FAPI: To run a second expedition, do I need both a 2nd expedition slot and a 2nd expedition loadout slot?

Just the expedition slot technically, you�ll just have to manually create the team if you don�t have a loadout slot for it.

Gathering event started in Ironwood.

I think previously someone was just dumping shitloads of their money into events (looking at you, Crell), and has stopped doing it, which is definitely fine and was appreciated while they were doing it, but that means it has slowed down our event rate a bit. We can do an event every 72 hours, and can fund it starting after the event ends, so if we want to do events as fast as possible (and we do), I'd ask everyone to put 50k gold into the event during that 24-hour window. You get 55k per day from the guild (assuming we do all of our quests, which we've been good about lately), so it's just asking for ~30% of what you're getting gold-wise out of the guild (to say nothing of the boosts from the events), and only 16 people need to do it, so you won't need to do it every time if everyone is doing it. Please try to check the guild quests every day, I try to fill out the ones late in the day that aren't getting done; mostly seems to be the iron stuff, which is understandable given that it's usually 1250 of something fully-crafted (meaning you have to mine, smelt, and smith/forge it, not just one step, and it eats into your precious charcoal, the true bottleneck for this game).

We managed to pull into rank 16. I'd like to get up to at least 15 before reset, events are about the best way to do it. Also, if you could work towards throwing 5000 Large Bones into the Guild Event Hall if you haven't done so already, that would be good as well. It's gonna be about ten days before we've got the guild credits to do it, so you've got time, but I'd like to be ready once we're through the bottleneck. The event after this one is going to be a combat event, and if we don't have the bones for the Guild Event Hall (or close to it) after that, I'll probably break normal event order to run another combat event to encourage people to get their bones done. Keeping in mind that not everyone is high enough level to get the large bones done, those of you in the upper echelons can get them done a lot faster than the rest of us, so if you could toss some extra in, it would be greatly appreciated.

If you're wondering how much you should be putting into buildings and things, I think 5% is a good floor; we have 23 guild members with 3 inactives, so assuming each of us does 5% of each needed thing that should cover us. You are of course welcome to contribute more (I generally dump 10% of each thing into the building before I call it out in the guild message), and that is very appreciated. You can see how much you (and everyone else) have contributed total towards guild things (quests and buildings) by going to the Guild Members tab and clicking on "Gold" (screenshot below). A big part of this will be how long the member has been around. Not trying to shame anyone, just giving you a number you can make go up. We're moving up ranks, so clearly people are generally doing a good job at contributing, and we ran through a relatively large backlog of guild credits pretty quickly, so thanks all. Building stuff is gonna slow down a ton once we get the Event Hall done, since the next buildings are all 50k guild credits, which is ~38 days of completing every guild quest.

Okay, I'm done try-harding at Ironwood, now.

In FAPI the leveling estimations for Pets are basically lies, right? You'll have two different pets at roughly the same level and have the same stat indicate same value per level, but then one of them will have an order of magnitude more overall in the stat even though the very very slight level discrepancy could not account for it.

Is there any resources available that provide actual information on pet leveling values, even if not in number than at least "these are the Residue pets ranked highest to lowest per level"?

The key thing you might be missing here is that Pet Ranks from Expeditions significantly impact your Pet stats. 2% boost to both Pet bonus and Pet experience gained per Pet Rank.

Wait, so the % level estimations are correct, but pets that I have taken on Expeditions have a modifier that pets I only pull out for Reincarnations (for example) will be lacking?

yes, reincarnation pets are prime for expedition teams bc of that

Pets are honestly my least favourite part of FAPI, it can be a bunch of micromanagement.

Also, in the beginning you couldn't use pets in both expeditions and party at the same time lol

I gotta say thusfar I haven't paid a ton of attention to what I'm doing with the pets, I have been using that gameplay planner to determine my best expedition team then using the rest in the party since I thought there was an XP debuff if you used them in both, or something.

oh gently caress, I'm on Asc #16 and I just learned this, hahahahaha

for another moment like this, peep my terrible Asc times:

Notice the BIG improvement from #10 to #11? THAT was the point I even bothered to look into running more than the Pet Team I had setup waaaay back in Asc #1 that only boosted Residue.

Not my proudest realization.

Swapping to a full set of item rating pets to farm a set, then swapping to a full set of reincarn pets is a very important step of every reincarnation. I mostly just run a pretty balanced setup otherwise, or sometimes a bunch of protein pets.

But yea it's very important that every single pet you're using is also getting ranks from being in expeditions, the amount of stats gained is insane. At this point if a pet isn't affecting a stat, that stat may as well not exist for me.

You want to make sure that every pet that is on one of your main Pet Teams (Reinc, Gear, Stats, Card Power, etc) are on your Expedition Teams, then grab every Expedition Token boosting pet, and only then worry about Expedition Damage or Time Bonus or whatever. The XP penalty kick is nothing compared to the bonus that Pet Ranks provide.

What is the next building? The only thing left that I can throw at the Event Hall is cobalt ore, but I can chop iron bark because woodcutting is very overlevel compared to everything else due to accidentally leaving it on logs for like a week at some point (i.e. it's 12 levels above the next highest).

Guild Hall gets us more Guild Credits, so that's probably what we should do next. And it requires a shitload of Ironbark.

For you realm grinder folks, I missed out on the first mercenary artifact before ascending because I hadn't really figured out excavations, will I still be able to get it when I unlock the faction again at R170ish?
