Disappointed in Youkai Watch

[lulunami]

It took me 740 FATES to completely finish this event (including the FATES required to obtain all 13 minions). That is a 30 percent Legendary drop rate. Make sure you are having fun watching Netflix/Youtube while doing this event to balance it out.

Here is a genuine question. Since there are two months for this event, why do you have to bash it out as quickly as you can in a mindless grind wih Netflix/You tube to distract you? Couldn't you just space it out over the two months and gather the medals/legendary medals as you go? It seems as though that was the intent and not that players burn themselves out on FATE in a week or less.

I can't speak for anyone else, nor would I recommend it for anyone else unless they want to get it over with ASAP. but the reason i did is simple. I wanted the achievements. The Yo-kai weapons are one of 4 different weapon sets that give out achievements simply for obtaning the item. The other three being the Relic, Aetherpool and Anima weapons, the latter having achievements for subsequent stages as well. The thing is you have all the time in the world to get all the Relic/Aetherpool/Anima weapons. The Yo-Kai weapons? You only have 2 months, I rather not try to leave something like that incomplete, a possibility when stretching out and miscalculating the amount of medals you try to go for on a daily basis.

In addition, this event would be very luck dependent, which means that doing the grind over time would still cut into time for other grinds (Primal Mounts, PvP, PoTD, etc) and only stickting to a set amount of time per day means one unlucky day could set you back substantially.

i hate FATEs too much to do them for 2 months xD so i finished the whole thing within 5 days. better have no fun for a week than no fun for 2 months...

Like Morningstar1337 already said, I cant speak for everyone but I also finished it yesterday (648 fates) because I just wanted to be done with it. I never liked fates and even though we have two months for it, I was a little afraid that I wont manage to finish it if I don't do it now. The medals are RNG and a 30% droprate would still make it a chance of 70% to not get everything so I said to myself that I will do it now and still have enough time left if RNG hates me that much. I mean there is that other event coming, still wanted to try out Palace of the death solo, maybe my guild mates will want to farm mounts and notes again soon and so on. Still lots of stuff to do right now which could hinder the progress of the weapons.

And lets not forget that now many people will do it, so a lot of the fates will be done quite quickly. I feared that later not many will do it and even if the HP is then way lower, it would still take much more time alone than with lots of people there. I also find the number of fates to finish the weapon, still horrible even if its stretched out over two months, and right now I still had some motivations left to do it, so I made use of that too. I probably would have lost any motivation to finish it, if I had to do fates all months long. At least now I can mostly ignore them (moonfire sadly has fates again Q_Q) and can now do something that at least feels like fun again.

So in the end I did it now because I still had motivation to farm it and because I was afraid that something would come in the way of farming later and that I would not be able to finish it. I mean there could be always things in RL too that could hinder you playing the game, but all the other things that I wanted to try ingame will always be there, while this event has a time limit. (And I do dislike the event but as a mount collector I at least wanted that mount in my collection..)

Oh and I used youtube too as a way to distract myself a little. Fate farming in such low regions are always boring..sometimes you can only use like 2 or 3 skills, so I used my time efficient by finishing this (imo) bad event and at the same time catching up some of the lets plays I wanted to watch.

I'm having the same problem except it has already started happening, less and less people are doing fates, the PF is full of several different zones with only one person in the pt (during primetime no less), and that will only get worse. I may have already missed the boat unless I try really hard.

It might be a strategically smart decision to save the weapons requiring medals from eastern la noscea for last. With the summer event having FATEs, there should be no shortage of people doing those and you can double dip. I think the rest should be relatively easily solo-able, though I personally much prefer solo-fate-ing anyway.

That would be great, if there were any medals from eastern la noscea, SE planned ahead on that one

IMO OLN is best to leave for last, you have two continuously spawning kobold fates you can run back and forth to
