Triple Triad Card Hunting: Post Your Woes

Eureka and Bozja cards are gonna be obnoxious to get but #267, Archaeotania, is my personal hell. I've opened at least 400 packs and still haven't gotten this thing. Even a 1% drop rate would be frustrating but this guy is closer to .1% it feels like. Thankfully the Make it Rain event will help but I'm close to chartering a private flight and jumping out directly over the SE headquarters and crashing thru the roof on a giant red card as a form of protest.

I'm currently nearing the end of my Card hunting and I have to say that Shared Fates are the dumbest system they've added to this game

The original Warrior of Light card EX. 1 took a good while. Not counting all the packs I got from open tournaments it took about 3 stacks of 99 packs to get one Warrior of Light.

for me getting the e12 card was pretty awful since that's such a long fight

also the tournament cards since I wasn't having any luck winning the tournaments and had to rely on Platinum Pack RNG to get the final cards I was missing
2 or 3 packs every 2 weeks weee that took forever

i made an afternoon out of it. i ended up getting my warbear from the e12 clears too lol

I don't even want to think about how many times I ran Pharos Sirius hard...

During my hunt, I deeply hated (and still does) the guy who thought plus is a great idea.

And also the rules "same", to this day, I have tournament leader and Win a weekly cup once and shamefully I still dont get how both of those rules actually work, also I farm Tioman 50 times and also E12N 76 times before getting the card, lastly need more than 100 win to get Kuribu Card from duelling Noes in Old Gridania, still grinding the card from Final day..... oh god.......

It's nothing compared to spamming an instance or tournament... but it was quite annoying for me. Just one segment of the matches I spent an hour doing (one minute or so per match including menu time). The queue midway was for Frontlines, but that didn't pop for half an hour. So... I just quit and haven't logged into the game again today.

Edit: oh also, there's this one NPC in the last zone of Gyr Abania who I despise. He's a hard match, and he's still refusing to give me his one card after six months.

The three worst cards out of all of them were probably Thordan (50+ tries), SHBWOL (41 EX tries), and Archaeornis (65 games against Elaisse with a 33% win rate). Fortunately, most of the others (even Eden) took around 15 tries tops. All the mount farming in SHB trials eased the process of getting those cards a bit.

Still don't have the six protagonist cards exclusive to gold/platinum packs, which are definitely the biggest hurdle. The other pack-exclusive cards weren't too bad though.

The card in Pharos Sirius (Hard) has yet to drop after many, many, runs.

Think the longest I had was g warrior mostly because it’s gated behind 3 ex trials. Aside from that was probably … alzadaal. I’ve ran that every day at least twice since release and only got it last week. Imagine my disappointment to see it’s a rank 1 card as well lol (Ngl I was tempted to file a bug report thinking it was an issue not dropping like they had with E12 the first week)

honestly i've been tempted to file a bug report for archaeotania but i know it'll come, it's just incredibly temperamental and i haven't come on the right day. still SUUUUUUUUUCKS tho

I have every single card. All 354 of them.

Bahamut took me months. Promise's took me months of farming. Warrior of Light or Zidane didn't drop from the Gold Triad Pack for over year. The tournament ones took me over a year of doing tournaments to get. The city state leaders and Argath cards took a lot of tries. Thordan, Suzaku and Byakko took a lot of farming. Having to do all of the blue mage and hildibrand content took me time because I didn't want to rush it just for the cards. I couldn't find Lewena for over a year because they don't have a Triple Triad icon on them but eventually I spotted them.

Some of these have since been nerfed because cards were made a lot easier to win in matches.

does the arrtripletriad website have a list of NPCs that u can play? i'm missing a few unique opponents and i haven't seen any markers on my map either

Pretty sure it does. Game does too if you go to “Gold Saucer - Card List” on menu and go to the ones your missing. Underneath is where you can find It inc.npc pos if there is one.

I would check here: https://arrtripletriad.com/en/cards

King Emler III watch a whole series while trying to get Bahamut think it took over 18 hours of grinding non-stop.

it took me 75+ runs for the card and I'm still traumatized.

Cards that drop exclusively from ex/savage like Varis or G-Warrior will be out of my reach forever, or like...8.0 at the earliest

These days varis unsyc is easier and quicker than normal ew story bosses. Same with ruby. Emerald and diamond might take a little more watching out for mechanics tho and a few wipes to get the jist.

There is still some prog in Memoria extreme, but I've done it with people who have no idea what they are doing. Once everyone gets used to the stack locations and a few other things, they can clear. If they are struggling, they will build up echo stacks until they clear. The hardest parts nearer the end get skipped and seeing the spread mechanic is rare. Weakness from dying doesn't matter as long as everyone gets a raise so they can continue attacking, so red mages help.

Ruby and Diamond are easy now. New players are accepted into Diamond farms because it's easy to teach it to them. The hardest parts either get skipped or don't matter, especially if the tanks use reprisal. I haven't done Emerald since but after the first mechanic it's pretty forgiving if there are people to raise.

The good news is, those may be the only two EX-exclusive cards (besides Thordan, which is easy unsynced) and there are no Savage-exclusive cards (yet).

I started my TT hunt in February of this year. I had a lot of ARR cards from spamming dungeons and doing all the content there was to do. Thankfully, about 280ish cards were "easy" to get. I already had pre-requisites done for most of them. I probably went from 80-280 cards in a few weeks.

However, I never opened Bozja or learned any BLU spells. Bozja was just a grind. I had help from strangers along the way to clear... whatever that second dungeon was where you have to PF it since no one ever queues. Eventually got the Bozja Clusters and cleared the story so I could get those cards.

BLU was easier than I thought. I was able to solo every spell I needed following some guy's guide to BLU. I wound up really like BLU by the end of it and worked on some more spells for laughs.

I was able to solo/duo all the dungeon/trial cards from HW to SB. Even got the Nine Tails mount along the way which was a nice surprise.

The final slog of SHB cards mostly involved trials and the 24-man raids. I took a break for most of ShB, so I only cleared the three 24-man once, the trials once for MSQ and never even touched the weapon fights. Currently, I'm down to just two cards: Emerald Weapon and the 3 Weapon Ex fights for the tokens to get G-Warrior.

I took a break to work on other things though. I'm 0/whatever on Emerald and I haven't had much luck finding parties to clear the Ex Weapon trials. But, I'll finish it up eventually.

50+ Hades Extreme and 50+ Hades Normal with no drop yet.
I'm hoping it drops from normal, because I don't feel like doing Extreme anymore.

The Roegyden guard waaaaaay in the back of Kugane. Been trying to get one card off of him on and off for weeks. I win most of the time and half the time he'll give me the same card i already won. One time I beat him almost 11 times in a row and got almost out of all those wins the same exact card i already have and not the one I want! xD

At least you are farming the crystal which is worth 1 mill gil. Assuming you can desynthesize.

Top 3 Worst.
Hab was feeling extremely stingy. Hildi & Nashu card took 125 wins.
Swift. Took 103 wins to get Raubahn.
Eden's Promise 51 E12N runs.

Zidane card.
That's it.
I've lost count of how many millions of MGP I've spend on Gold Packs, I still don't have it.

Bozja and BLU NPCs I still have to unlock to play against them, but that's just a matter of time, so...

my biggest grief is chaos ruleset, it turn what is generally consistent win rate into frustration... im at 280 cards atm, so still a ways to go

Hildi & Nashu took me forever.
I spend a whole afternoon trying to get that card.
