Are there two different dailies that give power orbs now?

Yes. Tues = Power & Black. Thurs = Power & White.

And yet I still won't ever have enough lesser power orbs :'[
Honestly, Lustrous Shield is overrated, only useful as a friend summon while retaliate meta era. If you are a fan of Cecil, then

Firaja to 3? Or save the orbs for something else. I guess the choice is between Phoenix two and firaga r3, I am short 4 greater fires to do both.

My Firaja is at 3. Spell can be a bit overkill, but its glorious.
You ran out of fire orbs? Damn, I still have truck full left after that previous event that was dishing multiples of them on the boss.

Yeah, it's mostly the latter. FFIV is my favourite in the series, so I'm interested in FFIV soul break gear especially.Honestly, Lustrous Shield is overrated, only useful as a friend summon while retaliate meta era. If you are a fan of Cecil, then
edit: Did a 100 gem pull on the new banner and got the Kaiser Knuckles. At least I've got some XIII synergy gear now.

Reached a hurdle with the Firaja elite in the Tidus event. I can beat it, but not without drastically depleting my abilities. I've got:
Tidus (51) / Fencing Saber++, Mystery Veil, Durable Power Wristband / Dark Buster (2), Armor Break (4)
Cloud (50) / Buster Sword, Emerald Shield, Hyper Wrist / Blizzard Strike (4), Armor Break (2)
Wakka (50) / Danjuro, Crusader Mask++, Hyper Wrist / Double Cut (4), Intimidate (6)
Rinoa (46) / Light Rod, Crusader Cuirass++, Angel Wings / Comet (4), Firaga (6)
Vanille (45) / Judgment Staff, Gaia Vest, Angel Ring / Curaga (10), Cura (8)
Should I be taking a different approach for Sinspawn Ammes and Echuilles? Just switch to retaliate and go to town after I get Ammes paralyzed and there's one spawn left?

Hey hey, a masamune for me and a 4* wizard armless x! Not bad. The other two pulls were a flame shield iv (yuck)and a storm staff xii, already have one. What is the point of having a staff have an elemental add, since the mag will be lower than a rod. Very confusing
My two 5 star weapons are the masamune and the giant gloves. Talk about no versatility in character use there. Oh well, better than nothing. And far better than what I've been getting lately.

Swap comet for quake, save quake for the last battle to take out all three adds at the same time. Dump cura for boost. Retaliate. Dump one armor break for blade blitz to clear trash or help in the last battle, I saved two uses for the last.

Mastered Karnak this time. Was at 100 no shards. Then 100 four shards. Mastery shard reset my stamina. Looks like everyone who had shards got screwed with no automatic refill.

Same except Murasame. I think prefer Murasame for the shared SB, we'll see.
actually i think murasame is better since they share VII synergy and seph will wear the better of the two, oh well

I think i'm done with this piece of shit game.
They need to adjust the way 11 pulls work. It's bullshit to save up 100 Mythril, then do 2 11 pulls and only get 4, 4* items out of all of it.
It's fucking bullshit, and it's not worth the headaches of playing it.
That's 22 pulls, 82% of them 3* shit, 18% 4* and 0% 5*.
I've only gotten 1 5* pull, and I started on launch day

The Gaia Blade looks cool. Good weapon for Terra.
I know your pain. If the game isn't enjoyable for you then you should definitely drop it, but don't let the immediate frustration of some bad pulls sway you. I've been down that road before. (4 times.)

Then you read posts on reddit of people who got a 5* on both 100 gems pull so far and shit like that. RNG can be cruel to some... I did a few 11 pull that were shit. I am frustrated with my RNG luck but I guess that I love the game enough to keep playing because I enjoy it again once the bitter taste of shit pulls is gone (which is quickly now that I got use to it).
My first four 11-pulls totaled 36 3* and 8 4*. I feel you.
Don't feel bad. My first 11 pull and it was unsurprisingly terrible:
Wrong Enhancer. Wrong FFVII weapon. Another fucking FFV bow. Staves! FFXII Equipment!!
el oh el
At least I'll make a fake 5* out of that FFVI Myhtril Mail. Yay?
*cherishes Danjuro as the only 5* relic draw*

Yep, more evidence it needs to change.
You don't keep people playing when some have really good luck, and others have luck that defies odds the other way.
I would shrug it off, but the content keeps getting harder to the point where if you were fucked with draws, you simply can't complete the content.
Oh, and to top it all off? They fixed VIT0 in the JP version.

The only thing I really wish they would change is the cost of an 11 pull. If they brought it to $20 instead it would be a lot more enticing to pay for them.
But otherwise you've gotta expect bad pulls more so than good. I obviously was very lucky with my VIII pulls but otherwise I haven't pulled any other SB's other than Rinoa's and I'm generally in the 4 and 3* pulls with the exception of my Tidus banner pull where I was lucky to get the Bracer.

Similar to Cloud except no Samurai skills (retaliate) but 1 level higher spellblade and his gunblade is ranged
You be the judge
He isn't.

I've only got three from 250. And two of them are doubles of a non-SB staff and the other one is a non-SB piece of armor.
Don't let bad pulls break you. If you still enjoy the other aspects of the game, keep going.
Wait Squall is definitely next or is it Shinra?
I don't know if he's better than existing characters but he isn't bad.
How so? Everything I've seen shows he's pretty good, especially with his later relics.

It's interesting
IMO the issue is the FF brand into a gatcha mobile game when past FF games taught you to seek out best equipment/spells/summons (Knights of the Round, Ultima Weapon, Excalibur, Zodiark, etcetc)
It's frustrating especially for those die-hard FF fans that played the series traditionally and expect to get endgame gear
Now FFRK: the final boss for best gear is rng and only can be defeated by throwing mythril/money at it
Really wish it would be adjusted for the better, I'm also part of "11 pull all 3*" club a couple times

I think with the rate that he seems to gets new stuff he'll end up being great, but right out of the gate he looks like a worse version of Cloud.
Though I suppose that's better than a lot of melee characters so far.
I think I am the poster child for f'd up pulls. I've lost count of how many 3* items I have. But the game gives you so many free pulls, I can't really complain too much. Paying $30 and getting 3 star is a far, far more frustrating feeling.
I'm about to do my 11 pull. Here comes a bunch of 3 star!

My $1 draw got my a 4 star dagger which got me somewhat excited
And then I realized it was a FFXII weapon

Ah that's fair. I know he's apparently the second character to get the level increase along with Cloud so that might be a reason to keep him in mind too plus two of his SB's are pretty great(as long as you can actually get them lol) but yeah I know he's similar to Cloud.

It's actually 1/10
The actual drop rate of 5* should be 1/10 unless the algorithm is a loaded die, and that's what the average should be. =P
People who have one 5* out of 40 pulls are simply unlucky. At best, they went 20 pulls without a 5*, which puts them in a 12% probability. At worst, they have 39 pulls without 5*, which is a 1.6% probability.
Someone needs to make a list of all upcoming equipment from event rewards so I know if I should keep any of these 3* uselessness. =P
Yup, true to form, 10 3* items and 1 4* item. I'm pretty sure I'm leading the pack in three star items from pulls. I don't even get annoyed anymore. It's to be expected.
Yeah, he'll no doubt be a certified badass if you can get one of those later SB weapons.
And given your luck with FFVIII draws I'm sure you will.

I assume once we get FFXII paintings and events all the super common 3 and 4 star FFXII weapons will be replaced by FFXI weapons and armor
