Am I gimping myself on rewards/exp by requesting backup on raids and someone comes in and takes half the health off in one hit ?

Not that I think I would have any chance of beating some of these hard ones right now.

Hosting and getting top points both give you a red chest as bonus loot, if you can't solo then succeeding with one is better than losing for neither. Its also a common practice to take a boss most of the way out and then open it up and let other people chip it to death for you while you still get the red chests.

Well if you can't solo a boss to 50% and hopefully secure the mvp chest you ain't losing much. Just never use potions/pills unless its half off to host or theres a time limited thing you really want to farm.

Ugh just got so close to a 7.7m Super Bingo. Last number was the wrong color.

On leeching Omegas, are the SSR weapons only from the red chests or can they come from the gold ones too? Wondering if I am better off leeching or using my EP on the non-Omega Hard modes for orbs to summon my own Omegas before work every morning.

How involved are guild wars, coordination-wise? I'm fairly new (~2 weeks or so) and in a random casual jp guild. Would it be a better idea for me to switch into one of the goon guilds over the weekend for this event?

Shoulda linked to this guide http://gbf-english.proboards.com/thread/597/brief-guide-guild-wars?page=1

Most of you guys probably won't make it to the competitive part of things unless you get carried by an established guild thats been going strong for 3+ months. Its basically a massive grindfest where you attempt to outfarm the competing guild in points. Getting past the preliminaries is the initial hurdle, theres no defined number as to how many points you need to break through since it depends on how everyone else grinds. Sometimes theres a collab guildwar and things get really inflated as everyone goes nuts grinding for the weapons.

That said even if you can't make it to the meat of the event you can still farm event gacha tokens towards a GW weapon which you can gradually power up and unlock an SSR character once its fully upgraded. The weapons themselves have high stats and are changed into an element of your choice as part of the upgrades, once element changed they gain an effect from their ougi.

spear - minor teamwide reflect
staff - team heal + regen
sword - dmg cut
dagger - da/ta rate up
etc

GW Chars: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AMaVEsvS5SmUvIhQA47ATPccJXLP1PfUUIBcWUMU0aw/edit#gid=478988497
In terms of usefulness and popularity its somewhere around Sorn, Siete, then Funfu for HL content. Everyone else is kinda scattered about. Its a long term goal so don't expect to be grinding out SSR characters anytime soon as the amount of materials needed per character is quite alot :


For the elemental stuff, its whatever element of the GW character you're working towards. You'll want to run and favourite the starred angel halo whenever its up in your group(times on GBF twitter). Biggest hurdles are generally the rainbow crystals, you need a poo poo ton , they don't drop much, and character upgrades are tied to them.

Seriously take it easy and don't beeline right for these guys, especially since you have to beat them in combat at the end. Difficulty wise they're probably tougher than extremes but easier than maniacs.

Wow, I didn't realize the Omega Animas in the Casino were so cheap. At the cost of getting one max-reward high-low game a day in poker that's basically just a small time investment.

When I play the casino I play poker up to ~80K, play 3 rounds of Bingo down to 50K and repeat. Is this the best way to hope to get 2.5M or should I just keep on with the poker, making about 10K per hour until I am done?

Drakes

10K per hour? Thats really slow,you maybe playing it too safe. I generally go aggressive in poker until I hit 5 digits on my winnings. Think I can rack up 50-200k per hour depending on how my luck is going.

Bingo is hellish, its kinda about chasing super bingo in the loooooong run. Sometimes you'll get incredibly lucky and win a few games where you're actually coming out ahead at the end of the game. But the average payout vs pay-in doesn't work well unless you're chasing that super bingo.

Bingo is streaky, sometimes you'll win three times in a row and make tons of profit and other times you'll lose four million at the 100k table. Though if you do manage to super bingo at the 100k table it pretty much solves your casino problems permanently.

Well I do stop on 5-9 on the hi-low, guess I could go harder there and aim for 5 digits and just keep on trucking I guess. I really wish they had a table over 100 though.

5-9? The range is 2-A so 8 is the centre. I've been going high or low on everything until about 5000 and then stopping on 7-9. I made 300K yesterday like this. But then again, it's all luck based you could just have a bad day.

I go all the way on High Low every time until it forces me to stop. On 8s to As I hit low and 2s to 7s I hit high like a robot. I probably could nickle and dime it a bit more by backing out a bit more when it's showing a 6 to 9 on any round where the pot is at least 1k, but that's such a small return comparatively and I would be missing out on some big wins that way.

It's not really luck at all if you just play the odds. Getting the initial buffer to play at the big table is probably what takes the longest. After that it's just an investment in time and not getting discouraged when on a losing streak.

And for that I find it helps to note exactly how many chips I start with and seeing what I have after a big win. Even after a particularly long streak of losses, a big win more than makes up for it.

Poker is kinda about speed, playing on chrome browser is alittle faster than the chrome app. Get as many matches of poker asap and go high/low as quickly as you can.

I swear to god the casino is going to single handedly drive me to quit this game. I hate RNG riddled gameplay and I've been subsequently screwed by the odds going against me for 20 streaks in a row now.

Edit: I should document this poo poo, ace from going low on a king 3 times, drawing threes off of 4-6s about 7.

Edit edit: Yeah about a half hour at 100 chip poker and I only have 2k more than when I started I think its time to stop.

It's not even RNG because it's rigged. That's why I play it like a robot because whenever the game decides to let me win, I win and I always come out with more than I go in with, even now that I'm paying an omega anima tax.
