The Art of Optimization: Liberating the Gloves Slot

Saw this Master Chronos meso making guide, looks promising.



Farmed 20min gotten no scrolls
At least there’s 1 gacha tix.

 

What? Of course we don’t! Not with my dogshit RNG. My median is always 0. That gacha drop probably my last and only.

 

Decided to hunt some Dual Ghost Pirate since I'm already in Ludi. They drop Green Pirate Skirts, which I could try hunting and scrolling for 18 DEX. The highest roll is 4 DEX 2 LUK.

I'm not gona do the drop timeline or whatever detailed listing anymore. This place is quite generous with equip drops.



Farmed for an hour and had gotten 26 equip drops, that's about 1 drop in every 2min 20sec.



Dropped 3 Green Pirate Skirts in total. Unfortunately, none of them got max rolled. Even so, the drop rate might be good enough to motivate me in continuing hunting for more.

Got about 2mil raw meso, and 3.9mil from selling drops. In addition, there's 29 Power Crystal Ores as well which can sell for about 700k. Estimated about 6.6mil/hr without any valuable drops isn't too bad actually.



The ETCs are used in one of the quests that has a chance to give valuable scrolls, so I'm putting them up for sale at 5k each and see how it goes. Got about 1.6k of them.



Gacha from 3 common:

 

Found a 4/2 Green Pirate Skirt at a reasonable price. I remember btm DEX 70% scrolls were around 2.5-3m 2 days ago.

 

Another Dual Ghost Pirate farming, but this time with added Bishop in the same map.



There's a section at the lower half of the map where genesis hits 3 platforms, while Shadower farms the bottom lane.



Once again, generous equip drops. Gotten 48 equips with 90min of farm,
bringing the rate from the previous,
1 drop in every 2min 20sec to roughly,
1 drop in every 1min 53sec.



Unfortunately, no maxed rolls for Green Pirate Blouse and Skirt.



None of the propellers were sold. I've gotten a lot of propellers so decided to drop the price to 1k each.


Result

3.8m raw meso
8.5m meso from sold drops
65 Power Crystal Ores, ~1.6m
1 Cape INT 60%, ~500k
4.4k Propellers

Estimated rate of 9.6m/hr farming with Shadower + Bishop at Dual Ghost Pirate.
Actually quite decent since I don't have to rely on high value item drops.


Gacha from 12 common, 2 rare:

 

I’m jealous of lucky player who passes scrolls.



Tried scrolling the 4/2 Green Pirate Skirt with 70% but failed on the 3rd slot.



Bought another 4/2 skirt to try again.



Got to +3 and boomed on the 4th.



Spent about 24mil on those.

Decided to trade CS for P5 and opened to 87 PCoins. Slightly below the expected of 90 but doesn’t actually feel bad, still a good amount of gain for those casual efforts. Can’t complain



Gave 36 coins to Coorie to repay the remaining “debt”. Listed all coins in store at 3.35mil each. With that, Coorie is less than 30mil away to complete the 2bil challenge, and I’ll be able to use the funds freely.

Now I’ve done a little bit of complain, a little bit of below average outcome, and some humble display, The next one’s gona be good right?

 

A quick summary update on the overall progress so far.

Farmed a total of about 12 hours at various locations since the beginning of the journal.

Earned about 130mil meso, average of 10.8mil/hr (CS earnings not included). Has 51 pcoins, estimated 166mil after tax.

Traded off 12 DEX Single Earring + 150mil for 13 DEX Gold Emerald Earrings, and spent 42mil on scrolls and some other stuff. After accounting, have about 254mil worth of meso and pcoins remaining.

Currently trying to scroll a Green Pirate Skirt (already failed 2) to 18 DEX, or purchase one, whichever comes first.

 

I’m looking into scrolling either a STR/DEX 1/4 or 2/4 Spectrum Goggles.

I’ll have to scroll 30% on clean 3-slots 1/2 or 2/2, or 2 slots with 1 less attempt. Price observed from past week:

3-slots 1/2 selling at 20-25m
3-slots 2/2 selling at 80-90m
2-slots 1/2 selling at 10m
2-slots 2/2 selling at 50m​

The outcomes I want would be one of these three for 3-slots:

+ + (9%)
+ - + (3.15%)
- + + (3.15%)​

Where + denotes pass, - denotes failed but no boom.


Considering the price of Eye for Accuracy 30% scrolls to be negligible, and using the prices above, the estimated cost to make:

3-slots 1/2 expected of 131-164mil
3-slots 2/2 expected of 523-589mil
2-slots 1/2 expected of 112mil
2-slots 2/2 expected of 556mil​

 

I'm a little addicted to farming Dual Ghost Pirate. Always thrilled to see the drops of Green Pirate Blouse and Skirt, hoping for the high roll, like a mini gacha of some sort.



This time gotten a 6/2 Green Pirate Blouse. This one sells up to 5mil but I'm considering scrolling STR on it, hopefully to get at least 14 STR, (6 DEX) to replace my current top of 15 STR, 5 DEX for +1 DEX.

Equip drops' slightly lesser but still quite generous. Gotten 46 drops in 95min.


Result

4.8mil raw meso
7.6mil meso from drops
1 Gun Att 30%, ~1mil
2 Cape INT 60%, ~1mil
58 Power Crystal Ores, ~1.4mil

15.8mil from 95min of farm, about 9.97mil/hr.

Gacha from 6 common:





Found a cheap Shadow Shifter 30 book.

 

Sold all the PCoins at 3.35mil each, and spent some meso on stuff. Continued farming at Dual Ghost Pirate with pretty consistent results so far.



54 equip drops from 110min of farm

Previous 2 sessions of farm with Bishop + Shadower:
46 equip drops from 95min of farm
48 equip drops from 90min of farm

Overall, about 1 equip drop every 2min.


Result

4.7mil raw meso
11mil from drops
71 Power Crystal Ores, ~1.7mil
3 Cape INT 60%, ~1.5mil

18.9mil from 110min of farm, around 10.3mil/hr,
with overall 9.95mil/hr so far from almost 5hrs of farming.
Earnings are quite stable considering gacha not included and doesn't rely on any valuable drops.


Gacha from 5 common, 3 rare:


Notable ones are Shoes Jump 30% and Face Avo 30%.

Only 1 Green Pirate Blouse dropped this session, no maxed roll.
Even so, the meso is rather decent and consistent that I'll probably continue farming here for a while more for pirate blouses and skirts.

 

Did a 65min farming session at DGP and level up to 153.



After some MP wash and stale HP wash, got to 14k HP with 4.6k MP.



42 equip drops from this 65min of farm, making this session to be a very generous rate of 1 equip drop in every 1min 33sec.



Got a 3/5 Dark Studded Top, perhaps I can sell it for 2mil.
Also a 6/3 Green Osfa Suit but likely nobody wants it. Used to hunt for these to scroll for STR because there's none in the market and made a 18 STR.
Unfortunately no pirate skirts, much sad.


Result

2.7mil raw meso
7.6mil from drops
43 Power Crystal Ores, ~1mil
1 Cape INT 60%, ~500k

11.8mil from 65min of farm, about 10.89mil/hr.


Gacha from 1 common, 2 rare:

 

Some quick scrolling update. Failed 70% on 3rd slot.



Continued scrolling one of the previously failed with cheaper 60% scrolls and got to +5. Decided to try css20 to recover 2 slots, but boomed on the first scroll.

 

I did a quick update on my scrolling attempt previously but not the farm result. Here's previous session + another session today.



Previously, 29 equip drops in 50min of farm, 1 in 1min 44sec,
including one 4/2 Green Pirate Skirt which failed on the 3rd slot shown in previous post.

Result (previous)

2.8mil raw meso
5.4mil from drops
32 Power Crystal Ores, ~800k

9mil from 50min of farm, 10.8mil/hr

Gacha from 6 common:





28 equip drops in 60min of farm, 1 in 2min 9sec.
Gotten a 4/3 Red Pirate Boots, might fetch more than 5mil currently.

Result (current)

3mil raw meso
4.8mil from drops
40 Power Crystal Ores, ~1mil
1 Gun Att 30%, ~1mil

9.8mil from 1hr of farm.

Gacha from 4 common:


Results remain very consistent of about 10mil/hr, excluding gacha, in Dual Ghost Pirate with Bishop + Shadower. Waiting for more 4/2 skirt drops after failing 4 attempts.

 

Think it's time for me to take a break from ML again

See ya around in a few months to a year's time.

 

Need to compile a list and provide justifications for why I’m better in comparison.

Anyway, jokes aside(or not?!), I’ll put the unnecessary upgrades on hold first and reset myself before the next event. Also to refrain myself from impulsively spending Coorie's mesos.
