Same here. With the gold from saturday, i hope to max out all my current gear. Then hopefully be strong enough to take down 5 more elite dungeons for one final rare pull.
Is adding more inventory slots a good investment with our hard earned mythril ? I'm farming for upgrade mats with today event and I feel like I'll hit the max if I keep doing it (I'm the keep everything sell nothing kind of guy in RPG ^^"). God bless auto fight for doing it at work.
Would anyone know why suddenly Cloud is doing a blue flash around himself when attacking, and doing massive damage?
I equipped him with a 10/10 3-Star Bastard Sword (VI)... which says nothing special in the description.
Is there a boost game mechanic I don't know about here?
He has the lowest attack of my 3 heavy hitters, yet he's doing 2x-3x the damage that they are...
Edit: VI weapon being used in VI dungeon. BIG bonus!

Are you in a FF7 dungeon or in a dungeon corresponding to the world of the weapon you gave him?

If the character, weapon or armor you using belong to the games realm you are in they get a big bonus.

Are you fighting in the FF7 worlds? People and items get stat boosts while in their own native games so Cloud gets a stat boost while in the FF7 dungeons. I think the blue glow might be that (but not 100% sure).
Also, they get an exp bonus at the end of each fight, worth noting if you are trying to level a particular character.
None of this applies... it's not the usual blue glow when you have a boost from being in the realm of the character. I'm doing the daily event which is VI based.
HOWEVER, his weapon is indicated as having a bonus... since it is a VI weapon... that must be it, but WOW! What a damage bonus!
10/10 3-Star Bastard Sword (VI)...
> Outside of dungeon: ATK +38
> While in VI dungeon: ATK + 87 :O
This is clearly the most important source of power in the game.
Looking over some numbers, and I can say that max level 2-Star gear would out power max level 3-Star gear if the 2-Star matches the dungeon. Very good to know, when tackling the elite stuff. I'm not throwing any 1-2 star stuff away anymore unless I have all duplicates combined into a ++ item (upgraded by 2 stars). Even 1 star gear has some worth in this way.
Man... leveling a 5-Star item to 20/20 max is EXPENSIVE... I think it'll cost around 150k, maybe more.
Is there a list of which dungeons were released in each update of the Japanese version of the game? Assuming it's going to be the same for us (has the launch been the same?) I'd like to take a look at what we're going to receive from here on.
Also is there a list of events that have taken place in the Japanese version of the game? I've got a few decent pieces of gear now so I'm considering simply saving mythril up, I know I can get 11 draws for the price of 10 down the line but for example were there events where you could only draw 4*+ or 5* pieces?

Good news. First event is a FFVII one with Sephiroth and Tifa.

Fuck Yah! Looking forward to tonight's Event!!
Dammit! Axiom Verge, my most anticipated PS4 title ever, releases today... could a F2P phone game keep me away from that? LOL
Something to do while waiting for stamina, at the very least...
Question... will this be a dungeon you must enter at Stage 1 every time? Obviously not, right? That would be insane... :/

Is there a use for Scarletite? Not sure what the point of today's dungeons are for, since it doesn't seem to appear in the Combine or Upgrade equipment parts.
Good drops for weapons, so it's great for farming right now. All my draws have been 3*s, and I'm not feeling powerful enough to fight through the Normal dungeons, although my team (Cloud, Kain, Tidus, Wakka, and Rydia) are all approaching level 20. Maybe I'm just being too cautious.

Oof, Tifa and Sephitroth. Two of the worst characters.
At least it's not Aeirth.

What level did you start doing Normal?
Normal should be able to be cleared fairly easily at level 16-18, assuming you're using your Mithril on rolls.
Scroll down to see the Scarletites

I assumed that th..

fuck it
Thanks.
Edit: Using it boosted my equipment significantly. Clearing Normal dungeons now. Might even try the first elite dungeon to see if I get my teeth kicked in.

The hard daily today is pretty easy compared to the past couple days. Only thing to fear is the behemoth meteor attack which only did 1k to my party.
Yep, as long as you don't get that meteor attack you can pretty easily beat it. Once that attack lands, though, rip rip.

I survived it just fine. It's only half HP.
Oh, yeah, I can survive it too, but it just kills the run unless it's on the last stage.
Thanks for this i almost have everyone around that level.

Yeah. Luckily it only happened to me on the last fight of the last stage. It seems like the final stage mobs use their big attacks right off the bat in these events.
Ok folks... don't throw away your 1-Star gear.
Max level 1-Star gear is still better than Max level 3-Star gear when used in the appropriate Dungeon.
Check out this example (I hope to upload screen shot evidence when I'm not at work):
Gaia Rod (XII) 3-Star Max lvl 10/10 (My current best rod)
ATK +12
MAG +36
ACC +89
MND +19
Rod (IV) 1-Star Max lvl 3/3
ATK +4
MAG +8
ACC +83
MND +4
Rod (IV) 1-Star Max lvl 3/3 Boosted in IV Dungeon
ATK +12
MAG +37
ACC +83
MND +19
Only a 1 point difference to MAG when used on Rydia... but there you have it.
Safe to say that 1 star gear would certainly not over-power 4 star gear, but 2 star gear might.

Running Cloud, Tidus, Kain. Tyro, and WHM right now, all around level 20. Cleared the Normal story content, but Elite seems more difficult than the Difficulty rating would suggest. Also doing Easy/Normal dailies. What level is suggested for Hard? And is there something I'm missing to Elites, or is it really more about gear synergy?
See my posts above... it's ALL about gear synergy.

Elites need gear, levels, skills, and understanding of boss mechanics.
I started completing hard events (without usibg mythril) around 25ish.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
Marginally better to wait.
For example, if I upgrade a Level 9 Crystal Sword **** (FFVI), it costs me 1340 gil an item, regardless of which item I use. If I want to put on 10 items, it costs me 13400. But if I upgrade it to a Level 10 Crystal Sword, then it costs me 1390 gil an item. But a 3.7% increase doing items independently might be an acceptable to upgrade in the mean time.
Also this goes without saying, but because upgrade costs are per-item, use your best upgrade fodder first. It makes no sense to blow 15k gil to upgrade an item one level because you're throwing level 1 fodder at it.

Anybody else the app locking up on iOS constantly while scrolling through weapons in the Upgrade screen?

I read that level 30 is recommended for the upcoming event. Hope everybody did their grinding so they can get sephiroth!

I'm nearing twenty with causal, aloof playing.
I can probably jump up if I started paying attention.

It'll be a few months. Quistis comes with Selphie in her dungeon so you'll get them together but there's a bunch of other chars that'll come before them like Edgar and Sabin.
No, Tifa and Sephiroth will appear again eventually as I've said before. I didn't get either since I joined after their dungeons in the JP version but both came back later on.
As for Tifa and Sephiroth, you'll be able to get them doing their Normal dungeons all the way through. However, if you can, you definitely want to get their Level Break items in the Force/Hard mode version as it raises their level cap to 65.
Yeah, I really doubt that's going to happen for most of us, unless the force dungeons are easy.

The hardest part of this event for me is going to be the ranged only boss. Good thing I have a 3* harp and a crappy bow laying around. I'm farming up some Thundara and boost abilities as well.
