Blew all my lapis chasing Lightning for the hell of it. 2x Ludmilles, 1x Bartz. All i got for my 8000 lapis.
Ah okay, does it come during the end of the month?
My friends are all weak so I can't really do much. I wish I didn't use my cactuar on garbage units

you can wait for the friend summon special event. There you can summon cactuars too.
I have 999 friend summons waiting. I cant even get more friend points because the game tolds me that i will be wasted because i reached the max lmao.

Ah okay I'll save up. I really dislike it when gacha games make character XP hard to get. It's just extra grinding for no reason.
So I've finished the Colosseum and the story. No idea now what to prioritize or do in-game. I guess I could slowly grind out TMs but I haven't figured out the NOX thing. I could continue farming for Hero Rings or rank ups. So there's all that buts no specific thing sticks out for me to work towards.
I guess I could finish up farming lumber for the second Shining Splendor but that just sounds boring and I still need 140-some left.

Most of it sarcasm I guess. But her TM is useful in the future to equip Abel's TM dagger.
Who is happy about Penelo?
There are so posts from page to page congratulating her pull, but I guess it is sarcasm.
Me. Tho I need that Abel's TM (first I need Abel ofc to be released
).It's niche for sure but there are far worse ones.
Got my 4th Locke today... I guess I can pimp out my second CoD too??

Man leveling up Characaters is a chore. Just gonna TM grind which is yet another chore. Will be nice to get gungnir and barrage as well dual wield.
How are you doing it? You're using Nox?
ES then item use then repeat? You're doing it overnight?
I just added it into my TM farm macro. First turn selects potions for the lot.
Realistically, how much Lapis are we supposed to get from story/ranking up? I'm surprised by how little we get compared to other gacha games. 100 lapis is basically 1/50 of a multi and we get that after 3-4 missions. That's really slow lol. I guess the 100 from rank up helps but I feel like you'll be lucky to get 3 multis from the story whilst I've seen other gacha games give up to 10 multis from story premium currency.
I'm probably missing something lol.
I'm probably missing something lol.
The paltry 50 lapis from completing all six daily quests is a joke too.
I'm bothered by this too, in the beginning we were showered by lapis, but the new content requires a ridiculous amount of energy to even play the game, it will be REALLY hard to get a decent amount of lapis for pulls.
What are exaclty the rewards of missions and the battle arena?

Same here. Nearly 5k now. It helps so much to incorporate potion use into the TM grind macro. I had only ~200 when I first started a few days ago.
Can you ever have too much MAG 30? Me and my 7 Shantottos think not!
Daily 1/2 pull was Locke! It's my first one so I'm happy. I'll add him to the list of characters I need to level next week. I'm just cruising by on auto pilot doing chamber of crystals to take a break from the grind for the weekend. I'm also using the time to play forza horizon 3 and having fun
Missions give you lapis most of the time, like this :
It's little objectives like don't use items/finish the boss with a limit/etc..
Every stages will get those so get ready to redo the whole story once this update hits Global.
PvP arena's reward are listed here : https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/wiki/arena#wiki_rewards
Include stat pots and trust moogles.
We dont know how Gumi handles these, but in JP:
- PVP gives some Lapis.
- Missions are tasks in story quests.
If I remember right its 3 missions per story quests netting total of 100 Lapis per story q.
For example: "Dont use magic", "Use ice spells only", "0 Deaths" and so on.
Edit: Slow
In JPBE, the mission system was implemented. Basically each stage (all of them, from the very beginning) have 4 missions you must achieve.
each mission gives you 40, 20, 20, 20 lapis, for a total of 100 lapis for each stage.
The missions are like "complete stage without dying" "use blizzard in this stage" "complete stage without limit breaks" "defeat boss with a limit break" and something like that.
So when the mission system arrives, there will be plenty of lapis to grind.
Arena system is just like that. PVP that give you a ranking and each week depending of the ranking you get rewards like tickets, lapis, trust moogles, etc.

So is the consensus that sticking an earring on one of your mages is the right thing to do? Lol
So, these missions will give a limited amount of lapis and we will have the same problem we have right in due time. This game pales even to Mobius when it comes to giving us currency
Well the first island alone give 3800 lapis with the missions. That's actually a lot.
EDIT : the second island is about 6500 lapis. Combine that with the first and that's 2x 11 pull already.

Can't wait for this.

The game has given you more than 20000 lapis and like 30 summoning tickets in its first 4 months. Not counting level up and map clears.
The problem is not the currency. The problem is bad RNG and not know how to spend lapis wisely.

It begins...
Which is nice, but not reliable in the long run. But I'm sure they will keep updating the game with new means to get lapis, so that's fine I guess. Still, this game in general is not currency friendly as most gacha games put there.
This is not even my first week playing so I didn't know this, it is actually fair tbh. I'm not concerned anymore, thanks.

Just pulled a 4* Ludmille on my daily 1/2 pull. That makes 2 Luds and 2 Charlottes now.

As soon as I entered it, I went back to see if Dilmagia was opened up. Probably not required. But in Ambel, past the Chocobo Farm, there's a required scene that advances the plot. Just keep going west.
Decided to finally start working on item whiz trophy and I'm already at 1200 uses/10000, but wow it's really costly.
Yes for the normal rate, and if I understand it correctly, it's 5% when you use a super rare 4* tickets.

That brave frontier memories XD
the rate of yellow crystals is 1,5%
rate of rainbow crystals are 0,5%
In this rate up i assume lightning was higher because there were no base 4star units in the batch.
But in the FFXIII banner (lightning - Snow - Vanille - Sazh - hope) Snow and Vanille are base 4star, so i expect lightning drop rate be like 0,5% - 0,3%
Edit: right now in JP:
FFX banner:
Tidus: 0,5%
Riku : 4,75%
Wakka: 20%

Hi I don't think we've met!
GO TO HELL
I just noticed that BE is almost only mobile game I play.
Really bored to PAD (been playing over 400 days). Stopped Granblue Fantasy (too much grind that forces you to use computer). Stopped Brave Frontier EU, cause latest update corrupted my phones wlan all the time and didnt download full.
My pad playing is nowadays, I try some dungeon and I die and I close pad and try something else tomorrow. i.e. so bored to game that I dont bother to even check from padx what I should use in xxx dungeon. Either I clear "random" dungeon (5% of time) or I die (95% of time). I know most of the problem is in me (boredom), but I would say that there is something wrong in game if you need to use 3rd party webpage to check what you need to do in every non trivial fight, if you dont check your chances to die are close to 100%.
In BE Iam ok with grind cause I can take phone with me to every place in home country and just use mobile network as much as I like. And the grind I do helps me get awesome items, unlike in GBF where grind is totally rng dependant (also GBF UI is straight from arse).
Well that just leaves more time to grind in BE.
