Is this proven?

Your guess is as good as anyone's. Given that JP has never repeated an event, it is **probably** a safe assumption that the leftover mats can be sold. If the event ever does come back for some reason, it's not like the non-flour mats were hard to farm anyways.

seems to be the case for me so far. I noticed it only used osmose after i healed, just beat again now without using any magic and no osmose.

He's absolutely right...except it seems his drain becomes more powerful. He one shot my fucking Cecil with it lol

So i went into earth shrine to practice and it seems very tricky to pull off
Even then the element chain isnt being carried on all the hits. I think you need several casters and space out the casts but it all happens so fast that i have no clue how much damage he really does on the chain strikes

Reddit seems to believe so, and no one has dissproved it yet. Anecdotally, it worked for me as well on the few runs I tested it.
Reddit ProTip of the New Hour: Don't have high end gear or TMs? No problem! Bring three people (including friend) that can cast Blizzara (-ga is possible, but trickier). Equip your healer with the Ice Rod (Colosseum INT-D-4), and your tank with the Icebrand (Earth Key 24, Wolfsgang Exploration). Proceed to cast Blizzara x5 **manually**, clicking in rapid order from weakest caster to strongest caster [if possible] (you get 1/2 second to fire off the next spell to keep the chain going). Elemental Chain x5 ending with the strongest caster (usually the friend unit) will make short work of the Gigas and Ogre.
Seems to be legit. I only brute force my way through all three battles and the slime never osmoses me ever.
I'll try this.

man you people doing more than 1 sword are insane, all that goddamn lumber

Yea, it pains me knowing how much lumber I've sold. Lol
One is enough for me. I have enchancer. Excalibur on its way. My only melee is Chizu and she can't even use sword.
Same. I have plenty of units who can use the sword (3/5 party members), but so much other good gear in tm that I only really want the 1. Man I swore I wasn't even going to farm this event. Oh well.
It could be beneficial to have more, since it is a fairly easy weapon with solid stats to get.
I dislike using the term, but it has a lot of potential later down when better Physical damagers come in since Sword is the most common weapon usage. Our issue is right now with Chizzy and CoD's very limited pool.
I do daily runs through Earth Shrine Explor. so I had a couple lying around anyways. Current ore count at 130. Might do one more run when my stamina creeps back up to 16. Then I set it to farming mode.
Easy? *throws lumber*
Yes it is beneficial to have more, there's no doubt about that.
But farming for the materials i think is too much. 480 lumbers just for 1 sword.
If you have the stomach for it, that's great. For me, I'd rather farm TM than lumbers forever.
Well, a TM is based upon luck, plus a lot more time and farming.
Xaio, Locke, Cecil, Miyuki, are all rare 3*. Kain is the only common.
You realize you don't have to farm them during the event right?
Anyone else feel like they are speed running? Maybe it's just me because I've been watching some FF6 speed runs with tons of smoke bombs being used. Also I just got 5x Cavern Ore from one node. There goes my luck for pulls.

I realize that, but it's going to take me like 80+ runs through Earth Shrine exploration.
Which takes less than a day. 2% of a TM.

Ok I just got smushed in the pro level of this event. What's up with these levels? -- seems like every single enemy is wearing lead I can't pierce.
Using:
5* lvl 59 Garland
5* lvl 54 Leo
5* lvl 70 Kuja
5* lvl 55 Fina
5* lvl 52 Terra
.. and I felt like I was fighting way way out of my league.

Halfway to level 2 because I got him to 5* before I knew this was a thing.
The 5* Cecil I have had since launch is 1/20. The 3* Cecil I have is 6/10. I would suggest maxing out his LB before awakening to 4*, if you really want the most out of him. Still awhile before his 6* comes out.
Yes, doublehanded down, and right to the vault waiting for Garland 6star.
To all people having problems with the pro cave: Use a healer with a LB that heals all the party. (Lenna or Roselia)
That is crucial because you will fill lb gauge pretty easy and that will help you to survive and attack normally, and save MP for the 3 bosses.
Another thing is that if you dont want to suffer, bring a OP friend. For preference, one with barrage and dualwield. That will help you (at this point of the game, theres almost everybody with an OP friend in their lists)
Nice! I wish I could find a Bartz for my Garland as well, but he's an elusive one.
Don't awaken him!

Unlike the mogcake event the only item you need to collect is 80 cavern ores from the PRO difficulty in order to craft the sword. Everything else you can collect at a later date, so if you are trying to just get the items you need only focus on the special event ore before the event ends.
As for battling in the event:
You can skip all battles while working your way through the collecting points by using escape
When fighting the giant amoeba avoid using magic and you can conserve having to use supplies to recoup hp/mp. I usually have someone use full break and then use a combination of barrage, regular attacks and some TMs. I'll cure right before the end of the battle and then roll into Boss #2 with fullish characters
The Hills Giga/Ogre people fight a few different ways depending on their characters. Magic teams use elemental chains to bring down the enemies quick, melee squads use abilities such as raging fist and light shell to deal damage to them. Cheer / Provoke and curing has been useful for me.
Bring a tent to use as well. I use one right after boss 2 and before 3 to go in fresh and to not worry about anything.
I'm sure there are better strategies out there than what I've been doing, but it has been working for me thus far and my clear times have improved so I'll stick with it.
75/80 ores. I think I might try for a second one especially considering it has a blinding effect that might be useful and I'm sure I will have additional sword users down the line. Right now I have my Enhancer on Golbez as no one else can equip it. I'll probably put this sword on the WoL I pulled today.

Thanks, will do it then.
Yes. In JP a garland with 5 doublehanded equipped (1 innate 4 materias) can give garland 1000 atk.
Unfortunally in global you cant equip 2 same materias like Doublehanded or Blade Mastery, but if you have the ability innate, you can equip an extra materia of the same type.
So Garland in Global can equip 2 doublehanded.
You'll want to farm the TM for Cecil, so having him in the party and clicking the monsters one by one means more crystals and more LBs during the farming. I was nearly getting him to use his LB every time I did a run so if you get him to 100% TM you'll have a ton of LB XP by that time. I also got a lot from farming stuff like Phantom Forest. The last event farming Dwarves' Forge got me a ton of LB experience too. Anywhere you use Auto (with Auto-Limit on) helps. The biggest factor is to keep Cecil at 3* though. Oh, and I did get all the LB pots from the Mogcake event. That was a good couple of levels there in XP.

Nice, already doing doublehand in my tm farming. Will also equip him with barrage.

I'm in a similar position. I rerolled at soft launch for a Cecil and 5*'d him immediately to help carry my team. Then I learned about LB grinding. I pulled a second 3* Cecil during the Mog event and had him on my Coast/Forge exploration party the whole time. He's now at 2.5/10.
I plan to make the 5* -> 6* when the time comes, while continuing to slowly LB grind up my 3*. Both will be TM'd eventually, as well.
1 fine blade need 20 lumbers, and you need to craft 18 fine blades, that's already 360
Yes, you can buy the broadswords. Just about any weaponsmith should have them
I probably will still do it manually, but I need to look into this just to see how it works.
Damn we got nerfed.

Wtf, the Hill Gigas in the Pro exploration is so tough. His Magnitude 8 does massive damage. The difficulty spike jumped up a lot. How the hell are you supposed to beat him lol?
