New event is easy but Jesus it's just as shit as the BF event in terms of drop rate of gears. At least I got some Megacite and a Sacred Crystal from the boss to help. My Luneth/Exdeath/CoD can kill the last boss in 1 or 2 turns max so at least once I pull some of these shitty FF 13 units I can get some bonuses.
Iam aiming to this. Thats why I want cactuars so badly
. Got that rare Cactuar encounter thus netted ~1215 Gears from last run. About 4k Gear to go for Gilgy 100 .It's actually way worse, the rare encounter is always solo and give 500 instead of 1000.
Plus no 100% bonus unit.
Agreed.
Lower fixed drop, lower rare encounter units, no 100% bonus unit. Yeah worse event, yet.
Not farming this event, at least until Lightning gives bonus.

- Event is crazy easy, but terribad with drops. Lightning not being a 'bonus unit' is kind of nuts.

Event is really bad
Even if you ran a full team of bonus units it would still suck
At least its easy and drops megacites everytime
Time to max my espers

Actually. I have got 1 Sacred Crystal from boss instead of Megacite, once it was Holy Crystal (from 1st wave).
*chills*
Fought the same guy. Luckily his Luneths decided to use mostly Magic Breaks for two turns. And at least he doesn't have Cecil, right?

He almost raped me the first turn but then I used Gilgamesh's divider and with the golem staff, 2 luneths were paralysed. Then it went well from there.

I know, it's incredible. Seeing everyone complain on reddit, I wouldnt be suprised they change it somewhat. If they don't, well they dont care about their customers.

Yup this event is likely the worst one we have seen in a very long time
I'm not sure of the problem? If you have a bonus unit, and bring a friend bonus unit, that is enough for two gigantaurs. That's essentially like running the cactuar dunes. I'm concentrating on cactuars right now, and then next week when Lightning has a bonus as well, will abuse the crap out of the event for all the goodies.
I almost have Snow to 6* status...

If you feel satisfied about this event, good for you. But to most of us, it's a pure waste of time.
There's just no way in hell even getting that 30k moogle would be worth it, it's better to TM farm.
And it's also better to earn xp through the ff5 bridge or explorations.
The only reason to run this is 6* mats, since we cant get them anywhere else.

In a very long time? The worst event we've had (before this) was BF which was like 2 weeks ago lol.

Ehhh karma wasnt bad for me cuz i got enough metal gods to fsst track finish it
Plus i wss getting 1k a run normally
Now im getting 100 a run and have yet to see a bonus unit
Oh and the bonus is cut in half
I do like the megas and crystals dropping at least

Arena with no black magic is a nightmare. I may just auto-attack all week to get the rewards.
If I want the trust moogle for 30000 gears, I need about 2140 gears per day. I'm getting about 80 gears from each Pro run with 1 friend banner unit, so thats 26 runs a day - 260 energy per day. I'm feeling like I shouldn't even bother with this event - 14 days of TM farming should get me a lot more trust 0_0

Yeah for me it went very well as wellI had a much high ratio of metal gods than most (average was 15 for 100 runs, I had 20 for 77 runs). And I had 2 bf units luckily (plus friend elzas).
But the fact it gave you trash drop rate, relied on rng for you to get a decent rate, and it required banner units that were all 4* base or higher made it the worst event from an objective point of view imo.
Obviously Gumi's solution was the cut the drop rate in half and decrease the unit bonuses lol. Sigh...
The event items should be worth getting though, right? Otherwise why have the event?
Sadly my sample is still too small and this all can be purely RNG.
I have done ELT 8 times
- Used 2x 75% Bonus units in every fight.
- Killed 8 Manasvin Warmechs (unit nr 234).
- I have met 2 rare Cactuars
- I have bought 45 Cactuars from Mog King
- I have 65 gears left.
= 4565 Gears sofar when counting initial gear reward & some from earlier floors.

The only thing better about this event is that the units have some 3*s otherwise this is the worst event we have had by far those two Trust Moogles are the epitome of wasting your time. I am probably done farming until Lightning comes for her bonus personally.

ffs Gumi.
"Bonus" units, right, more like "required units"

I have run it 7 times with no Cactaurs.
I am just getting the cheap summon tickets and then going back to TM farming
Yup, I grab the cactuars then wait for the week 2.

Same here. I needed the mats for Gilgamesh, then the mats for CoD. Now all I need is to grab the cheapest tickets and that's it. Back to ff5 bridge and tm farming.

Man, that's really stupid.
Think this is my plan too.

Anyone have a link to a good website that shows what the up coming banners are?
I dont feel like wasting my tickets for Snow if I know that in a weeks time there are going to be some crazy cool DPS units coming. I am missing a good DPSer.

There is always this : https://exviuswiki.com/Update_Schedule#Japanese_Banner
We missed : Hope, Fang (XIII) / Ace, Jack, Seven, Trey (Type-0) / Mercedes (BE) / Secret of Mana so far
You can look for banners starting 11-May-2016
How difficult are pro / elt? I was wondering what units I should bring or that are useful for it. I also want to try and bring my worthless snow if possible.
