Stream of Mana Day 20 (Echoes of Mana)

With the Coffer Chaos daily stages (that only actually open up every other day) open once again, we grind through them to get enough event points to get the last knitwit from the shop. All that's left are the experience tomes, and we get a few of them as well. There are also the unlimited Lucre and Altena Alloy exchanges we can do with the High Level Event Points. It's only as of writing this description that I realize that we actually do need a lot of the Altena Alloy. So perhaps that will be a grinding target.

With the out of the way, I attempt to solo the Coffer Chaos (High Level Co-op) stage, and I manage to beat it on my second try. Sure, I beat it with only four seconds to spare, giving me a C rank, but it doesn't matter, because we got the S rank from actual co-op already, and that mission gives us an extra 500 crystals.

On the story front, I managed to clear out chapter 4 Very Hard, but still missing a two missions, just like on Chapter 3. Perhaps tomorrow I might get those missing missions from Chapter 3, and definitely will work on Chapter 5.

We pull enough harvests to reach pity on the Riesz and Duran banner. I'll need to decide which unit to give the freebie to. At the moment, I'm leaning towards bumping Riesz up to +4 rather than Duran to +3

Those pulls give us lots of units to clean up and upgrade, and we even bump Duran up to five stars. It also gives me fodder to ascend some One Star Knitwits up to Three Stars, to work towards finishing the mission to ascend 20 of them. It also gives a bunch of memory gems to clean up and unleash.

With that out of the way, I go back to Twilwool Tower to make some more progress. Ebon Knight turns into a glitchy mess on floor 60, causing me to get a bad time rank. Floor 61-62 has me lose Sumo in the middle of healing, also blocking me from 3 stars. However, I redeem myself on floor 63-64, and get all three stars. I then choose to end the stream on that positive note.

Echoes of Mana calls back to the Mana games we all know and love:
Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana, Trials of Mana, Legend of Mana, Sword of Mana, Adventures of Mana, and the other Mana games that are too numerous to list.

The plan is to stream this nightly, Pacific time. I don't have a firm schedule yet. Releases will be on top of my other releases. This one is later than usual, but I'm shooting for 3PM PDT daily.

As with Date A Live previously, I'm attempting to do a "team whaling" approach. Starting in May, I will be adding the following amount of money each money:
$20 per month of my money, no strings attached.
$20 per month matching on-stream donations.
1/2 of all money gained from using my referral links.

Release Schedule:
Noon PDT:
Sunday and Monday: Date A Live Spirit Pledge backlog
Tuesday and Thursday: Heart of the Jedi
Wednesday and Friday: The Spirit Engine 2
Saturday: Super Robot Wars 2

3PM PDT:
Daily: Echoes of Mana
This release schedule will slip once we're caught up on story and don't have events to grind. At the start though, we have lots to do.
