Just another Circumference Garden Guide - Specifically for Pathfinders

Guides

I see a wave of people saying that CG has become less effective with the introduction of 8* Panels. So I'd like to highlight a class that I enjoy and show what he can do do here. With Mobius Day coming, I decided to share what I'll be doing. I'll be farming with my 8* Ranger (Pathfinder) in Circumfering Garden. There are a few things to note for this strat:

You must have the limited card 4 Warriors of Light.

You must have Pathfinder. (I don't see this working with any other jobs, might be wrong though)

You can only have two 4⋆ to have maximum difficulty for better multipliers. (max lvl 144)

This is only slightly true and not worth noting. The difference between two 4⋆ + two 3⋆ cards with 5 difficulty bombs and four 4⋆ cards with 4 difficulty bombs is insignificant. (2532 vs 2520 seeds respectively with 1m score). Meaning you can use whatever deck to maximize seeds gains.

Here's a video showing all of the possible scenarios that is explained through the whole post.

Auto Mode

I'll start off with my deck in my demonstration. Currently I am farming Wind/Dark seeds. So my deck consists of 4⋆ Wind Pupu, 4⋆ 4WoL, 3⋆ Artemis, and 3⋆ Hades. Keep in mind that the only important card is 4WoL. Everything else is for my seed needs. With this setup, I consistently get at least 200k on full auto. But what makes it beautiful is the frequent appearance of 500k and rare 1m scores. All in full auto and in Quick rents. This is for the busy people that only have time to tap "Quickstart". Like I said, only 4WoL is needed, so feel free to add whatever card for the seeds you need. It also worth noting that you need to be on Attack mode when you're in auto.

Manual Mode

This is for the people that want to fully maximize their gains. Now this part is very interesting since this isn't the typical "gotta focus 100% on the screen" type of manual. It's something I call "Mindless Manual." As the name implies, there's barely any thought on it. You simply tap the screen, glance if you have 11 wind orbs, then continue to whatever you were doing. It's perfect to those who are watching a video but wanna farm effectively at the same time. I made a specific segment on this because it's always a 1m score with barely any effort. Now, there's two kinds of Mindless Manual:

100% Mindless Manual - You literally just tap the screen and make sure you have 11 wind orbs. Once 11 wind orbs is obtained, continue to tap until round 3. --> (read Mindless Manual goal)

66% Auto and 33% Mindless Manual - For this you just start the battle and auto until round 3 finish your goal.

The goal during Mindless Manual is to generate 11 wind orbs (use 4WoL x2 and 1x Wind Pupu) by the first big wind monster on the 3rd round. When this is accomplished, just break all the remaining mobs and use 4WoL on them. Bam, easy 1m. If you are somehow struggling to get 1m, use/rent a Faith card since it significantly boosts your score. I have tested Wind Pupu + Faith + 4WoL crit literally gives 1m+ points on the last monster in 1 single action. Use that to your advantage.

Do keep in mind that you can actually get much higher score during a full, focused auto. This is just one way to do things fast to benefit from Mobius Day. If things aren't going your way like never critting, change it up. You don't have to be mindless just because this guide says so.

I decided to invest in Pathfinder first for this sole reason. Farming in CG extremely effectively will help me unlock other classes much faster in the long run. I figured that getting 1m would be considerably easy with the 150% bonus wind. I'm glad that my theory turned out to be true. Now I can farm effortlessly while I await for the much desired Gigantuars. Explorer was one of my favorite classes, so it's a bonus reason to max him for me. So if you're interested with Explorer before but was getting flamed earlier for liking such an awful class, show em what a Pathfinder can do!

Conclusion: I wanted to make a comprehensive guide on how to farm during Mobius Days since everyone is chugging those Elixirs. Hopefully this appeals to both hardcore max-min players and afk farmers. If you have all of the things I've listed, go for it! It doesn't matter if you wanna auto or manual, both are extremely efficient imo. All of these runs are less than 2 minutes long, extremely efficient for those who have been hoarding Elixirs! I myself will be afk farming CG during Mobius Day. I'm perfectly content with guaranteed 200k score, and even happier when RNG blesses it to a 1m score. 3 stamina for at least 16.5x and a potential 27.5x multiplier all in auto in less than 2 minutes? Count me in!

Hope this helps someone out. Let me know if you have any questions. If there's anything that confuses you or I need to improve/be specific on, let me know! Good luck farming!

PS: Pathfinder is my only 8 Panel job, so I can't confirm if this works for any other job. Sorry!

Man I don't have a pathfinder. What I do have is a thief and a dancer. You think they can pull this off?

I have no idea about Thief since I don't have one, but I tried it with a 4* Panel Etoile. On Auto it's possible to get the 500k threshold but it's very rare. But it really depends on your luck for reaching 200k. I'd give it a ~60% chance of going over 200k. He needs to break either water or earth mob and then use 4WoL on it. Frequently, he just kills them with 4WoL before they break and nets just below the 200k score.

On Manual however, it's much more manageable to get 500k, you're gonna depend on crits though. Never 1 mil. You'll always get 200k on Manual.

I honestly think Thief will be better for this since he has some bonus wind damage whereas Dancer doesn't.

Hmmm ok planning to max out thief as well for his weapon so I might give this a try, I tried my dancer and hes getting 200k on a stable basis but rare in reaching 500 k since my 4wol is not augmented

On thief bring fire limit break card. Focus on the water(fire limit break)+earth(4WOL) boss. IF thief can use earth then go use that earth limit break on wind boss

Search for "the secret" in the search feature and you will be fine with thief.

Thief.. Definitely yes. Averaging 200600k with the right setup/cards. Even at 4*.. Thief can get abt 200300k. All on auto mode.

Yup, autoing it with Thief. 250k on average. 5-star job, 2 4-star ST, 2 unusable water cards (for seeds).

I just posted a hint above in how to use 4x 4* cards, dont miss it.

1
fR0z3nS0u1•

I'm running it with low-than-max-level cards so as not to lower the difficulty :) No worries! Since I have no access to 4WoL (never bothered to buy FFRK packs) I just keep it red and aim for 200+.

Edit: oh d___. I just leveled up and now have 85 stamina to burn. Well, saved me a potion, I guess.......

Pathfinder bro, im doint this too, but thanks for some clarifications, sometimes i get less than 200K but now im not

Anyone can give me a tip or two how to get to 200k without Taunts? 4 panels*

1
Unf01dX•

Taunts are not important to hit the 200k score, only "mandatory" card is 4wol which can give you 300k+ in a single hit. But u will be fine if u have at least 2ST cards with 4* or even odin and ifrit with limit break unlocked (but the u must do it manually to maximize ur seeds gain).

Remember that the taunt cards is the best to pure farm seeds.

I was surprised at how awesome my Pathfinder does in CG — it got me a high score of 250k+, which was previously near-impossible to get for Rangers (at least for me).

I love my Pathfinder so much.

As an expert in CG i want to correct you in one thing: you dont need to have ONLY 2x 4* cards, you can easily buy another 4 star card in the abi shop as low as 5 abi tix (and you can sell it back later if needed) to maximize your seeds gain.

I my case, i always bough the taunt cards for 10 tix to have it maxed out from the beginning. But you can buy any 4* and then max seed it easy. For example, CG itself drops a lot of earth cards that can be used to skillseed one 4* earth card (asmo is recommended).

Remember that you dont need to have its abilities maxed out because it is irrelevant for seed farming.
