Any Gafers have room on their friends list for me? The only person I have (I think) is Ventara. I need better friends as most of my list of randoms are level 40 or less and just end up being 1-shot in chapter 2 dungeons.
I just bit the bullet and ended up buying them with rubies. I held off on buying the Draco essences and it took me ages to get a Draco which caused me to slip in weekly rankings which meant less rubies which increased the wait time and so on. While it sucks spending rubys on stuff you can get via drops it seems so important to at least try and "Keep up" that doing it early seems better than doing it later. To be honest I think the games been out long enough now that those who spent big early on are in an unassailable position, an issue thats only going to get worse given the games "Rich get richer" design. I'm still having fun with it but I think the writings on the wall.
This is where I'm at. I've been so far behind that I never bothered reading about Draco's, Angels, etc., until last week or so. I finally finished myth and actually have enough SSS to make my first Draco now (going for Blackaria). I've been farming for essences this whole last week and spent about 300 shoes this weekend. I received 3 essences. >_>
I said fuck this and decided to just buy the essences that I need since my healer right now is Mer and I think even a +0 Blackaria has to serve me better than him (maybe I'm wrong?) because I am majorly struggling in the chapter 2 dungeons.
I ran into a snag though because I didn't realize it costs a fuck ton of gold to limit break characters (never done it before) so I've been running lab over and over and over. Yay! >_<
They
really need to implement auto-retry for lab.
