Board 8 > Tales of Crestoria Topic 3 - Grinding for Hemp

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was spending my BP on some more raids for Strange Cores, but then I stopped because I think I want to save most of my BP for the event

---

Do you save over 10 bp? I figured if I had more then 10 it was worth it to use it so I could get it to refill naturally. The only way to go over the cap is leveling up your rank, right?

---

I've got 21 atm. Spent nearly all of it getting mats to get Sorey to 100.

---

But yeah, only leveling makes you go over cap.

Though I had like 90 only a couple days ago

---

Lol, Bruh I feel lucky a enough with 2 Velvets, much less 5. And one of those was my freebie.

In terms of actual luck, I got a Julius SSR. No way I'm taking fully adorned fully Ascended Kyle off of Velvet, though (She did a 180k Mystic Arte during a raid once), and it's not. Very appropriately for Sorey who already has the maxed out SR Reid, so onto Kohaku it goes.

---

When you add in the 69 (nice) test runs I did before to all the pulls I've done since starting the game...I've still never gotten a Velvet outside of the one I got to manually choose. She's hardly the only SSR I haven't gotten, but if nothing else it makes me really appreciate the 'pick your favorite character so you don't go insane' freebie you get early on.

---

I haven't even broken 100K with one hit yet...

Velvet + Kyle + Crit is free real estate for damage, but you would need something like a 100 hit combo preceding the Mystic Arte to get those numbers.

---

I got Yuri [standard] today so I ought to try some big hit some time

---

It bugs me that Yuri is more or less a better version of Lloyd. Why does the guy who uses two swords have a basic attack with one hit?

I did get the 100+ hit reward for that match, yeah.

---

.. i only now found out guild points are individual and not a shared pool

<_<

---

You get 3k a day from donations if you max it, and 5k for every guild level up.

---

I've been doing my donations!

and now I have just about 90k unused points just stored up lmao

Is standard Yuri better than summer Yuri? My current team is Lloyd ludger summer Yuri and SSR misella, with cress in the sub slot with Jade(my favorite Sr, I don't have a 6th SSR yet). But to the point, summer Yuri and Lloyd seem pretty different to me (Lloyd all def but still balanced atk and hp, whereas summer Yuri is below average atk and def but an insane hp pool) but maybe I'm missing something

---

Summer Yuri is a totally different character than normal Yuri. You can take a look here:

The A-Team, reporting in.

I will make up my relative lack of SSR luck with a good old fashioned G R I N D

Cross your fingers for Spada!

---

God has arrived

50 strange cores for exchange from the event

---

You guys better use my Repede for this fire event!!

---

Kind of annoying you can only get gold tokens from raids. I liked that I could just do the whole event with AP =/

---

And also the fact that I can't even host raids atm >_>

---

Going to sleep so can't do the story, but did a couple raid aids and Jesus christ the difference of having 3 water SSRs of my own versus the 0 earth SSRs I had for the last event.

---

There's someone who keeps joining my Very Hard raid and one shotting the boss. It's really annoying. Dunno what's happening.

---

Oh, and it's a little wierd that they're explicitly giving you an extra copy of each Memoria this time.

---

As soon as I swap a Patty Memoria onto Repede, I do a 10summon and get a Repede memoria.

lmao

---

Oh my god there's a Rank 46 on my supports list that has a level 1 genis with no memoria as his water support, fuck off with that shit you troll

---

Why in the world is the AI so bad at healing. Just check for the lowest hp character and heal them, why would you randomize that

---

... so many def-down buffs during raids

---

I don't know if it's just my phone but the game runs like ass on mobile data even if the speed is fast.

When I'm on wifi the game runs seamlessly in raids. Every turn is quick and there's no lag or connecting between the player attack and the raid attacking back. My attack round ends and the enemy instantly goes.

When I'm on mobile data there's a very distinct 3-5 second delay between my attack round ending and the raid boss performing its attack.

It's like when I'm on wifi the game is constantly sending/receiving data but on mobile data it only sends/receives at the end of the attack round or there's some sort of delay in it doing so. Even when the mobile data is running as fast as my wifi.

Oh wow, the fuck. The gold medals aren't guaranteed? I got like 4 from Hard so assumed they were but then when I just hosted Very Hard I got zero.

that's a run I had with mega manny awe yeah

---

Velvet dupe from the first event summon ticket. Yes!

---

Heads-up, everyone: in a few days there's going to be a one-time special summon where you get a guaranteed SSR if you pull with 2500 gleamstones. So save up enough for that.

Opposite for me. Running on data is smoother than Wifi.

---

I feel like silver medals are far more plentiful than berries were, but I haven't dug deep to see if the costs of items reflects that or they're making that stuff easier to get because the gold medal stuff will be harder.

---

Unlocked the challenge SSR ticket. Got Vicious. Game seems hellbent on giving me the full roster before dupes

And it doubles down on it. Stahn from the first SR ticket i bought in event store.

I have now pulled 19 SSRs and 18 of them have been unique. 1 dupe Leon is all I've gotten

I've seen four Repedes in most of my friend supports today, AND NONE OF THEM ARE YOURS ;_;

---

Bought 50 Strange Cores at once.

Is this a dream?

---

What the fuck my support Kannono just did 176K in one hit

>_<

---

Seeing my Repede do like 20K hits makes me happy

---

Man, literally every free summon ticket I've used throughout the game's lifespan has been an R.

I don't know why they think the Princessia is the ascension stopgap, at least according to which awards cost the most, but if it makes it easier to buy the actual important stuff I'm not complaining.

---

I understand why, because you can only get it from gold chests right?

But it's like the ONLY thing you get from Gold Chests so whenever you get one it's gonna be a flower.

You're running out of new units. Something has to give soon.

I'm at nine unique SSRs and two dupes now.

My kingdom for one more Sorey

---

If you're talking about the actual rate or of CHEST drops, the flower is TECHNICALLY the most valuable item, but you need so few of them and there's no alternatives for it's chest color, so the math on that end doesn't work out.

---

Lloyd x2
Luke
Kanonno
Velvet
Misella
Stahn x3
Rutee [summer]
Yuri
Asbel
Jude
Chronos
Kanata

so twelve characters three dupes

A raw 20% defense bonus to all wind allies is nothing to scoff at.

At my current rate, my first fully awakened may end up either Estelle or Kohaku. Both are at +3.

I saw a fully awakened Summer Rutee yesterday and just shook my head.

---

The Event Raid is so hot right now I think it may not even be worth it to leave a raid you start to start another one. Pretty sure the math works out better to just stick with it until the end 2 minutes later, at least for the moment.
