I'm a returning player and need all the guidance I can get. I've capped out my Unity Accolades, but don't know how to spend them. Anyone have any tips for me?

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.

Can't you also buy SP Gobbiedial Keys with them?

99% of the time getting your 6 keys is completely worthless but yeah, if you're the scratchoff kind of person.

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?

If you’re feeling lucky during the increased equipment campaign you can buy the SP gobbie keys.

Yup, npcing 10,000 prize powder............

Unity, well the ones you need. Or you spam something other people actually buy, whichever sells on your server. Centurio maybe.

Off the top of my head that is used on a variety of jobs:

Emperor Arthro for Sailfi Belt +1

Sovereign Behemoth for Loricate Torque +1 / Defending Ring

Carousing Celine for Odnowa Earring +1


There is probably a lot more, but that should be a good starting point. Ultimately depends on what jobs you're using too.

When I'm capped Unity I turn in an item(s) to upgrade even if I have no intention of upgrading it at the moment. 30k accolades to augment a single piece of unity gear. Probably one of the better uses imo.

I'm a DRK for my main, but also trying out THF once I get it to 99. As for my DRK I have the full Flamma+2 gear and a Triska Scythe+1

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:

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.

That fight is crazy douchey though for an average soloer

Picking a viable and valuable target can be difficult

(it also has 8 unity items you have to hold or keep dropping!)

it is, which is why I mentioned that he can use AATT for some assistance. You can still get wiped out, even I lose a few times here and there, but it's the best option solo IMHO

Just buy keys you might get 100m+ items. The other takes too long even with addon

I mean, it's a little annoying, but it takes less than 5 minutes without any addons if you're able to temporarily shuffle some of your gear to satchel/sack/case so it doesn't take 20 trips.

youre talkin to people who run full satchel/sack/case/wardrobes1-8 because they need to have S-tier gear for every situation for 15+ jobs. Of course "it takes forever even with addon" when you have to keep running to the NPC after every 5 shields / stacks of powder.

I usually just keep them in coffers until I get to the Reclaimer and pop them.

Have always heard adoulin dial campaign affects SP gobbie dial keys. Where does it say it doesn't?

Adoulin Dial Campaign

A brand new dial will added to the Goblin Mystery Box for the duration of the campaign.
The Adoulin dial is usable once per Earth day and provides a variety of rewards specific to Seekers of Adoulin content, such as Skirmish stones and airlixirs from Delve.
Further, the chance of receiving equipment from the SP dial will be increased.
* The Adoulin dial is completely free to use.
* At least forty-five days must have passed since character creation to be eligible to use the Goblin Mystery Box.

I guess he is saying "SP dial" is different to SP key (never seen testing on this personally however)

Consensus is that keys are already pulling from the restricted pool, so campaign does nothing for them.

The Monthly for the SP Dial Spins gives credit for Keys without saying so, would think the Campaign does as well. Unless I see something concrete I'll keep stacking them. Gives me an excuse not to do something until I have to, which is definitely my speed.

As for the OP, once they put the weekly cap, I stopped the Prize Powder spam and started taking Keys and rolling the dice.

SP Keys naturally pull from a superior pool to the 50-point box (the SP dial), and the Campaign upgrades the 50-point box open to be as good as SP keys. It doesn't do anything for the keys themselves.
