Yeah I think I'm done with the 1/2 price summons until more units come. 2 Russell's and a vivi... Better to save I guess.
As a player of the title, I do not hope its like that.
But as the asshole I am, I dearly look forward to it.
I did one yesterday, got Vivi and have decided to just not bother unless it's a banner which has something I really want.
I actually do rather like FFIX(second favourite FF even) but the units are all just so underwhelming. Wouldn't mind Zidane, but with those drop chances, what's the point.

Did you have to ask? :/
Will get #48 today and maybe #49 (by tomorrow at latest} - Colosseum silver trophies

Stonra Blade is one of those "good to have in your back pocket abilities". Earth elemental attacks are rare and difficult to come by. That said, outside of Ainsel in the current event, there is nothing on Global that really requires it... yet. However, Ainsel is quite weak to Stonra Blade, and significantly eases the difficulty of the encounter. Doubly so, if you have Stonra and can chain that into Stonra Blade for an Element Chain, making the encounter almost completely trivial.
Farming Earth Megacrysts is relatively easy outside of the event. They drop fairly commonly from the Westersand Exploration.
I think I'm leaning towards getting 2 of the 15% Hp abilities, but in no rush to make them. I can find Dragon Scales and Light Crystals any time. And I'll just keep the Pearls. Probably get enough for a few more too(4 Sounds good).
It's not like the recipe disappears, So I may see if they put out the next set of rings first.

You know who I really want now too, besides Ten no, is Terra!
Thanks for the advice, after reading your post I decided to pull the trigger and craft one. Hopefully it will speed up my goal of getting 5 +15% HPs.

Wait, who's the other ff13 base 5*?
FF13 banner:
Lightning - 5* ~ 6*
Snow - 4* ~ 6*
Vanille - 4* ~ 5*
Hope - 4* ~ 5*
Fang - 3* ~ 5*
Sazh - 3* ~ 5*
Other Lightning banner:
Charlotte - 3* ~ 5*
Ludmille - 3* ~ 5*
So which lightning banner are we getting?
Probably the first one.
Japan had the second one first that was much better.They also had a solo lightning 24h banner.

I'm in the same boat you are.
Stonra Blade is useful for in the Ainsel encounter for any physical units that do not have Barrage, or any other ultra damage move. For example, a Stonera Blade allowed my Lasswell to be something more than just dead weight during that fight. Note that Stonera Blade is not going to let you one shot Ainsel, because of her crazy high defense, but it will allow physical characters (like Lasswell) to do a bit more than a few hundred damage per round to her.
The real bottleneck of the HP +15% is going to be dragon and tough scales, as those come from places that most people do not farm because they do not drop components for Hero Rings.

44 here, haven't done any serious rank XP grinding... yet. Started at hard Global launch.
Ranking up slows down immensely around 30, and reaches a snail's pace by 40. It is a serious downer to rank up and then see that you need over 15k rank xp for the next level up.
Fun facts: Rank XP needed for the final level (99 -> 100): 34374. Total Rank XP required (1-> 100): 812048.
The best currently available exchange for energy to rank xp is 15 energy --> 500 rank xp. 812048/500 = 1625 runs of 2* esper/demon chimera. Ouch.
Honestly, if someone is at the rank cap (100) at the moment, then they have spent quite a serious amount of lapis on energy refreshes to get there.
But, to answer your question more directly, if a player is at the cap, then the only sources of free lapis are the dailies and briefly any new story areas that open as one-time rewards.

GIRL DON'T TELL ME HOW TO DO ME
If he's a Paladin he should be well versed in white mage rod use ; ;
I feel apprehensive for Kuja and to a lesser extent, Kefka in reference to 6* possibilities. I mean they passed over Golbez for FFIV and the Emperor in FFII was a base 5*
Cool detail I noticed is that Kefka's bottom most wing on Wings of Ruin isn't an angel wing but a dragons!
Thanks for the feedback, I just made rank 44 myself.
Maybe I have terrible luck, but there have been a few times in the promo vortex where I don't encounter a giant cactuar or King gil turtle after running around without getting any more encounters. After exiting the vortex, sometimes I get a black bar in the UI on top part of the screen where the rank and NRG info is. Has anybody else experienced this?
I'm rank 52 myself, spent a few days grinding Ifrit, saw some JP video with players at rank 113 and even 150.
This guy for example is 144.

Whoa, what is the current cap at? For some reason I thought the cap was 100.

I can't believe the trust master grind some of you are doing. I sat there yesterday and did it for awhile during my Stranger Things binge, and those percentage bars barely move. Half the time nobody even gains a .01%. It's freaking ridiculous. It's like the devs figured we'd get these things in a year, and that's IF we stuck with the same units. It's cray cray
hmmm the 1st one seems harder to get lightning
yeah thats the thing, also other FFXIII units are meh, Snow is okish, but probably the worst 6* tank, even Rain is probably better.
It should be 150, the reddit wiki has an rank exp table.
This is where macros come to play. You set it to where it automatically runs for you while you watch a movie or play some other games.
If you have a rooted Android device, there's an app you can download. If not, then you could download an emulator called Nox or Andy (for iOS I believe?) and make a macro there.
Yeah i wanted Lightning or Chizuru, I saved up to do maybe 20 summons.
yeah my nox macro has been running for 2 days, is super easy to set up and you can make the macro cycle each 230 seconds or so so it runs infinitely. Today Ive been on the beach while this game played alone, won 3% on each character. Just be sure to have enough room on your materials before starting, you will be getting a lot of crap.

JP cap is 150, Global is 100 (is increased via a later update).
I didn't know that was possible!
Also guys I made 8 new spots I'm trying to get the generous giver trophy as one more step to getting my hero ring recipe, guys add me Aurizen 445 543 659.
In the Japanese version there is a one per day vortex battle with 3 metal gigantuars and 3 king gil snappers
Video here.
They even give one megacite each, and that's not the best, it only cost 5 NRG!
Can't wait for it in 6 months x)
Same here except replace the beach with helping my little sister move. Close enough? My 2 Lockes, 2 Lunas and Cecil are creeping onto 20%, so at least it seems possible now. No way would I ever do this manually.
