The mission system is super helpful for people who want prysma. Unfortunately, it's not a renewable source like Gauntlet and the current version of Colosseum (... sorta... technically... kinda...) are, but the mission system does offer a huge amount of prysma.

F2Ps do have to rely a little more on luck and patience.

Joining chainchronicleforum.net and lurking in threads helped me a ton. There are great guides on there, and if you're someone who doesn't mind looking at math and data before making decisions, then you're gonna love the math and data threads. People have compiled data on pull rates, for example, and it actually seems pretty reliable because even though there's a bit of reporting bias, 1) there's actually a LOT of data (I'm not talking about just 10 or 20 pulls or something; I'm talking about 500+, sometimes 1000+), and 2) as long as everyone reports ALL of their pulls and doesn't cherry-pick which pulls to report, the data is pretty much okay. (And the people who get unlucky DO tend to report their pulls as well.)

I'm sure chain-chronicle-forum.com is a great place, too, but I don't have time to lurk there as well lol

Beyond that, I don't really have anything else to say. Except for this:

It is best to use when there are several recruits offer and not just one. You're chances are signicantly increase because of this.

[snip] Disagree. The rates depend entirely on Gumi. The only 5* in Challenge Recruit right now is Scherazard, and she's got an abnormally high drop rate. (I think people said that in JPCC, the recruit rate for 5*s is 1.7% or something low like that, but that's clearly not the case for Scherazard in GCC.) Last month, we had Deed, Nina, and Mefulnash in Challenge Recruit, but the overall 5* rate was as high as Scherazard's rate.
