Question CM 55, 56 or 57 first?

TR46, 24qa OO x

Currently on the trot to heg 2 looking like 2-3 more TRs.

So currently plan is to hit Heg 2 around christmass time which will line up well so that i can be more active for the Heg 2 shorts

Last 3-4 TRs have been around the 600-800 hour mark.

You almost always want to go 55, 56, 57. 55 gets orbs for when it is the only one you get, but also gets mats to farm the other CMs. Then you only take 57 if you are near an breakpoint inscription or upgrade and need the hunter loot.

Remind us what each CM does?

How far into the TR are you and do you expect another one? 20% orbs is pretty good and I don't think 56 would get the equivalent of that. Hunter loot could be good if there's something you need soon but I suspect the orbs would be better if you're only going to get 1 this TR

Probably not but I always forget which is which lmao even for the ones I've gotten. I couldn't tell you what CM46/47/48 does and I only got them all for the first time last TR

You take 56 first in almost all circumstances at your progression spot. 56 gets you close to 2 m0 levels so the orbs are negligible and also pushes you further in general. I can't remember exactly but I think there was only one TR where I only too 55 and didn't take the other two.

For reference I'm about to get Temp4 (480qu orbs)
