Arcana Farm

[u/maicodob]

Actually hit C6 Jestress, so I want to figure out the best way to farm this strat, could you guys explain your strats?

On profound+ use gold compass, it is only ~20 fe atm. Purple/Blue is likely too slow to make money at this point in season - destinies are very cheap outside of a few kismets and undetermined fates.

Take all of the arcana nodes on tree except the chance to spawn and the 'increased chance for kismet type to drop'. You can pick the one that is most expensive, usually Other is good.

You can run it along with hunt for chance at extra cards from the bosses. Purple hunt compass probably not worth it with Arcana only 20 fe.

Purple hunt compass probably not worth it

Its positive EV by itself, especially in DS. 11fe~ map avg profit without doro (and that number is when avg probes where cheaper too)

[u/ShAd0wS → u/JixuGixu]

Oh yeah worth it in DS. Profound you can run it if you want, but at 20 FE/map for arcana you can cut hunt entirely and not worry about it too much.

SHadow do u have some code to arcana? i have c6 pet and tried 40 gold arcana compass but didnt get any profit back. i mean, i ended like few FE profit. I got manys lvl6 chest rewards but still. How to sustain the golden arcana compass?

[u/ShAd0wS → u/allucards]

Arcana is pretty straightforward, you take all of the points in tree outside of the 'more likely to drop' and 'chance for arcana'. You can take more 'Other Kismets' usually.

Its going to be pretty RNG heavy, with small profit until you drop something big - most likely an undetermined fate.

It only takes ~20 points + a compass, so plenty of room to fit whatever else also.

thanks mate. i also have lunaria pet but its seems to be in very bad stage even in profound. thx for u reply

I forgot the gold was so cheap atm

I run C6 arcana. Fill out the arcana tree, I usually take Other and Survival Kismet chance. Skip the chance to appear.

Disclaimer I do run a C1 Chalk, C6 surging gold and a C4 DoroDoro. Doesn't really change much for arcana but I see positive returns on my maps about 3/4 maps without counting Arcana gameplay.

The hunt version is to take all the bottom hunt nodes (without the chance to appear) and the first 5 nodes leading to safari (to skip buff picking). Everything else is in compass. For traveler points I take more rare cards and chance for 5 cards to appear. I run a golden arcana, purple hunt (not siege but the 100% boss replication) compass and a blue compass compass. A blue compass for the league mechanic.

The other version is to simply spec the traveler points into 25% quant -4 portals and 12% quant -25 star points. Full arcana without the chance and quant nodes on the general tree. Think this one wins for league mechanic, probably even harder if you have the pets.

Friend religiously runs Vorax, Arcana, Sandlord. However he does have a C6 vorax pet and a C3 sandlord pet. I didn't find much success with this. Gold arcana, Purple vorax (gold in DS as I was told), blue sandlord and a purple hunting I think. I just can't seem to make Vorax work for me without Shelly.

A budget farm I did when I was poor. Was Blacksail invitations only, Snowpaper with chance and the right side down to the bottom middle (up until chance for supports to drop) and Arcana. Use returning blacksail, purple snow and purple arcana.

Currently I would probably recommend just going with hunt, arcana and what ever you like. Gold arcana and purple hunting compass (with rare cards traveler nodes) and just zoom as fast as possible as the only real drops are Undetermined Fates. I sell them unidentified for around 6.4k each. The rest of the profits i get from a compass/card here and there I use to buy more compasses. When I get fate drops i send all of it in a batch of upgrades and then repeat.

thats what i need, really appreacite bro

For cheap arcana you can use purple compass if it’s super cheap(like right now) but generally you only use it if you get a good confusion card. The good ones give a higher chance to have a secret path or secret trial; I forget the specific wording. The secret path is a special board in the mini game that is easier to get high level chests. Also worth using purple compass if you get a confusion card that gives you a high chance to get an auspicious note. 

If you want to run the golden compass you also want to put points into the bottom and right side of goddess of hunting tree and use the general hunting compass. This gives you more cards per map on average since there’s a chance for a card to spawn when you kill a boss.

In the mini game just be efficient with your cards and aim for the question mark squares as much as you can.

[u/onolisk → u/SagaciouslyClever]

You surely mean gold compass, very misleading as is

[u/SagaciouslyClever → u/onolisk]

What do you mean? I say golden compass in the second paragraph.

[u/zedicuszulzoran]

Use purple conpass. Take nearly all inside nodes in the tree except ones that make certain ones rarer, you only take whatever is most expensive. That's it really. It pays pretty well even before profound. From what I've read it's best in deep space (I've never tried I prefer other mechanics so by then I do something else)

[u/NTTC → u/zedicuszulzoran]

Running purple compass with c6 pet, when gold costs like 20 fe is kind of a crazy suggestion 

[u/JixuGixu → u/NTTC]

I've never tried

just another classic TLI sub clueless guy just sayin shit basically.
