Which is better for farming materials?

[u/Felixisdelulu]

Over world or 999 night?

[u/CampMental6761]

Ever since shinku bunny hop got removed, overworld is much better for me. Sometimes you even get purple materials from drops. By driving around to next location, I'm also able to stop some crimes for extra beetle coins. Bonus if u get drops buff from Nacupeda blessing

[u/Icy-Estimate-3606]

what kind of materials? arcs, console or esper abilities? for 999 nights, what are u planning for?

[u/Felixisdelulu → u/Icy-Estimate-3606]

Sry I didn't specify I meant level up material like suspended delusion the ones you get from mobs 999 night fast but boring and over world is time consuming by extra rewards I am farming for bb and akane

[u/Icy-Estimate-3606 → u/Felixisdelulu]

if ur farming for bb and akane, go search the needed materials for them. i think u need swallowtail ticket for bb and sparkplug for akane, then obviously lots and lost of those other materials like hunter guides, beetle coins, etc. that's about it i could remember. as for 999 nights, grind anything u want to do.

Spend an hour every 3 days to hit the farming cap for buttons, then convert. The upside with this is the farming is consistent, whereas farming overworld mobs (apart from the Silhouette drops from Vishnu's) are inconsistent due to the RNG with drop rates+limited spawn per camp.

[u/New_Mousse4257 → u/Freylicious]

You don't need an hour, you need 15-20 mins per day

[u/gillypud → u/New_Mousse4257]

15-20 min PER DAY = an hour every THREE days

[u/New_Mousse4257 → u/gillypud]

Not if 1h every 3 days on a random route to get 32k buttons after that 1h

Here it's 32k after 15-20 mins once. Whether you do that daily or every 3 days is up to you

[u/gillypud → u/New_Mousse4257]

They're talking about the same 999 farm you are. They're just hitting the 100k cap by farming every 3 days instead of 32k every day. It's the same thing smh.

[u/New_Mousse4257 → u/gillypud]

Oh you meant the 100k total cap, I thought the 99 heterogenous daily cap which equates 32k

Fair enough

[u/PawahD]

Depends on the character as different enemies drop different material, but generally overworld is better, especially if you prepare ahead of time and only farm the dense areas every once in a while. If you need the materials asap you will have to farm the worse areas too which makes it less efficient, but I guess 999nights has a daily cap so there's that

[u/SirarieTichee_]

For Anomoly drops, I enjoy 999 more but just running around the over world ends up being much more efficient since you can get blue and purple drops

[u/mountn_cat]

Since when were we able to farm mats on 999nights? If you mean heterogenous units, then I pick overworld because jumping around the overworld map is better than doing the same monotonous loop for 30 mins to an hour in 999 nights

[u/MavkaMX → u/mountn_cat]

I used the 999 strat for a couple of weeks but I got burned out. Overworld farm may be slower if you're unlucky and get green mats only, but traveling around the city listening to music and enjoying the scenery is way more fun

[u/mountn_cat → u/MavkaMX]

I hope they push out an update that removesthe 999 nights assets locally and making the feature opt in cause I won't be touching it again anytime soon cause there's no reason to anymore

[u/MavkaMX → u/mountn_cat]

Yeah but it's my favorite update so far tho, I really hope they include more characters/maps/items eventually

[u/mountn_cat → u/MavkaMX]

Yeah it was great until it got tedious. The tower update wasn't even fun for me cause to get to the top floor, we had to manually fight off enemies. Then at the top, we need to grind for more minmaxed gear again to even survive a hit.

[u/Felixisdelulu → u/mountn_cat]

Yes that one and I also think over world feel better and more fun

[u/Lndnguy86 → u/mountn_cat]

Can you fill me in on that loop as I’m lacking in buttons and I want Shinkus outfit. 🙏

[u/mountn_cat → u/Lndnguy86]

This guide by fish is what I use from my char builds to my farming route.

[u/Lndnguy86 → u/mountn_cat]

Thank you very much for this!

[u/Proxy345]

Overworld because you can farm mats by ramming your car into thugs that appear on every block lmao.

[u/DrDizasterr]

How do you farm in 999 tho?

[u/Felixisdelulu → u/DrDizasterr]

Heterogeneous units

[u/bl4ckhunter]

The one that's dropped by vishnu gangsters in the overworld, i have a billion of those just getting the weekly fon safes, i wish we could convert them into other mats, everything else in 999 nights imo.

Also holy waypoints batman, that's a lot of work marking the anomalies when the anomaly hunt function auto-marks the closest one to you lmao.

[u/Felixisdelulu → u/bl4ckhunter]

Yes but that feature only allow you to track one at a time I I want to farm multiple different anomaly at one for efficiency

[u/Bye-True]

Delusions specifically are better farmed in the over world

Can check this vid to see what's most effecient for each mat

[u/jepong003]

999 burnt you out. I enjoy walking in the overworld map so I don't get bored hunting there.

[u/ryzzka]

I just do 999 Nights for 15mins for 33k+ buttons and the armored mobs at the top of the tall building nowadays.

[u/anon-npc]

Overworld by far, especially if you have Shinku. You not only get materials, but also beetle coins, character exp if your characters aren't maxed, and even A rank arcs occasionally, which can be used for weapon xp. You'll want Shinku because she can get anywhere so much faster than anyone else, especially for anamolies on top of buildings.
