Event Stage Entries
Event stage entries are the best large-scale gems-to-Core-Dust conversion in the game. A couple of cheap Dispatch reroll upgrades convert better, but those cap out near 2 gems a day, while events hold a flat 0.200 hrs per gem for around 62. The numbers below cover the 20 farmable Story Events from 2025-01-16 09:00 to 2026-01-19 20:00 UTC (368.4583 days). Every stage reward is a Core Dust Case (1H), so cases and dust-hours are the same thing.

Entry shops
Every event sells extra entries through one of two fixed shops. 2-week events use the 45-entry ladder. Every other event, including the 3-week Grands and the long one-offs, uses the 70-entry Grand ladder. Rows are listed the same way the in-game shop sells them, and duplicate-looking rows are distinct shop items.

Event types
Every event maps to one of these stat blocks. Days are entry-grant days (the opening batch plus one per 05:00 JST reset), so free entries are always 5 × days. Entry columns count entries; the dust columns count hours.

First clears = entries spent clearing each stage once. Farms = repeat runs on the Core Dust stages. First-clear hrs = the dust the Core Dust stages pay on their own first clears.
Romantic Valentine: 2-week stage layout run for three weeks, so there was extra farming time after Hard unlocked.
Memories Teller: two of its chapters run 15 stages instead of 12, so first clears cost 42 entries instead of 36; the farm stage is Hard 1-13.
ABSOLUTE: four-week run.
Coins In Rush: 20 reset-days.
Reborn Evil: four-week run; overlapped Go! Ninja Thief!.
Terminus Ticket: 26 reset-days.
Event timeline
All times UTC. Start hours are approximated as 18:00 JST (after maintenance). End times are exclusive and fall either at the 04:59 JST reset or at 23:59 JST. The dust column counts both free and paid farming for that event’s type.

Guide
The entry economy
Farmable Story Events give you 5 free entries per day. You get one batch when the event opens and another at every daily 05:00 JST reset, so free entries are always 5 × days. A 14-day event grants 70, a 21-day event grants 105, and a 28-day run grants 140. Each entry plays one stage. The repeatable Core Dust stages pay 2×1H cases on Normal and 4×1H cases on Hard, so a farmed entry is worth 2 or 4 hours depending on which difficulty is open.
Rules used for the totals
The totals assume you clear each stage as it unlocks, save purchased entries until Hard is open and the first clears are done, then use every purchased entry on the best Hard stage. Each paid entry is therefore worth 4 hours.
Why a paid entry is 20 gems and 4 hours
Both entry shops use the same rate: 5 entries cost 100 gems, 10 cost 200, and 20 cost 400. There is no bulk discount. Every paid entry costs 20 gems and farms 4 hours on Hard, which is the flat 0.200 hrs/gem rate the planner uses.
The 2-week schedule
Story opens on day one and Hard unlocks a week later, with 12 stages in each set. Of the 35 entries available each week, 12 go to first clears and 23 remain for Core Dust stages. Those first clears pay 6 hrs and the farm runs pay 138, for a free total of 144 hrs. Buying all 45 extra entries adds 180 hrs for 900 gems and brings the event total to 324.
The Grand schedule
Grand events add Story II in week two before Hard opens in week three. Of the 105 free entries, 36 go to first clears and the remaining 69 provide 46 Normal and 23 Hard farm runs. First clears pay 8 hrs and farming pays 184, for a free total of 192 hrs. The 70-entry Grand shop adds 280 hrs for 1,400 gems and brings the event total to 472.
The long runs and the odd ones
Longer events run the same waves over more resets. Every extra day past the last wave is 5 more entries farmed on Hard at 4 hrs each, so longer events pay more. Romantic Valentine ran the 2-week layout for 21 days. After the usual first week it had 14 days of Hard (12 first clears and 58 farm runs, 284 free hrs). ABSOLUTE and Reborn Evil ran the Grand layout for 28 days. ABSOLUTE splits its farm runs into 46 Normal and 58 Hard for 332 free hrs. Reborn Evil works out to 51 and 53 for 322, and its schedule overlapped Go! Ninja Thief!. Terminus Ticket (26 days) comes to 46 Normal and 48 Hard, and Coins In Rush (20 days) to 46 and 18. Memories Teller is the odd one. Two of its chapters run 15 stages instead of 12, so first clears cost 42 entries instead of 36, which leaves 63 farm runs (43 Normal and 20 Hard, 174 free hrs). Its farm stage is Hard 1-13.
Event coverage over the year
Across the 368.4583-day window, the nine 2-week events covered about 33% of the days and the eleven longer events covered about 66% (Go! Ninja Thief! overlapped Reborn Evil for around five of them). Only 10.8 days, or 259 hours, had no farmable event running.
