So, I'm trying to farm Protect Vests [for the Shinra event]. Is there a particular trick in farming it, or do I just need to keep continually going through Antlion's Den hoping it drops? That's a lot of wasted Stamina if it doesn't. The same goes for Mythril Armlet [Baron's Castle] and Iron Bangle [Mount Hobs].
Is there any chance specific enemies drop it, such as the end boss for each stage? If so, could the "Retreat Method" work?

That's fine I'd be down to pay something like 10$ or 15$ for 11 relic draws, but 30$ is a bit steep don't ya think?
My party can already auto-run the Gil dungeon on hard with the right gear. Making crazy money.me irl right now after the gil dungeon went live:
Will we get harder versions of these daily dungeons sometime?

Yeah pretty much me right now:
Got 10K Gil after one round on hard mode. I can potentially make like 40k after 3 rounds lol (including the rewards of course)

Where is best to grind xp? I need to beef up Rydia.
The Sunday daily. It's what I'm planning on doing too.

Damn I thought the daily mythril reward reset each day. Did hard mode finally but now it's going to be tough to get mythril
Indeed. Especially when we eventually finish the elite dungeons. How we supposed to get Mytrill then? Besides getting one once a week or something?
Jeez, just got 16K now from just one round on hard mode. The gill here if you are capable of doing it is pretty damn awesome.

Oh yes, very much, I posted this exact thing the day I started.
But I didn't mind dropping $3 for one draw and if I keep playing, I'll do it again at some point.

So the new update yesterday(?) fixed my menus for the most part on my Galaxy S5. Much better experience than before, and it's a hell of a lot easier doing things now.
I have so much inventory space now thanks to all that gil

I assumed this was some exploitative trash given Square Enix's history with mobile but I've been seeing some positive opinions. Is it worth spending time on?
If you think square is putting out exploitive trash then just skip this one too. This is about as exploitive as their other games which is to say, not much at all.

Um. Square-Enix has dozens upon dozens of mobile games and only one of them might qualify as questionably bad (and some people still liked it).
Levelling up Sephiroth since he seems pretty good. I'll boot him once I get VIII characters.
I'll definitely check it out! I do need some new visual novel recommendations.
Eh 3$ for a piece is not justifiable for me.
On another note, where is the best place farming 2 star thunder orbs? I did mako reactor 5 elite and got like 5 3 star ones but i need the 2 star ones

I don't think there's anywhere to get them besides the daily dungeons (yet).
It's generally better to use trash items to level up other items and combine them, even one star items can become beast when they are ++ and matched to the dungeon.
Disagree.
This game is capitalism and business from start to finish. This makes AAA game design seems like a pool of creativity. FFRK is created with the sole and final reason of making money and nothing else. I doubt this was a product of a writer, director or any artist who wanted to make something to express themselves. Just a calculated, manufactured product to check all the F2P boxes. (I'd say this one is even worse than other F2P games because it is mostly rehashing content from other games).
That said, it doesn't mean you can't have fun with it. And If you don't want to even try it on principle, that's fine too.
Aren't most games made to make money...?

I don't consider it paying for an item, but paying for the game or tipping the developers for my time spent since it was otherwise free. *shrug*
I did the same, but spent my gems on more equipment slots.

How does it work? 1 Mythril for a new slot for 1 character? Allows me to equip let's say a Helm and a Body armor?
Well, yes and no. If you can handle the idea of playing in small bursts a few times a day, then this could be the game for you. Though, it does have a good way of sinking its teeth into you via the nostalgia trip, and then piling on the stamina requirements to do anything.
I've gotten into the habit of playing a little every 2.5 hours, several times a day, and I'm making a decent amount of progress. I refuse to spend any money on it, but as long it allows me to play without feeling like spending a money is a requirement to make progress, then I will continue to play it.
The daily dungeons and events go a long way in making the experience fun and rewarding for continued play. I haven't felt like I'm missing out much by not spending cash, although I've felt somewhat frustrated when I was farming certain items and they refused to drop. You are at the mercy of rng, and if it's not in your favor, you can waste tons of stamina on nothing.
As far as being exploitative, well.. yeah, when the stamina requirements jump to 10-12+ per segment of a dungeon, it does feel like it's pushing the limit of its consumer friendly boundaries. Mind you, there's really no rush to beat elite dungeons and the like as long as you're able to do the event that's available, that's a good goal to aim for. Elite dungeons are just the icing on the cake, so even with the high stamina requirements, you can sort of forgive the stamina sink.
With all that said, this is definitely not a game for everyone. The inability to play for extended periods of time without ponying up the dough is a deal-breaker for many gaming traditionalists. I don't play many mobile games, because of their egregious cash-grabbing nature, but because I dove into this game knowing what to expect.. given that it's a freemium title, I haven't had too many qualms with it.
If you want to be able to dive in head first and marathon the content, goodluck. You'll prolly have to spend a lot of cash. If you intend to take it slowly, but not necessarily casually since you'll want to make the most of your stamina, then give it a shot. There's some fun to be had. As for myself, I think I will be playing this until I get bored without having to drop a dime.
PS. If you're looking for a deep plot and innovative gameplay mechanics, you're in the wrong place. The game is to be played for its traditional rpg gameplay, stat/character growth, acquiring familiar characters, and overcoming the next hurdle in your path. It's definitely not something to write home about on the originality front.

Slots expand your maximum inventory capacity.
One Mythirl for five extra inventory (or ability) slots.
That's an interesting way to look at it. And makes sense, welp here goes 3$ XD.

Oh I see, thanks! Got confused since it appears in the equipment menu and not in the inventory one.

What's the best way to get new armor for my mages? They're really squishy and constantly dying. I just finished the last classic dungeon and my guys are 17-22, but my mages are more like 10-15 because they're always dying
Also, people keep saying whip has auto damage, but i equipped onto rydia and nothing. Am I missing something?

Upgrade and combine stuff you can get multiples of to get ++ versions of them.
And/or match their armor you equip them with to the dungeon you're in (ie: VI armor when in FF VI dungeons).
Edit: This may or may not be obvious, but it's something I thought of reading your post; MAKE SURE THEY ARE IN BACK ROW.

Am I missing something on elite ant lion? He is constantly countering for high damage.

I haven't fought Elite, but Classic only counters physical attacks. Try magic.

Way too much hp, burnt through my magic with no sign of slowing down.

Just got a Genji Helm (Kreygasm) my first 5 star item.
Can someone explain upgrading and weapon combining to me? It's clear that there is some diminishing return when it comes to upgrading higher star items with lower star items, but then using scarletites or admantites seem to fill up the improvement progress bar dramatically but then don't actually give any stats.
Also, weapon combining seems to really not do anything other than give you the + sign and allow you to throw a few more upgrades on the weapon, which is useless if you are upgrading a one or two star which can be replaced by an inherently stronger 4 or 5 star weapon if you are lucky enough to get one.
