Bonus Starlight

[Lunatic]

anybody know if theres a way to increase how much starlight earned per dungeon run? i thought it might be based on unspent cost, but ending a run with 300+ still gave only 100~ish starlight.

I saw someone say that it had something to do with the number of combat encounters you do (so less events = more starlight), but I cannot confirm (I don't think it adds very much anyway).

Hard mode will also reward 25% more starlight when it is added.

yea i just did a run where i took every event i could (hehe, ego hording my beloved) and i got 105, as opposed to my first run where i recall getting 102, and i did mostly combat that run

The more encounters and hard encounters you'll take the more it will reward I assume. So prioritizing bosses and abnos over normal fights and prioritizing fights in general over events.

Winning event rolls/receiving gifts and spending currency probably helps too if only a bit.

ill try doin all fites my next run and see how it goes

Weird, I heard them say it was based on the amount of Cost spent in stores, the more spent, the more gained. Though that theory would be incredibly odd, as games ussually reward exess/unspent currency instead...

Still... The route I take in my runs has nothing to do with challange, but I ussually get around a 100 for...
-Going through as fast as possible, with a route that prioritizes Rest/Dispenser > Event > Human Battles (Blunt) > Human Battles (any) > Abnormality (Any), trying to minimize battles.
-Avoiding Abnormality battles like the plague (they're NASTY, and long AF).
-Spending all Cost available before ending a run (why not, it's lost otherwise anyway).

So that wasn't exactly a challenging or combat-heavy route, but I still got 100 for it on average, sometimes a few points more or less.

Passive-wise I enabled:
- +50 Starting Cost (x2)
- +1 E.G.O Resource affnity.

Dunno if those made a difference, hm... weird though. I got around 90 points or so in my first 3 runs (when it was brand new), would the weekly bonus reduce it, or did the cost buffs also increase the reward? Or is it shopping-related somehow?

Just unlocked +10 Cost gained post-battle, so maybe that'll do something later. Guess there's no time to do a MD run now to test it.

Just wonder if we can do anything else with those Starlight when time come we done with all starter buff node in chart.

They said in notice/guide that Starlight can be use with other Dungeon too but that was it said and cant really be done since this is only one place we can use them atm.

I generally prioritize shop > event > boss > abno > normal fight > chair and it nets me about 110 light per clear. Not sure if its optimal but works for me.

I'm currently doing a bunch of runs to prepare for hard mode, while I am at it I am tracking the number of fights I completed each run. I let you guys know my results when I am done.

basicly don't spend md point. the point is your starlight point at the end of calculations.

Not at all the case. I just ended a run with over 500 cost yesterday and still got 100ish starlight for it.

Got 114 Starlight thru focusing on Abnos, Dispenser spending and Elite fights. Idk if it's the highest you can get but i don't think there are any clear factors that increase how much you get per dungeon. Guess you just gotta grind.

[CarThief]

Yeah, I try to spend it all and I still get 90-100 generally, so I guess it doesn't have to do anything with Cost (the dungeon's currency).

Seems like it's likely battle-related yeah, as I had some smoother (low-battle) runs and that ended up being closer to 90 points instead of 100. Doesn't seem like it's a significant increase if you get all battle-heavy though, from the looks of it, I guess?

Its 100% related to abno and boss fights. Prioritizing them will reward 110+ points per run.

The "?" Abno encounter nodes included or just the fights only?

Fights. Not sure about events actually but I wouldn't prioritize fight over event or shop anyway.
