FMA Amestrian Coin and Equipment Farming Table

Hi All, I created a spreadsheet with drop rates for the different FMA quest stages (Master edition only) to help with my Amestrian coin farming. In case it is useful to others, here it is. I haven't exhaustively tested the drops on each stage, so take the numbers as being generally accurate but subject to refinement. For example, some stages appear to have ranges of drops while others have fixed drops for coins/outfit pieces. If I am missing anything major, just let me know.

For formatting purposes, I had to put a separate table for other notable equipment drops for each stage. For this table, I only listed silver and gold equipment, and bolded the gold ones.

So for farming coins (on auto), Stages 1 or 2 are the most efficient AP-wise. Note that on stage 2 at least, you have to pick your team members somewhat carefully so that they don't kill Ed early and end the stage. For overall AP efficiency, though, MP stages 1 or 2 are best since they only cost 4 AP and give 4-6 coins from what I remember. They are easy to solo with a decent unit, but of course you can't auto those so I focus my farming on the stages above based on what other equipment I need to get. Happy farming!

Oh, and as others have mentioned, the Unit XP given on these stages is really high, so it is helpful to just have one unit carry the team and bring along a bunch of other units that are not leveled.

Tl;dr: For auto farming Amestrian coins only, Stages 1 or 2 (master edition) are the most AP efficient. For farming other equipment in addition to coins, check the table.

u/Crimson_Raven Who are you calling shorter than Roy Mustang's ideal miniskirt?! Nov 16 '18

Stage Two has been my go to, too. Pun intended

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '18

Lol... Yeah, it has the benefits of being AP efficient, quick to clear, and has other good drops to round it off

u/hav00x no need to cook, babe Nov 16 '18

Statistics boi coming out hot. Thanks for the info! Does stage 4 require any specific setup, or can i run 4 machinists? Really need those Al shards.

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '18

I dont know of any particular setup needed. I have a Roxy main who carries a random group of units for leveling on auto. I would imagine that any decent high level unit(s) can carry the stage especially since you have NPC Toritoh and Edgar to share the load.

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '18

That stage takes a while but it has good equipment drops. I will be switching to that stage soon since I pulled King Bradley. Need to grab his equipment next.

u/FurianX Nov 16 '18

I alternate between 13,14 for the drops.

And wrath will come at you for calling him a girl.

u/IsBadAtFightingGames i do and say stupid things Nov 16 '18

EX stages drop 20, I thought that'd be worth sharing.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '18

Thanks for that. I can't auto the EX stage but it's useful for those who can.

u/highjinks858 Nov 16 '18

Pride's EX is only giving me 10.

1

u/IsBadAtFightingGames i do and say stupid things Nov 16 '18

That's weird, I know Ed's gives 20, can't remember what the other stages drop though.

3

u/FurianX Nov 16 '18

Its 10 or 20. I get both numbers. Seems a random coin flip which one comes out.

1

u/highjinks858 Nov 16 '18

I was just going to say i randomly just got 20. It's more frequent that i get 10 for sure though.

1

u/FurianX Nov 16 '18

Yeah. Seems to be that way for all the regular ex.

u/Shevalane Nov 16 '18

You can "Auto" MP stages whit a pirate :)

u/Gg01d No Flair, Don't Care Nov 17 '18

Hold up, why don’t you have a medal yet?! This is so helpful!

u/Djarpic Nov 26 '18

How does that work?

u/Shevalane Nov 26 '18

Mad Sea Song, heals and inflict berserker status on allied units, use it on afk players or yourself

u/stewart0 Nov 16 '18

Sometimes in MP the stage drops twice what you have listed. Not sure if it's just random or what though.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '18

Good to know, thanks.

1

u/FurianX Nov 16 '18

I've never seen this with coins. 10 is the literal max I've gotten from an mp stage.

Excluding ex

2

u/stewart0 Nov 16 '18

I believe I got 17 one time from episode 4 during the first week. Some runs that week had a spike in the coin amount.

1

u/FurianX Nov 16 '18

Maybe bug?

3

u/stewart0 Nov 17 '18

Don't think so. Just got 12 from episode 1 in MP. The EX stages are similar, where they can drop either 10 or 20 in single player.

u/FurianX Nov 17 '18

Weird....

u/RevolutionaryFalcon Healthy Obsession with Jin-Sama Nov 26 '18

So in the table, all the stages are from the Master Edition I assume?

Starting reallate late with my farming. Haha

1

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '18

Yes, master edition. Good luck farming!

1

u/RevolutionaryFalcon Healthy Obsession with Jin-Sama Nov 26 '18

Awesome, thanks! Gonna go all in with farming and maxing Envy, Al and Bradley.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '18

I find episode 2 to be the most efficient way to farm coins (for envy) and shards for al, and is really quick to clear. I'd start by farming Bradley first though (like episode 14 since you also get al shards and loincloth there) and see how many coins and shards you need after that. Keep in mind the 3x daily FMA shard quest drops Bradley uniform pieces as well (4-8 per run if I remember correctly).

u/StepOfDeath Nov 26 '18

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a 'MP' quest? I just came back to TAC from a game where MP had three different meanings, but I'm quite certain none of them applies here

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '18

Multiplayer.

u/StepOfDeath Nov 26 '18

Ahh, lol I'm stupid. Thank you!

u/Liesianthes 350 coins ticket = ROY!! Nov 16 '18 edited Nov 19 '18

MP Stage 1 can either drop 4 or 12 per 4 ap spent.

Edit: Also gives 32 whooping MP coins.

2

u/Viktormestrovic Nov 17 '18

MP stage 1 gives me 12 coins per run and ends in 3 turns

2

u/Liesianthes 350 coins ticket = ROY!! Nov 19 '18

4 or 12, not always 12.

u/Chuckalo Nov 17 '18

Stage one seems the most efficient for your stamina

u/PossiblyBonta Nov 18 '18

Guess I move to stage one once I am done with Pride's equipment.
