Nyan nyan necro nyan....

With the mission cr nerf, I usually recipe dive/run RJP nowadays. Would Clockworks runs for places like FSC give out more cr and heat than the missions?
Oh, and who stole the Phantoms' GFs? The wiki shows them carrying one o.0

Someone said some

Someone said some missions/arcade got buffed. Supposedly, the T2 bosses.

Fsc is still great for heat. Still great for cr. The only reason people are complaining is they can't have the 12k payout anymore. As if anything less than 12k is below breaking even.

For all the boss floors, you'll still need to run pre-basil if you don't get a jump to basil. And so, unless you get a recipe, you make less than just doing the mission. With the payouts now balanced, both are equally viable for cr. Arcade for possible boss recipe and lockbox, or missions for a guaranteed amount of crowns.

Maybe the gremlins?

I heard FSC is about 7k crowns per run, not including tokens. Since each token is 1k, assuming the boss isn't any trouble, that'll be 2k per 10 energy, as opposed to 1k per 10 energy for rise or fall. RJP gives out less than FSC, but with less lag and easier traps/enemies would it still be viable for crowns? I'm assuming FSC is still the bigger heat farm compared to RJP.
So, if you're doing a recipe run, you could choose the FSC gate, wouldn't that be good profit anyway? Assuming you have the crowns to buy 5* recipes, that is. If you buy a few 5* recipes and sell them, making around a 5-7k profit(according to current AH prices) that would be at about 1.5k per recipe run, plus the old FSC cr and heat rewards(12k? Or 10k since they fixed the statue bug?), wouldn't that make you a big bunch of cr? Unless the Clockworks FSC got nerfed?

I heard that Graveyard stages got nerfed, i was wondering what the nerf was, and whether a Phantom carrying a GF had anything to do with it. I heard the nerf was the difference between running through the stage and farming it. Doesn't sound that bad though, with the low recovery time on GF. Maybe it was something else?

So, I just did a missions

So, I just did a missions rjp. They gave it more cr, now its around 3k for the 3 floors. I'm betting you can get just under 3k by doing the first 2 floors. Cr/ce-wise, fsc is still better. But cr/time, rjp could very well be better.

In theory, your recipe run does work. A full t3 fsc run nets around 8k, and tack on the recipe profits to bring it over 12k. But, basil might not have boss recipes. As numerous as they are, t3 basil does not give 3* recipes. And he could just be filled with hall recipes. Its all a gamble. No guarantee of a boss recipe, and such.

I think the phantom limit was reduced, and the respawn timer increased. Reaction times might have also been nerfed, but maybe not.
