Background Battling doesn't work in Side Story. WHY?

Discussion

With one of the most gold efficient side stories to farm going on right now, it seems like an odd exclusion from SG on not having Side Story allowed in Background Battling. Theey are functionally the same as adventure, so I doubt there was a technical reason to exclude it.

It is similar but for sure it would be even more work to implement this when atm the background farms are permanent and sidestories are not.

I'm actually surprised they managed to pull this big patch with some technical things off so smoothly on first look.

Eventually they can add sidestories to background battling but I'm happy for now.

Why is the Episode 1 epilogue considered a side story? It's also permanent, no?

Not trying to defend them, but I think they interpreted UH as "unlockable" after beating Episode 1. So not technically permanent, but it becomes available forever after you unlock it. Whereas Adventure absolutely is permanent.

That does kind of make sense. Hopefully it gets added or changed though. It's a very common farming spot.

If you refer to how to do it and where to press the button, just do the usual repeat battle, and you'll see minimize button on the repeat battle window.

Where is background battling? Hunt, Spirit altar or Adventure (not Ep1 Epilogue though).

Basically, you can get a lot of bonus currency in the stage 2 area coz of artifact bonuses. That along with earning penguins that you can sell for gold adds up to 60k+ per 20 energy hard run. Compared to ~36K for hunts (+ gear drops and reforge materials)
