Probably should have saved my Trust Moogles or just farmed longer but I needed to free space.

Spent 30% worth, fused my 6 Hyate and 5 Camille to get my 1st Black Cowl and 1st Aqua Blade.

I know if I was patient and waited a couple more weeks I could have had two Cowls, but I hate TM farming.


Still have 158% worth of Moogles though and now my Agrias farming team are all dual wielding. :)

TM oven is now 1x Rasler and 4x Elle. If I can manage to pull off 1x of each TM it should really boost my WoL.


Edit - Why do I do this to myself? Just blew through 5 tickets to satisfy the itch.

Luna, Alma, Bran (1st), Hyate and Heltich. Ugh, my luck has been pure trash for over a month now. Really annoying.

9,175 Lapis, 30 tickets and 1x 4* ticket remain. I need to really stop pulling and wait for Nier before I blow everything and get nothing of worth.

honestly.... i wont count on it in a few weeks.... of a few months lmao... agrias enhanced is basically a full fledged orlandeau, so gumi giving us a full orlandeau at the cost of a base 4 star at this point of the game... i dont think so.

I think they might keep on schedule for this one. Even at max pots her attack is just so low that she really doesn't compare to him. Giving her nearly BiS equip the best I can do is mid 700's. Since two of her can already make a 19 hit chain easily it doesn't seem overkill to let two of her chain up to 27 after spending a ridiculous 24 giancrysts.

To be fair, it's a pretty hefty cost of 12 Gian and 4 Pure. Which would take out most player's stash from the past few months including Anni bonus.

Seems I'm no longer F2P.

I was in a rush to spend 300 Lapis for 2 tickets that I bought the $25 bundle... just spending tickets today in aggravation of my crap RNG luck.

Sigh... my luck in this game keeps getting worse that now it costed me money, lol.


For anyone wondering, I spent money in the App Store to buy something for my daughters iPad (she is linked to my account) and I'm set to require password again after 15 minutes. I would have figured that the game would have stopped and asked for a password before the purchase went through.

Anyways now I guess I lost my status that I was so proud of and in my sadness I spent the ex ticket and my luck seems to have changed.

Got a shitty worthless Jean.


FML.

I swear, my luck had better change during the Nier banner.

One ticket. Meliadoul! DONE! Put her up as my friend unit with great gear. Sadly her atk is only 77x but she has world destroyer and diablos for the solo carry.

uhm.. i'll be the voice out of line here and i'll be frank..

i doubt it will be much better in a few months..
frankly your best bet is to reroll tll you get a decent 5* (aileen, orlandu, etc)..
then abuse gaf (our) units as friend and rampage through the game..
store your resources, don't do any pull, till you're advice to..

i won't mince words..
it will not be very nice in the beginning.
but.. i don't see any major anniversary on the horizon..
summer is pretty much done..
anniversary is done..
everything is done :)
your best bet as i said, is to just try to get the best 5* you can, and then plough through the game as much as you can.. AND stash your resources for the next good banner (e.g. nier? onion knight?)

you have to start somewhere and the earlier the better at the moment..

1. Guys, are you really telling an interested new gamer that it's a bad time to start? IT IS NEVER A BAD TIME TO START. In fact, the sooner the better.

2. I've managed to avoid pulling over the past few days and suddenly have 5500 lapis and between the summer deal and the event so far I have 15 tickets.

3. Seriously I'm still rolling my eyes at telling a new player to wait for a better time to re-roll. We already have Orlandeau, Fryevia, and Aileen and those will be near tops for what, another 8-10 months? Longer?

4. The best time to start will always be yesterday if you think about NRG opportunities lost, esp for F2P types when it comes to TMs.

5. Start now!

I've gone for extremely long stretches without pulling in these gacha games before, so saving summoning currency shouldn't be a a problem for me. Thanks for the advice! Maybe I'll give it a shot tonight or tomorrow. Try for a Wakka account or something?

If you're going to be rerolling don't settle on Wakka.

Wait for Orlandeau, Freyvia, Tidus or Eileen.

If I'd start the game (GL) now I'd prob get into it in the most casual way, fully expecting to reroll when Dark Veritas got here.

I'm guessing the banner will get changed up and split apart on GL, but whatever banner Dark Veritas will be on will probably be good for rerolling.

Edit: or possibly the Nier banner.

with her best equipment now you can get agrias with 865 ATK

With enhancements (which includes Knighthood+2 that adds +50% ATK with greatsword) Agrias ATK is 950.

I havent spent a single cryst since the beginning and i have the resources now to enhance 2 agrias divine ruination and knighthood +2 right now.

I think gumi will not give us that too soon... but again, its gumi so i could be wrong.

This banner is garbage, last night it was fun watching the Twitch streamer getting nothing xD

Rhuse 50k or something got nothing.

Claic Yuzolt Spended like 80 to 90 k or more and got nothing interesting xD

i am saving everything to Nier, and if the tier banner is like this shit with 2 rainbows and a shit ton of golds i might save it all i have for Onion Knight.

Ranking is:
Orlandu
Aileen //fryevia (fry is better, but locked on one element already, and harder to gear)
Olive
Tidus
..
Knight delita (very strong as a f20//early player)
..
Dark knight Cecil is very strong with all enhancements, lackluster without
..
..
Reberta//fohlen
..
..
Noctis (he's a jack of all trade but will not I've you a particular edge in anything.. we have better tank, better support and better dps)
..
Zargabaath strong support, but I wouldn't bank on him as my staple unit on a new account
..
..
Ramza (useful ONLY for future enhancement, I advice against keeping him as first unit)//lunera
..
..
Mercenary Ramza, squire delita, queen.. only good for their tmr..
..
..
Wilhelm strong tank, but again, wol is not MUCH WORSE, and he's not a nat 5*
..
..
Marie is a support.. don't..
..
..
Lightning.. she's basically shittier than the games she comes from..
..
..
Emperor//dark fina// seabreezefina// other 5* mage.. just don't.. mages are currently out of meta..


Hope it helps

Exiviusgaf, how about we update a rank of units so that someone that starts know if the account is worth keeping or not?
I mean, sure we have few new players a month, but it's something useful :)

I just posted a list, but I'm not 100% sure it's legit.. maybe wilhelm could rank a bit higher for example..

I am loving the new gaffgarion. He might not be a top ranked unit but he hits quite hard. Can't wait for his enhancements. I really wish his TMR was his blood sword. It's a staple of his character in FFT

Noctis should be up top with Orlandu and Aileen. He's not a jack of all trades, he's the Prince of All Trades!

I have Aileen maxed with Artisan and I still prefer to use Noctis in my main party because he can break 900ATK pretty easy, has a killer attack ability in Warp Break, and can replenish his HP/MP, full raise other party members, and MORE.

You guys should prepare your bodies for buffed Noctis, his LB will be batshit insane and we can easily use it every single turn with the TMs we have available.

My body is so ready. Im just waiting for Gumi to lay it on us!

I haven't even looked into what exactly the buffs will be. I like being pleasantly surprised.

I just realized I didnt even mention his Flasks in my post lol. He's definitely still #1 in my book.

CGjake and Folhen.

Both with great 4 stars to do a cool team.


I am happy, i dont care too much , i am sure sooner or later i get a healer and a good support.

First pull Onion Knight and fourth ticket Orlandeu, i knew this would be a blessed account. Aranea and the cherry on top of the cake xD

We need more info than that to say for sure but general advice is to get one attacker as good as possible before moving on to the next. Does Fryevia have more than 874 atk/mag? If so, Letters and Arms for her. If not, Tidus.
Click to expand...
Wow Fryevia can get that much Mag? Then i should max her, thanks a lot, i don't really need Aileen right now.

First 3 L&A done, last one at 50%. No Fryevia, but I do have Trance Terra and 2 Ashe, so they'll find a home for sure.

Pretty surprised at how many people broke after swearing this banner off. My wife is even skipping dailies for the first time ever on this crapfest.

Yeah, I don't get it. I don't want any of these units in any capacity. It's just horrifically bad. I'd also rather TM farm than do the event (for now).

Glad the Mog King event was this week. Having gotten DKC... I figured I'd get the Cactaur for him. Bought all 100. Used 98 on him. I had three big Attack Pots saved up for anyone worth it to give. So I gave them to him to start. Got him to level 11 5*. Only got two Great Successes in it all, but totally okay. Was prepared for the whole enchilada to go to him.

Noticed I had mats for Dark Cannon. So went ahead and got that to +2. Once I have free RNG again, I'll go farming Gems again.

Once I can get his enhancements, I'll try replacing CoD with him to see how it goes. But it'll be a while yet. But I'm excited!

I've seen 2 Chocobos so far, both yellow. No refreshes though, since I'm stocked with all crysts at the moment skipping those most likely so I should easily get everything else before the next event. I actually didn't break! Did 2 pulls and peace.

Yup I broke my promise to do pulls from this event banner.

I have made whopping 1 ticket pull Friday got Mercedes from it. Thats my pulls from this banner :). Ofc I pulled that 10+1 but it is offbanner pull so I was expecting to get trash and I got trash so everything went like expections.

I haven used single Lapis to banner. This banner sucks so much that it aint worth to use small resources one has to this.

So I'm 10% away from getting my first TMR, genji glove. Spent all the moogles I've gotten since I started. What TMR should I use all other future mogs on? weapon tms?

Posted on the Discord but what the hey, I'm bored.

Used my 10+1 ticket. Got my first Ramza. Really wanted his TM for a while now, and his enhancements are gonna make him viable again in the meta.

Oh, and now I have all 3 Beach Time units despite not really wanting any of them. Though, pulling Seabreeze Dark Fina was much more of a blessing than I wanted to admit at the time... since I don't have regular Dark Fina, she's now my top magic user.

Now the only earlier global unit I wish I could still pull is Gilgamesh... hopefully someday.

I can say whatever, but without listing some units, it's not exactly helpful~ (list your party too)

Ended up maxing up D.Fina's Retaliate and Ultima abilities. Didn't touch Dystopia. Is it worth it if I have Ultima +2?
Click to expand...

Ultima+2 is for chaining (but it only really chains with other Ultima+2s?); Dystopia is one big dark hit for a finisher. Should be nice if you pull Veritas of the Dark or already have a dark imperil applied from DKC or something. Kinda seems like overkill to me but who knows.
