It is best to use when there are several recruits offer and not just one. Also going to have to disagree. It doesn't take a long time to get 2000 Arcana Coins. For one thing, the 5-AP quest "The Apprentice Knights" is the best way to accumulate coins and enhancer cards for very little AP and time. And you can use 5 Fortune Rings to get 2000 Coins.

Also, Scherazard being the only recruit for like, another month makes it more worth it. Cash her in when you have her/maxed her out, and use those coins for items you need! That way you don't spend Prysma on revivals and refilling AP!

I mean, this is a strategy RPG game, no? I have a strategy that makes good use of the Challenge Recruit. Ring Recruits are the key to my being able to play almost as many hours as I want and can.

So. Scherazard, as I mentioned, unlike our last recruits, is the ONLY recruit for now and she lasts for TWO months. I maxed her 2 weeks ago so... I don't have to worry about saving those Fortune Rings for any other recruit! Not until January.

So here's my current strategy to making use of the Challenge Recruit. This should help you get through the map! It's not too hard to play for free when you have Fortune Rings at your disposal. You can use them on Enhancers to level up your team members in a jiff, or more importantly, get Stamina and Revival Fruit!

Yes, Prysma gets harder to accumulate as you go on... the game tosses you a bunch at first, but then you really work for it. '''So never use Prysma on reviving in battle or refilling AP, if you can help it. '''Use the fruits!

So here's the strategy.

1.) When you're done recruiting Sherazard.... Save up 2000 Arcana Coins, and draw a Challenge Recruit. If it's a card you don't need, or if it's Scherazard and you don't need/want her, sell her.

Scherazard and other 5*'s are worth 20 Fortune Rings each.

2.) Spend 10 Fortune Rings on 2 Revival Fruits, and 10 Fortune Rings on 2 Stamina Fruit. This ensures you spend NO precious Prysma on AP restoration or party revival. 

Being where I'm at the in the game, I need revivals and AP restorations quite often (maybe I just suck...). Where you're at in the game, you might spend them on Arcana Coins for Normal Recruits, or Enhancer Cards for some quick leveling.

3.) By spending Fortune Rings on Revival and Stamina Fruits, you are maintaining the amount of Prysma you've managed to save up, little by little, and can use it on what really matters to you - recruits.

4.) Restore AP as needed, and revive your party as necessary, and keep plowing through the quests! Buy 15 Ring, Level III Enhancers when one of your characters needs to pick up the pace and get some level-ups.

5.) Lather, rinse and repeat. When you have 8 AP and you need 14 for the quest you're working on -- DON'T use that Stamina Fruit just yet! Go use that up on quests in the Holy Kingdom -- I suggest the Holy Capital, because "The Apprentice Knights" rewards either 200 Arcana Coins and/or one or more knights or knight enhancer cards. And every little bit helps.

That quest guarantees success either way -- you'll either get a decent sum of Coins to help you save up, or you get some cards to boost up your knight(s) a little more.

Then, when your AP hits like, 3 or below (even at 3 I might wait and do the Vice Capital quest for 4 AP), use the Stamina Fruit and plow on!

The way I apply my strategy right now is with a team of all archers, in the Holy Capital. I'm working toward unlocking Onette in the Ranger's Guild Mission, and earning Arcana Coins and Knight Enhancers -- which I use on my lvl 44 Leaho that I am trying to max, slowly but surely.

Then cash in my coins, cash in my Scherazard, get some fruits, or, if I'm stocked up (usually, at this time, I am not), I will get a 3-Star Knight Enhancer for Leaho. Then I'll use a Stamina Fruit, and keep on truckin' until I'm low on AP again.

A few more tips: Always remember to send and receive AP, to and from your friends, every day. It's like a bonus Stamina Fruit once a day! More time to play and train!

Also, keep track of your Rank Progress bar. If you're super close to leveling up, don't use any Stamina Fruit -- it's a waste, because your stamina refills, as you know, as soon as you Rank Up.
