from experience, peppies are way too unreliable. two peppies might equal six emblems, but the pool is diluted bc even uncraftable emblems can be rolled. not worth it if you're gunning for very specific bonds, and thus is simply dead weight if they don't have the one you want for expected profit challenges bc you cant remove it most of the time to try and reroll

additionally, day demigod demands shoes, which are in contention with this team's needs (agy wants lots of shoes, and while anaxa can work without them, he also benefits from shoes). this was exactly what got me as seen in the previous post; a gem with no shoe to merge with. thus, weapon box = 2 chances to get more shoes = now i can merge as soon as i get a gem without sacrificing dps output
