So since the Klotho nerf was announced I saw a lot of people being concerned that their money income might be screwed over, since they have a dozens characters or so and it's uncertain whenever or not the replacement system, Arks Missions, will be better or worse in that aspect.
So I decided to break the trailer apart, since the trailer always uses fast forwarded footage and its easy to miss all the details.
First of all opening the menu greets us to a new UI tracking our progress with Arks Missions:
Arks Missions are divided in 3 Categories
- Arks Road 2 Astrate Boogaloo
- Daily Arks Missions
- Weekly Arks Missions
in the Video we saw these daily Arks Missions:
So the first Arks Mission says "Clear any free Field, Arks Quest or Limites Quest on SH+".
The second one says "Finish any Daily Order" so this can be literally anything, doing your daily DO that are part of FQ or returning a fish worth 100k meseta, or returning a single non-100k meseta fish
And thats about it when it comes to Money. So far 70k Meseta for basically existing.
Next up are the more important Weekly Arks Missions:
First up we have "Grind a Weapon or a Unit once" you have a full week to do this one.
Then we have a "Clear any Endless Quest once" this is easy enough. Endless quests don't take too long to clear when you're trying to lose.
and the last Mission that gives Meseta is "Collect 350k Meseta via client orders" and that one is almost adorable.
Since the SH TACO remains, pairing that up with Harkotan TACO you already get 310k meseta via CO. If you follow that up with a Bal Rhodos DO you get way over 350k + you flag the daily orders for an additional 70k, but im getting ahead of myself.
So how do you do your Weekly routine currently?
You run 5 TA on VH+, of which one is on SH+ and then you run 3 XQ, one of which probably has a Bal Rhodos in it.
This will net you about 1,910,000 meseta + whatever Meseta dropped during XQ (usually a respectable amount)
Here is some math just to be sure:
200k + 250k + 300k + 60k + 250k + 200k + 400k + 250k = 1,910k
How will the weekly routine look like in EP6 after the Arks Missions system is implemented.
You run one TA on SH, then instead of a XQ for Rhodos you run Coast exploration to trigger the Daily Arks missions, ignoring all mobs in the process etc. Then you jump into an endless quest and play as badly as possible. This should give you some junk weapons/units you can use to grind.
This will net you about 2,030,000 meseta +/- pocket money dropped from quests.
Here is some math again:
250k + 60k + 250k + 42k + 28k + 700k + 420k + 280k = 2,030k
However as mentioned by Dark Mits players who ignored TACO's before have now easier access to money and this could cause a spike in prices on the market but I believe it won't be too bad and eventually things will balance out.
tl;dr
Your weekly money income isn't broken, it's just different and requires less work per character.
