General Tips / Links
- Purchase & Equip the Event Shop CE () ASAP to increase drops, which help clear the Event Point Ladder!
- 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: to boost Event Shop currency drops!
- Be wary of MLBing 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 = +120% drops.
* 1x MLB (requires 5 copies) = +60% drops.

- 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):
