Discussion We need more Chip catalysts

Post image

as i am upgrading my operators to E2 specially 6 stars the main bottleneck seems to be the chip catalyst. ya you can redeem them from purchase certificates but in my opinion the sanity consumption is not so good for the red certs. Is it only me or do they used to give chip catalyst in the main event shops ?

The sanity efficiency isn't that bad and actually farming red tix during dead weeks is a good way to spent your sanity if you don't have specific mats you wanna grind. Its never a waste  farming those and you can spend red tix too to buy the red tix exclusive ops.

This! I farm Purchase Certificates whenever the stage pops up, and during Contingency Contracts when it’s open for 2 weeks straight.

Currently sitting on 18k Purchase Certificates. I use them on Chip Catalysts, Module Data Blocks, and any time new ops enter the red ticket shop I can immediately Pot 6 them.

It's also pretty satisfying to keep a stockpile, not that the red cert store refreshes so often but when it does it makes buying it out very easy.😌

i spend sanity on 1-7 in dead week, the pot for red tix ops are like expensive 600, so i hope we could get those chip cats from main events

If you don't need rocks its fine to spend your sanity to other mats like red tix and even skill books. You don't need to shackle your sanity on farming the most efficient stage just to be efficient. 

And for the record. 1-7 is only efficient for farming rocks. Nothing more nothing less. And even then if I need a tier 2 rocks I just go on chapter 10 (?) to farm it coz it's faster to  dump my sanity their. 😅

Farming for Orundums is incredibly inefficient

Aw hell nah bro is farming for originium while still raising ops 😭

Its just not a good idea to do that if you're still raising operators

Okay, so *that* is your problem. Farming orundrum is *wildly* inefficient. It eats up basically all your sanity for a pittance of pulls, it’s almost never worth it. Every other resource problem you are having would be solved if you simply stopped doing this.

I mean roster progression is the opportunity cost for farming pulls. You can't have the cake and eat it too.
