@@NoOneAlive_ The most average I tend to go for is like 1-2 single pull a week, or 4-6 single pull a month. I'm always up for extra pulls, but rarely burn all of my sanity back-to-back on 1-7 unless it is a dry day with no event or stuff to farm.
Yeah it's only really worth when you're like on ultra endgame. Like when you basically have everything you need fully built and just need extra pulls. I'm lv 113 and have been playing for 2 years which I would consider endgame and I'm still not done building operators since we literally get a new one every month. My LMD stocks never go over 200k because I love building units, it's like 50% of the game for me.
@@justinrazon7200 I don't think we're ever truly done, assuming you do have your current operators built, I'd still favor prefarming materials over orundum because getting a shiny new 6* and only being able to use them 1~2ish weeks later is hell of a bummer
@@Scylious Also I find that at some part of the video your voice i a bit louder than the other (excluding then chen part). It's a very small difference but I find it annoying.
To cut to the chase, here are the 3 things a new potential rocc slave needs to consider: 1) The Sanity to Orundum ratio (farming 1-7) is about 1:1.03, or 240 OR a day, 300 with monthly card. Half a pull a day. Easy maffs. Sobering, yes, but simple. 2) Your base should already be able to generate at least 50k LMD entirely on its own. Any less and you'll be bleeding out your Factories. 3) Because of 1) and 2), your account will mostly be frozen. I've been farming with no breaks since end of January (Wet Ch'en fked me. 280 pulls, zero Ch'en. 0 OR; 0 OP). My account now is in the exact same state as it was 2 months ago. LMD didn't increase, no Ops have leveled up, nothing. Your account will be paralysed. With these things taken into consideration, you can now evaluate whether you or your account is ready to apply for the rocc mines.
@Yukikaze Ch My base are 2 Gold Factory and 2 Trading Posts. And it generates 50k+ each days. (With Drone Boost) Other 2 Factories are EXP Productions. Steady 31 Cards per days. I also wrote long comment about my base layout and production stats. Scroll around and you may find it.
@Yukikaze Ch My base is 2/5/2 meaning 2 TP, 2 gold factory 3 xp factory, 2 power plant level 1 dorms. I alternate what I spend drones on daily: On odd days I spend drones on Tequila's TP and on even days I spend drones on XP cards. I produce 45K XP and ~55K LMD on odd days and 50K XP and ~45K LMD on even days for an average of 47.5K XP and ~50K LMD daily. Every day I do 75-76 gold bars. The LMD is very volatile with ranges between 38K and 62K but the XP and gold bars are very predictable and consistent. Some people will focus purely on LMD but I am actively E2'ing every single operator so I am still completely broke when it comes to XP cards. I only have 1 3*+ operator (toddifons) currently that's not at least E1 55 SL 7 and I'm working on getting my E2 operators to level 60, 50, 40 for 6*, 5*, and 4* respectively for module requirements. All this while being a monthly pass player.
btw you can use drones to get shards quickly, 20 drones = 1 shards, if you have enough material you can store the shards little by little even when there's an event. change 1 factory (gold or exp) to shard production, set to ~10 max production (if you have max 200 drones ready), skip the entire thing and return the factory to normal production
You could, but that's not really the problem. The problem is that you'll run out of Rocks faster. As I said in the video, regular sanity recovery cannot keep up with the originium shard production so speeding up production is kinda backward thinking. Those drones would probably be better spent on LMDs or Golds
@@Scylious the reason I don't orundum farm is because it takes IRL time farming 1-7 and for value of pulls I would be making like 20 cents an hour. I get roughly the same sanity efficency buying the two green cert store tickets for 900 every month instead of materials, but I do that because it takes 2 seconds instead of grinding rocks for hours.
I remember i spent around 3.2 million LMD to get orundum to have enough for 300 pulls on a limited character, doing it again for Dusk on the Ling limited banner as I missed her.
Just gonna share my experience as a day 1 Dokutah. I'd say it took me 7 months with monthly card each month before I went into orundum farm. That's what I would say when I reached end game. So by August 2020, I farmed orundum whenever there are no events. Never bought any pack other than monthly cards maybe 15 out of 26 months and right now I'm still missing Nian, Coebe, Rosa, Archetto, Dusk, Carnelian and Pallas
I'm only a monthly card user as well. I farm Orundum on and off, got all my mats from events and certificate shops also farm lmd. i have 500+ pulls saved up(290,000+ Orundum and 400+ OP, and tickets). i'm only missing Mizuki, Nain and the male characters(thorn, Mountain, Hellagur). I never pull on standard banner, but i got all the original starting 6* operators because of spook. I also have 10+ units at maxed lvl. Edit: got lucky on Chen banner because i got her on fre daily pull, that's why i have no Mizuki. Saileach only took 40 pulls.
Or for Doktahs who have already trained up all their operators and are just sitting on mountains of reserve materials waiting for new faces to power up.
It's not efficient by any means, but what's kept me afloat in terms of balancing LMD and rocks is stockpiling a few shards (20 or so) and then producing about 10~12 daily. After that, I'd solely use drones to create orundum (40 drones per order) and swap back to gold when you're out. I've only recently started experimenting so I could prepare for Nalter, but at this point for me every bit of every pull helps as a f2p and it adds about 130 orundum daily, so it definitely adds up. As for feedback, you're a natural at this. Couldn't even tell you were new to these kinds of videos, good job.
It should be noted that for less than 2 weeks of farming you can get a 6* potential from the red cert store and those are going to be refreshing with different classes in the future. So in the same month that you get the 17 pulls you could get 2 6* potentials which is debatably worth ~70 pulls if all you care about are 6*. Notably this does nothing to help you get new 6* and will not give you the 70 pulls equivalent of 5* potentials but I still think it's an interesting point of comparison especially in a conversation about whether or not it's worth doing.
Yep, I have been spending my sanity to farm red cert for these tokens. It's more important for me (where else would you get a 6* token easily) Sometimes I do farm 1-7 for shards too, just not to get bored :)
really cool breakdown of this topic, having always heard that it's not really worth it in a general sense, getting a more clear picture of the pros and cons is pretty helpful. thanks for the vid!
Targeting Paradox Simulations up to the 4 stars seems more of a balanced way to gain more orundum (Operator Progression + More Gameplay). Even the 5 stars might even be efficient too, but I haven't done the math.
I bought 3 months worth of monthly card today and since my account is already at the endgame level, I wil start to farm orundums from now on. Thank you for a very detailed orundum farming video.
my only defense for farming orundums is this. I am not financially stable enough to pay for pulls when i need to, and at the same time i can't resist not pulling for limiteds, regardless of their performance.
I've never considered doing this, all I do when an event ends is randomly stock up on whatever resources without a clear goal. I already have pre-farmed for Gnosis to E.2 90 and M3 his S2 and S3. I'm not raising any ops as I'm waiting for new ones to come out, so.. I might do this to gain some extra pulls uwu
What I usually do is farm rocks on dead weeks or on a rerun event, when theres rerun event I usually blow out all my sanity plus abit of originite to get all the rewards for the rerun within a day or two, then I farm as much rocks as I can within the next couple of weeks while the rerun event is running and convert my base rotation once a new event starts to start farming originium. Not as ideal like what other people does but works for me since I only usually play once a day.
For someone that literally just reached end game and just started trying to figure out how to get more orundum, this video was really informative! Thank you!
You did an amazing job if this was your 1st time making this kind of video dude. 👌 Also thanks, Ill need this strat if I want to reach 300 pulls for Dusk in Ling's Banner.
Well done on the video, you touch various topic about the subject and present it in entertaining way. For future release, maybe tone down the BGM a bit since it's get in the way of your beautiful presentation.
Thats why I only recommend this to veterans. If you have a roster with high level ops and half of them E2 lv.90 and you've got nothing else to do then go for it. I'd recommend 3-3-3 base setup tho, its most chill for orundum farming , although you get no exp during farming rocks switch it to exp during events
Well chapter 9 really put a damper on my orirock mining operation. Bec I'm planning to build all the pinus slyvhestris members(hoping I can get all of them) so I need lots of cutting fluid and that pink stuffs. And u know how trash is the drop rate for cutting fluid. 😭
I'll been orundum farming since the first obsidian festival. 1-7 is where I live. It's not the most fun but when I get new events the stockpiling feels worth it. I've rolled at least once per special banner and my supplies have yet to drop under 100 rolls and then some. Is it efficient, not really. Do I have lots of rolls yes I had to do a weird base configuration and pick "slower" operators to put into 1 factory and trade center to balance out the production so I'm still getting more LMD than I'm spending.
Great video! Thanks for covering this topic in-depth! That being said, the music is way too loud compared to your voice. Specially at 6:10 onwards Your script and content is good, but the audio mixing could be improved
“Veterans” Check “Collectors” Check “No Lifers”...why do I feel exposed? Anyways, I rarely only focus on Orundum farming. Mostly spend like less than 7 days (or more on dead week or dry days) on farming Orirocks .
ooo another in depth orundum farm video, nice!!!! as for me....i am already ̶o̶b̶s̶e̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ stuck at orundum farming and i usually stock up 400-600+ rocks before i start converting them (pls send help) anyways nice video and keep it up~
When you have all your ops raised with tons of surplus E2 & M3 mats, what else do you have to do other than farm for roccs? It's what I do when it's a dead week in AK.
Great video, well-explained, provided pros and cons so people can decide on their own. Initially I farmed orundum a year after release, but I stopped because of these reasons: 1. It drains the life out of my devices (phone and laptop). 2. Running out of LMD and sanity is a chore, and switching base constructions is a pain. 3. Farmed orundum has atrocious luck during pulls, especially on limited banners. I realized farming IRL is much more satisfying and rewarding. So I switched from being a filthy casual to be a fish/dolphin, only buying the monthly for the everyday extra sanity and the occasional monthly headhunting pack if I liked particular skins. Orundum that I naturally earn from dailies are luckier, I usually get the limited op or 6* in around 30-40 pulls.I am currently only missing two operators, Pallas and Mountain, and I'm pretty confident they'll come home when I try to pull for other operators.
I didn't bother doing the orundum rocc farm because it's just not worth it for the amount you get. I prefer waiting for the weekly reset while using my sanity on farming materials for the upcoming new operators.
with 1 factory and 1 trade post dedicated for orondum farming and farm 1-7 every morning 8 am and night 8pm, i make around 300-330 orondum everyday. in case your rock farm cannot keep up with the factory production speed change the operator to low efficiency to get the time needed to farm rocks. this farming method will paralyze you operator progress so only rocks farm when u got the comfortable squad(or unit) to do event and stuff. btw i am level 134, 100 orondum from daily mission + 300 from factory*7 = 2800 + 500 orondum from weekly mission = 3300 + 1800 from anni mission = 5100 every week, is that correct ??? i dont account for monthly certificate reset because i dont know how much i get from certificate. and sorry bad grammar, i dont mainly use english for stuff
shortest TLDR to rocc slave / 1-7 enjoyer / orundum farmer, you DONT do this when you still want to raise some operators. You DO this when you have nothing to do, usually happens to end game veteran player
I know that it shouldnt work like this but for me farming device in S3-4 is better, like, literally I get more extra devices (2 per run) than runs without one dropping and the time I need to spend is sooooo short compared to farming rocks perfect for weeks, rocks for weekends
I have most Blue-class and lower class recources in number of 100+ so I got no need to farm other recources therefore, farming Orirock instead. And I also have my way to farm it wihtout losing MY sanity in it process. My base is 4 factory - 2 Trading posts 1 Factory producing Gold + 1 Originium Shard Factory + 2 EXP Factory. 1 Trading post for Orundum + 1 Gold Trading post Here the catch. I switch out Operator producing Originium Shard one day and go back to producing gold and swtich it back every 1 day. So it "Origium Shard Producing Day" and then it "Gold Producing Day" swaping each times. Trading post also changes according to the Factory Productions. Here are the Production Stats - Gold Producing Day - 70 (more or less) Gold 56,000 LMD Gold Sales 0 Orundum - Originuim Shard Producing Day - 40 (more or less) Gold 30,000 LMD Gold Sales 300 Orundum - Steady 31 EXP Cards per days at all time - (All of this stats are "Drone Boost" according to the need of the base. Either boost of Originium Shards or Gold or Sale Orders. Drone recharge normally.) Note - If I don't switch Production days. It will deplete either Gold or Originium Shards + I only have one set of Originium Shard Production Operator. So I never run out of Golds nor Origium Shards. If there are a steady supply of Orirocks. And as long as there are no Event stages to attend to. Note 2 - Montly Subscription active at all time. My LMD increase as well, it never been in frozen state due to productions. At this time of writing this. I have 100,500 Orundum. Hope this help whoever reading this. I want to put link of the Screenshot of my base output but RUclips auto block comment with links...I'll try put it in the reply then...If you don't see it then it got auto-blocked.
For me to make it as stable as possible, i decided to orundum farm only for 200 orundum a day. Meaning that, if i'm lucky i can have some spare sanity for other things. Not only that, but i tend to have a fairly big stock of orirock, so i can at least not farm Orirock for 7-10 days, just enough to finish any event. And since i'm a monthly pass player, i use all those extra sanity potions on LMD, chips or other stuff. With these i've managed to develop a fairly healthy and balanced way to have income for everything. Pulls, LMD, EXP, materials, event farming.
Personally what I do is wait for "dead periods" to farm the red rocks. However, I am starting to ignore my newest Operators. So I got to the conclusion of farming when a specific Banner comes around, and not a permanent set up ony Rhodes. This video managed to make me took this choice, as I felt I am no longer playing AK, but rather farmville.
Im kinda always feeling like that :o Farming few stages on Auto for mats, sanity gone - > same next day and the day after and so on. Then farming exp tickets bcause u need tons for a few lvls on a single OP, then farming lmd or farming mats again until base generated enough lmd etc etc. At end of chapter 4 i have too say i do rarely more than 1 main Story stage per week, sometimes even less. Rest is farming for materials or Event farming..
Somewhere in depth of arknights server. There is a whale account sitting with 252 base with a factory + trading post solely for orondum farming. Also, they have like 10k rocks in their inventory just chilling. I bet they are indeed exist.
so I've been farming devices and now you're telling me the better way is to farm rocks damn but I'll still keep doing my own thing thanks for the tips though I use them to make my work go easier
me starting after Chen alter banner gone from 0 Orundum & 0 Ticket now have 90K Orundum with that method really worth it i can do 300+ pull when Ling comes. NOICES
keep farming brotha, I was once a rich player that own hundred thousands orrundum but I hit a wall in chalter banner and haven't recovered since, now I was thrown into mining hell and hope that I can get Ntr knights and have spare for Ling
i do farm actually after ch 9 drop, rn i only got 280ish pulls when i need 700+ for all that i want up to 3rd anniversary maybe. im not going to fcking play with luck, imma override them
I saved up 100k orundum to get W, I havent rolled in 6 months.😥 At least my base is not terrible. Edit: Also I should use blue archive ost's to play stages more.
Obviously, farming orirock only make sense during late game when you have enough operators leveled up to finish all the levels and they operators you haven't leveled up yet are no longer urgently needed to be leveled up. Most players will waste sanity at some point because they're not going to be staring at the game constantly, so there's always some wasted sanity that can be used to farm. And now, orirock farming is made easier with the x6 autodeploy now. You can cut the time by a lot. When you have lots of teams of exhausted factory works and then you can swap in the team of originium shard workers while you rest your LMD & EXP teams. Basically, you farm originium when you have down time and don't have anything else to do. Might as well get a few extra pulls out of it.

To put things to scale, for a 10-pull you need 1200 rocks.

Well chapter 9 really put a damper on my orirock mining operation. Bec I'm planning to build all the pinus slyvhestris members(hoping I can get all of them) so I need lots of cutting fluid and that pink stuffs. And u know how trash is the drop rate for cutting fluid. 😭
I'll been orundum farming since the first obsidian festival. 1-7 is where I live. It's not the most fun but when I get new events the stockpiling feels worth it. I've rolled at least once per special banner and my supplies have yet to drop under 100 rolls and then some. Is it efficient, not really. Do I have lots of rolls yes
I had to do a weird base configuration and pick "slower" operators to put into 1 factory and trade center to balance out the production so I'm still getting more LMD than I'm spending.
Great video! Thanks for covering this topic in-depth!
That being said, the music is way too loud compared to your voice. Specially at 6:10 onwards
Your script and content is good, but the audio mixing could be improved
It’s something you do for a month straight or something to build reserves with our future sight in Global or to refill your stock in CN.
I only limited farming orirock to 44 because you only need 22 shards a day for a month to have exact 10 pulls
theoretically since if your auto deploy failed u get a portion of drops as well as returned sanity, we can abu- ahem use this to double the rewards
I just started playing it a few days ago and I have no idea what I'm doing
“Veterans” Check
“Collectors” Check
“No Lifers”...why do I feel exposed?
Anyways, I rarely only focus on Orundum farming. Mostly spend like less than 7 days (or more on dead week or dry days) on farming Orirocks .
Great vid! The BGM is a bit too loud tho.
I’m probably going to farm orundum for like a month or two since I’m not super busy rn and I want to pull for both Dorothy and Texalter
Eyyyy nice vid!
i wish they put something like sweep button or something.
ooo another in depth orundum farm video, nice!!!!
as for me....i am already ̶o̶b̶s̶e̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ stuck at orundum farming and i usually stock up 400-600+ rocks before i start converting them (pls send help)
anyways nice video and keep it up~
When you have all your ops raised with tons of surplus E2 & M3 mats, what else do you have to do other than farm for roccs?
It's what I do when it's a dead week in AK.
Great video, well-explained, provided pros and cons so people can decide on their own. Initially I farmed orundum a year after release, but I stopped because of these reasons:
1. It drains the life out of my devices (phone and laptop).
2. Running out of LMD and sanity is a chore, and switching base constructions is a pain.
3. Farmed orundum has atrocious luck during pulls, especially on limited banners.
I realized farming IRL is much more satisfying and rewarding. So I switched from being a filthy casual to be a fish/dolphin, only buying the monthly for the everyday extra sanity and the occasional monthly headhunting pack if I liked particular skins. Orundum that I naturally earn from dailies are luckier, I usually get the limited op or 6* in around 30-40 pulls.I am currently only missing two operators, Pallas and Mountain, and I'm pretty confident they'll come home when I try to pull for other operators.
Ah, a fellow quarry enthusiast. Never stop the grind, king.
I didn't bother doing the orundum rocc farm because it's just not worth it for the amount you get. I prefer waiting for the weekly reset while using my sanity on farming materials for the upcoming new operators.
with 1 factory and 1 trade post dedicated for orondum farming and farm 1-7 every morning 8 am and night 8pm, i make around 300-330 orondum everyday. in case your rock farm cannot keep up with the factory production speed change the operator to low efficiency to get the time needed to farm rocks.
this farming method will paralyze you operator progress so only rocks farm when u got the comfortable squad(or unit) to do event and stuff. btw i am level 134,
100 orondum from daily mission + 300 from factory*7 = 2800 + 500 orondum from weekly mission = 3300 + 1800 from anni mission = 5100 every week, is that correct ??? i dont account for monthly certificate reset because i dont know how much i get from certificate.
and sorry bad grammar, i dont mainly use english for stuff
shortest TLDR to rocc slave / 1-7 enjoyer / orundum farmer, you DONT do this when you still want to raise some operators. You DO this when you have nothing to do, usually happens to end game veteran player
0:43 what's the difference that you had to correct yourself ?
best farm spot for orirock is ch'en holiday event because the cost for 1 orirock is cheap
Hearing I'm not the only one who got fucked over by Chalter makes me feel a little better. I feel your pain brother.
Me: exactly 299 pulls 3 hours until the event ended.... with the rocc
i mean if you been playing the game since release you must have a freak ton of mats and op max so i guess this a good places to passively spend them
I mean, it's really good if you have right base layout and you are multi-task person.
dont forgot sanity cap. assume it 120 so youll just farm for 30 mins every login
I know that it shouldnt work like this but for me farming device in S3-4 is better, like, literally I get more extra devices (2 per run) than runs without one dropping and the time I need to spend is sooooo short compared to farming rocks
perfect for weeks, rocks for weekends
I have most Blue-class and lower class recources in number of 100+ so I got no need to farm other recources therefore, farming Orirock instead. And I also have my way to farm it wihtout losing MY sanity in it process.
My base is 4 factory - 2 Trading posts
1 Factory producing Gold + 1 Originium Shard Factory + 2 EXP Factory.
1 Trading post for Orundum + 1 Gold Trading post
Here the catch. I switch out Operator producing Originium Shard one day and go back to producing gold and swtich it back every 1 day.
So it "Origium Shard Producing Day" and then it "Gold Producing Day" swaping each times. Trading post also changes according to the Factory Productions.
Here are the Production Stats
- Gold Producing Day -
70 (more or less) Gold
56,000 LMD Gold Sales
0 Orundum
- Originuim Shard Producing Day -
40 (more or less) Gold
30,000 LMD Gold Sales
300 Orundum
- Steady 31 EXP Cards per days at all time -
(All of this stats are "Drone Boost" according to the need of the base. Either boost of Originium Shards or Gold or Sale Orders. Drone recharge normally.)
Note - If I don't switch Production days. It will deplete either Gold or Originium Shards + I only have one set of Originium Shard Production Operator.
So I never run out of Golds nor Origium Shards. If there are a steady supply of Orirocks. And as long as there are no Event stages to attend to.
Note 2 - Montly Subscription active at all time.
My LMD increase as well, it never been in frozen state due to productions.
At this time of writing this. I have 100,500 Orundum.
Hope this help whoever reading this.
I want to put link of the Screenshot of my base output but RUclips auto block comment with links...I'll try put it in the reply then...If you don't see it then it got auto-blocked.
For me to make it as stable as possible, i decided to orundum farm only for 200 orundum a day. Meaning that, if i'm lucky i can have some spare sanity for other things. Not only that, but i tend to have a fairly big stock of orirock, so i can at least not farm Orirock for 7-10 days, just enough to finish any event.
And since i'm a monthly pass player, i use all those extra sanity potions on LMD, chips or other stuff. With these i've managed to develop a fairly healthy and balanced way to have income for everything. Pulls, LMD, EXP, materials, event farming.
why i doesnt get orundum even tho my weekly are full
Personally what I do is wait for "dead periods" to farm the red rocks.
However, I am starting to ignore my newest Operators. So I got to the conclusion of farming when a specific Banner comes around, and not a permanent set up ony Rhodes.
This video managed to make me took this choice, as I felt I am no longer playing AK, but rather farmville.
Im kinda always feeling like that :o
Farming few stages on Auto for mats, sanity gone - > same next day and the day after and so on. Then farming exp tickets bcause u need tons for a few lvls on a single OP, then farming lmd or farming mats again until base generated enough lmd etc etc. At end of chapter 4 i have too say i do rarely more than 1 main Story stage per week, sometimes even less. Rest is farming for materials or Event farming..
Conclusion:
You can never ever escape....
...the rocc mines. Back to mines now Dokutah ;-;
The rock is eternal
@@Scylious now the essence of rock manifest into a waifu caster, and she shall be named "Rockrock"
Somewhere in depth of arknights server. There is a whale account sitting with 252 base with a factory + trading post solely for orondum farming. Also, they have like 10k rocks in their inventory just chilling. I bet they are indeed exist.
5:33
"Damn that's crazy." -Me, a guy who got her in 2 free 10-pulls
Could tone down the bgm a bit. The video's nice, quick and simple.
so I've been farming devices and now you're telling me the better way is to farm rocks damn but I'll still keep doing my own thing thanks for the tips though I use them to make my work go easier
Oof. But glad to help
Me : wow this video have good explaination and animation, lets see how many subs? 300ish sub? Wait what, how
Btw good video btw
i actually just set a macro on my emulator and let it auto farm 1-7 while doing other things lol, so time isn't really a big deal
you can use macro on emulator to auto repeat stages so you don't need to spend your time watching 1-7 runs
I'm watching this as i farm rocks at 1-7 bcs i simply just really want Mr. Lee 😅😅. Great video tho!!
As a veteran , i can confitm this.
yea for you all who wanna do Orundum Farm make sure you stocking all LMD before.
There's always the weekly Annihilation Operation
me starting after Chen alter banner gone from 0 Orundum & 0 Ticket now have 90K Orundum with that method
really worth it
i can do 300+ pull when Ling comes. NOICES
loved the vid but music in the background felt a bit too loud
I quit Arknights after playing for 2 years, and hearing you talk about resource management literally gave me PTSD flashbacks
Hi, a very new player here. What about the weekly annihilation operation orundum stages, should those be avoided as well?
You should do the annihilation stages still. They give more orundum per sanity spent after all
@@Scylious Alright, thanks for the reply.
*EDIT Monthly Report:* I have reached the amount of 10k Orirocks Cubes
That is very productive, sir.
0:06 me who living in Bengkulu city: hey we have that tower too🤣
The music is too loud, makes it hard to hear the background voice :(
I m confuse as I also want ntr knight and ling
keep farming brotha, I was once a rich player that own hundred thousands orrundum but I hit a wall in chalter banner and haven't recovered since, now I was thrown into mining hell and hope that I can get Ntr knights and have spare for Ling
i do farm actually after ch 9 drop, rn i only got 280ish pulls when i need 700+ for all that i want up to 3rd anniversary maybe. im not going to fcking play with luck, imma override them
I just cant let my op low lvl so i want to max everything i want before i start rock farming
And before I accept task, my rock should be 2000 atleasy
A note tone down the BGM i hardly could hear you. Still a good watch 👍👍👍
the bg music is too loud but good video!!
great vid buuut i felt like that the music was a little too loud compared to your voice.
No, you called it right the first time. Gambling Addicts. Because gambling is fun so what can you do.
I saved up 100k orundum to get W, I havent rolled in 6 months.😥 At least my base is not terrible.
Edit: Also I should use blue archive ost's to play stages more.
Honestly they should improve upon this system to make it actually worth doing, the games been out for years now
How many Orundum Shard to get 10 pulls?
tbh, i get way more mad farming chips than roccs for some reason
Good thing I'm using my laptop to run 1-7 on a macro....
Also I'm so endgame at this stage that I don't need much more.
me: doing it while knowing it is not very efficient
More pulls for Ling and Lee!
im new should i do 252?
I did one simple methode, I skipped skalter banner and now I sit on 240k orundum. Lets go Fartooth!
Obviously, farming orirock only make sense during late game when you have enough operators leveled up to finish all the levels and they operators you haven't leveled up yet are no longer urgently needed to be leveled up. Most players will waste sanity at some point because they're not going to be staring at the game constantly, so there's always some wasted sanity that can be used to farm. And now, orirock farming is made easier with the x6 autodeploy now. You can cut the time by a lot. When you have lots of teams of exhausted factory works and then you can swap in the team of originium shard workers while you rest your LMD & EXP teams. Basically, you farm originium when you have down time and don't have anything else to do. Might as well get a few extra pulls out of it.
Good vid
