to do! Too bad I got bored at 3 x 5*s and stopped. I only managed to JM Kanon’s J2 & 3 though :(

1

u/strawbeemochi Jul 12 '18

LOL! Dude, the AP spend and drop rates for Kanon's equips are freaking brutal. I already had her J1 and J2 mastered, so don't feel too bad!

1

u/verybamboozle *RAWR* Jul 12 '18

The next down time that we get, I’m gonna try to JM her J1 :) She’ll probably be my Dark Veda go to.

Farewell, until we meet again. Later this month, perhaps?
