Yeah, I finally got the tenth one. It took me three days since the ninth one, but I was taking it easy, as I was running low on buckets.

In my experience best ratio of drops is in 3-5. I'd say about one-in-five meeting with Hoppo ended with getting one. On one lucky sortie I even got two - one from Hoppo, and another one from boss.

But farming Hoppos is definitely hard on your buckets supply. And it's still somewhat of a crapshot - sometimes you get two in short order, sometimes you run for two days without getting any. And sometimes you run into Black Wock Shooter in node C and it's "see you another time, Hoppo-chan".

Farming 1-4 with subs requires a lot of patience. I'd say it's about one-in-thirty chance or so. You might spent days sortieing again and again without getting any. But it's resources friendly way, if boring.

3-3 didn't do much for me. I tried it initially and got mochi from it, but between being trolled by compass girls and wasting almost as much resources as for Hoppo without similar payout seemed like a waste. In the end I farmed Hoppo as much as I could afford and kept sortieing 1-4 for days. And all this pain paid out in the end.
