they have Zaldia's saddle cloth in the black market even though it just came out in a promo a month ago? All I need is the ear bonnet ugh.

I'm a little confused with this promo? Maybe I'm just weird, but I'm probably not going to go ham in on this comp. I'll just focus on getting the Book of Monsters, GAs, and the other limited edition prizes instead.

I wish they would release it where we could choose which category we want... I want the butterflies.

As predicted

I thought they did at first... maybe not the coat but at least the category? I think it would make the Wanderer's Spirit a lot more popular.

apart from the usual Advent Calendar

"Hello!

This week, don't miss the opportunity to acquire a companion for your horse in the Companion Chest - from Darumas to Alebrije!

Alebrije is the hardest one to get - will you succeed?"

Most all of what I'm doing is blowing my 20,000 passes everyday (they refill every day) opening TCs for Lancelot on PreProd. Not only will this give a good collection of info on fragment range and observed average, but my main goal is to gather a body of data on the frequency each level is reached to get an idea of what the "jackpot" likelihood is. For example, of my current data (not yet complete and relatively small) 3% of attempts make it all the way to level 7, and 1% of attempts make it to the maximum of level 8. Things get fun on level 8, BTW.

My plan is to do this every day while preprod is open. Each day gives me a potential 100 new instances worth of TC data to record.

I also plan to do this on the next few preprods that include TCs to see if the frequency of each level is a constant or if it changes with each offering (as it seems to with the HOP jackpots). That could be valuable info and I don't think it yet exists in a quantified manner so far. At the very least, I've not seen anyone present data/results on it so far.

If this is actually upcoming and not just a glitch I’ll be so happy.

I’m surprised it says the CC contains Darumas. The last of the Darumas were rereleased in the CC this time last year, so they’ve already completed a cycle.
Hopefully it contains the last of the Alebrijes which are only available in the Brooch at the moment.

For anyone interested here’s the companions that haven’t been available in a CC yet.

Normals:
Ladybug

Specials:
Phoenix
Griffin
Blue/Green/Red/Purple Dragon

Alebrijes:
Armadilla
Armadillo
Cardenal
Cadenala
Delfin
Geca
Geco
Iguano
Mantarrayo
Mapacha
Mapache
Muercielaga
Puercoespin
Puercoespina

I’d also tentatively add the Weta and Orca to this list. Despite being a Divine gift the Grizzly was rereleased in a CC before.
Shika, who was a prize in a promo has been rereleased in the CC, but I don’t want to make a call on Namazu, Macaw, Ow, Hedgehog, Kyubiko, Axolotl, Skoll/Hati being in the CC in the near future.
The Ladybug will probably come out the same way the Bee did. In a chest full of other normal companions. So I’d say don’t expect it considering the content of the message screenshot.
