Lets get together and collect massive amouts of data with detail naming the best places to farm for each type of orb, each type of fire crystal, each type of material, which missions are the fastest for getting your specific item, and so forth
A Detailed Encyclopedia Of The Absolute Best Places To Farm For Each Specific Item
I think skeptic is already doing that somewhere.
We've been doing stuff like this for years. We've just been waiting for you to join in. See for example
* Data for Fire Crystal/Orb and Arcade farming
* Confirming treasure box equipment drops
* Lancer Knightz mission payout data
See also tons of related data collection including
* Forging data
* Monster damage
* Damage against lost souls at depth 24
* Let's figure out how statuses work once and for all
* Damage vs. armor and shields analysis
I look forward to all of your contributions of data.
Although I dont record the type of orb, FC or material, my data does show the rates of obtaining some of them.
Orbs are most often found on a stratum equal to their star count.
FCs are as tweeter listed above.
Materials can be guided by the gate info (in game).
Treasure box rates in the arcade can be found in my other thread. There are still some in which the averages are still rather volatile.
I got it.
Stratum 1: Flawed orbs/Warm Crystals.
Stratum 2/Wildwoods: Simple orbs/Warm Crystals.
Stratum 3: Advanced orbs/Glowing Crystals
Stratum 4/Jelly King/Ironclaw Factory: Elite Orbs/Glowing/Shining Crystals.
Stratum 5: Eternal Orbs/Shining Crystals
Stratum 6: Eternal Orbs/Shining Crystals
Depths 26-28 Eternal Orbs/Radiant Crystals.
