How long does it take to dye artifact armor from Eureka?

[Joe777]

how can you be lvl 5 with only 45 crystals? at level 5 all my armor and my gun was upgraded. just take parts in fate train dont grind mobs it's useless... just follow the train, trash mobs until the boss pop, kill the boss and go to the next place, you can make over 600 protean per hour.

i'm lvl 12 now and begin to farm the big crystals to uprgade the armor to the final stage.

Make a group with your FC enter Eurka and enjoy the Fate Train!

A pretty good chunk of my xp came from the NMs slain, between the 3 probably about 11k worth or so? The rest was grinded out on trash mobs, usually in a group. In larger, more reliable groups we'd grind mobs above our level. Mind you, we were all around the same level so we don't have the higher drop rates higher level mobs do. Factor that with the fact I have not exchanged my Anemos Crystals for Protean Crystals, and the fact RNG is still a factor and it isn't hard to believe. Furthermore, I don't spend all my time in Eureka, and most of my time spent there was on day 1 and 2 for the most part. Things have changed drastically with how players tackle Eureka since the first day or 2.

P.S. It's also possible to get Protean Crystals when your group kills trash mobs while you are a good distance away, thus providing crystals but no xp. I've gotten 1 this way so far.

I don't understand this... I've been following fate chain from lvl 2 to 5 tonight. Killed every nm that spawned. only have like 30 crystals and 20 lockboxes.... where are you getting 600 an hour from

600 Protean/hour is roughly 170 Anemos/hour. If we average the yield of all Fates from 5 (Callisto) to 11 (Serket), we get around 23 Anemos per Fate. You can't do that if you are not getting the Fate's rewards for being too low level, obviously.
So, Ladygrilka is basically claiming to be doing between 6 and 8 Fates per Hour.

From experience, it takes between 10 and 20 minutes for a Fate train to spawn a NM. So, if your train don't split, an average of 4 Fate per hour is what you'd get. 5 If it's good. 6 or 7 if it splits and all Fates are available (requires luck and a lot of coordination).

600/hour is most probably what we'll be able to achieve when the majority of players are getting to ~LV.17. But claiming to to that now, at Lv.12, isn't realistic. Between 300 and 400 is probably a better guess.
