Honestly. I need ±80000 premiums for everything I want in the next two banners (Harlequino, Innefa+Signa, Flinsa's Signa). I don't know how I'll save them up...
I don't understand why, but I've run out of world quests for gems... I used to have a ton of them, and using them and dailies I accumulated 220 spins (I've been playing for three months), but now I can only use Mora or Food. Can anyone tell me what to do about this? Maybe I should continue with the story? The map is completely open, and I'm currently on Fontaine's storyline, plus I somehow managed to skip and now I'm on Nod Edge. Or maybe I just played too hard and hoovered up all those quests in three months, although it's unlikely.
Complete the character legend quest, loot seals in Nod's Edge and Natlan (you can bring them to specific locations, which I listed for the best rewards); oculi in Fontaine, Nod's Edge, and Natlan (giving to statues gives better rewards than in other regions); level up characters to level up the theater and the abyss, and progress through the story itself.
Add pyrocules and a Pyro statue
and the sacred call of the seven is also given there
You've vacuumed everything up and even unscrewed the character you need, and what do you do in the game then?
Save up for another character 😀
