GBF Renown Farming

--How much Renown do I get per week? aka How to hit the weekly Renown cap--

Generally, when people farm SR and R character Renown bonuses, they use 2SR + 1R. This is to help mitigate the weakness of R characters and to make the R and SR bonuses (roughly) the same. I'm assuming this setup.

-Summary-

Do all available runs of the Hard versions of Primals every day. You have to use your 2SR + R team to complete 12 out of the 18 battles to hit bonus caps. Practically, this means you can destroy 2 of the 6 Primals using your main team without worrying about missing Renown. Then host at least 2 Magna(Omega) Primals per day and reach full contribution. Or just leech with BP(EP).

For those who give a shit:

-Normal Version Primals-

15 AP - 4 (Bonus: 3 R, 4 SR)
AP Efficiency - 4/15, or 0.267 Renown per AP.
AP Effciency w/Bonus - 11/15, or  0.733 Renown per AP.

Total times doable per week: 6 primals, 3x per day, 7 days per week, so 126 times.

Total Renown per week:

Regular Renown: 126 * 4 = 504
R Bonus Renown: 126* 3 = 378
SR Bonus Renown: 126 * 4 = 504 (Capped at 500)
Grand total (if you only do Normal versions): 1382

AP Use - 1890 AP

-Hard Version Primals-

25 AP - 12 (Bonus: 6 R, 6 SR)
AP Efficiency - 12/25, or 0.48 Renown per AP
AP Efficiency w/Bonus 24/25, or 0.96 Renown per AP

Total times doable per week: 126, same as above.

Total Renown per week:

Regular Renown: 126 * 12 = 1512
R Bonus Renown: 126 * 6 = 756 (Capped at 500)
SR Bonus Renown: 126 * 6 = 756 (Capped at 500)
Grand Total (If you only do Hard versions): 2512

AP Use - 3150

As you can see, you can guarantee a full 3K weekly renown by just doing both Normal and Hard versions of the primals daily. The Normal versions are really AP inefficient, though, and realistically only yield 488 Renown. While they can drop Soul Berries and gold anima (and sometimes even SR magna weapons) it's not really worth it to do them. The 488 missing renown can be easily made up by hosting or leeching Magnas (Omegas), though if you leech you might get 0 Renown for a fight.

-Notes-

Since R and SR Bonus Renown is capped at 500 each per week, you can do 42 Hard Version Primals with any team and still get max Renown. Since each primal can be fought 21 times per week, this means you can choose to just use your actual team to burn 2 of the 6 primals instead of trying to do them with the 2SR + R team. Completion > Bonus (Since it's capped quickly). Plus, it's kind of annoying when you clog up other people's lists with Hard Primals just because you can't do them alone.

Also, just to show how easy it is to make up the 488 Renown: Magna (Omega) Primals give 40 Renown for full contribution. You really should be able to host at least 1 daily. This will get you 280 Renown per week if you can reach full contribution. Do that for 2 and you're already set. Coincidentally, 2 Magna Primals are relatively easy (Ygg and Tiamat), so there should really be no issue doing that.

If you can't host Magnas regularly or can only tag them, just do Normals (if you care enough about that missing 488 Renown early).

-Extra: AP Potion costs-

3150 AP for a week's worth of grinding Hards. That's 450 AP per day. Natural regen is 1AP/5min, for a total of 288 AP per day. You're missing 162 AP, or 4 1/2 AP Pots and change. Daily, you get 5 1/2 AP Pots from Casino (capped at 100 per month). That means, theoretically, you actually lose little to no 1/2 AP Pots as long as this is all you do. Of course, that's not going to be true (events, Fate Episodes, Story, etc.), and most people can't camp GBF all day to take full advantage of natural regen, so you're going to experience some loss.
