Megacryst farming of ELT, I have been getting 35 +/-5 per run (1.2-1.6/ENG) which is roughly the same ratio (1.0-1.7/ENG) as ADV according to the post below (20 +/-5). So, depending on your energy cap, it could save you time farming on ELT.

Example: 100 max energy, 4 runs on ELT = around 120-160 Megacrysts, 6 runs on ADV = around 90-150 Megacrysts

Also, I find having a strong Oldmandu (800 ATK+) with dual wield can Divine Ruination Dragon Junior in one turn (first strike imperils, second strike kills)

Have fun farming!!!

EDIT-- My mistake, it takes 2 Oldmandus to take out the Dragon Junior in one turn by themselves (1 Oldmandu gets it down to about 35%)

Quest is bugged. I lost the first try when time ran out (didn't realize it was a race against clock). I managed to get all four special chests with the ingredients to craft the special items but since I choose not to continue the quest and pay 100 lapis I lost all items. Now all chests are open but I can't get the crucial ingredients for the recipe...

I'm sure everyone noticed, but these expeditions are giving huge megacryst amounts. I'm getting an average of 22-28 per run on the adv [15 eng] Farm away! -edit:after running a bunch more, the average is closer to 20 per run. Still great tho. Heck it even gives you lumber to boot! -

As a random encounter in ELT there's a chance of encountering Dragon Junior with 100% Resistance to all elements except fire, and Magic Resist to boot. If you aren't prepared (like I wasn't) this can screw your run immediately given how you'll potentially deal no damage for 4 entire minutes until you game over.

--- I actually have encountered the dragon on the adv level too. It's rare, but does happen. -

All four flax craftables have a quantity-limited (1 or 2) component from the middle chests. So it seems once you have enough flax to craft two shields and one of the other three items, there's no use for any extra flax, right? Either stop farming (though the megacrysts are nice) or just sell the flax? Edit: Probably will wait at least until after the event period is over, especially since the second week is supposed to have different rewards. --Jrbexvius (talk) 14:05, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Event seems to not give a set amount of encounters within the 4 minute period by my observation. I've had at least one run where I got absolutely no encounters, whether this is a bug or not, I'm personally not sure. Did complete the event run regardless, had a boss battle and resource points so it's hard to tell. --Kemix1006 (talk) 18:24, 10 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Agreed. I asked a related question earlier, which you may have been responding to, but then removed it when I got some encounters near the boss and in the last minute or so. It just seems pretty unpredictable. --Jrbexvius (talk) 18:55, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

I also had some trouble with triggering encounters. It took me three tries to get the Esper summon goal on ADV. After twice running around for over a minute with a full Esper gauge & no encounters, I put Garnet in my team for my 3rd attempt & summoned an esper in the 2nd encounter.

If my calcs are correct, you need 29,542 red flax and 8,240 gold flax (and 15 fire megacryst) to craft all the items. I'm not so sure it's a good idea to go flat-chat after it early on, and end up with too much flax. So I am thinking, I will just do BEG level for the daily goals for now, until hopefully/maybe it becomes a bit clearer. There is always the option of spamming for it later in the event. Looking at the wiki page however, there is no mention of gold & red flax drops for day 8 missions onward. Does this mean that it might not be possible to farm it in week 2???

I had not noticed that the event was timed when I accessed the chests for the opals and the tung oil while I was in a surgery recovery unit waiting for pain medication to be released and administered, so using as a distraction and failing badly. As such, I completely failed the timer, but had found the chests and opened them. I did not notice that this cost me until the next couple days I was looking online to figure out where we were supposed to get the materials for the accessories, if there was a 2nd week opening when I found the statement that there was a bug for failure and losing the materials on the gamepedia information here. I am writing here to inform that I had contacted customer support with my request for restoration of the chests so on my next exploration or other options and customer support verified that I had accessed the chests but did not have the items, so they sent me all of my missed materials to me through the mail. I don't know if they will do this for everyone, but thought it might be of value to mention below that this is a bug and that contacting customer service might get the necessary items if the timer had been failed and not noticed early on.

I think Jade Moon Pendant might be the must-grab here. Cost 6400 red flax, 1780 gold flax.

DEF+8, SPR+8, Additional effect: Enables use of Exorcise Jade (Increase resistance to poison, blind, sleep, silence, paralyze, confuse, and disease (100%) for 2 turns to all allies), Females only

This could be very helpful against ailment-inflicting bosses that may cross your path. Put it on a healer (whom are conveniently always female) or another female support unit :)

- I'm not too much a fan of this event. Of the items you'll be able to craft, the Jade Moon Pendant is the best one to get. Everything else isn't worth it in my opinion. This event is good for megacryst farming, as everyone has mentioned plenty of times above. I've already stacked up on megacrysts from previous events, so I don't really need to waste my material slots for any more... --MikeCOOL (talk) 15:49, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
