Well, it sucks, but you can get the million (once a week) from hating your life buying and npcing prize powder
If you've done that once, or aren't interested in it, then accolades are largely useless. You can get 10 of your best unity mats but thats worth maybe 300k every other week.
Only other thing is actually use them doing unity.
So basically buy out all the prize powder and NPC it?
As far as actually doing Unity, is there anything in particular I should be popping?
The prices vary per server, but here's a quick rundown on how to find out what NM you should spend your Accolades on (or at least what I do):
1. On the left sidebar of this website, under the section
Rewards, click
Unity.
2. At the top of the page, filter by
Price (with highest at the top). Note: this is the price for a single, as there is no view for a stack price.
3. Click on the item with a higher single value.
4. Click the
Stack link to see the cost of 12
----If the value of stack price is lucrative to you, and you can kill the NM, you have your answer.
----If the value of the stack price is not worth the effort, repeat steps until you find a Unity NM with mats worth selling.
Things to keep in mind:
How
many stacks are in stock (if the stock is low, you can get paid faster. Conversely, if there's a lot in stock, you may have to undercut your sales to get paid)
How
fast is a particular stack selling (look at how many times a day it sells for on your server. Yeah Garbage Gel might be lucrative, but if people aren't buying it frequently, it's not giving you anything you need for your time. Mhyuufya's Beaks sell like crazy, but they are dirt cheap, so may not even be worth bothering. Also funny, sometimes singles sell for like half of a stack, so you can work that some if you care to sell individual mats)
How
difficult is the NM that drops the mat (i.e. Tolba Shells are always high-selling mats, but that NM is a PITA and isn't worth farming unless it's during a campaign with a party of people, and then save and sell later to cash out)
Hint:
Ethereal Incense is usually always a winner, but they might be problematic for you solo. Can cheese it with AATT since he opens with ES Sleepga 2, giving you a couple minutes to zerg the 4 NMs down
edit: I should also mention that on occasion, there's an item that sells for very low as a single, but the stack price is pretty good. Usually it's a 119-122 NM that's pretty weak and everyone forgot about. I remember back when Unity Augments came out, there were like no Samantha's Vines in stock, because everyone was upgrading Metamorph Rings. Ended up farming about 3 stacks or so off of 99 accolades, and made a decent penny, since there was supply and I could basically set the price back up to what it was before it was undercut.
