Okay 6th day of Nier done. Though i wasn't able to play over the weekend (and dropped to 41k place in ranking) so let's say 4th day of Nier raiding. Let us look at tm progression

Imaginary A2: 65%
Imaginary 2B: 50%
Adam #2: 45%
Eve: 40%
9S: 45%
210 #2: 5%

looks like Eve and 9s are the toughest to get for me....

Account got locked so had to start over. Looking for some friends! 579 937 777

Updated number!

Thanks!
 
I don't quite know how to react to my recent pulls. I did ~70 on Nier banner between a multi, tickets and dailies + 3 of the free 10+1 tickets. I doubled my 5*s from 3 (Noct, Delita, Ramza) to 6, but the 3 new ones were Emperor, Trance Terra and Bikini Dark Fina.

Caved on that bundle with the ATK +30%, 4* ticket, etc.

Finally pulled Eve, managed to get rid of loads of those bloody Moogles!

You're ready for the Mage Meta.

Ugh, finally got 2B, took a ridiculous amount of lapis. No more banners for me until Ayaka (or a really good GL exclusive) outside of some non-5* TMs. I have every unit I need functionally.

I'm not a good multi tasker. Thx for heads up!

I love raid events, because it uses orbs rather than NRG. What's everyone using their NRG on currently?

I've been running Vortex for XP. Been levelling up lots of units to 6* max. Managed to max level Snow, Kelsus and Maxwell. Currently working on Seabreeze Dark Fina.

I figure even if they're not fixtures in my team, they're handy for expeditions.

Twenty fucking five Virtuous Contract Moogles. Still, couldn't finish a single 9S, Eve nor A2... Almost 4m raid points already. I have some criminal thoughts on my mind right now.

Fire Shrine. I decided to go for a Ring of Dominion. No refills though so it's gonna take like a year lol.

Damn for real? This makes me want to get A2.....

All TM farming all the time. There are just to many I want, it's never ending.

I have 20 beastlord tms saved up, just in case..... :(
I've thrown away so many extra at this point.

I have yet to get a single Nier TM from moogles and I have all of the units. These drop rates are horrible. Half of my pulls don't have any moogles at all. I doubt I'll be able to get the second 9S pod before the raid is over. Guess I'll have to finish the little bugger off with regular moogles.

I'm spending NRG on the usual: TM farming. I was running out of stuff I needed but my Nier haul created a bunch more stuff to get.
 
I was curious what my standing in the raid has been because I've burnt a lot of lapis refreshing. Here are my stats;

Individual Completion Points ; 6,206,709
Ranking ; 503

How many of each TM I have obtained, and the % of the next one,
5 Vengeful Wrath, next is at 90%
6 Mechanical Heart, next is at 5%
1 Pod 153, next is at 80%
2 Resentment, next is at 25%
1 Virtuous Contract, next is at 65%
20 Beastlord moogles stored. just. in. case.

This is easily the most expensive banner so far in this game, and I've hard pulled on the majority of banners since release. Banner rainbow rates are incredible low, I'm confident its below 50% for banner unit when rainbow appears.

I was thinking of doing it as well.

The Japanese player that farmed two Rings of Dominon said it took him around 3 months each of farming.

There are scripts out there that do Explorations that are much more advanced then macros, so I need to study up on it. I'm currently insanely behind on my TM farming so it'll be after that.

I just can't believe it's that bad. I mean I DO believe it's that bad, but it's blowing my mind the rates are such garbage when pulling is so expensive.

I posted what I have earlier... I'm literally at half your points (roughly 3.124m), and nowhere near as many moogles as this... oh well, rng may even out, and i might get some good streaks later /shrug

I'm scared to ask how much lapis you've spent on refreshing.

So I just finished Rikku's Pouch and I was wondering if you guys normally equip it to Rikku, or is it better off equipped to your healer or tank.

From where Im sitting, it seems that equipping it to Rikku makes the most sense.

My main team:

Tank - WoL
Support - Ling / Marie / Rikku
Attack - Noctis / Aileen
Mage - Victoria / Exdeath
Heal - Tilith

PSA for people who haven't done any raids before this one with moogles for banner units: you will ALWAYS get the most moogles for a 5* base. We will all have enough moogles to max them, but very few of us will actually have said units. Sure getting a free TM is nice but don't kid yourself at how horrible your chances of getting them are. Get your 9S and get out folks.

I remember that reddit topic talking about how Gumi already increased the rainbow rates, in the same one showing nerfed banner gold rates.
Like they never heard of report bias lol

Hahahahaha whaaa? Didn't see that one. I know Gumi does some silly stuff, but keeping the 3% rainbow change hush hush makes absolutely no sense. Banner gold rate I could see (17 off banners before 9S, though of course that's a sample size of 1 and meaningless), but not the rainbow thing.

Rikku has a pretty nice natural cycle of synthesis->hypernull all->LB that precludes you from using the pouch. Most fights you don't need to have all buffs up at once though so she's fine having it. You could also consider putting it on Tilith since she lacks a natural way to cure stone or WoL since his breaks and cover abilities leave the opportunity for a third ability to fit in.

YEA ABOUT DAMN TIME HOLY SHIT.

Got my 2B, Finally!!!!!

I re-upped my lapis since I was 20 points away from 5* ticket, used the ticket, and bam, 2B.

Was kinda painful, but I'm so glad the monkey is off my back, I really wanted the unit. Instantly almost have her TM now too.

Dual 5* banners are the devil, for real.

Congrats. That 5* ticket is really tempting!

If anyone wants to add my gf it would be greatly appreciated.

She's still only Rank 20 and just started playing: she has A2, Lunera, TT, Ramza...

ID: 870, 969, 352

I just can't believe it's that bad. I mean I DO believe it's that bad, but it's blowing my mind the rates are such garbage when pulling is so expensive.

If you have tickets saved up, or lapis saved up, then I would say it might be worth some hard pulls; A2, 2B, and 9S are great units. however, if you're putting money down, the probability of getting your desired 5* banner unit is lower than any other banner up till now.

There was that Reddit thread talking about probabilities for this banner, and as someone who has hard pulled four banner 5* this last week, I would say it is fairly accurate.

Thanks for your input! That's basically what I was thinking, just unsure.

I don't doubt Gumi fiddled with the gold rates, alongside adding Eve, they made sure they would get the maximum profit out of it x)

So I'm the only one who didn't get 2B huh lol? Dem feels!

Not even close... maybe the one that spent the most without getting her though. I promise it'll be okay though!

Edit: lol twice in one line, I say though too much. I guess you could call me... Mr Though
