Molds + Gacha 5* = Win?

So it's probably obvious that the gacha ces tend to give the best drop bonuses in events, but I feel like the disparity between non mlb cute orangette and either of the shop ces is pretty big. At face value, getting boosted for all choco coins seems nice, but since you can just force a single class using the molds, you can always easily maximize your output of a single coin and at much higher values using the gacha ce. Aside from the fact that these are pretty good ce's outside of the event, I see little reason to collect them until the very end.

Again, this is probably a 'no shit sherlock," but I was just comparing the bonus drop tables and wow the difference is pretty huge.

Edit: I was going off the assumption that the molds were basically unlimited, but there's only 30 each in the shop with the best node only dropping the relevant mold at roughly 20%. So yea, I guess I can see where eventually farming would level out and you'd possibly start to want to mix the ces together.

Yeah, there's a decent difference in value. Whether you need to get them depends on what CEs you start out with. For those without any gacha CEs, they're pretty good.

But let's discuss the molds.

1. You are misinterpreting the drop rates for the molds in Royale. Those are the drop rates if you go in without a mold - you can basically add them up together. As such you have a 70% chance to get a mold drop in Royale.

2. There are 40 Molds to get per class - 30 from the shop, 5 from the Free Quests and 5 from log-in bonuses. That's 40 molds. That alone is 280*40 AP.

3. Now let's discuss....compound interest. Let's say we save all 40 Caster molds (you ought to!) for Royale. While we clear Royale, we get about 70%ish drop rates of Molds. Because we only face Casters - that's about 28 Molds for Casters. Cool, now we have 28 more. If you use those, you still have 70% drop rate - thus you end up with about 20 more mold, then 14, then 10, then 7, then 5, then 3/4, then 2, and finally 1. Roughly. You end, rounded up, with bloody 130 Caster molds.

That's insane AP-wise - and that's Caster alone.

TL;DR: You will never run out of molds. Use them on the 30 AP and up nodes in combination with +5/6 CE bonuses.

Thanks for clarifying that percentage Sizzle! That's actually an insanely good rate, so I can easily see how you should always be in the positive when it comes to molds which is great for seemingly endless farming.
