Guide to New SAO Dungeon Event

So, as far as i can tell, as of Zone 1, there is no difference in any dungeon for map piece drops. they will all give you the same amount of tickets for the same zone, as for Zone 1, its all solo, and all short dungeons. however, if you are looking for the combo card pieces, which do sell fairly decently, then you will want to run fiodh or (possibly) math dungeons, that is the only thing that changes. long story short:

~if you are looking for tickets, your best bet is running Alby multiple times in a row and spamming that for act 1 tickets

~if you are looking for combo card components, then run fiodh, and if you get bored with that, then do math, but remember, even alby can give you good combo pieces

happy hunting all!

Zone 2 is about the same situation as Zone 1, however BE WARNED! The difficulty spikes way higher even in Alby, if you have issues with multiple aggro or are not very durable, then i suggest you dont run this zone. Once again, this a solo only dungeon, and the only difference being rarer combo cards drop, and the secondary title has changed from Klein to Scilla, but still remains at 60 tickets.

~difficulty raised, so watch out!

~2 floors this time, but still solo only

~Also, be expecting a few giant spiders to spawn in normal rooms, that means deceptively long hit ranges for them, dont try ranged attacking unless its magic

~boss is a Giant Black Spider, same as normal alby but stronger and more durable

Happy hunting and good luck!

EDIT

if you want to do anything, and i do mean ANYTHING in game requiring combat or timing, i highly recommend you do them before or after mid-afternoon, due to the fact that the SAO event has caused massive server lag spikes in all areas and especially in SM's.
