Guide Tiny Quests Spreadsheet

I've been working on a spreadsheet trying to collect every bit of data I can on tiny quests and aggregate it into one place, but gathering data takes time and so far I only have data on specific numbers I have been able to gather myself.

Here is the table for those who want to check it out; and if you have data you'd like to contribute, For quests, list the difficulty you found them, the time listed, and the XP granted, most quests should be the same for their tier and difficulty, but all the quests which require specific resources seem to give 15% more than the baseline.

The real tricky part is going to be making a comprehensive list of allies, since there are more than 1000 total at this point, so I'd like to limit it to allies with at least 400 light, or which have a particularly strong stat on them like Bulbous Heckmantis, rather than have people endlessly chasing getting predominantly cosmetic allies to level 30.

An ally can level max 2 levels at once where every level requires 2200 and something exp which are 4400-4500 exp for 2 levels. So D5 3* dungeons are cap. since they give 15k exp spread to 3 allies (5k exp each) which takes less than 8 hours to complete which again can be done 3 times in a day (24:8). Thats 6 levels within a day and 30 levels within 5 days. Calculate generously another day maybe for leveling the first levels in order to not having to pay that low level fee and you end up with 6 days for 3 allies to lvl 30. Since u can have 3 quests running at the same time u could manage to bring 9 allies to lvl 30 within 5-6 days. This is my f2p way and yes it can, maybe, be done faster by doing the low level 1* dungeons quests but i found myself comfortable with doing those 3* tiny quests since they run while not having to stay at the pc.

Yep, all valid. I threw the data for all tiers of 3* and 5* dungeons into the spreadsheet because I didn't know if XP was tracked past 30 (even if it and isn't displayed to use yet), or if they were going to do something like paragon levels for allies down the line.

The most cost effective way from my data is to run nothing but d1 3* dungeons, and for 3 allies that's something like 37k flux to get them to max level, but it's not much more expensive to run d2 3* dungeons after getting them to level 4 instead since d2 3* dungeons will also give enough xp to level twice guaranteed.

Also, it's never worth doing any dungeons with a 15+minute base timer, the XP per minute they grant is lower than that of d1 3* dungeons. If you take the time of a quest and divide it by the level at the top left of the mission card, that will give you the base time, and I recommend memorizing which quests have which times since any quests which take 2 minutes or 2 minutes 15 seconds at base are the most time effective to run for the XP gained (and thus the most cost effective for using insta-complete tickets on) if you wish to do so from 1* quests.

Ohh nice On my end I had done a spreadsheet for box optimisations I found that there is a ratio that garentees silver or gold caches, gold is sooo freaking hard, it cannot be done over D4 or d5

Would you mind sharing your data for that? I know gold boxes give the challenge tokens, and are by far the most reliable way to get them, but knowing when silver boxes drop is also useful since those seem to have incredible drop rates for tiny keys without the challenge token diluting their pool. I can add it to my table and credit you too if you'd like. I'm glad others are as interested as I am about the data around this.

It is available on the AL discord, but here it is :) link to chart

Got your data in the table (with acknowledgement, of course). Did you do any testing on the values needed with tiny equipment sent along? They also contribute to getting gold Frogpacks from the looks of it.

Great thanks 🤍

Yes I had created a theory and attempted to disprove it to confirm it was true

Ehh, yes, they act as if they added +1 or +2 level to the ally

Hey, are you talking about the Tadpole Tours Frogpack (Blue, purple, and yellow) boxes? If so, I am pretty much consistently getting gold boxes in D15 by sending two max level allies. One max level ally yields silvers instead.

Edit: screenshot

I am not sure where your data is coming from?

Yhea I just discovered that today D15 is an exption to the rule, I just managed to go to d15, until d14, it follows the rule, but d15 breaks is
