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.
I was kinda curious so I calculated the odds of not getting the essence you want. At 1/8th chance per run the odds you get the orb in 35 runs are 99.1%, hmmmmm....

Was curious which stats to select when farming rifts, so I found this spreadsheet:



Code:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BgXarhbUmv2eouq-ueIrNDCeH76npdMK0qmrqQylj7w/edit?gid=0#gid=0



I'm trying to get an essence for Forgeborn Scathe, so I'm selecting Intellect/Agility/Will + Attack, which gives me a chance to get the essence for Never Rest and Thermite Cutter for Pogranichnik, or Grand Vision for Endmin.

edit: I forgot only certain skills drop from certain Energy Alluvium, so I should be selecting.... intellect / strength / will, to give a chance at an essence for Khravengger, which I guess is useful for Last Rite? hmmmm

Yeah as I said, RNG is RNG, I did get the right essence stats on a purple in my 2nd to last run though, as a little fuck you. My luck has been weird on this game so far, like how after 19 pulls on 49 accounts, I only had 1 laevatein. I think when I checked the math quickly that was 3-4% chance to happen. On the flipside on this account I got 3 standard 6* off the New Horizon free 40pulls, which was quite nice, although not sure I'm gonna use half these chars but well.

And yeah the websites are better for essence checking than the spreadsheet, clearer.

Yep. Random systems with no pity like essence farming paint a stark contrast in this game full of pity systems.

I'd love to see the pity system for the operator unlocks be extended to basically every part of gaming with RNG with significant drops that are less than 10%. EverQuest, for example, would benefit dramatically from a pity system that increased the chance for rares to spawn by 10% for every failure to spawn them (or whatever).

Nice, got both Leavatain's essence and one for Never Rest or Thermite Cutter for Pogranicnik in the same Alluvium. And I just set up my turrets for this too, lol.

I'm currently running Laevatain + Wulfgard. Wulfgard is currently slumming it with Rational Farewell since I don't have Clannibal. I've got enough Arsenal Tickets to get Clannibal but am thinking I'll save them for some future weapon banner. I'm going to wait to se how hard the upcoming Challenge Event is, I guess.

I just don't know when a banner will come that I'd jump on and a weapon with it. Gilberta is a dork. Yvonne is revolting goonbait that confronts me of how degenerate this waifu genre is. I hear Tangtang might be next but she seems mid.

The difference in Gilberta's personal mission and Laevatain was pretty stark and highlights why Laevatain is so fun. Where Laevatain is seasoned warrior that forged a collaborative with a begrudged god and you explore her story and the deeper lore of Arknight via an interdimensional portal to her history while uncovering a shared tribulation of amnesia, with Gilberta you deliver some packages for some nerd in a hospital bed.

Tangtang and Rossi are next.

Also end game is coming this Thursday. I'm rushing to put together my physical team because I wasn't expecting a two team mode to come out so quickly and I put everything into fully maxing Laevatain.

Why do you think this will be a two team mode?

Iirc in beta they said it was single team. And there's no indication so far it's made for more teams either, when usually it'd be noted in these previews, so yeah don't think it is. In the future it'll likely be increased to 2 teams but they might keep it to 1 for 1.0.

We'll see though, I've already leveled up my physical team anyway, only need a couple of days to finish skills and then all that's left is essences+gear so should be fine.

I'm holding off on a second team until they release content that I can't brute force with Leavatain, but after I get the Trimmed Medals I am also tempted to try



But I also wouldn't mind building a team around Pog since I use him for double-dash for dailies anyway.

I heard that Umbral Monument will be single team but Monumental Etching will take two teams. I could be wrong. I'm trying to find where I saw that information.

I guess we'll find out soon enough. They've wisely made the rewards only drop for normal mode which I imagine means we can faceroll it even if we have to build a new team to beat the Agony version.

I'm sitting on 187 limited pulls totally F2P but the lack of standard pulls is killing me. I need more AIC Quota to buy the limited time Gilberta pulls in the store.

They're really gonna make me buy the 16 million stock bill items because I have nothing left to buy, huh.
