Since finding out that the JKP was slightly/majorly/"whatever-it-was-getting-boring-anyways-for-grinding" nerfed for crowns I finally decided to do move on to the Tier 3 runs... more specifically, the Fire Storm Citadel.

I took on Vanaduke Himself as well! --Intense it was! (lost horribly)

I'm mostly only 4* geared, but I'm lucky with the support and defense route (Grey Owlite Shd and Shivermist). The SilverSix is awesome in these levels and it also tempts me to make the Argent Peacemaker too!

IDK where I'm getting at with this post..... I guess the game just got more interesting for me at the "grinding" aspect of this game since the Tier 3 realm is so fierce..... even the irritating CONSTRUCT levels add flavor (and decent token gear) and tier 2.

Keep the positive changes and tweak the slow parts.

FSC has always been more

FSC has always been more profitable than JK; most people just lack the skill to do it either solo or in a group.

FSC aint more profitable

its more profitable crowns/energy, but it takes way longer to do, if u dont sell the mats JK is still more profitable, if u get any 5* mat though its already worth it(almost any, hate cores)

JKP still more profitable even after Update?

(Subject line)

......... Actually, even if it still was, I am still going to get used to doing the FSC more often now. Variety man..

...

think the best now is do the arena at depth 19 on the royal jelly gate, cuz its only strat 5 its pretty fast gives around 800-900 crowns, a few tokens and sun silvers ( got 2 in 5 trys :D), just do it and go back up. do it go back up.

fsc isn't that hard - but it

fsc isn't that hard - but it is more time consuming. The last 2 levels have some tricks that make them easier, if you can manage these levels without any revive than you'll profit even more.

Vana is also pretty good for his tokens, and he's a good challenge from jk since jk was mostly about status (fire / poison / curse) and beating his heal, where vana is more about game play.

I'm kinda glad they nerfed jk cr, and kinda not... On one hand - I feel it's pretty UNrewarding now, even if it still pays more just seeing mobs pop and drop nothing sucks... But at the same time, it was paying WAY too much.

Personally - I think a better option was to have every tier end with a higher payout level (arena or something) with at least 1 arena option through each strata.
