The event might have been modified for Global, just like Demons Unleashed and Land of Plenty.
I'd say wait and see.

I don't know - running the event for gigantuars, star quartz, and elixirs doesn't sound that bad to me. And the HP+15% will be a bitch to get, of course. But seriously, if you are trying to level units in the ADV Vortex this might actually be a better use of time and energy. I agree with wait and see...

I guess it depends on how many materials and gigantaurs you can get because Im always in need of those fuckers

Grats shin!!! You too Joey!!
Yeah I could give two shits about that expedition, what's of real import is Kuja drop rate up!!!!!!!!
YAAASSSS
Chilly's going to have a new favorite mage! I love Kuja - mine is at L70, and he seems powerful enough. Slaythe, what are the stats on your maxed one? I probably would have pulled the next banner if I didn't already have Kuja. But seriously, the only ones I want are Amarant, and Zidane. Not sure if it is worth it when I already have Kuja and Vivi.
Lani is going to rain from the skies for everyone that pulls. Her and Vivi both

WoL come back on his 6* banner, probably a better time to get him, you will be better getting Cecil that will come probably next month with his 6* form. You can have both eventually, and both are compatible.

No no, he's the only one
Well I really like Kuja and I do hope that he gets a 6* cause his kit is...lacking, to say the least >.>

I've used it now with over 99 gifts to collect and had no crashes whatsoever. Also, I no longer get debilitating lag during exploration maps.
All I have to say is:
Dragner - that is the way I'm looking at it. I simply CRUSHED the Frost Dragon after adding Lenna and Vaan to my existing good characters, so I don't need WoL right now. Maybe down the road, he will grow to love me. And Cecil may just be the tank for me. You never know...
I'm excited for some more advanced content, and if there are gigantuars in the event, with star quartz as well? Yeah, I'll participate. I already have 35 Elixirs from stealing in the Colosseum, so I'm in pretty decent shape. I was just going to be leveling in the ADV Vortex anyway...
And ExDeath LB is what is crashing my game on IOS... It happened to me three times this morning when I was farming for Megacrysts with Rixa's ExDeath.

Did you TM farm the shrine as per usual?
Thank you! Couldn't believe it, I'm finally free haha. Just need to max out my team now. Give it one last go before the banner ends, then skip the next few banners. Best of luck. Your team still kicks ass anyway, especially with Vaan.
Making the care for Kuja...
His kit is lacking, according to many. However, I'm not sure I agree. Every mage is lacking something. Kefka is missing Firaga. ExDeath cannot equip robes. Golbez can't either, and is also missing elements. Terra is missing multiple elements, and cannot equip robes. If Tellah had boosted stats he'd be pretty damn great - love his LB.
Kuja is missing some elements, but has HIGH MAG, Graviga, and Absorb MP. Plus, he's just better looking than all of the others. I've currently sidelined Kefka to play with him instead, and I actually like him more.
So, Kuja is king on my team! Unless I run into a boss that is immune to Lightning, and then he'll be sidelined for a bit

UGGGGGGGG!
I meant to hit Refresh to get rid of all of my accepted mails. Instead I hit Claim All and now have 200 NRG to burn. :/

When that happens, force close the app, the server actually don't register your actions until you go to another screen.

I wish I'd posted immediately.
Thanks for the heads up, though. If it ever happens again I'll know better.
It happened to me once, I claimd like 30 NRG and it didn't go overlimit (at soft launch), closed the game and when I went back, all the message was unclaimed.I wish I'd posted immediately.

Sometime I also manage my team, switch equips and all, close the game and when I get back I have to do it again because I didn't click another menu x)

There is a whole lot of kneejerking going on in the Reddit atm over this event. People proclaiming the end of the world, dogs and cats living together, Exdeath, Kuja, and Emperor trysts, and all that nonsense.
In reality, people are pissed off because they believe the event is going to be similar to the demon heart event from last week, which is not that far from the truth. However, in this event (if it follows JP), insane quantities of materials are replaced with rare drop rates and low material requirements.
Just like the gravity rod, all of these rewards are incremental upgrades. Reddit is pissed off because the event is not handing out "I win" buttons to everyone on easy mode. The jewel of the event is the craftable HP +15% ability/materia, which requires farming a boss that is roughly as difficult as Demon Chimera (stats, resists, HP pool, etc). The kicker here is that the boss is only weak against earth and practically immune to everything else. So, the boss can either be burnt through extreme physical DPS (barrage, etc), or you can farm/craft multiple Stonra Blades to give everyone an ability that the boss is weak against (not that Reddit would ever think of that, all they are bitching about is why Stonra Blade is not AoE).
Should be an interesting event, at least for experimentation purposes. I can see myself farming at least 1 HP materia, depending on how rare the drops are. That said, if the drop is a "rare or nothing" drop from the boss, then wouldn't bringing a friend Locke increase the drop rates of the chest?
Thanks for the tip. Didn't know you could delete read messages. Was a pita going through them to use energy from 3 weeks prior.

Grats Xion!!! Knew your luck would turn around!
Two Espers at level 40...two more to go
So...
Turn 1: Cheer - Ultima - Full Break - Barrage - Barrage - Throw
Turn 2: Repeat
Turn 3: Trust bonus: Rainbow needle?

I just realized that I'm 90 exp away from ranking up, too.
Also, I did a pull and got a 4th Sabin. :/
Thanks Chilly! Not started farming for Esper upgrades yet, I presume you keep farming materials in Phantom Forest right? I'm looking forward to levelling them up.
Oh and that must have been so annoying Adawg! (Slightly amusing I must say). Must feel good to burn through it all at once though.
Funny hearing about the Reddit rage though..

Thanks...thats good to know.
Maria is... MEDIOCRE.
I wonder what will happen when the first Lightning banner will be released then :x
I for one look forward to the meltdowns because I know how numbers work and how unlikely it is to pull her. It's really not hard to understand, but I can see people sharpening their pitchforks already.

ROFL! Pretty much just like that. Everyone can do that, right?
What's the throw for? Just for kicks?
Lyrian
Member
Done and done. But, you appear to have Lenna up and not Locke?
Lyrian
Member
Nice!
I'm close to 40 on several of my espers myself. Debating between trying to finish them all off, or snoring through ADV XP vortex to try to get Lenna up to speed in case Curaja is needed for the next event. Bleh.
TheChillyAcademic

And what's nice too is the fact that you get so many damn ice megacrysts as trusts gifts it makes farming for rings even easier.
Dont worry, I have only 2 2* Espers (they aint maxed) and total of 4 Espers and I havent started 3rd Island
.This is mob mentality. The majority will downvote any level opinion that goes against the grain. It's almost scary at times.
But yeah, the subreddit has been fantasizing on the JP top shelf since the beginning, so any new unit or event that doesn't equal what we'll get 6 months from now is instantly shitty. The rod event was the most universally hated things I've seen in the sub. Now questions like "what do I do now ?" constantly arise, but suggesting grinding an event for +9 MAG is immediately shot down, in the favor of grinding rings that will give +0 to +2 attack compared to hyper wrists, because of "future proofing".
I honestly feel bad for the 100% future-proofing players. Because future proofing will never end. Every time we get a banner to catch up to JP, JP has a banner with a new powerhouse.

Yup ive been able to burn through content with no issue so far
Going to stick to my guns and focus on getting the units i love

Yeah, but I could only handle farming up to ~47%, I'll probably go back to TM farm for Locke/others once I've done some more farming. It really feels like I wasn't playing this game since all I did was farm for TM.

More mediocre than Fina? Fina having only Cura and Curaga doesn't seem like enough for anything remotely difficult.
