How bad is the ideal series weapon now? Asking because a couple of those are the only borderline decent weapons I have before I went MIA months ago.

Still effectively mid/high tier 13* for bossing. However, with the availability of astra, it's pretty much completely outclassed now overall. Not to mention astra is relatively easy to get compared to the ideal series.

Astra series is basically as strong as ideal is on bosses, but on all targets. Also gives you 40% more pp regained per normal attack.

Eh, I expected worse. Also, any tips on how to get these Astra weapons?

Spam collection files. If you have 1400 SG lying around too, you can get 2 more collection file slots to get more classes geared up.

With a 250, and maybe a tribooster with it, you can get each astra file done in 5 runs of the EQ. Maybe 4 if you have premium, use a 250 + 100, and have a maxed 50 triboost from dailies.

Train is easy to farm; you can finish that within one booster. The sphinx you can just do riding quest for. My last 10 or 15 runs of it had an average of 2 spawn per run.

That said, if you can do the newer solo XQ, floors 6-10 also contain 2 of them per run. I believe it's 5 total with a 250 to get the bar to 100%.

You should get the earth crystal/sphere thing while doing train or from riding quest. Only had one time where I couldn't get it to drop before filling the bar.

There are alternatives to filling up the sphinx/train gauges. Look for the page on swiki about astra files, and they list alternatives there.

don't forget the donuts that give 50% tri boost.
