Woah. Yeah, as a F2Per that doesn't really grind TM I want/need this banner now.
I know we can't go 1:1 from JP, but, would this banner theoretically be soon? I might not pull anything til this one.

People are estimating maybe 3 weeks or so, maybe more.

I totally love this too. The rank exp is my favorite part of this event.

Where is the best rank exp again?

The regular dungeon before Elite...Pro.

Is Pro the best place to farm Auracite too, if you can't clear ELT reliably? Or would I get more doing ADV exploration?
Hippopuncher12

Yes, if you can't do Elite do Pro. It is the 2nd highest in Auracite albeit it's about half of Elite but still better than everything else and it has the highest Rank/NRG ratio.

You get anywhere from 41 to 50 for completing a run in Pro. Haven't done exploration farming. Just farmed Pro.
The most reliable way for me is to use a Lightning friend summon (Lvl 100, of which I am very thankful to have a few of). Man-eater not necessary in that situation but can still help if their attack is low. But yeah, PRO has been most of my runs too.
If anyone cares, the Archers in Pro and Elite have the potential of dropping auracites, worth 3 and 10 respectively. There are 3 in Pro and 4 in Elite (both battles 1, 3, and 4). That's why you get a range of 41, 44, 47 or 50 drop in Pro and 81, 91, 101, 111, or 121 in Elite.
I run Elite if I have a Lightning friend on the list. Pro otherwise, I don't mind it since I get to level up 4 other characters in Pro.

It's been a good morning
Cleared ADV B-1: 500 Lapis
Gold Gift Receiving Trophy: 500 Lapis
Prepare for 6* Daily: 100 Lapis
Rank Up: 100 Lapis
Daily Participation Reward: 50 Lapis
-----------------
Morning Total: +1250 Lapis
Not too shabby for first few hours of the day!
1. This was my exact day earlier this week. Such a good feeling!
2. GUESS WHO HAS CHIRIJAIRADEN IN THE OVEN
So other than daily logins, I've been busy away from this game so I wanted to know how screwed I am.
For both the light shield and katana, will the ingredients be available later on or is it just for this event? I cleared the dungeons so I have the single ingredients given as the reward but I don't have the mats that you would trade in for.

From what I have read here, just for this event. So far there have been no repeats. You need to get auracite (the ELT battle gives the most) and trade it to the moogle king to get them

You have 9 days left to earn them. If you can manage to clear PRO, you can earn more than 1K auracite per day. It's 3700 for all the katana ingredients and 1200 for the shield.
Shorter: you have plenty of time if you can start in the next couple days.
Longer: Judging from other event weaponry, my guess is you'll wait a long while before event-specific ingredients to forge event-specific weapons pop up again, if ever.
I HAVE 9 DAYS LEFT?!
OH FUCK YEAH!!!!
I thought it was going to be over by Thursday night, Friday Morn.
I decided on my ALT account that has weaker units to just run PRO all day long. Even with Lightning friend, because in order to solo ELT, Lightning should be 500+ attack and have Diabolos Man-Eater. I never lose when farming PRO.
The plan currently is to get the sword, shield, 2/3 of the tickets, SQ, and as many 6* mats for Lightning as possible. Not sure I will be able to complete the mats, but I will have a jump on the next event and its mats, so I can level her and any other lucky 6* at that time. By then, the account should be in a lot more solid footing with units. I was having trouble keeping up with the ALT account, but by the end of the event it should easily be rank 40+ because of the awesome rank experience. The really painful part is going after the trophies again. Don't quite have everything for farming HR yet, but I'm close
My primary is easy to run - I just check it every four hours or so, run ELT, run the Colosseum, and then let it recharge. Only time-waster is doing dailies for both accounts early in the morning.

My standard summon pool has been building from friend points, and I'm at the point that I could summon something like 25 standard units. Is there any reason to do that at this point? I'm assuming that they are pretty pointless after a while and would only serve to sell or if you are gung-ho about building collections, but please let me know if there is a good use for them.
Hippopuncher12

The only real reason to summon the standard units is to either level and sell them or level and awaken them for the trophy. They will have an enhanced friend summon at certain points that will have Gil Snappers/Metal Cactuars in there.
I took that guy out in one round with a Lightning with 448 ATK last night. Got the achievement for 300,000 damage in one round, too. That guy didn't stand a chance. Cheer + Lightning = dead.
I really wish they would do something interesting with Friend Points. They seem totally pointless and not worth bothering with.
crazyivan19
Member
That's true. During some of the events I remember pulling cactuars. So maybe I'll just hold on to them until then to at least get something useful from the pulls.
Agreed. There's zero reason right now to care one whit about friend points. Or, at least, none that I've found.

I played this during the "the japanese version now has english" part of the release , liked it, and then got pulled away so I'm behind
I'm working on the story stuff still, which I'm guessing i'll need to do first anyway.
My question is:
Is there anything I should be doing as well as story stuff? due to daily rewards and all that I have about 150 energy over my cap.
my first 5* was an exdeath who I think is pretty good?(or he was, at least)
I just got a 3* alma but she's apparently terrible?
My party is:
Ex-Death 5* (leader)
Penelo 3* (FFT dancer)
Edgar 3*
Rain 2*
Leah 2*

You can get a bunch of nice TMs from the units you pull with the points:
HP+10%
Stone Killer
Aquan Killer
Dragon Killer
Raging Fist
Camouflage
And then as was mentioned, Gil Snappers and Metal Cactuars are useful too.

Hah! I totally forgot about that! I've been plunging through with my normal team. I haven't died or anything, but each fight has taken longer than expected. Next time I'll plug in Amarant and raise the bejeebus out of them. Thanks!
So I got the SQ, Tickets and Sword by doing the elite runs
Now I am going to do the Pro Exploration until the event ends. Stock up on goodies while still earning a bit of the Mog currency. With what I have come the end of the event I will either do the shield or just grab a few 6* mats.
Feels good having a plan instead of just mindless grinding

Didn't have any problems but I had to do the last round manually to time my elemental chain right but not anymore. Just hit repeat on the 6 fights
Edit: that's for when I don't have a lvl 100 lightning friend, if I do well she's useless.
No chance in hell. Unless they want to really skip a few things.
But we should have XIII and IV Events first, plus FFBF, and the Halloween. And a good chance the Type-O event.
Even if they want to rush, you're looking at 4 weeks. But I would say month and a half to two.

Oh they will totally do FFIII around Christmas, they want people to spend like crazy lol
I'm loving PRO. I've been doing it since the event started and I think I've gained 6 ranks. From 45 to 51.
People that managed to get Lightning to 100 so quick, totally jelly~ that 50k+ a level over 90 is brutal... slowly getting there~
Should have the mats for the katana by the end of the day. Outside of the dailies, I can't break away from doing Pro, 8 rank ups so far and we still have a over a week... HALPP!

You still have one more day, you never know! I have a good feeling about the new banner
Good thing you just bring one of the many on your friendslist huh?
Can I be jelly to the person who has two?
Ooooh Ammy gets Raise? Didn't realize that, apparently I finally have someone that can raise! (eventually)

As others have said in the thread by now, PRO is much more generous than ELT for rank xp.
Provoke isn't 100%, sadly. So, that will happen sometimes.
At the 6 hour mark for energy refills, it is **very** nice not to have to look at the phone so often.
Sarah is the equivalent of casting focus, but only costs 8 MP instead of 48, so it can be cast every fight without penalty (which Celes/Vaan can't do without running out of MP).
