Puzzle & Dragons forever 17 - Star Vault Didn't Go So Well: I Was Nonplussed

[OverlordChirei]

Welp, it worked. By the skin of my teeth yeah, but it worked. I now have access to Bullshit Earth, Bullshit Seaway (No RCV?) and Bullshit Rush - Devil, God and Hera editions!

Seaway isn't as hard as it appears - but you probably want your team to at least be max level and maybe even egged before you try.

[The Greatest Dog]

alternatively do what Commandercool and I did for a while and Archangel xxxiel through it.

Sometimes LZL does a lot of damage, too.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

[10:53:56] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> I discovered that my trifruit Pandora team can readily handle Athena
[10:54:19] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> it's pretty refreshing since the first and last time I did this it cost me 5 stones
[10:54:25] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> First time, no-stone
[10:54:32] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> (today)
[10:54:49] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> second, Kirin shows up early and fucked me over, one-stone, but with a neato light jewel

and then

[15:05:45] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> IT HAPPENED AGAIN
[15:05:50] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> KIRIN ON FIRST FLOOR
[15:05:54] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> ONE STONE
[15:05:55] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> ALMOST TWO
[15:06:02] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> two light jewels today
[15:06:05] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> fantabulous
[15:06:42] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> AND ANOTHER SKILLUP

Today is a good day

[commandercool]

Yeah, my roommate's been rolling in the Kirin invades too I hear. Got two in a row on his first runs of the day. None for me yet so far, but I don't really need then and I have a lot of runs left in me. One skillup so far.

In playing terribly while barely awake this morning I discovered that the first floor is the only place I can realistically die, and it would be hard. Possibly a Kirin invade immediately following a Chu gravity if I don't happen to heal while killing him. Gabriel too good, nerf Gabriel (seriously though do not do that).

[hyorinryu]

I've been using Heroes to clear Athena too. I got one light jewel so far. Idk who to use it on. Maybe a Beezle.

[Thaws]

Remember when I said Egypts 2.0 are so good in that you can pretty do what others do with much less plus eggs?

Well look at this team

+40 in total. Gran's not even fully levelled.
And...

God Rush cleared on first try :V

I was quite lucky at the end though, which you can see as I have uploaded a vid. Wasn't planning to upload this but I guess there's value in that this isn't some highly egged hathor team :V
Also lack of hearts on dios that was close, what use is all these rcv if you don't have hearts.
5 colours + TPA is hard.

[trancehime]

They literally just took runs from all alt dungeons regardless of rotation and mashed them together into one mess. NA players are currently working to get the real rates out there.

EDIT: dug up the old picture



If I'm reading this correctly, they're suggesting that the drop rate is 1/171, which is almost half of 1%. In addition, they're suggesting that the plus egg rate is about 5%, which it is very clearly not for Alt. Castle of Satan, and is easily at least 6x that. The main thing I and the other loggers are ultimately trying to debunk is that these rates are not the same for all the Alt. dungeons, and that some are more worth your time than others.

If you read the fine print, the dungeon they used to test is FIRST STAGE not the last stage.

So you're probably right in that the rates are not the same

EDIT:

Yolo-rolled during Muracolle off-fest against my better judgment.

[10:30:56] <Thaws> ^you know what happens when I tell you not to roll :VVVV

Rolls:
1) Ur-Chimera
2) Evo'd Berry Dragon
3) Dupe LKali
4) Dupe Hanzo
5) Gamble Mage (4*)

[OverlordChirei]

....wwwwwhat

WHY WOULD YOU TEST THE FIRST STAGE WHO DOES THAT

[Bio]

The last stage for Alt CoS at least has a worse stamina per floor ratio than the other 4.This doesn't apply for the most costly stamina coin dungeon though.

[OverlordChirei]

I might be interpreting this wrong, but it says 1037 exp/stamina on PDX on average, while the other floors besides the first are significantly worse. The small floors also give you far less time to build up skills, which can make for swift death by boss time.

more floors = more chances for Pii to spawn as well.

[Janitor Morgan]

[21:41:19] <Thaws> Z&H EVOLVE MATS
[21:41:39] <Thaws> Light Uevo zeus + Dark Uevo zeus + uevo Hera + Light jewel + Dark jewel

Yay, a combination of pantheons I have pretty much nothing of! (Except Meimei and Karin, so watch me pull a dupe of them.)

[trancehime]

So I decided to try Medjed Descended



If you want to swap my leaders at least swap it with a sub that doesn't benefit my team when turned into a Leader





EDIT --> LIU BEI UVOS AND MAGICAL GIRL ANDROMEDA NOW IN NA

[commandercool]

EDIT --> LIU BEI UVOS AND MAGICAL GIRL ANDROMEDA NOW IN NA

 Oh well. Takeru also hasn't got his, right? Hopefully relatively soon then.

[Mr. Sacchi]

EDIT --> LIU BEI UVOS AND MAGICAL GIRL ANDROMEDA NOW IN NA

TIME TO DEAL A WHOLE LOT MORE DAMAGE THAN I HAVE ANY RIGHT TO

Haha you dodged all the bad ends and got both mystic mask and medjet.
The only right leader swap for medjet is yomi though.....

[20:47] <trance|work> https://twitter.com/DaikeYamamoto/status/567638736276426752 I didn't notice this, but YamaP compares the "Best Friend" feature to "choosing between either Bianca or Flora for marriage in DQ5"
[20:47] <trance|work> welp.
[20:51] <Edible> rofl.
[20:51] <Edible> So it's like

So what does this mean to someone who hasn't played DQV?

[trancehime]

So what does this mean to someone who hasn't played DQV?

Basically in DQV the main character has two potential love interests; Bianca and Flora, there is a scene later on where both of them are in love with the main character for many reasons, and you can choose which one you want as the character's wife. There are some differences in gameplay depending on which of them you choose, though ultimately neither of them would resent you if you spurned them.

What does this mean for PAD? I have no fuckin clue

[Suikama]

its probably just extra pal points when using that person

also none of you guys have +297 Isises so no waifu4u :V
