So the big thing going around my weeb pages is that apparently, there was a big anime convention back home and they sold some tarps used for it. Someone paid ~$200 for one, which is outlandish considering the exchange rate and how cheap you can buy tarps there. It was 9500p. To put that into perspective, the entrance fee to the convention was 150p.

Tarp in question:

How is everyone feeling after the event ends? My face seems to have made it out alright as the wall is crumbled at my feet. Also some nice prizes in my present box this morning.

I'm feeling confident in my chances of getting at least one Mizuki, which was the objective the whole time. If nothing shocking happened while I was asleep, I'll probably come in under 40k, though it's a bit depressing the entire space between 20,001-120,000 is basically identical in terms of rewards. Again, once I'm able to do Masters worth a drat, I'll probably do a lot better in Visual Bursts and Token Events.

But hey. Star Jewels come and go, idols are forever.

After burning up like a meteor entering the atmosphere and spending most of the day yesterday in bed, I think I'm doing alright. My final rank was 125, and could've easily been 100 straight if I had kept up my 15k per day the last two days. After I checked my box I made a 10+1 pull, got minimum wage with a third copy of an SR, and made my peace with the world.

Data mined banners show the next event is the Chika/Riko token event. We're only skipping half a year's worth of events. No big deal.

Well it's certainly good to hear you're feeling better. I also saw those banners that were found. Not sure how I feel about that. Maybe they'll weave in the other events?

Feels really weird to be so close to the 60k bracket, though. Maybe everyone but me already drew Mizuki's premium SR already?

You'd think that, but once you account for the extra stamina you're using the difference isn't enormous. Obviously the difference adds up the more times you play but when you make the change it doesn't really strike you that you've taken some kind of major step forwards.

Yeah, it actually died off really hard towards the end, the 60k line for this event is way below the 100k line for the previous 8-day Groove event.

That reminds me: I recall reading somewhere that Regular was the best stamina-to-EXP gain in the game. Does that hold up for events?

There's no way we're totally skipping the events. They're just rushing to Aqours since it's the new thing, and they're no doubt beating themselves up over not being ready for Aqours events at the same time as JP.

I really want to know what they're thinking over at HQ with how they're gonna sift in content that we're missing between now and the Aqours update. Not just events, but main stories and songs introduced through there as well (since we just got HEART to HEART today). The only thing I can really think of is that we'll get normal Aqours events and keep getting doubles of old events until we get to the actual double events, and then...

quad events? Scary to think about.

Maybe they'll just give some SRs out for free. I mean, it'd probably just be hanayos and honkses, but still.

I wonder whether they'll be going JP-style or EN-style for the Aqours double events.

I'm banking on the legit double events being JP doubles.

Which I guess is a good time to bring up that if you're planning on converting some idolized cards into two seals you might wanna get that done soon, since we're running up on the next big update for EN and with that comes a reduction in seal rewards from selling idolized cards.

I never really paid attention to exp in events actually. Outside of grooves you're still playing a regular song so probably nothing changes, inside a groove I don't know if you get credit for all 4 songs, or just the 3, or something else.

My guess, just based on the fact you can fail the fourth song but still succeed in the Groove, is that the 4th song is just bonus points. Would be an interesting experiment if during a Groove if one player did a bunch on Regular, another player did played the Groove considerably less, on only Pro or Master, and see who ended up further along at the end of the event, assuming both players burned through stamina at a roughly equal rate, and neither player failed.

You get like 189 or something on master vs like, 80 per regular song, I think? But that's for 50 Stam vs 64 at least for 3 regularly. Something like that.

You also get 87 hearts per groove, and like, 27 for a song? It probably works out to the same per stamina spent, if you did the math.

e. No, it's 63 exp for 19, 56 for 18, so I guess it's just 3x xp, and if you got a groove with all 18 stam songs you got a bonus (from the wiki's math page)

Yeah I was pretty pleased to see that. It also makes "heals 3 points/perfect" make pretty good sense. (Same for holds, because unless I've spaced out or something, most of my misses are a skipped slide or a hold gone wrong)

Advice: don't do Master songs basically the first thing after you wake up. Then again, I also can't do them when I'm feeling sleepy, either. Sluggish reflexes are a hell of a thing.

I think I actually do a little better if I'm a little tired because it makes me focus more in response. Up to a point, at least.

drat that was lucky. I just got a new SR AND a new Rare from a single draw, using Friend Points.

Edit: also, I'm sitting on more than 2500 Star Jewels right now, but I'm going to wait until the Gacha deal ends before I draw again. I don't know if my heart could take getting another SSR Minami like I got a few days ago.
