Vaan on free and Leo on daily for me, meh.

Forgot to kill the cat with an esper on today's mission, but I already have 80 calamity gems so I'm not too worried.

If I am not using those musical notes for crafting, what else could they have been spent on? Do I spent musical notes if I enter missions or enhance some of my units?

Yun debuffs elemental resistance with his Blazing Combo, it's just not as powerful as Orlandu's.

Is there any unit in JPN that has a better fire decrease resistance than Seven with Elementalslash ? I would just bring her along for Bosses where Yun is vital, - 50% sounds massive.

I havent played around with the Chaining system yet - but i wanna use Chiz,Gilgamesh, Yun ..and maybe Lightning if she fits in. What would be the right skill order to maximize damage ? Also would 2 Chiz instead of one make a big difference ?

You can sell them if you already used them to craft everything you need.

But I haven't purposely used my musical notes. Just since my last post I had 4 notes, and now I go to check and I have 0, and all I did was level up a unit and complete the Ariana event again. I don't understand it.

Is there a recommended level for TM farming? I'm just trying to do the story but once I'm caught up I'll need to start farming the TM's for my Snow, Zidane, Ramza, Cecil and Luneth.

You'll be grinding earth shrine, so yeah, any level really.

Hmmm...are you sure you didnt sell them ? They are used to craft Arianas Gear but thats all. Did you check on the Material screen or the Item one ?

I go to Forge > Craft > Click on item > and it says held: 0.

[edit] Oh shit, I just checked out Items and it says I have 52. Then I don't understand why I can't Forge these materials.

10 pull because GAF hype : Nothing relevant except Lenna (1st) and Jidane (3rd), should probably keep my 20 last tickets for Orlandu ...

Balthier, Fire Veritas, Tim, Seven, Nyx, Marie, Illus, Kamui all have stronger tier Fire Resistance down.

From what I pulled?

2x Vaan, Trey, Shadow, Maria, Kefka, Xiao, Fang

My team is WOL, BCL, Refia, Ariana, Bartz... Dont think they replace anyone lol.

Ironically Vaan was my reroll character back in May 2016. Now he is just bench warmer :/. He gets 6* awakening but it aint so flashing. Also Vaan's TM is not great either, so you can fuse Vaan to another, keep one copy of him. Good thing in Vaan is that he has Steal ability for Steal trophy :p.

Yeah those pulls were kinda bad, Kefka had his moment and will get 6* awakening in the future, just to get same thing than Vaan, nothing great. Kefka has ok TM but I haven't bothered to grind it. Keep one Kefka, Xiao, Fang.

Shadow & Maria are trash.

Yeah i meant if someone has a stromger fire res down than Seven w. Elementalslash - doesnt seem like there are abilities with more than -50% fire res down. So Seven as a debuff wont be topped anytime soon.

Black Cowl is finally done! Bracer is at 94.9% and Champion's Belt at 77.5%, then I'm out of stuff to farm for Elza. At a loss at what to farm now, wish I had at least a second Zidane.

Ah damn, so Lenna is worth something too? I'll check out the unit list when I get home. Seems like I could level her up and at least make her part of my secondary part, if she gets some kind of healing abilities. Or else I'll just have to unlock Fina.

[edit] Ahhh damn, I found out why I couldn't craft Ariana's stuff. It's because I was holding the musical notes. I had to remove them. So now I have crafted all of her stuff. But I think I should make her a glove for each hand if she can do that.

Okay so Earth shrine then? I'm currently fighting Leviathin and I think I'm close to finishing the current story.

The basic premise of TM farming is just repeating Earth Shrine with your TM team. Every mission you do has a 10% chance per unit to raise their trust by 0.1%. You can combine units to combine their trust (and an additional +5%), so doing multiples is easier than single units.

However, I should warn you that TM farming is incredibly monotonous and not something that is needed, or even intended in the game ATM, and most of us that do it, are somehow automating it.

There are enough Trust Moogles in the game that you can finish a key TM in a few months with events and arena rewards, which I suppose is the intended way to finish off a TM.

Regardless, if you still want to do it, there's Switch Controls on iOS, FREP on Android, and a number of emulators on PC/Mac. Or you could do it manually, but like I said, it's not a lot of fun and will most likely change your view of the game :p

Maximilian is still the best armor in the game.

Also Vaan is outshined by better units, and the problem is that Faris also offers the Full Break + Focus combo in one unit, and i find faris a better unit than vaan

But yeah, he can be useful if you build him right and dont have anything better
 
I have a yellow star and blue star trust moogle. Trying to figure out who to use them on.

Is there really any need to have more than one Excalibur, for instance? Otherwise I have a ways to go before I get that, which is my closest one. May fuse all my Cecil's and use my.trust moogles on Zidane for more than one dual wield.

I was obviously hoping for a 5 star base but even Exdeath, COD, Gilgamesh, Cecil etc. would've been nice. Just hoping when I go all out for Orlandu that I'll at least pull some of the more essential units.

How much damage are espers doing to the Great Nian? I keep failing at comboes, so I think it might be easier to just get the boss down to 1k health with some normal attacks and finish with the esper alone if that's possible.

Dualcast Refia is truly a game changer. I haven't had much issues dealing with ELT Beast Nian because of her. Being able to double Curaja or put up both Barfira and Barthundara in one turn is so good. It really makes the esper kill a lot more manageable since you can delay it as much as you need to.

Anyone know which limited-time 6* units are not in the rare summons pool outside their timed/themed event? Here's my short list:

-White Knight Noel (Christmas)
-Santa Roselia (Christmas)

-Dracu Lasswell (Halloween)
-Demon Rain (Halloween)
-White Witch Fina (Halloween)

-Elza (limited time?)
-Dangerous Ariana (limited time?)

Her TM seems to be a good equipment, and if you don't have Refia or Luluka/Luka in your party, she's good from what I heard as a healer(I pulled Refia so never had trouble).

ExviusGAF Playbook updates: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...nHmv4Hs9P_skVOehyGlc/edit?pli=1#gid=930167136

[ ] Friend List sorted -- we're now up to 48 GAF friends! Remember to keep GAF in your in-game message at all times please.

[ ] Valentus added the new event units Ling and Yun to the 6* ranking. Xiao's 6* upgrade is a new entry as well.

[ ] I added two new columns to the ranking -- each unit's sprite and a short description for each unit. I will need help with the descriptions. It was important to me to mark which units are no longer available.

[ ] Also added Unit Ranking Criteria per Valentus' method. I think it makes sense.

[ ] Still working: I think we're still working a trust master guide, which I think we eventually make the MOST USEFUL by having them sorted per until role. (So TM equips and abilities for DPS, TM equips and abilities for MAGE, etc).

Please everyone thank Valentus for his incredible work. He is amazing and I love have something actually useful that we can point our new members to! Love you man!

Anyone else having problems with the arena? Every time I've tried to enter in the last four hours I've gotten a black screen of death. Sent a support ticket and I've reinstalled/restored to no avail. Keeps happening. More infuriatingly I'm 100 rank exp from a level. My orbs are now full again and so is my nrg...I went to send my last orb to get back up to five with the level up...now I'm in limbo and too pissed to level an lose out.

Im super compromised with your project man. I really love to do this, so you have my sword until the end of the game

Congratz to you too for taking the time to make the Playbook user-friendly. This is a great document for the community.

Edit: And i still owe you the TM ranking, next week when i got free again i will put to work on it.

Looks like you got them all, though I guess Ling and Yun should go on there too. Also Tilith and Maxwell at least are getting a 6* later, don't know if they count.

Save yourself from this insanity.
Use Switch Control to set up a macro.
You only need 4 tap.

https://youtu.be/ZcOc2rVcysw
15:25 of this video

Be careful with that right button (where he show 6 button)
It is for refill.
But since we are using ios and have to manually tap it,
We can see if the stamina is running out and stop doing this.

https://youtu.be/Fu8Cg4h2W6s
This one is even easier to do but a little bit slower as it use auto which cause all units to attack.
But you could gain some LB from this :p
Thanks man, I might do this.

It does seem like it would help a decent amount, and I could always keep my phone plugged in/charging over night so I can TM farm and still have a fully-charged phone the next day.

My free summon on main... it was.... it was.... TELLAH! Finally! :O

Decided to go ahead and do a daily pull too. C'mon Ling... so I get Xiao. Again. Okay, so maybe I won't be able to get Ling, which is what I originally wanted. So again, the gold on the banner will continue to evade me. Like Seven did.

Also, with Trust Moogle for daily... over 50% on Dual Cast now~
How did you not have Tellah yet? That old man stalks me like crazy. I mean, I'm happy to have four of him, for 4x 30%MP, but enough is enough!

Seven eluded me too. I thought I was the only one here who didn't get her, and I pulled every day (as well as used a few tickets). Luka I got multiple of though, but wasn't really needed since I have Tilith. I also didn't get Ling yet, but there's still several days left of dailies. I hope we're both lucky on that end!

So yesterday I pulled 11 and got Ling and a dup Mercedes. Ok but there rest wer legit trash.

Then I spent a 3-4 tickets, getting TM fodder but not the kind you save more than one of.

But I have the itch, right? So I pull another ticket. It's Xiao, my 3rd total but 2nd of the day. And I'm like, huh, maybe the rates really are up. I'll pull one past my promised limit. (You all know how that goes, right?) (there's a conversation here about anyone who has dealt with addiction, but that's for another day).

So I pulled, right? MY 2ND RAINBOW EVER! YELLOW CHICKEN LOVIN YUUUUUUN. Hell yes.

anyway long story short I pulled my free unit this morning and I got my 3rd rainbow. It's Luka, my 2nd. I've burned out all rng luck for Orlandu, right?
Congrats on the Yun! Another ExviusGAF/Yun member added to the (growing) list.

Lmao hidden tags are so much fun. It's always great when it confuses someone.

Yeah I'm happy with my pulls so far and now just need to work on maxing my Ling out! I love seeing you on friends list with your Yun. Such a great unit to pull. :)
Thanks! :)

I know he's probably not optimal right now, and I could probably put a more strong character in the Friend Slot...but damn it, he's my first 5* base so he's going to be my Leader! I'm farming TM's now to increase his usefulness, so hopefully it won't be too long. I have a few Trust Moogle that I've been hoarding too, so I'll probably push those towards an early Kaiser Knuckles. I want him geared out ASAP. I want to see that 900+ attack!

Nooooo use them on Yun's! I had 70% in moogles saved up in the hopes I get him, but that seems doubtful at this point.

That's exactly what I have planned! :)

I'm thinking I might slot in Fencer TM instead of one of the ATK materia, but that's another TM to farm and will be done after I complete the other...seven. Holy hell, SEVEN TM to farm? Welp.

Nooooo use them on Yun's! I had 70% in moogles saved up in the hopes I get him, but that seems doubtful at this point.
Hmm, is Yun the better option? I don't really have many nice fist weapons right now, but I guess if the +30% ATK is that good, I could always go that route first.

You get 30% of your full potted base ATK. On Yun that's (150+34)*0.3 = 55. Kaiser Knuckles have 50 more attack than the Beast Cestus, so the armor better by 5 ATK.
 
I think Ill try to do the ELT event tonight. I don't have much confidence in my turn-base aptitude to do it though. I really want that trust moogle. That whip wouldn't hurt either.

Chrono, what's your in-game name? Want to make sure I have you on my list!

Eh I've used him and the amount of attacks he does is great. He's only going to get stronger! I'll be setting up my Luneth lead once I craft some more attack abilities for him.

Kaiser x2

Dual Weild
Power of Creation

Once the Great Sword Mastery materia becomes available, you can actually squeeze about more attack than this for Yun, heh.

Kaiser 1
Excalibur
Black Cowl
Yun's Armor
Champion Belt x2

Dual-Wield
Equip Great Sword
Power of Creation
Great Sword Mastery

19 more attack from weapon difference, 10% more attack from materia and Light Element. You'd lose out on 20% HP is the only thing.
