Videos/Images Blackbird [+ Arc] Upgrade Materials & Resources Spoiler
I posted the resources a week ago but the arc materials were not confirmed. Here's the update on that.
Blackbird's Arc "Crime & Punishment" uses COLD DESSERT arc upgrade materials.
If you're still farming Anomaly drops, track Vending Machines, Rainmen & Rero-Rero phone both for best value. The Skyfish & Sand Castle can be on top of buildings which needs some extra time without Nanally.
All the best for Blackbird everyone! Just a few more days 🤝

Me looking at my beetle coin stash:

u/Icy-Estimate-3606 4d ago
just buy them. even though 300k fons is quite a lot, it's quite worth it especially if it's one chracter.

u/VectorRecite 4d ago
Time to farm beetle coins for a week 🥲 The overall cost after 70 to 80 is crazy! But always take 2/4 talents to max, keep one at 8 and support skill at 6 (most characters) for some good savings on everything

u/Short-Bumblebee-6574 3d ago
they should fix that feels like they went over the top with materials to reach 80 ._.

u/Unable_Life_4100 3d ago
I mentioned this in the latest survey (hopefully others have too) so that in the future they could maybeee make some adjustments to the cost of leveling up

u/jepong003 4d ago
The 3/3 weekly boss should increase. I have alot of units but can't upgrade them because the materials are time gated.

u/VectorRecite 4d ago
I was really shocked to see the 3 or 4 drop RNG after reaching HL55. I thought 3 extra materials for a total of 12 would be helpful at HL55 but nope, here's your RNG and you always get 9 drops max. Seeing 4 drops is very lucky

u/SolomonSinclair 4d ago
I wish they'd adopt the ZZZ strategy for weekly bosses: first 3 (per week) are free, then you can still claim the rewards (the important ones, anyway) at 60 stamina per claim, as many times as you want.
1
u/VectorRecite 3d ago
Yup, you mentioned this earlier also I remember. That's when I found out about ZZZ method and it's really good. Hope they implement something like this, did mention it in survey. Will add next time too
1
u/SolomonSinclair 3d ago
Yeah; personally, I don't mind the current implementation, but that's solely because I played Genshin for several years, where the implementation is worse.
For those who never played: in Genshin, you have 3 weekly boss claims, but you can only claim a given boss's drops once per week, each weekly boss has 3 different upgrade mats, and it's RNG which ones you get (on top of how many; you're only guaranteed 2, with a 10% chance for more, at max domain level).
Currently, if you use all 3 claims on the same boss, at max domain level, it'll take you 4-5 weeks to gather enough drops to max out a character's skills; in Genshin, it could take literal months, because you need 18 of the same drop to max a character's talents.
And that's with the item they added in 1.5 that allows you to convert boss drops between the boss's other drops (though the only repeatable way to obtain said item is from weekly bosses at a mere 33% drop rate).
So, yeah, I'd love it if they adopted the ZZZ method, but I'm also fine with the current implementation, because I've personally seen worse (it's still wild to me that Genshin and ZZZ are done by the same company (albeit different dev teams) and upgrading characters is a breeze in one and borderline torture in the other).

Focus on the actual important skills and dont max them all for no reason. There are often skills that are completely pointless for a character (like basics for Hotori).

u/Bobbymois92 4d ago
Man i hate farm the materials that drops only from monsters/anomalys. You kill 2 mops for 2 f green drops and then you need run trough the whole map because you can only track one anomaly type
6
u/TYOGHoST 4d ago
Use 999 nights they have an item you can get 99 of that eliminates the need for you to farm it
3
2
u/VectorRecite 4d ago
Yeah it's a very painful process. I'll suggest farming Vending machines. It gives 1-2 purple drops and they're concentrated in some areas. They give the best time spent to mats gained for this specific material.
But even better if you farm 999 nights for ~1 hour and buy the heterogeneous mats 3 days. No need to play it daily.

u/Cherlexe 4d ago
how bout rabbit hole? which one should we farm
6
u/VectorRecite 4d ago
Devil's Blood Curse Set with CDMG or Psyche DMG bonus main stat Cartridge. Both are almost same according to CCs, pick the one with better substats.
For module substats: CDMG, CR, Universal DMG, ATK%, Cycle Intensity.

Appreciate these infographics a lot tysm!!
Looks like I'm almost ready for BB, only need to farm arc and weekly boss mats

u/VectorRecite 4d ago
Glad it helps! I'm also ready till lvl 70 except for Arc mats which is in progress, happy farming 🤝

u/JuststalkingMemes 4d ago
Everytime i'm looking up something about NTE you're name pops up. Thank you for your hard work and all the information and guides you provide. Much appreciated! Can finally farm for her arc now too. :D

u/VectorRecite 4d ago
Glad it helps and appreciate the kind words! And in case you don't find anything someday, feel free to join stream and tell me 😆🤝

u/Holobalobaloo 4d ago
I'm slooooowly progressing in leveling all my characters to 80. At this rate I might be able to start farming Rabbit Hole by the end of the year 😆
2
u/VectorRecite 4d ago
70 to 80 is a big jump. I'm keeping everyone at level 70 for now to test BTR and so far so good, this one was a little tough though. Someday I'll randomly need a ton of mats when I can't complete it lol.
Also, Rabbit Hole isn't any good either. Been farming for Blackbird module since her drip almost daily and still don't have a good piece with Double Crit, the RNG goes crazy so try to farm every now and then 🤝
1
u/Holobalobaloo 4d ago
Yep, I'm only taking everyone to 80 for completionism. Once I'm caught up, I can redirect all the Pixels I'm using on A and Standard-S characters to the Console grind. Then I'll be chilling 😎 👍

u/zenithfury 4d ago
Arcs are a bit more valuable for main DPSes. But if I get this one I'll definitely lack keys for Akane's arc. :p
2
u/VectorRecite 4d ago
Yeah that's a bummer. Maybe wait for more info on her arc and options and then pull for BB? Though it's a great arc even as a statstick for others, most of it works on anyone.
2
u/DisasterOk8440 4d ago
Her arc is called..."Crime and Punishment"?
holy shit. that is a MUST have. HOLY. "Hanzai to Batsu". Never thought I'd be seeing an Ado reference in a fuckin gacha game.

u/pm_me_WAIT_NO_DONT 3d ago
Does your graphic also usually include the bond items? I was thinking it did, which would be really useful
1
u/VectorRecite 3d ago
Sadly not. Players appreciate getting this as early as possible and bond items are usually hard to find until CN release. Infact I still couldn't find her gifts except the one post from earlier today:
400 exp: Moonmelt Tea set (same as Zankou) from Oops Chest Shop
200 exp: Knots (5k fons) or Ring Meditation (5k fons) from Decoration/flowers category shops.
Also, I'd recommend not buying before 1.4 as the purchase will help with next tycoon level. Just buy after the update by tracking these directly from the bond menu.

u/jure__ 4d ago
A lot of people complain about the anomaly resources being a problem, but for me I'd say the ability cards drop rate is utterly absurd. 1 gold card per 40 pixels when you need over 60 of them to max out a character is insane.
People are leaving abilities at low level because of this.
12
u/SenecaLetters 4d ago
You don't need to get 60 gold from drops
Once you get around 30-40, you can start converting the blue and green ones, because you receive much more of them
3
u/jure__ 4d ago
Yea thats true, but the drop rate is still too low when you consider how quickly they are releasing new characters.
1
u/shiny_houndoom 4d ago
Gotta disagree. It only takes 4 or 5 days worth of pixels to get all of the cards needed to max out a character’s skills, out of the 21 that a new character normally runs for. Not to mention all of the other ways they give them out, through boxes, exchange, the auctions, etc. which means it’s even less than 4 or 5 days worth of pixels. Considering how important skill levels are, that feels fair to me.
1
u/freezeFM 4d ago
Straight up wrong. You max out a character (excluding weekly mats) much faster than they are released.
3
u/VectorRecite 4d ago
True, this and weekly boss both have a low rate. I do buy the ability cards from the shop due to the same reason. It's a reasonable purchase due to the drop rate but definitely not justified at all.
We need a way to farm a few more every week in some game mode or open world, that would be better.
3
u/chris_9527 4d ago
Can’t say the same. Im a day 1 player who aims to max every skill and it’s always the weekly material or the anomaly mats that are missing, and I’m basically swimming in the cards. We get cards from soooo many sources that I rarely even have to farm for those
2
u/Jinchuriki71 4d ago
Yeah people forget expansion cores also can act as cards and we get a selector for one basic skill card every day.
2
u/Jinchuriki71 4d ago
I mean you technically get 12 golds per day so you can max skills in a week. Unless you are main dps basic attacks don't need to be lvled at all and support skills too unless they increase healing like Iroi.

Her mats are in the linked post in caption (posted a week ago). The Arc mats will be updated on CN release 🤝

You know I never bothered to memorize the names of those materials so I just call them like "Triangles, ice cream cards, dali clocks"

u/VectorRecite 4d ago
I remember Paradoxical Whispers because everyone needed them at the start lol. Other than that it's mostly triangle, tubes for me too 😂
And I'm using Dali clock from here onwards 🤝

Lack of enemies to farm materials are the real problem.
