It's obviously a bug/exploit/loophole and I don't blame him for not sharing given that as soon as it's widespread it will probably be fixed.

Spoiler

jk, I'd like to know this too. I read something about signing in/out of your dummy facebook to claim rewards or something the other day, so I'm guessing that's what it is. I"m way too lazy for that.

 

[Meneses]

I think he already explained it in this thread a few pages back?

At least I remember someone talking about it. It's something to do with rerolling and logging back in to the original account and the game always gives you some bonus it shouldn't.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

soft launch/beta in swedish store, but anyone can dl.

Awesome. I assume I won't lose everything at full release?

 

[Jeffrey]

Awesome. I assume I won't lose everything at full release?

yep confirmed on their fb page.

 

[RalchAC]

I tried to add you, but your full already.

Fixed! Deleted a bunch of people and increased my friend list a bit with Lapis

Cool, I still need to see if I can clear that. Hopefully it's as easy as the advance exp vortex. Sadly I don't have a unit that can steal and don't have anyone on my friend's list has one that can either.

Do some friend pulls.

Your can get a thief that way

 

[bonkeng]

How do we open those locked chest?

 

[Rixa]

How do we open those locked chest?

Either:

a) Craft key (Screamroots and other hard obtained stuff)
or
b) Buy keys with Lapis.

They say that on 2nd Island there are chest that you should open.

 

[Vex_]

Wait. I thought we couldn't craft keys yet? Where is the recipe located?

Thanks.

Btw, noob question regarding quest at earth shrine, someone from town is asking a book.

EDIT: got it. Super easy to find, but somehow i missed it the first time.

 

[Vitanimus]

Sigh. Still no Hill Gigas after a few days running. Farming Farplane Dew and Sacred Crystal's to awaken my Shantotto to 4* and there's still a month to go before we get any new content. :'(

And I found out yesterday that the colosseum refills once an hour and isn't a once a day sorta deal. Sigh.

also, what to do with the trash units?

I'm keeping a copy of each (of the Friend Point pullable units) in order to get the Trust rewards.

I feed the rest of them to the same unit in order to raise the trust attribute.

You might be right . We prolly get recipe when 2nd Island opens.

Throne room is the place to farm Hill Gigas, I know its still rng :/. Farplane Dew drop from Vortex Awaken adv.

I feed the rest of them to the same unit in order to raise the trust attribute.

If you have room in party, raise them to max level and sell those trash units, they give nice amount of Gil.

 

[bonkeng]

Where is the Colosseum? Do we need high level units to clear some? Need some to claim daily reward lol

 

[Muffmuff]

Hey guys, after rerolling and playin for days I have some decent accounts but I dont know which one would be the best to grind on.

1. 5* Terra, 4* Sabin, 3*Kain (Terra has no 6* form atm)
2. 3*Vaan,3* Kain (same as Terra, well his FB is good but 6* Rain will learn it too)
3. Flat 3* Exdeath (in JP still in top 3)
4. Flat 3* Cecil (same)

whelp

Well, everyone is saying Vaan will eventually get a 6* form in the future. Seeing as he is a main protagonist of a mainline Final Fantasy, I'd guess it's is very likely.

I did pull Vaan too and have the same question when I realized he only goes to 5* currently.

Anyway, it's either Vaan, Cecil or Exdeath for you.

 

[Visceir]

Might as well share my account too, most of them are still low level as I rolled the acc just today:

Visceir
ID: 978,822,141

3* Vaan
3* Garland
3* Edgar
4* Anzelm
2* Laswell

That's a nice team. How many times did you have to reroll?

 

[Rixa]

You only need to get to the Royal Capital to gain access to coloseum.

I think you need to do prelim quest (kill 3 Hill Gigas), quest is given at Royal Capital, enter Colosseum there.

I got graphical bug. Went to finish daily to Latius forest (and grabbed 2 SQ, using map below). Then entered to Colosseum and used steal there, got stuff from one mob (others were empty). When fight finished, had shitton of stuff (for example 2 SQ). Sadly I didnt get extra SQ / Magicites or so.

Star Quartz locations are 7 & 8.

Edit: Ty @Visceir

 

[Visceir]

That's a nice team. How many times did you have to reroll?

Days! Haha. But I've been rerolling pretty casually, just here and there off and on. Close to all of the rolls have been pretty bad.


But yea, it's hard to beat this team. Vaan/Garland are pretty top tier early on, got your Cura heals in the form of Anzelm and Edgar doing his aoe/poison dmg. Was going to say that only lacking a decent magic dealer, but Garland has some aoe magic spells too.

Turns out complaining on GAF netted me the Farplane Dew and Sacred Crystals I needed to awaken my Shantotto. Thanks GAF!

I nearly have 5000 lapis and I'm super tempted to do a rare ticket pull, but I don't wanna blow it all and not get a Vaan or Exdeath. My current party is:

4*: Shantotto, Roseria
3* Kain, Bartz, Medius

which I'm pretty happy with.

 

[Rixa]

@cwSasuke:

Grats for your new account

 

[Yu Narukami]

How can you guys have so many good units? My only roll is Cerius. I am so jealous lol.

 

[cw_sasuke]

I wasnt gonna do it ...bvut i had some time this morning so i thought to give rerolling a try since i already more or less reached the final point of current content. So getting back there would take too much time..glad i did it since i got Cecil on my first reroll.

My new ID:
005.742.814

So anyone who already had me on their friendlist can delete my old account and hopefully has still enough place for my new one.

@cwSasuke:

Grats for your new account

Thanks bro,
i just needed to provide my Friends with a better unit....well this and i thought now or never, since the content as you said is still limited right now xD

This bears a slighty longish explanation since you just unlocked the vortex. Normally, you choose one of the vortex dungeons to unlock each day, and you can play it as long as you have stamina, until the next day. The countdown normally shows how much longer until the reset.

This weekend, however, all vortex dungeons are unlocked, so their counters reflect how much longer until they close and revert to the normal behaviour on monday.

Thanks - this makes sense...so its like in other games where they only have one kind of special dungeon available per week day. Would have been too good if this was always the case ...lol.

Today is my get Vaan high enough in 4* form and grind Awaken materials day too. Good thing in those Vortex is that to open first one it doesnt cost anything. My suggestion is that run Awaken Vortex every day after today, so long that you have enough mats for future.

[Yu Narukami]

I am more and more thinking about quitting playing and reroll with the 11 tickets when the game fully releases.

 

[coldflame23]

I got miyuki as first pull. Should I reroll?

 

[Euphoria14]

Edit - Incorrect info.

 

[Rootbeer]

I got miyuki as first pull. Should I reroll?

If you are going to put in time rerolling, then the answer is yes and aim for one of these:

"Best": Vaan | Exdeath | Bartz | Cecil | CoD
Noteworthy: Firion | Garland | Terra | Roselia
Useful: Cyan | Miyuki | Edgar | Shantotto | Krile | Vivi
Good TM: Zidane | Bartz | Luna | Cecil [...]

Personally I got a Kain who is not on the list and stuck with that. With the 10 free tickets that (should) be issued in the future around E3 you can supplement your team nicely with those.

Anyway, since the Beta has quite limited content right now, I am considering rerolling again since you can finish all the story content pretty fast.

Where has this been mentioned?

 

[Weltall Zero]

For those that need Heaven's Ash and/or Pearl of Wisdom, the place to get them aside from awakening dungeon is colosseum C-5, stealing from the T-Rexes (they can give both) and the other units (the drones at least give pearls). Each enemy carries one item so you have to manually target and steal from each enemy until you get one from each (defend with the rest or kill enemies already stolen from). In my experience you're way more likely to get ashes and pearls this was as opposed to the actual awakening dungeon.

If you don't have a thief, there's a common unit summonable via friend points. To maximize pulls, spend a few lapis on upgrading your friend list, then from friends, invite those with units that you want as supports. Each time you receive friend points, favorite them from your friend list (you can check if they're already favorited right from the friend point retrieval list). After a couple days, remove those not favorited to clear up space. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Rixa]

When you login to FFBE pages.

There is a good chance we will get those 10 sweet tickets.

 

[diablos991]

Who wants to bet we conveniently hit this goal on Monday and the game releases on Tuesday?

 

[Rootbeer]

What makes you think it will launch that soon? Although I hope that is the case.

I'm worried we won't reach the 10 ticket milestone, especially if the game releases before E3. The initial burst of registrations is probably past. I hope it's still a steady flow, but the final milestone is quite a ways beyond the previous one in terms of points.

 

[Heng]

Do some friend pulls.

Your can get a thief that way

Alright I'll do that, I just keep getting 1 star healers from friend pulls though.

Does anyone know where to get iron ores? I've tried the advance crafting vortex but I haven't seen one drop. It could be I'm just that unlucky though...

Well Square will reduce the high tier droprate during the giveaway anyways... f2p is never free

Im multi rerolling 4 Acc at the same time with a script and never pulled a 4* Cecil, Vaan or Exdeath.

 

[Valentus]

so, save those tickets and lapis for Lightning? Theres a debate in FFBE sub that even if Lightning is the most meta unit in the game right now, there's other really cool content you will be missing for saving for lightning (Locke, Celes, Warrior of Light, Tellah, Lenna)

And Lightning will be a base 5 star unit, so the chances of getting a rainbow crystal are insane... so yeah, fuck lightning, i'll save for my waifu Celes.

 

[Visceir]

It's like with all pre-register/pre-order bonuses. It would be bad PR to not hit all the goals so I'm 100% certain we will. It's in their own interest.

Even if Lightning is really good, I doubt having her is 100% necessary to progress. Sooo just do what you want.

I will just save for FF VII/VIII/X characters, which haven't been released in Japan yet lol.

Spoiler

Nah, I will pull every once in a while, especially when a good White Mage is boosted.

Oh reeeaaallllyyyy well that is interesting

Would you care to share your method.

I'm still experimenting with rerolling... 3 nox windows open at once. 2 is easy, 3 is non stop clicking back and forth. Sadly i even got two duplicate pulls while doing this haha

so this rakshasa girl isnt good? :<

 

[Zunja]

Garland should hit 5 stars within a day with Bartz following to 5 shortly after. My team is looking meaty I just wish I had a healer to replace Cyan I just don't like him much. Hopefully in the future Gabranth will be a unit.

Look at reddit, I pulled 3 shadow at once xD

I'm using Nox too, 4 Windows - all the same autoscript. After a few scripts i finally made one without problmes. Now i just make one klick and after 12 mins i can summon 4 units, maybe i should try even more windows... want a 4* exdeath so badly.

C3, after fight you have 500 pts to boss, steal your stuff:

So main main leads - Cecil, Rain and Lasswell are all 3* right now and will need Heavens Ash and Sacred Crystals...in addition to more common evo materials. Can i get these via Vortex ? So far i havent seen them but i havent done the ADV Quest and INT only once for fun.

Also can Cecil learn Cure in his 3* version ? Doesnt look like the current merchants/quests provide a way to learn or create the spell yet.

It also looks like i will have to increase my Material max stock from 50 at some point - how many slots have you added so far when it comes to material, friends etc. ? I already upped friend to 30.

 

[RalchAC]

I'm siiiiiiiiiick of this. After 2 days doing Awaken Vortex and stealing stuff at Coliseum I still haven't got A SINGLE HEAVEN ASH. Those zombies drop other shit.

Not a single one I repeat.

Zero

None.

Fuck everything.

Sacred Crystals can drop in both INT and ADV. I've personally seen more drops in INT but I don't know the rates.

Heaven's Ash I don't know. Read above.

I have materials at 70 iirc. I have friends at 30 too.

 

[Feep]

Spiritsand seems to be the rarest of all drops, at the moment. I've obtained one in 40+ ADV Awakening runs, and I need three for Rain's 5* awakening.

Terra's 5* doesn't look too bad, though...I need her Raise spell!

 

[Yu Narukami]

I got more Heaven's Ash from INT than from ADV and they can also be stolen from Ghouls and Tyrannosaurs.

Cecil has cure at level 1 at 3*. I have him myself. On ios we have the app FFBE Wiki which has every unit and every material and with skills etc.
I also can craft cure.
