Mt. Kolts the painting or Mt. Kolts the Plunder event?

How much Stamina does JP side have?
~140 right now.
Stamina shards are scarce. (As they should be at this point)
edit: Think of it another way. 100-160 (5-8 hours) is a good point for stamina to be in. On the other hand, when you're talking about stamina slingshots, it takes 5 stamina shards to fully recharge a bar. It takes only 1 Mythril to fully recharge a bar. Hence getting 1 Mythril is technically far better than getting 1-2 stamina shards.

I mostly care about the recharges. :I

I figured they're be slowing down. Just curious about the current maximum.

Somehow I 3-starred Ultros in Actions Taken, despite it taking what felt like a hundred actions.
see edit lol
A reward slot that's taken up by Stamina shards means a reward slot that can't contain a Mythril that you otherwise wouldn't have got.
(Although I guess they can be cocks and give you something stupid like minor growth eggs instead)

If they continued to give out stamina shards like they have we'd eventually reach a point where stamina took almost an entire day to go from 0 to completely full
I could live with that.
My stamina is almost only ever full when I wake up anyway.

I crafted Blade Blitz today. Didn't grind Humbaba at all.

Beat Atma Weapon, mastered. Used a mythril. Perhaps could have done it without but retalliate double cut got dwindled on the trash. Tips, save intimidate, magic break for second half of fight. Bring 2 healers. Fight the grenade green guy trash...seem to do less damage and often miss...mastered trash 18 of 18. Lost 4 stars on boss, damage and actions.
Anyhow...thanks for the 5 star summon orb.
Red dragon left. Will probably have to boost dark buster to rank 2.

I think I've been stealing all the luck. I've run the final boss dungeon probably 11 times in total today and I got 7 Greater Wind Orbs. I'm not even exaggerating :-/
Can confirm that you're stealing all the luck. I dumped a stamina bar and a half into Mt. Kolts (elite, event) and came away with 1 orb

It would be nice if they bundled up every client update the JP version has into a single update.

No complaints here! I'll take all the lootz.
Seriously though, 5/7 times I've done the boss he dropped the orb on my first attempt. Another time it took 4 attempts, and another time it took 2 attempts.

Any idea what the next banner is going to be for rolls? Read on reddit we get 44 mythril(20 classic/24 elite) from the next set of dungeons.
Should be Cloud's Buster Sword, Aerith's Guard Stick, some generic 5* katana, and the FFXIII gold bangle

Man, I'm gonna need to cruise through these new dungeons. I want a level 6 or 7 Buster!

Despite the coolness factor of the Buster Sword, it's honestly one of the shittier relics in the grand scheme of things. As long as you're cool with that it's still fine to want it because Buster Sword, just don't think it's gonna be super awesome or anything.

Okay, I'll take a guard stick then...2 of them. 6 star Guard Stick please.

Just enough for a 11 pull for me. Although last time my 11 pull was so bad. I currently have 0 hopes for the next one.
If only Cloud were this cool
The only way to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland is to not have any hopes whatsoever.

It was highly recommended when it first came out on first week of FFRK because it would be useful for a long time until more banners came into FFRK (especially for retaliate)
Now... there's several options that Cloud and even Cyan/Sephiroth can use for reta-meta, and Cloud's 3rd banner sword is so much better, hardedge (2nd sword) is coming out around a month from now too
If you're curious...
Buster Sword = single target 9999 damage
Hard Edge = aoe 9999 damage
3rd sword (I forgot name) = aoe multi hits that will do over 9999 damage plus permanent +10 ATK to Cloud
This probably factors to people downplaying Buster Sword at this point in FFRK, it's still a good weapon tho
I honestly think Buster Sword in the past two months have been inferior to virtually all the other 5* swords and daggers, including non-SB ones, by sheer factor of no RS to use it on. Barring Danjuro, for the exact same reason.
I mean, even Greatsword++, a 2*++ (albeit on the high end of the 2* scale) outclassed Buster Sword for VI worlds. Galbadian Sword comes very close for VIII worlds. Both were given out for free via events. (Edit: fixed this paragraph)
That's about to change with a VII event and a few VII paintings though. Coupled with a lack of VII weapons in general it shoots from "decent" to "Godlike"
(p.s. hilariously enough I have a Buster Sword and a Danjuro, only two offensive 5*s)

I've got a guard stick and a healing grimoire. No power weapons though.
All I ever get is healer staffs.
There will always be superior weapons based on RS, the appeal of Buster Sword is just because Cloud is such a great character, and it allows him to toss a 9999 damage whenever his SB bar fills up, I didn't bother using RS weapons and put Buster Sword on Cloud everywhere I go and still did 3k+ retaliate damage with boost/armor break
I'm dreading the elite bosses of the Tidus event. The lack of FFX synergy of any kind is real.
Been dreaming about that soul break since it was released. Almost no boss has immunity to sap and it's stronger than poison. So good.
Just want to point out it's not 9999 damage, just a very high multiplier. (You won't be hitting 9999 on those enemies with ridiculous 400+ defense)

I sure do. Only stamina loss is during sleep at night. In the UK this is going to interrupt that because the maintenance is at a time when I'll just be waking up to run down the stamina for the morning, ready again for midday. So I can't use up my stamina before then unfortunately. Well not unless I get up much earlier but I'm not a morning person to begin with

Praying they don't extend maintenance any further. Wait is killing me.
