Yokai Event Rerun..

[Dalmacus]

I curse and swear at this in the previous event hoping it could die in a fire and disappear from my life forever. But no, it came back to haunt me again.

Be warned, it will burn you out if you are not careful.
I recommend maximal 10 FATEs each day.

It took me 732 Fates in order to complete the event 100% and that was below average since I had people posting the in the Megathread that they were taking around 800-900 fates to complete it. There's no way to comfortably get that second whisper mount without becoming a slave to Fate grinding during this event.

Also, gonna plug my old Megathread here since all the information is still relevant: Yokai-Watch Event Megathread Guide

How long would it take if you start from zero and want to get all the minions and weapons?

[etherian]

this is my first time doing this event and im happy because i want the mount and those weapons but...
looking at the amount of token increase for each weapon exchange make me lose my motivation...
i dont mind the grind but this is too much! esp. when the drop rate for legendary medal is not 100% @_@

They have seriously upped the drop rate. I'm picking up the weapons I didn't get before and I'm at 15 medals a weapon. I got 2 1/2 weapons in 5 hours of fate running in Middle La Noscea, including downtime and time to zone out and pick up each one.

Seriously upped the drop rate? Either y ou're lucky or I am unlucky. I'm at 22 minion tokens and 3 legendary tokens. So 7 FATEs for each legendary token, at this rate I'm gonna need to do 1533 FATEs to get all the weapons...

Depends how hard you go at it, its around 700 fates, so if you say that each fate is 3 minutes long that would be 35 hours worth of time divided as you choose. I personally took about an hour a day and used it to finish getting all of my jobs to 50.

I dont think they have upped the drop rate, however none of you are accurate sources, the drop rate isnt as bad as you are making it out statistically, you are just an anecdotal example of RNG, whether you are on the lucky or unlucky end we don't know, but in the original event the drop rate worked out at about 1/3 overall (or around 700 fates).

well, the drop rate used to be 25-30% and I wouldn't be too surprised if they increased it. Granted, there's a very good chance that you're just insanely lucky right now since changing the drop rate to any significant degree would have netted SE even more backlash for the people who did the event to completion when it was last up.

I did it quite slow, I took about 3 weeks to finish it up when I did it last year. I would say just focus on a region and get three weapons done until you start hitting 10+ medals required, switch to two weapons.

Actually, it may have to do with licensing agreements and not abrupt favoritism. Unlike every other event, SE doesn't own the exclusive rates of Yokai, thus they cannot sell copyrighted material. That's likely why the event returned since it's promoting Yokai again whereas just stuffing everything on the Mogstation doesn't benefit anyone except Square Enix.

I sadly know that they probably do this because they cant just sell these items on the mog station but part of it still must be because the CEO wanted it to come back too. Anyway its kinda sad that our own ingame events (incl. the items) are not repeatable and those others are.
