General Tips / Links

  • Purchase & Equip the Event Shop CE (Beautiful Dreamer) ASAP to increase Poetry Composition Points drops, which help clear the Event Point Ladder!
  • Murasaki Shikibu Murasaki Shikibu has bonus damage (+100%) and bonus Bond Point Experience (+50%), so bringing her along can help speed up farming!
  • Equip Event Gacha Bonus CEs: Bitter SweetValkyrie StyleMemory of Qualia to boost Event Shop currency Dream-Spelling BrushThought-Spinning InkstickWord-Writing Stationary drops!
  • Be wary of MLBing Beautiful Dreamer Beautiful Dreamer too early. It is better to have non-MLB copies so the total possible bonus is higher, until 7 copies are reached (1x MLB + 2x Non-MLB = 120% bonus total)
    * 4x Beautiful Dreamer = Poetry Composition Points +120% drops.
    * 1x MLB Beautiful Dreamer (requires 5 copies) = Poetry Composition Points +60% drops.

- If Masters wish to get a head start, other copies of Beautiful Dreamer can be purchased early, although using apples on these quests is not suggested due to their lower drop rates (it is better to buy Event Shop CEs before farming in earnest to maximize points, and purchasing the Event Shop CEs by running better drop rate quests is more efficient). Below steps are optional.

Masters can elect to farm this quest instead of the prior three, particularly if the Point Ladder clear is the primary goal.
However, Event Shop clearing will be slower without Gacha CEs.

Will I need to use Apples?

  • For just clearing the event (Story), No, in fact the story alone can be cleared in one day with natural AP (provided it is past the last time gate so they are all available). For a full shop + Event Point Ladder clear, Yes.
  • Natural Regen AP will be approximately 3980 AP throughout the event.
  • Simply clearing the Story and all Free Quests once will cost 45 AP for story and 250 AP additional for Free Quests (295 AP total).
  • For clearing the Event Shop (no monuments), approximately 5695 AP will be required to clear all three shops. Following below assumptions, the Event Point Ladder (3,000,000 points) will also clear before the shop is cleared.
  • For a full Event Shop clear including monuments, this total reaches 7295 AP to clear all three shops. As with the above, the Event Point Ladder has long since been cleared beforehand.
  • The amount of AP required can be reduced with more copies of Event Gacha CEs. Do note that Gacha CEs only source of shop currency drop bonus for this event, since the Shop CE provides Event Point drop bonus, and Servant bonus only provide a damage bonus/bond point bonus.
  • Assumptions for the above (uses "worst case scenario", AP reduced if more bonus available):
    • +2 Paper of Story Recording drops from free copy of Memory of Qualia and a non MLB friend support
    • +1 Ink of Sentiment Weaving drops from non MLB Valkyrie Style friend support
    • +1 Brush of Dream Writing drops from non MLB Bitter and Sweet friend support
    • +120% Poetry Composition Points drops from non MLB Beautiful Dreamer x4 (from Event Shop)
