I, too, have only gotten two, though I don't coli as aggressively as some people. I'd say, grind somewhere for a few days (somewhere that you can go through enemies fast) , maybe a week, and if you haven't gotten one, call it quits and buy one. Hopefully you'll make some money grinding to offset the cost, or you might just get lucky!

Honestly, unless you're really lucky, it would be easier to just buy it if you really want it. However, I've heard that people have good luck getting it to drop in Sandswept Delta; lately a lot of people have been getting it in Scorched Forest, if you want to try grinding for it.

Personally i would coli it bc i don't have the patience to save

Go ahead and buy it. the chances of any elimnate dropping is so slim it's not even worth it.

You have 2 25s (at a glance) that can both be used to grind low level venues. If you have plenty of time (and enough patience to sit doing one thing for hours) then you can easily grind the Training Fields and Woodland Path.

If not, I would recommend that you tincture at least one of your dragons for the Ruins build. That way, you can grind fodder or level other perma dragons while you hunt for the eliminate. If your second level 25 has rally, it will make life many times easier as the grinding will be practically seamless (unless elim misses, but we'll get to that later). I've had eliminate drop once for me while leveling fodder, but if you dont want to leave it to pure chance you can always grind the delta, which goes a lot faster with an eliminate.

I've never had an eliminate drop in the coli my entire time being here, and I coli a lot. I'm not saying you won't have better luck, but I'm just saying you never know. I would just buy it and, if anything, coli to make back the funds.

Disagree, I think coli it for a few days like Mertisal said. I have seen 7 people including myself get Eliminates so far during NotN and I feel like the drop rates increased.

i have not gotten an elim to drop for me for the 3 years i have been here, so i'd personally vote buy.

Buy. If, by some miraculous happenstance of RNG occurs and one drops you can always sell it. :)

In the meantime, you will generally make much more than the cost of Eliminate with the speed differential alone by the time NotN is over depending on how much time you spend in the coli.

Go to Maki's guide and check out the current average for chest per hour in each venue and compare your battle per minute speed. Are you just as fast? Slower? If so, by how much? Depending on your level and stats you could double your battle rate.

As an aside, I generally grind out an Eliminate a month. I'm a little behind that average now thanks to EvL and the build-up but that represents an average of 3 hours per day in the coli per Eliminate or 90 hours per Eliminate. You're better off buying from the AH.

I want to live in Theory. Everything works there.

Have you checked the Gem MP for Gene and Breed scrolls before buying an AH listing from me ending in 5g?
