Does that 5 mil gil bonus go for the whole party for that run, just 1 person or randomly people in a run?

By that person you mean the person who hit the box then?

Guess I can keep keeping my other guys waiting outside for speed

Pretty sure whoever traded orb. Whichever mule I had inside got the gil. I only take one in at a time.

Well, I was doing;

12345
67890

and getting *** wrecked.

Now, I've started opening them furthest away possible from the previous open, something like;

17048
35926

Getting much better results. (disclaimer, it's just random dumb luck, but I'm rolling with it for now.) You can still hit a mimic 1/1 no matter what strat you use.

*also, it's important to remember, I'm using many more orbs than an average person. You only get to see a couple "wins" and not dozens of fails.

Last month got lucky and obtained an Annointed Kalasiris. This month, mars orb opened with a mimic right off the bat, followed by a venus orb that dropped T4 Reisenjima garbage on a loud thud:

I'm using the "heart of the cards" method and going off gut instinct to assure prizes, doing pretty good so far.

I do a counter-clockwise twirl in my chair while taking a sip of beer before every chest I open. I've noticed that I only sometimes get a mimic this way. ymmv

I found out if I never click on the chests I'll never get a mimic.

You had it already and it went to the floor or you just didn't want it?

No, I wouldn't own/wear/use that garbage. It fell to me since I forgot to party though QQ

I mean yeah, if someone is dumb enough willing to buy something like that, they will drop everything and move their *** to go get it.

Ejiin has a video of beating it but there it seems like it doesn't grant any extra drops. So if you're not getting and thud/loud thud then there's probably no point in putting in the effort to kill the mimic.

There is no reason to kill the box.

Either you get a loud thud and you exit, or you get no loud thud and a mimic, which means you kill it for nothing.
