Approaching Box #100, which is about where I'll call it quits. I got spooked by another Nidhogg today.
I don't normally bother with status resist in a facility event. If it matters, I just run Cibella+Hildegarde for Shields until I get the event building high enough to brute force Master difficulty on Auto.

And here I am, not doing much more than dailies and not even on Box #8. Jesus you guys.
The thirst for holy water was real. Every other drop including summon tickets was just a bonus.
I'm checking out of the event early today, I was starting to get sick of it yesterday. I end on box #30 with almost 48k gold emblems. I was primarily farming to turn ashes into honey, so at the end of all this grinding I got:
-457 Honey
-251 Quality Honey
-103 Exquisite Honey
I don't recall exactly how many ashes I had before starting, but I estimate that I am down about 300~ getherwings worth of ashes across the event. Of course that means I spent more than that because the Ieyasu fight pumped up my ashes as I was farming. But in this case it is like I exchanged 300 getherwings for 12,680 stamina. So considering natural regen is 10 stamina = 1 wing, I got a better than 4:1 return on my investment. The next double drop IO event better watch itself.
I'm up to 1,500 Consecrated Water and over 3,000 Succulent Dragonfruit. Considering I already have a pretty good collection of dragons leveled up, I'm probably at the point where I will never run out of dragonfruit again (I have almost 12,000 of the basic Dragonfruit) since I'll continue to get more here and there from the tree, daily chests, and events. Water is at a pretty good stockpile, though I can see it going fast if some great new prints come out.
Got 50 single summon tickets over the course of the event, counting the daily tickets and the ones from emblems. Probably got more than 100k eldwater, though I don't remember where I started. Got probably 5~ million rupies, again not sure how much I had exactly before the event started. I now have 7 million mana, so that's absurd. I got a Damascus Ingot, two Gold Keys, and two Twinkling Sands just from the Treasure Trade this event, though again I don't remember how many fragments I had to begin with so it isn't like I got 10 Damascus Crystals to drop. Oh and more than 50 Four Leaf Clovers.
The grind got pretty extreme and I am beyond glad it is over, but looking at everything I got out of it I'd say it was worth doing. Now please leave these kinds of rewards until New Years so I can recover my psyche after all that nonsense.

And yet I'm in awe at the dozen or so Co-Op players I've ran into who are in the Lv160s, when I just hit Lv156. Everyone has their own tolerance for this sort of grind.
I'm not sure I'll hit 5k gold emblems before the event ends, but having only started 3 days ago, I think that's OK. I'm at like 2600 now. It just takes so long...
3000 Gold Emblems for the Twinkling Sand is what I'd aim for if possible; everything past is just extra.
My fire team is already stacked but I need my girl Ramona....only have enough for three pulls...
Man, what a grind! After finally earning 5,000 gold emblems and ending on blazon summon box #6 on the last day of the event, I can't imagine grinding any furth—
I just came back to this game after not playing for a few months and am trying to wrap my head around all of the new content. Is any particular void boss best for earning void seeds?
Frost Hermit is generally the easiest one to grind. He doesn't require any specific gear and he has low HP.
The dragons (Zephyr/Agni/Poseidon) have the best drop rate for Void Seeds.
Seconded, and you'll want them farmed anyway since they're good sources for both generic weapon materials (Tier 3 stuff, Meteorite/Butterfly/Fiend) and for Void-specific 5* weapons.
EDIT: Just reset to Box #101. I am so done with this event, really hoping for a low-rewards Facility Event like we usually get so I can mostly stop after 1 million points.

I've done 0 void grind this month. Hoping for void endeavors/break cause it's hard to do it during events.
nurse aeleen dot jpeg, but it says "please grind in moderation"
Decided to look at the statistics. In the last 30 days, the Japanese account has lost 2569 followers, for around a 2% follower loss rate. It'd be more accurate to say that the Twitter account is stagnant instead of a meaningful statistical loss because of how little the loss rate is compared to the total amount of followers. Conversely, the American account has gained 615 followers, so some loss could be explained by English-speaking followers still transitioning (it's not like the two twitter accounts advertise each other, so folks can be slow when going from one to another).
Both Dragalia Twitters gain huge amounts of followers from the re-tweet campaigns (Japanese one gained around 20K last re-tweet campaign, a 20% increase from the original 100K), so the majority of the decay is probably from folks that wouldn't normally follow game-focused twitters. The Twitter is essentially constant Twitter advertisement for Dragalia, and since the in-game notifications basically covers all relevant game info within the game itself, it can make the Twitter somewhat redundant. Unlike the American twitter, the Japanese one also advertises a lot of Dragalia tangential content, such as the baby dragon pictures, a Dragalia tutorial series, a Dragalia radio show, and physical merchandise. These are great if you're really into Dragalia, but a casual fan who is only interested in in-game announcements may not want to be bombarded by all this.
An additional factor is the actual game's content in June and July, especially when it comes to veteran players. The last 3 of the 4 events have been re-runs, which veterans are more likely to skip compared to new content, and having so many in quick succession can lead to folks taking breaks. For the more hardcore crowd, the last piece of challenging endgame content was High Mercury, which was released back in April. Unlike the previous two High Dragons, Mercury was significantly easier, so some hardcore veterans who have already finished farming HMC have opted to take a break from the game until the next High Dragon, which is coming out soon, so this population of followers might come back once that's released.
In summary, I would say the biggest factor to the loss rate is the fact that the Twitter artificially gains large amounts of followers during re-tweet campaigns, which slowly tapers off the Japanese Twitter due to not wanting all the content it provides. The dearth of new in-game content in the last couple months combined with the lack of new high end content may have also had a minor contribution to the loss from veterans, along with some folks still transitioning from the Japanese Twitter to the English one. However, the entire loss rate isn't really significant considering the Twitter is still 18K higher than back in April, and can easily go up at any time if Dragalia does another re-tweet campaign.
Most likely after this next event, or after a rerun/gala after the next event.
Sleep Res Fire units aren't quite as common as Stun Res Fire units.
Not really in need of fire units at all, but I welcome the fire facility. HMS is already the easiest of the Advanced DT, it is going to be a cake walk now.
Perhaps they shouldn't have given Samurai Siesta through these blazion boxes then, haha.
I only got into box 9; maybe would have pushed it a bit more if I wasn't as much of a mess yesterday and all that. I don't have the patience nor the inclination to just fight Shishimai for hours and hours when I could be playing other games - if I'm gonna mindlessly farm stuff on my phone, I'd kinda rather progress some things in Another Eden rn anyway - but it did let me start catching up on some podcasts, so there was that. I stopped actively taking notes on what I gained and just took screenshots for later, but I definitely got back a good amount of honey and some single tickets, a damascus crystal, several gold fragments, etc. Maybe someday soon I'll either do the data entry from my screenshots, or get off my ass and finally make a tool to help with that.
If anything I just wish I'd used it to convert more ashes -> honey for practicality's sake, cause I still have tons more ashes than I'll ever really use, unless I start doing ridiculous amounts of high dragons/Void at some point.
...I also had some weird luck last night; didn't get anything all that special from it, but I got EX 5 runs in a row, then a run off before it popped another 3 runs in a row
of course, those 5 runs were me draining wings before sleeping at a late time, so it was not actually as welcome as it could be...
And I'm glad to see it.
"Boom." is wonderful, and I've been traumatized by YOKATTA WA ever since I was first trying to get some Mercury clears and a group spammed it the entire run, from the moment I joined the lobby till the last second, where we failed...

We'll get it, Cygames isn't gonna miss the opportunity to miss some big bucks.
Events ends on the 23rd, after that we may get a Dragalia digest that many people are speculating. There's still the strange reason that our new director kept the high dragon reveal hidden and not telling us more in advance to whats to come like they usually do.
From the previous chapters, we'll know who the next Gala character will be when we get Chapter 9.
Spotlight of the chapter gets a Gala variation like what happened to Ranzal and Mym.
Yeah, I think the sample size for Gala characters is a bit too small to make predictions based on story chapters (imo), not to mention how unpredictable Cygames can be...
He's gotta be either a Gala character or an end-of-chapter freebie, right?
However or whenever he makes his playable debut, I bet you it's very soon...
Crap. forgot about the event facility needing a smithwyrm. All of mine are occupied for a bit. Can't advance till I reach level 5 of the facility, lol.
