Personally, I also like and prefer to grind in lower level areas, especially Sandswept, Bamboo Falls, and Blooming Grove. And sometimes the Forgotten Cave.

It probably has nothing to do with data and has more nuance than simply time spent per battle vs. drop rate but...

I take it because I utilise a team with a glass cannon build, bosses are notably disruptive, especially the ones that both melee in Rainsong, the specific elements of the bosses in Crystal Pools (Shadow and Water), and this also goes for the Rocs in the Roost.

My team could probably have an easier time having a bit less Strength and more Vitality, and I should have balanced the Elements but I'm only really willing to do the former right now.

I do wonder how much relevance 'time spent per battle' and 'how easy is it to keep a streak/build Breath' could or would factor into this data but there's probably too many variables to begin with.

sorry for the flood, this is several days worth of records

Someone added false reports just to increase its stats (10+ lines of 500 battles / 50 chests using different real usernames), that's why I locked the spreadsheet.

@Maki
Wow thanks for letting me know! And thanks for your hard work every year :)

Updated to here!

Strange Chests have higher drop rates in higher venues (Rainsong Jungle+), possible 3 times higher if "Rare" = 1% and "Scarce" = 3% (Coliseum Drop Rates). Also, Crystal Pools and Rainsong Jungle have 16 regular monsters and 6 NotN monsters, while most of the venues have 26+ regular monsters and 5-6 NotN monsters.
