That pretty big increases, guess we'll have to switch leader for each Moogle King event when it'll hit Global.

So after weeks and weeks of only logging in to collect rewards due to boredom from awful pulls, I finally got a good random pull by getting Ramza which finally kind of makes me want to play again. Is there a special way to get the mats to get him to six stars or is it just a ridiculous grind in that event?
If you only did the grind for the 6 star mats, and nothing else... You'd easily finish before the end of the week.

All of FB? Perhaps from the start of the fight.
Test #8 in B-5 become immune to FB at half life.
Took my first ADV loss on the A-3 boss. Couldn't get any significant debuffs to stick, despite it not having any resistances to them. It's highly resistant to Power Break and can pretty much one-shot everyone all at once if debuffs don't land on the first round.
Have two more swords to make for Shining Splendor. ^_^
I will have Exaclibur, Shining Splender, Chiri, Enhancer, and Gungnir all within the next week. If I had another DW, I'd be sitting pretty,
I think I'll also go for Rank 60 this week. Get matts for my 6* too and level up my Char, Garland, Kefka, WoL(2x), and Goblez some more. Finished topping off my Kyrie too.

This is actually really cool. I like having the opportunity to use a thematic party to take on their respective series encounters. Having to think about team composition instead of throwing overpowered characters at a boss or event is great.
Congrats! Your party is going to be well equipped soon.

Grats on the sweet impending loot.
Got my revenge on the Monster Effigy the second time around.
More accurate notes on it:
-- Taunt first, worry about breaking it later. It will one-shot squishy healers and mages.
-- It can be power broken, but it is extremely resistant to power break. Maybe in the 70%+ range. Don't rely on it and count it a convenient blessing should it land.
-- The Effigy has an AoE that it will use almost every round, called Sandstorm. It is **wind** element, not earth [that was my mistake the first time]. Without Baraerora, everyone is going to die, especially the tank, who has Golem on for provoke which makes him/her weak to it. Everyone is still going to take 1000+ damage with Baraerora up plus its other attacks that round.
-- It has no resistance to debuffs, so they need to be exploited.
*** Silence prevents Sandstorm from occurring.
*** Blind prevents Charge and Romp from landing. [Romp may one-shot healers/mages]
*** Paralyze prevents.... well everything. Land this one if you can.
No special events at low life that occur.
So, keep it on the tank at all times, keep baraerora up all all times [must be up on turn 1], and burn like hell once one of the major debuffs sticks.
Aren't the bosses in A1-3 also immune to FB?
Got bored (again) -_-"
Easy tip for this boss especially for this AOE, without Barstonra, equip everyone with Gaia Gear(3000gil at shop)
That Aoe wont kill you.
Equip tank with Mirage Vest/Suit.
Turn 1 Provoke, turn 2 use Mirage and cycle between both.

Resistant, but not immune. Mainly resistant (at least 50%) to the attack break and not the others.
Oh yeah it will.
Everyone will be dead outside of the tank. Sandstorm is wind element, not earth element. Gaia gear creates a wind vulnerability, not a resistance. Face tanking Sandstorm is about 2000-2500 damage per unit at base damage.
Didn't pass it until I started buffing wind and not earth.
Much, much easier to land a blind/silence/paralyze and just burn it to the ground in the three rounds you get while its debuffed.
EDIT: Double verified - one of the trash mobs in A-4, the Fossil Dragon, also casts Sandstorm. Blocked by wind resist, not earth.
EDIT 2: Note to self, tried to triple verify for some reason and got caught facetanking a Sandstorm without wind resist up. Party nearly got 1 shotted (everyone took 2200 damage, same as the Effigy). Always have wind resist up if the Fossil Dragon spawns for that encounter.
Have the current main go all out on the next banner to give it a last hurrah?
Lol. Maybe on the next banner, I'm saving up for 1 last 5k pull. Only 3k Lapis right now.
Awesome congrats !!
And yeah you will be able to farm the 6* Awakening materials on upcoming events - no need to rush it. Getting a 5* to lvl 80 takes enough time on its own.
Grats
Great pull indeed.Yup, better opportunities later events to grab 6* mats. Almost every unit has the same mats but different amounts.
Alt daily Rydia :&
At this pace Rydia will get 5* before I have some other good units for alt
. Thus prolly slapping it later to party Iam trying to get 5k Lapis to alt and do 10+1 at some banner.
Chorizo / Golbez / Zidane / Mustadio / healer pls...
Congrats man!
Daily summon, Sabin. The only half-useful I've received, from both this banner and the last, was a single Alma and Mustadio. My luck is horrible.
I can only hope things turn around for the banners I'm really looking forward to.

When you don't have a healer at all, Clyne's cura can get by in a pinch
Pay your dues now, so later you get at least part of what you want right?
That's the hope!
I'd like to think I'm doing the same, but in reality... probably still paying for that Lightning~
Good news is that Iam doing event, havent unlocked Fina in the story (and I try to avoid using Fina).When you don't have a healer at all, Clyne's cura can get by in a pinch
Bad news is that I cant craft Cura nor I dont have Clyne
. I do have 3 Almas but not sure is it worth the effort to Awaken it to 4* at this point (low on SC). I might do that later after this event is done.Alt is mostly doing ADV exploration and sometimes (if I get Bonkengs L) PRO quest
.I want my Ifrit to 2*
First trial dragon was fun. It was DPS race, didnt have healer there either but managed to get Murasame at first try, Chizuru landed Paralyze, Golbez didnt land Biora
. Also alt got the mats for Katana and baking it
.Main daily Fran, she has now 60% TM :/
Thanks! Good to know. Ramza's already 73 with all the Metal Gigantuars that I've farmed from the maze event. Might use the Dunes event to get the remaining levels in.
Hopefully the next event doesn't upgrade Cecil to 6*. I'd like to focus on one unit at a time so I can still try to get some cool event equipment in the process!
Yup got him again with my Daily today too.
what is the name of your alt?
i hear you... honestly Ramsa would be neat but I don't really need him, so I'd rather put those tickets and lapis towards some upcoming banners... but staying strong is hard. I might do dailies once in a while... other than that, I must stay strong.
Ok, was wondering why I had a request suddenly x)
Bonkeng
My main was BonGAF.
Lol. You and Valentus are full. I have to remove both of you from main so I can send a request from my alt
I got my second Mustadio with daily pull.
It's not Clyde or Anzelm so I'll happily take it.
Thanks for reminding me I need to do my monthly FL cleanup.

Yay!
Mine just hit 74% last night after missing four days for Alma Team farming. I got my first Lordly robe last night.
Soon I'll have Dual Wield and I can begin working on Black Cowl, Minerva Bustier and two Bracers. My Fencer will be godly someday... Two bad she didn't get a Moonblade though. Have to settle for weakling in game swords.
I think after getting Dual wield my next goal is Sakurafubuki, I have 5 Miyuki's with one already at 10%.
Then probably Gungnir since I have 5 Kain's too and then Shantotto. I have a backlog of other 5 units, like 5 Galuf's, 5 Edgar's and 5 Vivi's. But they are all pretty low priority.
Taking up so much space in my inventory though lol

Gonna start back up with TM farming tonight. Current TM party is 4 Zidane and a Miyuki. Next up Chizu/3 Cecil/Delita might switch a Cecil for Hayate or Gaffgarion actually.

Ticket: GOLD..... Vivi :/
Dammit. That's the third troll gold in four days.
Grats to everyone who keeps taking my luck on their pulls.
