yeah, i fell to 203. about 60k BT between me and rank 200. Not going to bother with anything now other than trying to not fall below 300, which i highly doubt will happen if i just maintenance grind.

Actually, i'll probably just go to sleep. I'm at 5227699 BT.

Rank 207 is at 5161409, which is 600k below me. Grinding won't make much difference at this point, if they want to spend the cash to get rank, aint nothin' i can do. :)

In a perfect world, with just pure grinding, i get 1440 x 12 every hour, there are 6 hours left, i could make approx. 100000 BT, which would put me into lower than 200 bracket IF and only if, time stopped still for everyone else. XD

On the other side of the coin, grinding won't do any good, because i can only make 100k, if 4 ranks below me is 60k away, don't think 96 more people are going to rush to spend money. i hope.

LOL @ masques only lasting 10 minutes instead of 15 like event items usually do. Just making it a little bit harder for free players to get by.

That's crap. Used to be able to get 2 sets in, now it will be 1 only. :/

I ended up rank 213 or something, doesn't really matter in the end I suppose because I got Trommel.

Gonna play this event very casually, I don't even have an event unit. So I'll set Lev as lead and try to be on for anyone who is. :)

Man, i'm blind! I didn't see you sneak in here. Welcome! I have 30/30 spots on my main, but if you want a scrubby 5* alt of mine, let me know. I can send an invite. Not on as frequently, but might be good for your 24/7 allies active period until you find someone better to replace it.

let me know. :D

Im always down for new allies. I have a few people from here already which has been a huge help(ID is 42206819 if you want to add). And thank you!

How high in level did you guys get before you started making a dent in BT points?

Just got a monster back from foraging, they found me Jiang Shi, a 4* monster unit. Neato. I also got a premium ticket from Leana earlier, got a new 2* unit, Rick. There's apparently one more new 2* unit along with him.


Also, if you have anything from last event that isn't Mandarine or the Citrus one, I'd like to album please :\

For everyone's information, here's how monster foraging works:

From what i've found, rewards are random. I've sent out a bunch of trash 1* monsters and gotten goddesses, luna, ally points, (p) potions and time elixirs, but no 4* yet (which I think is a super low chance). I've sent out my 5* monsters (had a few that were still level 1) and I got the same stuff.

For each level of the monster, it's 45 minutes out. Level 1 monster is 45 minutes regardless if it's a 1 or 6* monster. 2* = 1h30m, etc. etc.

Potions knock off a static 6 hours. If you have less time than 6 hours it instant completes.

Packs increase the chance of getting something more rare, but I've never noticed too much of a difference.

Oh and yeah, your monster can come back with 1 luna, which seems like a rip off, but check out how much XP it gets, usually when it brings back 1 luna it gets some insane amount of XP.

These events are the friendliest for "free" players, but without a good team of event units that are leveled, and the right arena units, you'll hit a wall on the PVP side. the tower climb side is good once you hit 6th floor.

Also, these events are usually pretty hard to get the 6*, not to mention they decreased the event item timers this time around. :( Down from 15 minutes to 10, which cuts the number of attempts you can make while under the influence in half.

Even with the event items atr 15 mins. it's a close call unless you don't sleep and ride the timers.

yeah gotta do like 40k pts a day lol?
I'll be lucky to hit 20k a day, but we'll see.

Got 45 wins so far on pvp side, 7k bt total. Getting only 80 bt per win kinda sucks hehe.

The kicker will be the no trade thing? whats up with that lol. Will transfer whatever spare tickets my alt has before that i guess.

lol

Siriponga is quitting, he's the insane Thai guy that grinded Stiria the first time she was released.

The Thai community is supposedly pretty upset, but kinda stupid of them to get upset. Not like Fanta hasn't proven time and time again that they make ludicrous decisions.

well it's prob harder this time to get her, but you got earlier head start I guess. Kinda lame the reward units dont do ***;;
Maybe the ones after head start will.

just hit 50 wins now, maybe i should just sell off my mask L hehe, but maybe will speed up alot once I hit 6th tower.

played around 10 hours so far only up to 8k bt;;

3 mil in this event is far easier actually. Also, consider the fact that they actually told people at the BEGINNING of the event this time as opposed to 3 days before the end. hehe

With all event units you can get 200-300 BT per pvp win.

On floor VI with a small or large mask active, you can get bosses that give 7000BT

yeah, but all the real points come from the BT bonuses on floor 6. Looks like the original event units for this give BT bonus and the new ones added today increase rare boss encounter rate.

PVP gives good points early, but the major chunk of BT will come from floor 6.
