DNC BRD 2box.
Killed all the acucex in first area, got a #A key that let me progress into other areas, but no NMs.
2 chests dropped. One containing the #A key mentioned above, another containing 100 gall.
Ended up with a total of 2.5k gall. at the end of it. I ran around for the last 5 minutes or so trying to see if I could find something that wasn't a normal monster but found nothing.
NPC is offering to upgrade an empy +2 piece. Requirements
+1 piece
10k gallimafury
ra'kaz sapphire (15k gall.)
Can you get sapphires inside instead of spending the gall.? Assuming you can't/only drop from bosses (which might be hard to pop solo), it's about ~10 runs solo to get a piece done (and that is just for +2!!). Not terrible but that is quite a grind if you're gonna do many pieces. Compare to Omen where you can get enough cards to upgrade to +2 in 3 runs or less for all pieces.
Can also buy an old case for 80k (!!) gall. Seems like a lot. Those are the things that contain earrings, correct?
2 box and messing around got me 2.5k as mentioned, an optimized group can probably get close to 10k on a run. So +2's should be relatively smooth to farm up currency for.
Going on the respective job 1 time seems to unlock the ability to reforge that job's armor (think dyna D).
