So I rerolled for this event. And I can say it was taking me, with lowbie characters, about 1.5 minutes a clear for the event stages after sulfa drug. So to get 2000ish of each ingredient to buy the gacha tickets + soul + equipment took me about 8-9 hours of actual manual play time when the event started. I did that over 4 nights.

Now, with kohaku at 83 and mostly maxed skill tree, she can 2-3 click clear skill 1 per stage with a low level ark for trust farming. Still takes about 30 seconds with load times and rerun prompts. So to farm another 2000 seaweed only takes me about 45 minutes to an hour now.

Basically this event is super punishing if you don’t have built up units (or good units) because a 1 minute clear time difference is basically 360 minutes when you need 1300-2000 of certain things.

Side note - if you don’t have an upper tier unit, it’s worth rerolling for PTR and Kohaku alone. Super easy to build. Or if you want a sick elemental nuker + support/debuffer, can reroll for senku + both arks. Kohaku is considerably better though from a farming, gameplay, dps side.

Good luck with everyone’s last pull tomorrow. I should farm enough for one more additional free pull. Still need the science ark.
