New beach for me by far. Seems to have a much higher drop rate, is a straight line run, and can be auto-battled through mindlessly as it doesn't have those stupid, physical resistant gravestones in it.

Cool, thanks. Farmed a bunch of Fire and now need the Ice to go with it.

Beach is generally better as a total package. Not completely sold that it drops more ice megas than Wolfsgang or the Marsh, but it is a hell of a lot easier to farm by far. Strong rank xp per run is a big plus as well.
I'm actually losing a few hours of the day due to day annoying "Dayly Quest completed". Server restarts 5 in the morning for me, damm!
I'm actually saving lapis and those stamina bottles, so... I guess I'm getting a good average!
ps: by the way, I was saying you were cheating! I'm just really impressed!
This is actually a really smart thing to do. More slots will be invaluable in the future, so best to get that done now while the rates are still bad.
Congrats on the Zidane. I want him.
Maybe I'll get lucky and snag him while I fail to get Lightning.
We all want a Zidane.All I want is zidane....
So the beach drops Fire Megacrysts too? I'd love it if I could get a one-stop shop for farming these things.

Whenever I feel like my day is starting to go bad, all I need to do is just turn to Reddit. After a few minutes, I don't feel anywhere near as bad anymore.
Pray sir or madam, can you tell me if some random 5* base that won't be released for at least 4-6 months in Global will be future proof?
Which Altema 95+ rating unit is the best to save up for, because that is the only unit I want to pull in this game and I need to save up all my tickets and lapis to pull that unit only!
My mathematically convoluted way to perform <action> is marginally more efficient than the standard method everyone for obtaining <thing>, therefore everyone else is an idiot and bask in my superiority!
I swear at this point, I think at least half of Reddit is just trolling everyone who asks the first two questions for the laughs.
The last point is equally laughable. Grats to the person who found out that yes, the Beach in Dirnado can be used as superior powerleveling zone for units because it is easy. But, of course, fully clearing an exploration takes 15-20 minutes versus 30 seconds in ADV Vortex or Cactaur Dunes. Several pages of arguing ensued.
If I was still younger, I'd weep for humanity. Nowadays, nah. Where's that kermit sipping tea gif?

Fire comes from the Dwarven Forge exploration on Dirnado. Great rank xp there (equal to 2* esper farming), but a pain in the ass to navigate for the nodes (on the other hand, if all you want is the rank xp, its another straight line like the beach) as they are well off the beaten path. Plus, bombs everywhere :/. Westersand is still the easier run for fire megas.

Thank you Cactuar dunes. Maxed all my pulled characters (14, not a great amount tbh) except Beadile and a 3rd Shantotto.
Thanks!
I guess I'll stick with Westersand then, until something better comes up. I really just want the Fire Megacrysts (I need more Hero Rings ASAP!).
Didn't think a question on facebook would result in black choppers paranoia and facebook data mining.
As long as it doesn't max out. You're not losing anything. Typically, I don't mind it. Since I keep a tight window, once that comes around. It lets me Energy get to a point where I can run my dailies.

I've had pretty good luck with Westersand these past two days. I got 20 Megas rather quickly. I had a couple times where I went a couple runs with nada but then the game would give me multiple after that to make up for it. I was mad after three runs in a row with nothing and then the game gave me 5 on the next run haha Just stick with it and they'll rack up.
As for Ice, I did three runs on the beach and only the first node ever gave me one but it did so all three times so I can't complain about getting one each time and I'll love the rank xp since I'm playing catch up on rank level.

Yeah.... we're kind of moving past that now for the sake of sanity. Also, <insert reference here about the implications of looking behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz>.
Sounds good!
I'll probably farm myself a few FMC and then head on over to the beach for those IMC and Rank XP. Truth be told, I need to increase my rank a bit too, so that'll be another benefit spending some time there.

Maxed my Exdeath, Golbez, Kefka, WoL, Lenna, Cecil, and Terra. Got my Celes to 4* and banking cactuars for her and 4* Tellah (who needs Sacred Crystals...). Got 5* Zidane to 60. Did a #yolo pull... rainbow crystal... 5* Gilbert.
I think I'm going to burn Lapis on cactuars to get my 5* Locke to 80, just so I can share a useful unit for you all.

it really doesnt matter much at this point of the game what unit you put as leader, the important thing is send daily gifts everyday

I have a rule of around a week (maybe a little more, depending) before I remove a GAF member from my Friend List. The way I figure, if they haven't logged in for that long, or made a post here saying why they've been away, in that time-frame then they're probably not too serious about the game.
I hate doing it, but when Friend slots are limited, there's not much you can do.

That's me and my Leo ; ;
I hate TM farming because my Nox keeps randomly crashing after a while, clicks that have worked 4643 times before suddenly don't register for some reason pretty much screwing everything up, and I also have other games to play to pay full attention to this so I forget about it for hours.
At this point I might as well just wait for trust moogles.

I finally beat S-5 Frost Dragon at Rank 47. Special thanks to wilstreak and Lyrian for their advice!
Team:
Exdeath
Fina
Artemios
Kefka
Celes
It was a close one.. It started off rough when Exdeath got confused within 2 turns. I tried using Kefka to attack Exdeath, but mistakenly hit the button and wasted a physical attack on the dragon. Fina already used a cura so Artemios was forced to attack and almost killing Exdeath (weakness) to avoid confusion. Luckily he survived and I was able to use Celes to cura the team. My main physical damage dealer Artemios goes down half way through the fight. Fina goes down as the dragon's health goes red and I'm just left with Celes with enough mana to run one more focus or cura. Kefka is out of mana with hyperdrive, but was able to stack elemental damage with his Fira and Exdeath's Firaga to do enough damage to finish the dragon off. It was like sweating bullets in Top Gun as it got to the Danger Zone and fist pumping once victory was achieved.
Cheer + Focus really helped. I'm also glad I grinded out and I threw an +20% MP on Kefka and +10%MAG on Exdeath.
1/2 Summon pull of the Day was 4* Shadow.

Grats on the epic win!
That really sounded like almost the same play-by-play as my winning run. At some point, you realize that Hyperdrive wasn't going to cut it, everyone is running on fumes, and your main physical DPS gets cheap shotted halfway through the fight.
And then, at the end, you gamble it all on a hail mary that does just barely enough to seal the deal. So good.
**THAT** is what makes this game so rewarding. You can't reach this level of player engagement in a standard match-3 gacha game.
