Talk:Shrine of Ru'Avitau

I just want to point out the bleeding obvious, which is that the LGD Boss can be taken out pretty easily with a Tornado-chaining combo.

For me that is job done on LGD (so long as you got the Esper & LB goals of course), I remain a firm believer in farming ELT for the rest of the fortnight...

Better to farm elite with a bunch of bonus or led with less bonus? Stiga (talk) 21:23, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

 * it depends? You didn't give a lot of details so I'mma make some assumptions here: Legend is ~650 mk currency per run, elite is ~420 (legend also has a significant higher chance of bonus mobs). If you have no 200 or 100% bonus units, only 75% units, then a party of five 75% units is +375%, plus another 100 or 200% from friend unit, which I'm assuming is strong enough to basically solo elite. So running elite with that party would get you either 1995 or 2415 currency. At 25 nrg, that's 79.8 or 96.6 currency per NRG.


 * Legend is harder, so you need two mages to chain tornadoes (or whatever other chainers you have). That's only three 75% units (+225%) and the friend unit. Running legend with this party of either +325 or +425 gets you 2762 or 3412 currency. At 40 NRG, that's 69.1 or 85.3 currency per NRG. This appears inferior but still is about the same due to more common bonus mobs.


 * If you only need one DPS and can bring four of the 75% units, then you get either 3250 or 3900 currency per run, which amounts to 81.25 or 97.5 per NRG.


 * To summarize: if you can clear legend with at least +300% in your own bonus units + friend unit, then legend is better than elite at +375% in bonus units + friend unit.

 * Personally, I base my decision to farm ELT on the base currency per NRG being about the same on ELT vs LGD. Balance that against a greater chance of rewards versus greater chance of failure (and wasting 40 NRG from a slight mistake) on LGD. Quite frankly, it is tedious enough doing these things for 2 weeks, so I like to keep the stress levels down just a tad. Also, I am F2P, so I rarely pull the very best Bonus units needed to really pull off LGD without needing non-bonus ones. I did get a Livid Shantotto this time, but she isn't exactly the best chainer around. - Shakers


 * Speaking of Livid Shantotto, I think I know how she got her "Livid" name... with her only chaining moves locked behind LB orbs, she must have "stormed" out of the room when she found out she wasn't at least getting Tornado :-) -Shakers

I've decided to farm LGD in the end with 2 personal tornado chaining units (dark Fina and Barbariccia) and using thee joachim and a100-200% friend. I find there is a huge boost in light elemental & gold bomb units. So even if I get the same amount of crystals I only have to do 3-4 battles than 6-8 battles in ELT so the time savings alone made me decide to stick with LGD. So I'm probably not maxing the way I could. Thanks for the insight. Stiga (talk) 20:56, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

LGD should be better unless you are extremely unlucky
I know I am late to this one but it may help you for future MK events

If you can solo carry LGD and the LGD is was better. I run a sample of 20 runs 2 different accounts one only went to ELT the other only LGD, without taking into account bonus units ELT account was averaging 21 currency per energy whereas the LGD account was averaging 50. So even if you need 2 carries 50 over 21 is still better.

On an extreme scenario of all 7* units including firend in LGD if you need 2 spots you will have 4 200% bonus = 800% so you will be making 50 + 400 = 450 per energy wheras in ELT lets assume you can do with all bonus units all are 7* so 6 200% = 1200% whixh is 21 + 252 = 273 currency per energy.

And numbers are not exagerrated in LGD you get often 2 bonus battles and it's quite common that one of them in 3* the 1000 bonus.

If you have Rinoa like myself you can just triple tornado untill the boss and there have someone use World detroyer if you don't have any buffs and you can kill the boss with triple cast Apocalypse (my Rinoa has 1600 MAG). that is without even chaining you can even cheese some pod chains with the units if you have that and get higher mult with apocalypse and even add Bahamuth for some extra damage.

So yeah go LGD all the way you may get an unlucky day with LGD like when I decided to samp`le it on day 1 I was aveging 17 currency on LGD whereas ELT was ate 28 but next day numbers started shifting and it settled around 50 to 21 --Gure (talk) 00:59, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
