General Tips
- Purchase & Equip the Event Shop CE (
) ASAP to increase drops, which help clear the Event Point Ladder! 
Sei Shounagon has bonus damage (+100%) and bonus Bond Point Experience (+50%), so bringing her along can help speed up farming!- Equip
to boost Event Shop currency drops! - Be wary of MLBing the Event Shop CE too early. It is better to have non-MLB copies so the total possible bonus is higher, until 7 copies are reached (1x MLB + 2x Non-MLB = 120% bonus total)
* 4x = +120% drops.
* 1x MLB (requires 5 copies) = +60% drops.
Walkthrough TL;DR
The below is a summary of the general flow of the event. The more detailed walkthrough provides information about enemies / drops to expect from each quest.

General Daily Event Flow:
1) Complete Main Quests available.
2) Clear Free Quests and purchase Event Shop CE ASAP. Redeem Chocolates for Valentine's CEs.

| 4 | Free - Novice (30 AP) | Run once. This node has the lowest drop rates, so it isn't the best farming choice. 1) Purchase the Event Shop CE ASAP and equip to maximize Point drops!2) Remember to bring Valentine's CEs in extra CE slots to boost Point drops!

| Note | End of Day 1! Masters should hold off on using AP Fruit for now, since the Free Quest nodes available are rather suboptimal. For Masters who really wish to get a head start, they can farm: - Advanced -> Buy 2x with - Intermediate -> Buy 1x with - Novice -> Buy 1x with Even so, it isn't highly recommended to farm any quest other than Advanced due to lower drop rates, however, especially since the best Bronze, Silver, and Gold nodes will open on ~Day 3, 4, and 5 respectively. | ||

| Event Completed! | Congratulations, all Main Quests have been completed! At this point, all Free Quests are available, so Masters may farm freely. Most of the limited items are in the Event Point Ladder, so if in a hurry, farming the last Free Quest is fine. Otherwise, it is best to first farm Event Shop currencies until the desired items are purchased, before switching to dedicated Point farming.

Should I use Apples?
- No, if only a point ladder clear is desired (to obtain Valentine's CEs); for event shop clears, Maybe.
- Natural Regen AP will be approximately 3980 AP throughout the event.
- Clearing each quest at least once costs 395 AP.
- To clear the Event Point ladder while ignoring the Event Shop, about 2475 AP is required.
- For clearing the Event Shop (no monuments, EXP, or 3* Fous), this will take approximately 4195 AP. This includes clearing the Point Ladder, which likely requires a few runs of the final Free Quest to clean up points.
- For clearing the Event Shop (no monuments, but with Fous and EXP) and Event Point Rewards, this will take approximately 4635 AP.
- For a full Event Shop clear including monuments and Event Point rewards, this total reaches 5635 AP to clear all pieces and monuments. In this case usually by the time the Event Shop is cleared, the Event Point Ladder will also be cleared (unless you have a high number of event Gacha CEs, in which you can run the final Free Quest difficulty for point cleanup).
- The amount of AP required can be reduced with more copies of Event CEs. Additional copies of 4* or 5* CEs must be obtained in the gacha, while 3* CEs can be obtained in the Friend Point Gacha (at a low rate).
- Assumptions for the above AP costs (uses "first timer worst case scenario with no Friend Point Gacha luck", AP reduced if more bonus available):
- Up to +1 : From Non-MLB Friend Support .
- Up to +1 : From Non-MLB Friend Support .
- Up to +2 : From quest reward copy of and a Non-MLB Friend Support .
- Up to +120%-180% : From buying & equipping ASAP 4x shop (Avoid MLB unless 8+ copies from drops) and a Non-MLB or MLB Friend Support
