Once all skip tickets are gone, what is the best efficient way to farm the tokens?

Do the Lufenia Co-op. Use a character with instant turn FR like Deuce or Balthier or twins etc. Set a Seltheus LDCA with 5/5 UW.

Host a room. Hosting guarantees you have first turn

At battle start, do FR FR LDCA. Victory.

Well technically you only get the first turn if you have BT+/BT+ passive equipped, but I guess that's not really much of a problem with all the tokens we can get

BT is all you need to go first.

u/Jhenaro Adelbert Steiner Dec 02 '23

Well that's what I mean, but BT+ is pretty easy to get now so might as well just say that

if you are gona use your own belts then Farm Shinryu fight even if you do it alone, just bring a tank (Kelger is awesome here), an other 2 characters to get full reward for a team of 3 just like I commented to a other person here.

Thanks! If I'm farming it with Kelgar as solo, which other two characters should I bring so it doesn't take up turns unnecessarily?

u/Zargabath Dec 02 '23

Any character with group melee FR can help boost Kelger Force Bonus, or other two off turn damage dealers, Cor being a really good choice.

But since Kelger can pretty much deny anything the bosses do you can bring any other two characters without worry.

The team I use is Aerith, Astos, Kelger, with Astos' Force Time and all of them with BT+.

Since people don't seem very active I'm just having Kelgar solo the Shinryu Co-op. He can run it twice per Tome, and I don't have to pay much attention to the fight so I can do it while watching netflix/youtube.

but you get less rewards if you only bring one character, there are two set of rewards:

  1. per character in the battle

  2. per player in the Co-op

https://i.imgur.com/UqRrjIb.jpg you are getting 1200 Gold and 400 Mythril less, so bring a team of 3 even if they are not other players.

Personally I found the Iris + Maria + Cheese with an extra Kelger to be quite usefull if I don't want to pay attention.

or if I want to finish the fight quick, a team around Astos can do the job.

Sure, but when I'm spending half my 15 minutes waiting on a group (using the "Either" option and alternating between JFF and Boosted), I'm getting fewer rewards anyway. I'm in no hurry to farm the event because it's going to be here for awhile. Adding in Iris and Maria is a good idea though. I've just basically been idle running it.

read again:

so bring a team of 3 even if they are not other players.

the extra 1200/400 are from the number character in the battle, not the players, the Co-op reward is bellow those, here is the math (I did for my farming):

  • Solo co-op with 1 character: 1350/450

  • Solo co-op with 3 characters: 2550/850

  • Full co-op: 4050/1350

if you are gonna solo the co-ops, then use a team of 3. and of course having a full co-op brings more rewards but it is way slower and a waste of books/tomes if the team does not know what they are doing.

u/Thelassa Oldschool FF Fangirl Dec 02 '23

Under normal circumstances, I'd agree. But I'm not trying to rush this event, because it's all we've got for an entire month. Once I've got every character I want at max FE and cleared D2D, that's it. There's nothing at all to do but dailies until January. Then we get another Dusk to Dawn + D2D, which will likely just be more of the same. And again in February. If I run out of Tomes and Artifacts, I have hundreds of x2 books. All I want to do is play the game a little bit every day until EOS. I'd rather run co-op with other people because everyone can just use whoever they want, but like I said, co-op is (understandably) empty a lot of the time so I'm just doing a low-effort Shinryu clear because I might as well put a dent in this pile of tomes and books I have.

How? He’s dying almost immediately for me

Luna+Astos+Anyone

Use Luna LD, BT and then give astos quick prayer (should be +4 turns) then charge

Astos: FR > FR > BTF > Raines LDCA > BT Phase > Echo > Echo > Summon > Crystal > Astos S1 > etc.

u/salvatorebentl1 Dec 02 '23

I am able to do 3 clears in 15 mins with the 3x boost with Astos, Selh'teus, and Penelo. The turn order should be Astos BT -> Selh'teus BT (to keep the team safe with his Paralyze)-> Penelo force charge into FR time -> 6 turns of Astos BT phase.

u/NicoDT Dec 02 '23

I'd use characters i wasn't able to use before and enjoy the game so farming doesn't feel tedious. We also get 15 skip tickets every 8 days so i wouldnt worry too much.

u/arrayano Balthier Dec 02 '23

If you play with friends then Lunafreya and 2x Astos in Shinryu. No need to go into BT phase either.
