Introduction
- Free Quests in this event generally follow the rule of the latest quest being the best node for each currency, with the exception of Secret Party (Costing 5x Crystal Wreath, which essentially is 2.5 Million QP per run, making it not worthwhile).
- Note that the Lottery in the rerun is no longer infinite, so only up to 6,000
need to be collected to clear out all the boxes. Any additional Sand of the Underworld can be exchanged for Crystal Wreaths or QP. - Free Quests are time-gated by Main Quest progress, so spending apples for farming is recommended to be held off until the later nodes are unlocked.
- Event Shop currency
bonus is provided by both Event Bonus CEs and Event Bonus Servants, while Lottery Currency bonus is only provided by Event Bonus CEs. Make sure to remember to equip / bring Friend Supports + Servants with desired drop bonus! - Generally speaking, taking at least a total of +4 Sand drop bonus on average when farming (2x MLB
Merry Sheep, or 4x non-MLB) is more than enough to clear out the lottery boxes well before the Event Shop will be cleared (especially with a full clear; it will be very close with a few extra 7th Gate runs for a no-monuments clear). - For Friend Supports, try to prioritize Gacha CEs
that provide Currency drop bonuses, unless you have plenty of gacha CEs yourself and instead do not have an MLB Lottery drop bonus CE on hand, and can save a CE slot by borrowing a Friend Support with an MLB version. - If you only care about getting / Max Ascending+NP5 Attila the San(ta), you can run 7th Gate exclusively for Lottery Currency . All her items are from the Lottery (and only the first 5 grand prizes are needed + 16 Wreaths, which are obtained from 4 full boxes). However, this is not the most efficient, as all other nodes drop ; if any Event Shop items are also desired, then farming Shop Currencies at the same time ends up being more efficient.
