Empress Reset Ticket
Does anybody know whether the Empress reset ticket from Kritias coin shop resets the kill counter entirely, thus allowing you to enter (twice) more, or does it allow you to enter just (once) more (as in one additional entry?)
I was wondering because there are additional entry tickets for certain bosses, and reset tickets for other bosses. So I was wondering which of the two applied with Kritias reset tickets (specifically regarding empress.)
Thanks in advance for your answers

@Axnslicer: Perfect, thanks!
[quote=whiteforce18]Regarding this method, (since I have yet to even start doing Kritias... I know, just been lazy ) would it work essentially just farming for like 2-3 weeks and then opening like you said? Or is there like a limit to how many you can open/do in one sitting? I am so lost haha (I will be doing these quests on my NW post revamp, not going to bother on any other chars just yet!)[/quote]
You can save pretty much until whenever, I recently just used a potion for a 200k anti-magic run. The longer you save, the less the 2 coin sunk cost for the AMP Entropy hurts your profits. But yeah, every 2-3 weeks is usually enough.
[quote=Jyenna]@Axnslicer: i'm not doing the bosses for profit really, i just need something to do on maple haha
so would you just recommend taking Hmag, cvel, queen, and clown resets every week? maybe with extra coins i'll do empress resets too if i can afford it[/quote]
Yes, those would be the 4 most profitable, though Queen is kind of sparse with Thief and Warrior hats. I guess if you have enough drop rate to consistently get 4+ capes then Empress might be better, but I went on 6x drop and got 1 cape so I gave up.
[quote=Jyenna]here's a little trick! (and it works fantastically) idk if everybody knows it but it's what i read somewhere
do the dailies (the first 4) whenever you can. this yields 3 600 stones, and 1 1200 stone.
now DO NOT use them up immediately. save them up!
maybe.. once a week, spend 1400 anti-magic (2 coins) on an AMP entropy which gives you a 1.5x anti-magic boost for 1 hour.
so let's say.. on WEDNESDAY night, you finished your wednesday daily.
buy an AMP entropy, pop it, and THEN open up all your anti-magic stones. instead of 600 you get 900 from the small ones, and 1800 instead of 1200 from the big ones.
you make your invested 1400 anti-magic back, AND get bonus.
for a week that's 21x900,7x1800 (31500-1400 = 30100) --> 43 coins
compared to the usual 21x600,7x1200 (21000) --> 30 coins
13 extra coins. and counting the anti-magic you pick up from normal mobs you're looking at about 46-48 coins a week from dailies (which take like 20 minutes or less per day, really)
so you're looking at 4 resets of your choice (hard mag, vel, clown, queen) etc[/quote]

[quote=Jyenna]@Doutei: ohh so it does reset the kill counter from 2-->0
so for example.. thursday i make a key, wait for reset
thursday after midnight --> 1 kill, make another key
friday --> 1 kill with key from thursday, make another key, use reset ticket --> 1 more kill with key from today
saturday --> make key, kill
that's 4 kills right?[/quote]
Yes. You can do Empress 4 times a week using the Kritias reset ticket. I was doing that myself, then stopped bothering because there wasn't enough profit for it to be worth the effort. I was seriously making more selling Empress soul service than from all the other Empress drops combined.
Reset is midnight PST, so I get what you're saying, but the phrasing was kind of awkward.

That's 3 kills, thurs after midnight and friday are the same day xD
@Jyenna: thats what i did for 3 kills in one week.

[quote=Harbors]@Jyenna: If I might ask, how long does it take you to farm enough coins for 1 cra reset? Doesn't seem worth it to me.[/quote]

[quote=Jyenna]i do that as well (just do emp right after midnight with newly made key) but i was wondering if it was possible to do emp 4 times in one week instead of 2 or 3. :[
oh well, hard magnus / CRA reset tickets are fine too, considering you can get 40 kritias coins or more per week with dailies[/quote]
you can since it resets 2 to 0 for the week. so u can enter 2 more times after the first 2. but u'll still need to wait till the next day when u can create the key again to go in for those two. so hypothetically, 6 entries /week.
[quote=Doutei]i find it easier to just save the entry-requirement item for one day, and after midnight go in for empress and make another key after u finish the first emp.
10-15mins for double empress if u skip v2s[/quote]

[quote=Harbors]Reset tickets allow you back into the map before/with the boss. They all operate the same way. So you get to go in 2 time in one day rather than one.[/quote]
arghh okay, so it's not worth getting the emp reset ticket then
i think i'll just get the CRA ones instead then
