      @@ianashmore9910 The rare drops like infusions in the gifts are never worth gambling for, there are enough openings here on YT where ppl open 10k or even 100k gifts without getting a SINGLE infusion drop, mind you these infusions are mostly on the cheaper end too, i think the most expensive one is like what, 200-300g. You are much better off ALWAYS selling the gifts and just buying whatever you like.
      You are also not really missing out on "the thrill of gambling" because there is such a limited and static ammount of loot i that container. But to each their own. I usuall love to farm the Wintersday JP every time it is around as it is a solid ~30g / hr for me if i just sell the gifts + added karma as a bonus from completed runs. Most metas etc. are not as good / laid back as that.

      @@ianashmore9910 Those are basically zero anyways, there are so many openings of 10k or even 100k and they don't get a single infusion drop. Those infusions are pretty cheap nowaddays too comparable to how rare they are, about 200-300g only. If you open that many gifts it is always a heavy loss. Better to just sell the gifts and buy what you want straight up.

    For Bell choir the best tactic (most laid back) is to choose to always play the high nodes, as most of the buttons u have to press are gonna be the left ones (1-4) only very rarely is it gonna be 6-9 and you can easily just click those with your mouse or even take the damage if you don't care about the score. This is for ALL possible songs btw. so you can forever just play high nodes and almost never have to worry about buttons 6-9 basically.

    • @PRikka

      That's definitely a good idea! I didn't do that in the video because a lot of people still don't have JW, but the resource density there would certainly work well. Will have to test it out! 😄

    Don't forget the Karma for gifts route. The dailies karma bonuses, plus orphan gift run with max buffs gets you enough Karma to get all tiers of gifts from the Seriph with Karma to spare, for an extra 2 mins of clicking you get quite a few extra daily presents for opening to gable on rewards, or for selling.

    Choir bell is actually a amazing farm. I usually don’t play more then 15 minutes of it because it gets boring but it’s worth doing it as much as possible I pop a ton of karma boosting items and go to town and you can jack up your karma fast. I am terrible at jumping puzzles

    • @PRikka
      @PRikka  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, it does get boring pretty fast. I can usually push through for an hour once each weekend.
      For those who can do the JP and succeed often, more power to them! It's just not worthwhile if you're only succeeding 50% of the time. 😅

    JP (leftmost) is about ~30g / hr if you learn to master it, i do it from muscle memory nowaddays cuz i ran it so often.... What I would do is sell the gifts for gold and just BUY the snowflakes that I want to stockpile on (usually after wintersday is over tho because they tend to drop back to 1s each) I just get the stacks i will consume during wintersday and not stockpile tooo many.

    • @PRikka

      How many completions do you get per round in the JP, on average?

    • @Zorrolord
      @Zorrolord หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@PRikka It is a bit luck dependant if you are able to instantly jump again after completing a run and how long you have to wait for the shaking presents, I would say the Gold / hr is higher the more dead the lobby is. But I reach anywhere from 17-21 Completions per full round (so 30 min). I would say average is about 200-225 gifts per half hour. You have to consider every third run you get the infinite achieve which is 5 extra gifts.
