We are way behind. JP is 9 months ahead. Just use steal on everything outside the colliseum for the ability and steal trophies

Adding to this:
Global has 2 islands/continents at the moment.
JP (I think) is up to island/continent #7.
Pacing on JP is about 1 month for each new island/continent to be added to the game.
Steal won't get you anything of real value, just crafting and awakening components. Also, steal has an annoyingly low success rate, so be prepared to miss a lot.
Thanks! And wow @ the difference between both versions... Hopefully Gumi starts picking up the pace with the global version.

It's possible.
Past JP pacing places island/continent #3 about 2 weeks away (it was exactly 5 weeks after launch; this is global's 3rd week).
However, it is all but assured that a fair number of collabs that exist on the JP server will never make it onto global (licensing and/or cultural issues). As such, it may be possible for the game's timetable to be accelerated. For example, global is receiving characters at an accelerated pace. Chizuru was released on global well ahead of schedule than she did on JP. We know about the Locke/Artemios banner already, but according to the JP timetable, that banner did not occur until 2 weeks **after** the release of the 3rd island/continent.
Yessir - Holy Crystal get and was able to evolve Fina to 5*. The saved up Cactuar were enough to get her to lvl 72. Took me exactly 15 Cactuars i thinks, sadly i ddint get a single Great/Amazing success, cant have it all.
Cheer will be very helpful once i reach the later Coliseum stages. I need to evolve/level 2-3 more units than im dont with the physical units and will start working on my mages. Hope we dont get a Boss/Trial the requires Top Mages before im done...will probably take a month or whenever Cactuar will be back.
Heh...not bad for temporary slots :v
Perfect - will let me one hit kill most mob waves.

Somehow I did forgot that my Exdeath ability slots are empty.
Time to fill the slots with something temporary.

Fun fact time.
According to analyzed reroll data from Reddit, "major" boosted rates equate to:
3* base pulls (Kefka, Golbez) - 20x base rate --> 13% total draw rate each (summing 3+4+5* rates).
4* base pulls (Chizuru) - 10x base rate --> 2.2% total draw rate (summing 4+5*)
For those dreaming of Lightning, projections using the analysis to generate the numbers above (assuming that the logic for rate ups apply to 5*s equally as they do for 4*s), the working number is hovering around 1% with a 10x rate boost. Good luck, everyone on that.

It's the final countdown!
Now where is the best place to farm magicite? I need level up my espers to 2* to rank up more easily, the trial with Demon Chimera is hard for my party
Grats on the Europa clear!
Phantom Forest for magicites.

According to the JP timeline, the next Trials do not appear before the 3rd island is released.
Rate seems the same that SSBs or BSSBs on FFRK. So pretty terrible xD.

Phantom Forest is better then Chamber of Crystals right?
Yes if you have the time to do PFE.

I made a second account for fun and the first pull is a fucking Chizuru
I did the same and immediately deleted it. Couldn't cope.
Another Magicite event, I wonder if they'll ever give the 2 bonus sword recipe for everyone (Land of Plenty's rewards)
I was super lucky on FFRK, trinity, all of Ramza/Agrias items and Cloud and PCecil's BSB, I expect the same on Brave Exvius
I really want to evolve my Chizuru from 4* --> 5*, but I need so many things I don't have.
7 Earth's Core
13 Sacred Crystals
3 Talmonite of Life
7 Holy Crystal
Where's the best place to gather these, from the Awakening Vortex? I'm still working my way through the story (currently on final stage of Lanzelt Snowlands), so I'm not sure if there's a better area before (or after that) I can focus on.
I want to help those on my Friend List more. :/

I have all that on RK too except Pecil Burst...300 mythril on Adult Rydia 1 banner to get niet...then here I got Chizuru first ticket and wasting another 3 to get kefka I got him and Cecil. So I forgive RNGsus
.They are not worth the money.
No 6* in the future. Locke Treasure Hunter passive is nice but you can always friend summon him. His Rising Sun TM is also good if you have CoD but CoD will get a trial maze soon anyway.
The other are plain bad, the helmet TM is a good piece of armor but nothing to become crazy.
Fair enough, will keep saving. Thanks

Did two more desperate pulls to try and snag a chizuru
Anzselm and Russell
Im done here lol

I have been there - she really needs a lot. Your best shot is to just farm INT Awakening Vortex and hope that you get enough evo materials through the day. There isnt a more effective approach when it comes to Sacred/Holy Crystals.
Earth's Core - Phantom Forest exploration, steal/kill Ghouls, last boss can drop one too. INT Awakening vortex drops them as well. You can also steal from Ghouls in the Colosseum C-3.
Sacred Crystals, Holy Crystal - INT/ADV Awakening Vortex. Make sure to overkill everything. INT seems to be better for Sacred.
Talmonite of Life - Zadehl Westersand exploration. Steal/kill from the jumping fish or kill the merman looking things. You might want to stay on the SE side of the map. ADV Awakening Vortex seems to drop them as well, rarely. You can also steal from Toadgres in the Colosseum C-4.

I see lots of people trying to pull for Chizuru and having a tough time. I pulled her quite easily and now have her at level 80. She's absolutely amazing with her barrage and light shell skills!

That's actually......really good.
Though with the pool getting bigger it won't get any easier.

Oh cool, they're bringing back the chamber of crystals and now we know the dates for the Locke rates up banner! I didn't realize the chamber of crystals was a special event last time, I thought it was just a regular vortex chamber so I totally ignored it last time. Is it worth farming or are explorations more energy efficient?

Yeah i would love to have her but damn

I want him for treasure hunter and the fact that he is straight awesome
I dont know if easy or difficult are the right terms when it comes top Gacha - at the end its just luck. That being said...congrats on max lvling her - Barrage is awesome.
From what ive read so Phantom Forest Exploration is more effective when it comes to Stamina/Esper leveling. If you dont have the time for an Exploration and just wanna quickly burn stamina the Crystal stage is good enough i guess. Havent tried it myself yet though.

I finally cleared beginners Colosseum. My level 79 Kefka ran out of MP by the end (I wonder how much better hyperdrive would have been at 3/2 the MP cost it would have to do at least that much more damage), all but 2 of party were KOd (3 story units, shadow* and kefka) and I only really won due to some attacks being reflected.
*-Good news. I now have a second Kefka now so I can eventually replace him (I've run out of Cactuars).

Yeah I do remember reading something about times changing. Didn't realise it meant the two were out of sync. Thanks for that explanation.
In some sense it might be best to not beat yourself up over a 4% difference (Lanzelt Highlands - Summit vs Lanzelt Highlands - Exploration) but like was also said if you can consistently beat the 2* summon fights (maybe you have access to one of those Chizuru with barrage and dual wield) those beat other options. You have to remember you can't be fully efficient at everything either (the most efficient are going to have worse TM returns due to being one battle per 15 NRG).
GAF, I need new friends.

My main is Chizuru lv 74 (not long until 80 though).
What is the recommended equip for Golbez because apart from his Gravity spell, he seems to be almost useless.
How did you manage to increase Vaan attack to 450+. It makes my Chizuru looks like a toygun.

Yeah, he's one of my favorites. I'm not exactly sure if I need another Treasure Hunter in my party. (Max Vaan, Max Zidane) but I want him!

I really don't think I have the mental capacity to grind out TM unless I ever pull a Zidane so I think I'm just going to stick with knocking out 2* esper battles till I'm at like at least 50 NRG

Got a 4 star Shantotto as my main, haven't had time to level her up yet but soon hopefully.

Thanks! She really carries my party. Getting 4 attacks in a single turn is amazing, coupled with Masamune is ridiculous.
Somehow I did forgot that my Exdeath ability slots are empty

I don't think killer materias work on magical attacks.
Not worth spending lapis on.
This post... I mean...
Please, tell her how you easily pulled her. Any tips for others?
Lawdy
Lol. As if we need skills in pulling a gacha.
Well this guy "easily" pulled her, so I'm guessing there are some skillz involved.
