Why are you moving Ferrium to Wuling? What do you use it for?

Jincao drink line + Blue battery line so I can power my thermal banks with blue batteries while saving all the LC Wuling batteries to trade to the outpost. This way I can keep the outpost depleted to 0 Stock bill savings at all times. The single blue battery line keeps everything powered perfectly with zero waste.

Downside is that I'm humping 30k ferrium every 12 hours or so.

I don't have enough outputs at my main base to set up another blue battery line so I can just hump the batteries. I think. I'm actually going to check that out now.

Now I realize why I did it this way. My VIV setup is actually slightly Originium negative. It runs out every 48 hours or so, and that would drain a lot faster if I set up another blue battery line there. So I take Ferrium to Wuling and bring extra Originium from Wuling back to VIV. It only takes like 5 minutes to do it but it's a lot of annoying clicking.

Wuling on the left, Viv on the right.

Look like there's some wiggle room in Ferrium Ore in Viv I could optimize slightly with perhaps Ferrium Parts but I'm already maxing out all 3 outposts so no reason to do that at this time.

Etching and Gear Artificing are going well. This is the end game time-gated RNG fest final step for upgrading characters. It's basically honing in Lost Ark without the credit card.

I just started the etching treadmill a few minutes ago. It's an interesting system to grind at endgame. It'll be hard to stick with it if the upcoming hard content isn't difficult enough to warrant it though.

People say it's hard to get the "perfect" 3 stat essences but I've barely started and have gotten every single one I wanted so far and some I didn't even need but I'll keep for the future, so either people overstate the randomness or the engraving tickets make it pretty trivial.

https://datafield.cc/weapons Is an excellent resource for targeting your perfect etching drops if you weren't using it already.

It's not hard, the odds are very good. That said, it is still RNG. It's 1/24 to get the right stats, and since you get 3 orbs, 1/8. I've cleared the thing 35times(105 essences) so far and still don't have the stats for Laevatein. I have Endmin's, Wulfgard's(his 5* I didn't pull weaps), Ardelia's, some decent options for Akekuri and such, but still none of the one I want, and there's really nothing to do but keep running it until it drops, can't even etch anything until then since etches can't be transferred.

I actually switched to farming some xp to level my phys team though. Got 3 chars to 60 with cap unlocked, 4th one still 40 so will need a few days to get enough for that. Then will need probably like 2 weeks to get everyone to 80. Then I need to work on their skills(the important ones only but still), and I need to get their weapons done too. Also need to buy the Endmin weap for 1$ but they still haven't unblocked Paypal which is annoying.

You can buy the Endmins weapon for 20 Endpoint quota, so just max out a 6* and then get one more and you're set!

So is the expectation just that people that want to get Gilberta but don't really need her right away will just wait until Day 7 to start burning their Chartered HH tickets and Oroberyls, just in case those extra 4 tickets would result in pulls that awared her?

Was the same with Laevatein banner. And it's just ass systems to make you waste pulls. The only upside is you end up getting 15pulls total(5 per banner with 3 chars), while in other gachas they give you "only" 10, but the 10 are permanent limited tickets you can use on any banner, not these temporary tickets shit. It's one of the bad gacha thing.

But yeah if you plan on pulling the char and you want 100% efficiency, it's best to wait a week, which sucks. At the very least you'd stop at 116 pulls if you don't get lucky earlier so you can get the rest for free.

Yeah I see a bunch of people whining about it. I don't agree with the design but man people get worked up over such small things. Buncha addicts.

Just checking that I'm not missing anything...

If one considers the power cost of a given battery, Is the purple HC Valley Battery relly better than the blue SC Valley Battery? The HC Valley Battery provides 1100 "Power"
View attachment 617900

But to produce 1/min takes.... 80 power. Compared to SC Valley Battery which produces 420 power and only costs 14 power, while taking up much less real estate. The trade value has nearly the same ratio.

View attachment 617902View attachment 617903

Meanwhile, the return on investment for the input isn't much worse for the SC Valley Battery than HC Valley Battery (32.6 vs 26 and 22 vs 17)... hmmmmmmm

From my math the HC Valley Battery barely edges out the SC Valley Battery, but I feel like it's much smaller than I expected.
Related to this, I did similar math on Buck Capsules. I could be missing something but Buck Capsule B provides better value/power and value/ferrium ore than Buck Capsule A.

Behold, my 24 Buck Capsule B farm. I tried getting it up 30 but there just wasn't enough room.

I've avoided looking up pretty much anything on AIC Factories. I wonder what filthy tricks there are that I don't know about to compress further?

There are 4 possible outputs I'm not using here. There are probably some simpler recipes I could throw in at the end to help other factories *shrug*

The patch to increase zoom out distance can't come soon enough, seeing the whole factory like this is really nice. I created that image from tediously splicing together a bunch of other images.

I havent used any blueprints or used any tricks either but I can tell you that there's "secret" recipes that can make things more efficient once you discover them.
