Personally I would reprimand any of my group members I find not doing the monthly lol, especially f2p players. Its not like stamina pots are that precious a resource (at most you use 3-4 a day to fulfill the 60 sweep req), and across the entire month your pot count should still be increasing month to month for f2p. The benefits are frags you can eventually redeem for seals/iruka, and monthly points to redeem for puri + something else. Totally worth spending the pots, which at most have a 10ish coupon value per?

To each his own with regards to how to handle the 4th week, but there definately is a RoI doing all monthly tasks, even if its frag stacking, and a consistent source of puri - 5 a day is 150 a month, which "should" give you an orange stat item.
Also elite instances arent useless. For week 4, you sweep 60x. This wlil give you a minimum of 20 frags, though you should be getting around 30. Thats 300 points if you sweep the correct 10 point ninjas. 10 days of this gives you 10 iruka frags and 2 seals/4 summon, and 60 points from the monthly, which could turn into 4 puris or 2 med thread (though for f2p I recommend maxing out on puris since thread can be gotten through SA/lucky board value).

I myself only stack mats up to a point then continue farming elite instances on normal basis

hehe I dont think the suggestion was bad, I just feel people underestimate the value of refine frags, so trying to ensure people get value during week 4 instead of skipping it :)
