I was bored, so this is what happened... (Lightning Cameo/Derping) lol

Ehh, I have to pvp for that right? Never pvped before, not even on my main lol

For about 100k (or so) MGP you can get it too.

I wouldn't waste MGP for that

It costs 1200 Wolf Marks

A single frontline roulette gets you a bonus 1000 marks. And you get another 500 marks for just getting last place

Would you waste MGP, something that can be a bit tedious to get, or would you just do a single roulette and be good?

I appreciate your post! But since I'm only leveling this character with the intent for fun-time backdrop cutscenes I think MPG is a good route for me especially with the event. ;p
I am at 94k from the challenge log so i think I'll be there soon. (Also the roulette isnt showing up available yet so theres that too lol

That just means you haven't unlocked frontline yet, which is just a simple "talk to this npc" quest.

Ultimately, it depends on if you want to spend 100k MGP (that could potentially be spent on other fun stuff), or walking around in a frontline for 15 min, to get enough wolf marks for the PvP version of the shield.

Unfortunately for this. Not everyone likes or even wants to try ... ahem... PVP. Quick and not tedious does not equate not frustrating and not highly annoying. But thank goodness there are two options to gain these items. So I am far more likely to grind by every day for a short 5 mins or so MGP. Rather than slam my head into the brick wall that PVP always is for me. Still Mirakumi might go for it, but not everyone has/will.

I'd hardly call PvP roulette (which is always Shatter), actual PvP, since the main objective in Shatter is getting as much damage on the ice crystals, while mostly avoiding actual PvP.

Even then, a third place in a daily frontline roulette already gives 1500 wolf marks. That's 15 min of messing about to get enough for the shield. How many of those short 5 min windows do you need to get 100k mgp? Likely more than 3. (Unrelated to the shield, but the rest of the PvP garo stuff is also dyeable, while the MGP versions aren't)

Honestly? Just queue into Shatter if you're nervous. It's quite forgiving for newer players. Granted, when SB comes out you'll have significantly less skills to worry about.
