Per Reddit, the margin between PRO and ELT this time around is razor-thin. I have the gear to beef my Nine up to ELT-soloing levels but I don't even think it's worth it over just using Exdeath to spam Thundaga through PRO, which will make this the first event I haven't pushed ELT on.

I guess the rates on the rare mobs are different between the difficulties but it truly doesn't seem worth the hassle this time.

It's not worth the hassle. I started doing Pro on last one versus Elt. So much easier to deal with. Still get Bombs and Nimbus, so it's not like you lose that. I just Exdeath DC Thundaga and chain with CoD Thundaga for pewpew.

300+ NRG later, I still don't know what these bombs are.

I imagine you haven't seen a Nimbus either, right?

Guess it doesn't matter. This whole event was made to bust balls for no other reason than to be an annoying piece of crap. So ready to already be done with it. I look forward to the next NON Mog King event.

Having only one Cinque is killing me because I'm not getting currency fast enough to buy mats to awaken Ramza to 6 star, lol.

You need about 200% to make farming these go at a decent clip but I don't want to pull with Lapis for this. I only have 2 Iris' for the FFXV event in JP but since everyone on my friend's list is either a powered up Cor or Noctis, I got stuff really quick thanks to getting lucky with bonus monsters.

Saw one so far. If I see one a day I'll be done in two days. I'll only get the tickets and nothing more.

You know, if they're going to ban dual cast in the arena I would appreciate them banning evasion in the same week.

Decided to do some ticket pulls after doing a few 11-pulls yesterday. Surprised to get a rainbow and got Queen. Have a few extra friend slots so ID 275.513.710 if you want to add. Have gaf somewhere in the in-game message. I'll try to level and gear her up later today.

Ohh a Gold for daily, maybe a banner unit? Nope, Garnet. Oh not run into any bombs or Nimbus yet. Although I'm torn between Dunes and the event right now and think I may make use of the Dunes for once to max out a few units.

Had a week off so I haven't played besides leaving it TM farming. Decide to pull a few units for banner units for the mog king event and in my 4th ticket I pull Queen :)

3rd rainbow since last week, Marie, olive and now Queen. Very nice streak!

Is she any good? I had planned on using lighting, olive and Gilgamesh. Better than lightning?

Gratz. Nice streak you got.

As for Queen, she's as good as Delita.

This Event has been really generous with me. Ive spent 2 dailies and 5 tickets and have my queen and 3 Nines.... And a duane, the gem of the crown.

My 46k lapis are safe, and knowing that Next banner could be people choice or ff14, my lapis Will be safe for at least 3 weeks

Whelp bought everything I wanted from the event and saw Nimbus a total of 0 times and the bomb twice. Stupid. I want Nimbus for my monster book but blah. Guess I will TM farm all week and perhaps try next week to see him.

Daily : Gold -> Shine... give me a single Type-0 unit Gumi please
Click to expand...

Complaining about Shine lol, I'll gladly trade my Nine for her!

Did ELT 3 times this morning and saw the bomb once, but it doesn't even seem to give that much more phantoma. A little bit but not as much as previous bonus encounters. Still sticking to the dunes since there's not much I want from mog king, certainly not going for a moogle this time around.

Wow very lucky! :)

Just managed to max out Ling. Decided I'll keep doing Dunes to max out whoever else I can in the time it's on for and carry on with the event from Monday. Only have one banner unit so far, might get lucky with a daily...

Second Chizuru maxed, finally get to start playing around with chaining shenanigans. Firion 70/100 and Ramza 60/80 are next, Dunes so good!

Must be 40+ runs easy all together on Pro, not a single Golden Bomb or Nimbus yet.

I was hoping to maybe get both Moogles by focusing on nothing but them, but that seems impossible at this rate.

It's as if these events keep getting worse and they do so just in hopes that we will spend Lapis to refresh.

I didn't think last one was so bad. Hell, that was first time I'd gotten the 70k Moogle. But then again, maybe my luck with Rabites was better than norm. I got everything and more than I wanted out of it. But this feels like an about face from at least decent enough ones.

At this rate, as much as I'd like Moogle, it might be a pip dream. Want the sword and tickets though.

Edit: OH snap. x/5. Guess I have Nimbus waiting for me.

yeah i mean if you can snag a pair of nines and build up a cinque and eight you can get decent amount per run if you bring nine or queen friends

but thats like a tough ask since the rates are bad

Daily for another Leon, alright that's 3.

I'm guessing I should just do all 3 at once for his TM for Greg since I don't have a Luneth? And by the time WoL is useful to me I'll probably have pulled another anyway so screw it.

Also Brave Suit at 95%, hurry up Ramza damn you. Noctis waiting patiently at 880 ATK for it.

On a related note, seems that big patch fixed Nox for me. Hasn't crashed since =o

Wtf, I just realized I ran out of Gil to level up my characters...

Where do I even farm for Gil?
Click to expand...

Do a Friend Point summon, fuse your standard and mini metal cactuars into those units, then sell them.

Who should I be focusing on raising right now? My team is pretty set, I can platoon 2 tanks, 2 healers, 4 dps, 2 mages, and 3 supports depending on what the game throws at me, so it's not like I need anything urgently.

Non-maxed units I have that are 6* capable present and near future:
- Seven
- CoD
- Medius
- Firion
- WoL
- Garland
- Agrias

Current setup

- Burn up orbs and NRG on the event

- Run Item craft macro! Just made it today and its making potions for the trophy while NRG refills

- Run Ultimate TM/LB/Esper/Item use macro overnight

Should be on track to complete 3-4 of the grindy trophies this month

not sure why I am bothering. Ive made 5 rings so far and have had zero mats drop. lol

Almost maxed my Olive! First character to break 600 in an offensive stat for me. Gonna be nice when I get some better gear for her to push that even higher (and a better gun than this Candy one)/

Ok, almost got Nine to 6* 100. These improved dunes are amazing.

Valentus, can you do me a huge favor and screenshot the gear/materia you used on your Nine to 1shot jump that ELT boss for the event?

Think I just have to skip the dunes since I don't have any pressing units to level. My leveling queue is Mercedes, Luka, Primm, Firion, and Ace. Maybe Xiao at some point. But I don't really NEED any of the above and since I maxed Ling for the arena I have what I need.

Got all of the tickets as my first event purchase. I'm going for the belt, sq, sr, sc, and maybe a set of awaking mats. What's the word on the sword? It doesn't have any elements but it's the best one after enhancer excluding TM's. I don't have Leon though so maybe it's not worth it.

Finally back above 50 tickets after the Shine-pocalypse. I'll have enough lapis for 5 11x's by the time Orlandu comes and we'll just have to see if that's enough. I almost hope the player's choice banner is the predicted Zidane, Chiz, and Noctis because then I can safely ignore it.

Sure would be cool to have an Olive to max out rn ...

Yeah instead I love my Donkey Kong what was a let down even having 730 ATK. What a piece of shit. Only useful skill is from Odin Bladeblitz and thats not much :(.

Then I forgot to change friend leader. I had naked Donkey there about 12h before I swapped to my Noc. Like day & night. From shit to sun.

Argh what a piece of crap :(((

If you'd made DKC defend throughout the Battle of the 4 Fiends event, he would've become a 6* paladin and turned into a useful unit.

We all know how beastly DKC with enhancements will be, but how many of you will be willing to drop 6m to make him usable?

There are dozens of better characters that will be even better with enhancements anyway, hell, Agrias and Firion will be light years better than him and those two alone will cost dozens of millions of gold.

Yeah I'm surprised by how few people have the new units.

Are you guys not pulling on this banner?
Click to expand...

I personally decided not to. From the looks of my friends list not many people are either.

I did however put up my newly gained Olive + Sparky to share with you guys. I feel like I'm part of the cool club now.
