red eyes took me 97 jono 2 duels
200 meadow gave me 2MBD + 1SK, but i won every buyable
beat the game in 17:40


part 2:  a-tec farm and magic cleanup
nitemare went extremely well, first 20 a-tecs had me just missing cyber shield
mai gave me cyber shield, HoL, and nuzzler in 22 more
went back to nitemare for 3 more duels and got DPL + CC
meadow took 45 a-tecs to win spellbinding x2, HotU, and final flame
i wanted more equips so i did mage soldier, got axe in 3 a-tecs and DE after 21 BCDs
51 total BCDs on rex/shadi for eatgaboon, sadly no beast fangs
timer was at 27:39 starting heishin


part 3:  the big boys
449 heishin wins + 46 losses for 4/5 + zoas + THTDs + SK#2
214 seto 3 wins + 147 losses for 3 blue eyes, no sky dragon
tried heishin campaign after, lost on duel #50
209 more heishin wins + 7 losses for 5/5
missing exodia head, got it after 55 seto 2 duels
timer was at 57:14 after winning exodia


part 4:  cleanup
cleanup in general was mostly very good, though a few spots went bad
monster egg took me a total of 113 seto 2 duels + the 51 rex/shadi from earlier
won silver bow after 58 mai BCDs
villager1 took me 265 duels to win curry x2, definitely the worst farm i had
i got parrot dragon from secmeton lmao
time wizard took me 4 jono duels while doing the final rituals
i won almost every card worth 200+ chips which helps a lot
bought masked sorcerer by mistake for a ritual, cost me about 10-15 minutes
final run time was 77:27:57



notes on every duelist:

simon - 1 win
after being pressured for it relentlessly, i did one simon duel and won nothing lol

teana - 0 wins

jono - 17 wins
11 duels at the beginning in farm 1, 6 duels at the end for rituals
got yamatano early, time wizard and 2 kunai at the end, very good farm

villager1 - 265 wins
did my first set of rituals and fusions here
red medicine + first curry took me 80 duels
since i didn't win simochi, i needed 2 curry and the second one took forever
thankfully most of them were POWs so i won a few of the exclusive monsters

villager2 - 1 win
did 1 duel during farm 1, won a dragon zombie in campaign though

villager3 - 36 wins
19 BCDs in farm 1, 17 pows in cleanup
got 2 thunders early and only got 1 card in cleanup (cheapest possible)

seto - 10 wins
cleanup at the very end, fire eye was the final card to finish

heishin - 658 wins, 53 losses
started off really slow with a weak deck, took a while to win zoas + THTDs
went to seto 3rd once i was only missing sanga, didn't win it and came back
49 wins in campaign, got punished by MM twice and couldn't survive the second time
overall a very good farm, missed exodia head and bickuribox
3 kaiser dragons i won here helped me a lot later on, also got MBD#3 + SK#2

rex raptor - 47 wins
5 duels in farm 1, got CD2 + THKR which caused me to farm v3 for the rest
remaining duels were BCDs for BF, ultimately didn't win it here

weevil underwood - 57 wins
cleanup, won a few cards, nothing notable

mai valentine - 80 wins
22 a-tecs for a few cyber shields, HoL, and nuzzler
58 BCDs for silver bow, ultimately pretty good

bandit keith - 48 wins
the most dry i went for new cards in cleanup, hardly won anything new here

shadi - 24 wins
9 BCDs for eatgaboon after trying rex first, then 15 pows in cleanup

yami bakura - 55 wins
decent farm, all pows, wanted spirit of the harp but it never showed up

pegasus - 65 wins, 5 losses
12 BCDs, 53 a-tecs, both went extremely well
won DT in campaign, then 2 more while searching for a trap
37 a-tecs gave me 2MM + 1BC which was enough, came back after kaiba to win MM#3

isis - 42 wins
all pows in cleanup, won fairy of the fountain but not much else

kaiba - 100 wins, 2 losses
14 BCDs trying for a trap, got 5 dragons + SoDD
14 a-tecs for WE and a second SoDD
the rest were pows in cleanup, won several of his rares including hunter spider

mage soldier - 28 wins
7 total a-tecs here including campaign, got my ATH here, axe of despair later
the rest were BCDs for DE due to being low on equips, which didn't take long
also did a few pows here for barox, it came extremely quick

jono 2nd - 97 wins, 2 losses
slightly over drop rate but won everything else but giltia, can't complain

teana 2nd - 0 wins

ocean mage - 20 wins
just some cleanup, didn't win anything notable

high mage secmeton - 56 wins
probably the most reliable spot, i won so much here including parrot dragon
the only major card i was missing here was monster tamer

forest mage - 0 wins

high mage anubisius - 0 wins

mountain mage - 0 wins

high mage atenza - 0 wins
surprised i never ended up here this run

desert mage - 0 wins

high mage martis - 0 wins

meadow mage - 245 wins, 1 loss
200 pows gave me 2MBD + 1SK, as well as every card worth chips besides toon alligator
45 a-tecs gave me 2 spellbinding, as well as HotU and plenty of final flames
not winning eatgaboon was the only minor complaint here, overall very good farm

high mage kepura - 40 wins
some cleanup, overlap with secmeton but i tried both

labyrinth mage - 0 wins

seto 2nd - 113 wins, 5 losses
got exodia head after 55 duels, then won 2 more before #90
monster egg came at the very end, only card of value i missed was maha vailo

guardian sebek - 19 wins
got multiple pendulum machines quickly and moved on to better places

guardian neku - 0 wins

heishin 2nd - 0 wins

seto 3rd - 215 wins, 148 losses
first blue eyes took close to 150 wins, the next 2 came pretty quickly after
59% winrate is not very good and i was getting a decent number of BCDs
but the number of wins ended up being slightly better than average
overall this farm was slightly below average due to not having sky dragon

darknite - 25 wins
got ancient one of the deep forest and a few other expensive cards quickly, very good

nitemare - 23 wins, 4 losses
dian keto + tfire in the first 13 duels, DPL and CC later, nothing bad to say
just wish he had given me more equips, only picked up 1 black pendant here

duel master k - 0 wins



final notes:

3MM, 1BC, 3DT, 1DE, 1HotU, 1Nuzz, 1BP, 2SoDD, 2HoL
167 total a-tecs, easily the best i've ever had
seto 3rd winrate was the worst i've ever had despite waiting
definitely a byproduct of doing so few nitemare a-tecs compared to usual
i want to win more cards from meadow next run, deck felt very weak on heishin + seto
i opted for consistency in cleanup, avoiding going back for sky dragon
weirdest card i had to buy: dragon piper
i will try to beat this run at some point, love the category  :)
