New to game. What extractions to do?

[Wildy]

Got 7000 Lunacy at this point. Just want to spend it wisely. Suggestions?

[Damoncles]

Default banner is bad because it doesn't give Ideality, which converts into Thread later (Useful material).
Have you done beginner's banner yet?

[Wildy]

I havnt done anything yet. By default you mean Standard Extraction? Okay avoid that. Do I want the Welcome Extraction? Are the current focused banner worth getting? Sinclair etc

[Demonking]

Focused banners are good for if you're missing a specific ID on a sinner, whether you get it or not you're getting a minimum of 27 + 15 shards per a roll. The new character banners are better for if you're up to date. You should do the beginning banner first because it has exceptional rates.

Really it boils down to your yellow boxes, let us know if you can farm them through dailies and mirror dungeon. If you can, it may be better to save up lunacy until the Walpurgisnacht. But if you don't care, then it's mostly about choosing the right banners to pull.

Right now the Sinclair ID Cinq is good, one out of the two of his best ID's, however that banner also has an EGO, which are very hard to pull. It'd probably be better to pull a double ID banner. Can't really say if Dieci banne is worth it, bc the ID's are new, but at least Hong Lu seems decent.

These banners are gonna be here for a while, so unless you want them, maybe waiting is better.

[Wildy]

I've got 10 yellow boxes so far. Should I do more than 3 mirror runs a week?

[Birp]

If you don't mind the hassle, then reroll on standard banner until you get multiple meta ids.

(reroll on mobile/emulator, then link to steam afterwards)

All of them that lasts for limited time. All of them that lasts for limited time.

Welcome Extraction is okay to burn, since you're guaranteed a 3 star after pulling it 100 times (I think?). It'll disappear after the last pull on it

Standard Extraction is okay for a lot of random IDs, but as mentioned already, it doesn't provide "Thread", which is used for upgrading IDs and EGOs to a more usable state through "Upties"/"Threadspins". Standard is Uptie/Threadspin 3

Targeted banners are good because you get Yisang for every pull, which can be used to grab the target 3-star or EGO for 200 Yisang, or saved to be converted into Thread afterwards.

Do NOT pull on a target EGO banner and expect the EGO. A target banner is basically this:
If you were to get a 2-star/3-star/EGO, there is a 50% chance that it will be from the target banner.

EGO is about 1.3% (You can read probabilities on the banner). Don't bother. (I did in fact try pulling the Sinclair Lantern EGO once and got Hong Lu Soda EGO instead)

There is a single event that comes around every 3 months with exclusive characters, called Walpurgist Night. Walpurgist Night IDs and EGO are only available in the dispenser during the event (excluding their debut banner), and is the closest the game has to having limited time characters. If you want to save your Lunacy and Egoshards for anything, it's this.

If you're going to pull, try to do 10-pulls, since the 10th one will never be a 1-star ID.

Also, don't worry too much about your Lunacy. Project Moon gives out 300 a week for maintenance compensation, and when you unlock Mirror Dungeons, you can play it and get 750 a week.

A normal run will get you 3 BP levels without the bonus, I think (At max BP this is basically 3 yellow boxes) Hard run is the same, unless you have the hard bonus, then it's considerably more (I forgot the number )

It's not really worth it to do more than 3 mirror runs a week imo, but you can complete a run and avoid claiming the rewards (but don't reject them!) to save it for the next week. Bonuses on a new week will apply to runs from the previous, so you can grab some instant lunacy if your favorite banner is about to expire.

Just remember to finish your runs, though. New weeks instantly end any run in progress and claiming rewards will be based on where you were in that run

I mean both Dieci Sang and Dieci Hong are pretty straightforward, and require no team setup, so it sounds like a valid idea to roll them for newbies

[A5G_Reaper]

Expend the starter, then if you have leftover you can consider rolling a banner if a good one is available (current dieci pair is pretty good). Dont worry overmuch about getting the good IDs, you can do just fine with the base until around canto 3. Then at that point you can start level and uptie the best IDs that you've gotten so far.

[SmallGespenst]

for the most part it's standard gatcha fare, ignore the default banner, clean out the newbie banner ASAP and generally try to get the newest stuff.
some caveats to keep track of; the Dispenser exists so generally it's relatively easy to just buy any priority IDs once you have a decent supply of crates (especially towards the end of each Season since half of all owned EGOshards and Crates will be auto-converted to Thread, coincidentally, the beginning of each season is the best time to get caught-up on tier 3 upgrades for EGO and IDs since you'll have a ton of Thread if you're a fairly active player.)
And Walpurgis Night events exist, they happen once every (roughly) three months, generally have good stuff, and Walpurg content can't be Extracted or Dispensed outside of a Walpurg event, and can't be Dispensed at all during the Walpurg that released them, so generally if a Walpurg banner is running that leaps straight to top-priority.

That's really up to you.
I used to do Mirror Dungeon Hard once per week (with battle pass) last season, and over 3 months that got me about 1600 crates(?). That's enough for 8 IDs.
I let half of it dissolve for thread, of course.

You need about 200 boxes to go from 0 to 400 shards. At 400 shards you can dispense a 000 ID. Rather silly, no wonder Director had to add a limited banner where IDs can't be immediately sharded.

[1162706830]

PM keeps releasing specific 000 id banners, and they never repeat.

Since there is no way to know whether next coming id is good or not, there is no point to worry which banner to pull, do it as you like.

And besides, 99% id can be crafted by 400 shards at any time, so there is even less worry.

[1162706830]

Oh and they sometimes release a special banner focus on a certain character, like Sinclair banner now. Currently almost every character has two good 000 ids and a not-so-good 000 one. So your choice matters little. Well, expect for one sinner I guess.

Just ignore standard extraction since it doesn't give you bonus thread.
