Lux-Phantasma Metafilm

[Bright Master!!!]

There is a stage that need boosters to get event currencies that can help you buy things on rifts to ascend a character rank. Is it better to just farm there than rifts?

[Luma]

It is! For 2 boosters you get 1000 metafilms, which allow you to buy 8 data items (120 metafilms each) or 25 codes (40 metafilms each), while clearing a rift will only give you ~3 data items. You can also purchase a maximum of 750000 kane with 1500 metafilms (= 3 boosters), which is far easier than farming rifts.

The only benefit of doing rifts instead of Lux Phantasma is that monsters inside can drop boosters; but the drop rate isn't worth it imo.

Thanks, I didn't know the drops per booster on rifts were low. With this event i can easily rank up my tribe.

Boosters can be droped from any enemy on the maps and are not restricted to Rift enemies.

As there also seems to not exist a limit of how many boosters you can get/day you can restock them all the time but as with the enemy tension cards it´s rndm as sometiems you can get several within minutes and other times you kill a ton of enemies but get not one at all.

Also also you can use the quick kill function as it makes no difference if you kill the enemies normally or just run around like a maniac and kill low lvl stuff.

I know that. I was just saying that at least by doing rifts instead of the event you have a chance to get back boosters, while the event just deplete your stock.

Dont forget you still need 5 rifts for weekly...for some reason.

[*^SaoSin^*]

Yeah weekly rifts for finishing stamples are still valid.
And if someone was lucky enough to get new characters to lvl up.

If you're looking to farm Just the Ascension materials, yes Lux Phantasma is the best option. Rifts still give best value imo since you will be able to farm Ascension mats/Kane/Tension Points and the chance of booster drops from mobs.

In my opinion rifts are superior. Rifts do indeed just give ~3 data balls (~6 for 2 boosters) - but in addition to that, you also get other materials and chests (which give extra kane and tp) + you have a chance to get multiple boosters while doing that, resulting in more rift runs.
(avg around 5 boosters per 30 boosters)

The only thing worth getting from the Lux event are the things that are limited, cause those have higher Booster value. (The Kane/Tp included)

Rifts are not that much slower once you can take down enemies and insta kill bosses with aoe ultimate. And it offers more resources due to chest spawn (and the chance to get more busters by doing take downs).
So its not necessarily worse.

But you might as well just go to the map with the Brave Diver boss and quick kill the mobs to the right to farm boosters, rather than actually fight inside the rifts for boosters.

It is and it isn't,it's best to look at it as a way to break the monotony of farming rifts and do both,easier to get the general resources from the event but doing rifts gets you Kane and such as well.
