I hit a new monster chest that I was about to go to level 7-4, and then I did some quick math.
The 1 Flag level (even the first) in the Event has 9 monsters in total. You get more monsters per flag.
1 flag / 9 monsters. Running 7-4 is 3 flags for 15-16 monsters, which comes out to 1 flag / 3.3 monsters.
11 Flags - brings you to 99 monsters (out of 100), just replaying the event first level on autoplay / replay gets that chest filled quickly and cheaply.
Doing this give a second purpose in grinding for those extra ‘Suspicous Chests’.
Cheers.

Yes, rare stage 1 to 3 is simply great for all of that, and drops a very good amount of feeders heroes too.

Also, XP reward has the best ratio for entire game, possibly even surpassing Rise of Atlantis.
Which brings a question: what is a better farm, summon and XP-wise? Atlantis or Events?

Great catch! I’ll have to pass this on to the rest of my alliance. I hadn’t done the math myself, so I was thinking I should fill my monster chest first before doing Avalon because I for some odd reason believed that I’d get more monster-per-flag from provinces. Great to know I can hit 2 birds with 1 stone.

Yup, been hitting those rare events like crazy to fill the monster chests.

The only problem may be the total time, but the reward is far better by WE.
Yo get not only a nice amount of recruits, also héroes.

Time, yes, but I think a halfway decent team setup should be able to autoplay the lower levels without much difficulty.

Not more tan a 1’30’’ in autoplay for me, the boring thing is that you need 12 rounds of first stage to get the 100 monsters.
975 exp in rare st 3 only 1 WE, less tan 2 mins in autoplay, worthy.

Yeah, Rare Stage 3 is the way to go. 12 WE Flags fills a monster chest. The only significant downside is no Hams or Iron, but the other drops seem to be pretty good.

I haven’t done all the maths myself, but on an ordinary non-event day, I will just auto-farm either S1,5/4 or S1,8/7 to finish my monster chest, usually averaging 13 monsters per 3 flags (then using remaining flags for whatever else I might be wanting at that time, whether it’s more backpacks, Atlantis, emblems, recruits etc.) But if the premise of this thread is correct (haven’t personally tested yet), and I can actually fill my monster chest in fewer flags (while also having a very tiny chance of getting a chest for an event token), I’m all for it!
Don’t care about the XP, the only time I actively try to level up is when I’m at 98% and want to squeeze in 3 extra titan hits. 
At least for me, it seems to drop heroes like crazy. I need to grind Sartana now, and since my Farms and Watchtower are all at 20, no ham should not bother me too much.
Yes I came on to rave about the same thing - Rare stage 3 - excellent stage for farming monsters, heroes and XP.
I still haven’t come across a suspicious chest yet though for rare stage 3

@FrenziedEye My main profile didn’t even encounter one chest until stage 11 in epic difficulty. My alt found one in rare. I shoot all my offense specials into it when it is vulnerable. That way I know I am gonna get my coin.
