Well, I'm at 50% on my 2nd Beastlord, and 80% on my 2nd Pod 153. I might do a few raid refreshes later to see if I can at least get the 9S TM out of the way. Man I'm going to miss the raid when it goes away. These are always great for stockpiling money and leveling alternate units easily.
What's the next raid event, if we loosely follow JP's schedule?

It should be Final Fantasy 11 since we have skipped it twice already.
Finished Virtuous Contract last night, feels good to have a strong katana finally. That + Beastlord is a major upgrade for any of my DPS. Still not even close on 9S or Eve. Probably not gonna get enough moogles at this rate, but eh, I've got a massive TM backlog anyway, a few more with a headstart won't be terrible.

[JP] So, the raid pulls I've been doing had only yielded Lings Trust Moogles until this morning. Got a bunch of Aiden's (40% worth), a few Xon's (15% worth), a Reberta one, and a few Ling's (20% worth). I got Aiden other day and Xon yesterday, so that was great. (Can't wait to get Aiden's for my healer!)
Noticed this morning after the raid pulls I had 7 4* tickets. Well, I didn't get Ling on GL, so I thought today I would try with my 4* tickets. First one.....
Gold -> Rainbow
Well shit, that means not Ling. But I was nervous. REBERTA!!! Sweet baby Cecil. Tried a second ticket because why not....
Gold - LING!!!
Well fucking hell. I got Aiden and Xon on dailies. And now I'm done with this banner. LOLOL. How good are Ling and Reberta here? Trying to figure out where they might fit in my group.

Ling is trash unless your team is severely lacking anything worth a shit buff-wise. They butchered her hard.
Reberta is only really powerful if you have the fuck ton of unorthodox TMs that mixed attackers need. Pretty much the finisher version of Fryevia. I won't even level up mine, having the time to farm her gear is on the very end of my priorities.

God I wonder why they reworked them so friggin much for JP
Makes me worried they are gonna fuck with the global versions
Our enhancements better be good

I have wasted so many resources on this banner, but it looks like A2 is just not in the cards for me. I have enough to do 3 more mutli-pulls but I don't know if it's worth it. I want her for the waifu factor more than anything. I would have spent as much as I have even if she was only a solid character. But to drain everything...I dunno.

Fun stuff. I'm glad to be getting their TMs more than anything (because I don't have a TM yet on this account), but sad to hear they neutered them hard.
I'll end up working on them both just because my list of stuff on JP is relatively small in terms of leveling right now. I do wish I could get a freaking healer worth a shit. Naked Fina isn't it. Though almost the time for garaunteed 5* attacker banner. (It's 25th there, I just don't have iPad to set to it so I gotta wait a little longer.) Got over 25k saved up, so will be seeing what I can pull from it.
I also noticed Ling's TM is a fan. Listed as a dagger.
commish, I wouldn't say tomorrows banner is worth it. Not for a 10 pull. Do one last pull on this banner.
Last ticket on this banner was 21O.
I didn't count, but I think I spent:
1 10+1
~35 tix (25 starting, 10 from daily rewards, daily quests, raid)
1 4* ticket
14 dailies
Total haul on-banner was 2 9s and 15ish 21Os
1 9s is at 97.5% (still have some summons left).
1 21O TM
3 Adam TMs
Disappointing banner, but I've had plenty of good luck in the past. I still have a good toolbox, I was just hoping for an exclusive rainbow (even an Eve TM would've been nice) since these ones especially are cool and useful.
I did end up getting some nice offbanner yellows, even if some are dupes
2 Ashe
3 Earth Veritas

What do you have already from the Nier banner? If you already have 9S or one of the 5*, I'd say save it.
Yeah, I have an A2 and 2 9S's.... but the feeling of "gone forever" makes me want to pull. Of course, the odds of me getting a 2B are near 0, so I should be smart.
Tomorrow's banner is a snore and shouldn't be pulled on even once by anyone who doesn't have one of the following units:
Aileen
Fohlen
Reberta
Elza
Not worth a multi at all. This is a 'save your resources after you spent everything on Nier' banner.
Onion Knight will probably be at the end of the month. They'll do the FFXI Raid first.
But the FFIII banner includes Aria, who is going be the next best healer next to Tilith.

I get that you say because of the 50% attack spear TM, but looking over Light Veritas, she seems crazy strong. I'm personally only doing a single daily pulls during the banner, but why are people over looking her? Light Veritas has the highest multipliers on the attacks I've ever seen. Probably going to be insanely strong. Plus it's finally not a double rainbow banner.

More lapis for raid orbs yielded 3 more beastlord moogles!!!
So A2's TM is now completely attainable with regular trust moogles on hand. Going to wait until after the last 10-11 raid orbs I will get naturally before I do anything else though.

Problem with light vertias is that she can only chain with herself. And her weapon selection is limited.
Well I have an Aileen.....
Honestly I should probably just spend my gems on expanding my inventory and stamina refreshes. I'm only level 37 or whatever and have far to go. I just like pulling. Until I get the pulls, and then I say "Fuck this".

Aside from Xon's ability to steal buffs, the rest of the GL characters would have been trash if they had ported it here as is.
There are already several multi-element chainer dragoons like Helmless Kain and Duke, so Reberta wouldn't be unique or as strong. Ling doesn't bring anything new to the table at all that isn't already available in JP aside from her attack boost mechanic for herself. Xon probably suffered the most since he lost his buff steal and okay damage dealing capability. Aiden is well a 5 star.

They are comparable for the most part
I would say Fry slightly edges her out with Ice focus and death protection
You'll still be able to make the equipment afterwards, although you may eventually run out of material space if you keep everything around.

Trying a few for 9S. My last chance. ;_;
Used my last 4* ticket and got Shine.
Ticket 1 - Rakshasa
Ticket 2 - Gold -> Veritas of the Earth (first Veritas to show up...)
Ticket 3 - Krile
Ticket 4 - Lani
Ticket 5 - 210
Ticket 6 - Blue -> Gold -> Leon
Ticket 7 - Gold -> Sozhe
Ticket 8 - Gold -> Soleil
Well, I have more tickets, but this was all I was willing to spend. No 9S for me I guess. As usual. I want the Gold and can't get the Gold. Always happens on the limited banners. Ling. Tilith. Ugh. So frustrating. But, I had a nice Gold pull streak in there. Just sadly had my dreams dashed every time.
Best was the Veritas of the Earth.

Take heart. The chaining is convenient but the best part of 9S's TM was always the damage mitigation and friends here will always be happy to share that. That, and EV is great.

Yeah, I kind of wanted that. ;_; I've added EV to my list to level now at least. Just finally glad to see ANY show up. I swear, it didn't feel like they were in pool.

I'm sorry
. Shit like this pisses me off about this game, the banner 4*s should not be unicorn level rare.

All this last minute pulling is starting to get me antsy! I feel like I need to do one last one to try and get another 2B or Eve, of all units, so I can use all these moogles.
Wait. You have no eve? How is that possible. I feel like that's all they give out.
Pejo

Thanks. I wouldn't mind getting her, but I have nowhere near the TMs to make her work. I think I only have a single Letters & Arms finished. Let's see if RNG gives me an off banner one down the road.
Muku

Really? I only have one on my main. And other day on pulls on Alt to get something, I only got my second. They only give 210s

Assassin's Creed and FF15 collab...I'm probably in the minority here but that's pretty dope. Gumi you want to send Altair over to BE too lol? (That being most Ninja and Assassin type characters in this game are dirt garbage)
[JP] I really want to do 3 11 pulls on the step banner for a chance at Onion Knight, but potential FF7 banner soon is holding me back. I wish I was a more patient person lol.
Edit: Did 1 5k. Got absolute trash. At least I have the ticket I guess for a future banner (cause it seems you can use it on any banner).
Damn, that's some straight nonsense. They seriously need to up the on banner yellow rate. Been saying it long before these double 4* banners, but now it just feels so difficult to get anything.

Thanks guys.
I've spent far more than I had anticipated on this. I had plans of 0 spent. But in reality, I've gotten far luckier than many others here and spent FAR less. I have 40 tickets left and ~20k Lapis. I didn't spend any Lapis on it other than dailies. (Was higher, but dailies brought me down to the ~20k mark.)
To be honest, I spent like a few tickets in beginning... and got 2B. I was only initially going for 9S. (Sounds like CNY, doesn't it? Going for Ling, got Yun pretty right near off the bat. And no Ling after it was said all in the end.)
It's my luck with limited time events. I think that is just what I need to know going into this. I mean hell, even during Christmas I got WKN without even trying. I get the Rainbows on limited time, haha.
It is. Golds on limited time banners are worse than Rainbows. The unicorn of unicorns.

I commend your diligence to stack resources lol. Not telling you what to do but today is the last day. 9S tm is nice and IMO worth it. If I were in your shoes I'd do ONE, ONLY ONE multi then call it a day. Again, not telling you what to do lol but that's what I'd do. Guys/gals, thoughts on if this is a good idea or not?
Congrats!
Muku

It's funny you say that because I've been contemplating. I don't know if I feel like I'd have a better chance in that. Golds I got earlier were ones I don't normally get, so it was interesting. Normally it's Hope or Garnet. I'm afraid if I do a 10+1 it'll be one of those .. or multiples of those fuckers.. in it.
So tempting. And with you saying that I'm now like "OMG PULL NAOOOOO!" Hahaha..
Alkez
Member
Unfortunately I do concur. 15k is still a good amount to be at.
Hippopuncher12
Member
I mean 20k is a pretty healthy amount of Lapis so losing 1/4 of that isn't a huge deal, unless you are planning on pulling on some things coming up soon. I won't tell you to pull or not as you are the only person that can truly decide that, but keep in mind with my 3 Multi's today for 2B I had 0 9S, but then with one of my Multi's earlier in the banner I had 4. /shrug
