Where's a good place to grind for some decent Greater Orbs?
I've nothing to do today otherwise

Some stamina costs are probably more than a few standard deviations off because of low sample size but there you go.

So much stamina being wasted chasing Josef's RM2... I don't know if I can keep doing this.

I'm spending today clearing FFVIII elites to help ease the Growth Egg need for the new gals. I'll probably focus on elites today and tomorrow, probably pay for a refill on Saturday and try to end the day at 3/5 or 4/5 stamina shards. Sunday is EXP, EXP, EXP. I'll clear a cheap elite for a refill and maaaaaybe pay for one more depending on how I'm feeling.
Monday I will finish (or attempt to) the FFVIII event.
I'm pretty close to having 250 Mythril, I figure I'll wait until the next relic festival thing to splurge.

It is really a drag. I'm on garnet now but not taking it nearly as seriously since it is really only for completion purposes. just keep it up, you'll get there. It really helps with retaliate.

If I had to farm realm specific RM I'd choose to take some cores that also need RM2 along
...which begs the question, what am I doing getting Josef ahead of Ranger and *sigh* Bard level-wise?
Shame they all can't be cores/Vivi but if they were that might make the chances even worse.
(for at least double the disappointment)

I pulled it for you. Some 2* FFIV armour (Bard's Tunic or Gaia Gear don't care which). Yep Common Draw alright...
I'd personally do that one during the next FFIX event. As the first room there is likely to be much better than how much stamina the FFIX dungeons. Worse drops though so in some respects it might still be better to proceed as you are.

Decided to create Break just for the Seymour fight. I think I S/L-ed about 20+ times or more just to hit that 2 guados.
The future of FFRK:
- They are "working" on a way of having different versions of characters (example: Rydia/Adult Rydia, Yuna/Gunner Yuna ect) and they are hoping to release it in 2015.
- They strongly hinted they are working on a Final Fantasy Tactics event/dungeon
- More collaboration events with non-FF titles (they mentioned Secret of Mana)
- A future story that focuses on Tyro
- A major UI overhaul will be happening in August
- Ability recycling and Orb Conversion are coming (they gave an example of 10 4* orbs being converted into 1 5* orb

The new UI is swank, too bad we'll have plus a few months from the Japanese release to get it.

good fucking lord i like that.
though it's not so much the UI but the jankiness of the programming that is the fault here. hopefully it's not all cosmetic and there's some backend tightening going on, plus that all important 'REMOVE ALL MY STUFF FROM THE GUYS NOT IN MY PARTY PLEASE' button.

Thanks for the idea of using Advance. I did that w/ this party and was able to get Mastery w/ only 1 star loss for Turns.
My Materia setup was: Double Hit on Tidus, Sky Pirate's Pride on Wakka, Self Sacrifice on Cloud, Devotion on Vivi (this was useless, as I didn't actually do any spell casting after the 2 Deaths) and Preemptive Strike on Yuna.
I started the fight activating Carbuncle and Kirin while killing the guards w/ Death x2. Then I set up my Reta+Boost+Advance trio as I finished off Seymour. I used Armor Break and burst down Anima as fast as I could and then put up a fresh Carbuncle for an easy win on Seymour by himself.

One improvement I really want is for the Party menu to have a "Back" button that takes you back to whatever screen you accessed it from (ie: a dungeon select). Also, it would be nice if it didn't change music unless you access from the main Realm menu.

Beat the last part of the FF8 event with this team:
Did it with a OWA RW
Squall's RM was Zealot which I forgot to take off, but probably helped a bit during the trash rounds

Tbh this is disappointing. The core gameplay is still exactly the same. I want some different game modes or something else more unique. Story/events/dailies all play out exactly the same. Sometimes I wonder why I still play this game. There's just not a lot to it and that doesn't seem to be changing ever.

That every event now is a challenge event that plays out the same way is getting pretty dull. Unlock characters at 5 and 10 and heir crystals at 4 and 6 elite or whatever and have two somewhat challenging rounds in elite 9-10, a boss rush that may or may not be challenging and now multiple bosses in the round, which isn't that different from what we've seen. I liked it mixed up with survival and collection events. But obviously we know what's coming for the next few months of this and it is just more of the same.

Still can't get Garnets Heal RM. pretty much wasted away 2 days worth of stamina trying for it and not a sniff.

You're welcome!
I've been an Advance advocate since early on, I started using it because it was an FFIII character but I quickly realized how jacked it was (it's almost cheating with retaliate, haha).
For anybody else using this method, I would suggest Magic Break/Breakdown for the middle monster, it hits HARD. Like 3000 hard. Power Breaks aren't needed at all. Otherwise, this setup is pretty solid.
Mobage's core gameplay never changes. I think you need to look for a different game if you want a drastic change in the gameplay.

- to beat the last Yuna stage... I cannot even get past the trash mobs. They have so much health and deal so much damage
Well that was... hard. No Mythril refill, no Continues.
I didn't really have much choice because I am lacking stuff like BM RM1/2, WM RM1/2 etc. so I had to follow my own strategy to a tee.
Here is my team used in this fight:
Strategy that I have came up with and described above:
- use Protectga in the first Dungeon, then Auto Attack all waves (worked)
- use Protectga in the second Dungeon, then Auto Attack all waves (worked)
- (out of Protectga at this moment)
- use Quake in the third Dungeon - I had to only use it twice because the third wave was one single robot (worked very, very well)
- (I still did not heal ONCE)
- I entered the Seymour battle with 4x Firajas, 2x Quake, 1x Carbuncle, 0x Protectga, all the other abilities at max and 2x RW Healing Grimoire.
The battle was very tough. I had to S/L anytime he cast Protect on himself because I was just not able to damage him enough. Unprotected, Armor Breaked special attacks were doing 2000-2500 damage to him; normal attacks 1600. Mental Break + Focus gave me 7000 Quake damage (x2) and 9999 Firaja damage (x4). The rest was all done bit by bit (2000) by the rest of my team and sometimes his own reflected spells. Without the two RW heals I would never win this battle as I ran out of abilities when he lost about 110 000 HP then it was AUTO ATTACK hoping for a win... oh yeah, Carbuncle lasted only for like half of the fight :|
One last thing: FUCK YOU DENA for forcing me to use a real-life CALCULATOR in order to calculate in real-time how many damage I did to him and do I have a chance to win it in the end! Where dem HP BARS AT?!?
I guess I can spend 3 of my Mythril on the Boss Rush refresh now because the bosses are easier there than in the Elite, right? Seymour has less health, correct? Ixion is worth one or two Mythril!

Anima kept using Pain. What kind of attack is that? Is it a magic attack that bypasses reflect?
I used Power Breakdown but that didn't seem to lower the damage. However, I also had Carbuncle up and would still get hit. I figured Power Breakdown + Reflect would make damage negligible, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Decided to farm in prevision of Ruinga. 270 Stamina, 0 Greater Orb in the daily today. Fuck you RNG... Lots of 3* orbs to combine... In 8 months!

Pain is magic damage, my non-Mastery win discovered that.
I had both Breaks and assumed it was physical too.
Lesson learned and applied to my Mastery round.
Beat the EX++ Yuna event battle but didn't master it. Couldn't even nearly beat Anima before it used Oblivion. The rest of the battle was fine though.
Killed off both of the guardians with R2 Death, and used Carbuncle on Seymour at the end (he didn't even touch my party). Anima is the only real problem. I threw everything I had at her.
I even had to reset at one point because Pain went from doing ~1700 damage to doing 4000 damage on Wakka for some reason, killing him instantly.
I think i'll be able to master it at some point, maybe. But killing Anima is gonna be an issue.
The rewards aren't THAT good anyway, so i'm not that bothered.

Woo, I went from 99 to 102 stamina today and I might be able to get another +2 before the night is over.
Daaaaaamn, I'm liking the new look! I agree that some streamlining/lag reduction would seal the deal, though. Won't be any fun if the new UI runs even worse than this one.
I will be giving all of my mythril to Gunner Yuna and FFT. When I get nothing but 3* I will
Not really it doesn't look swank? Or not really it'll take a few extra months for the changes to hit global?

Boss Rush tonight doesn't sound easy... So many abilities I want to bring. Ice, Thunder and Bio are mandatory for medals. At least Magic and Power Break/Breakdown, Protectga and some cure. That's 7 abilities, you probably want 2 characters with thunder spells so 8. Slow is pretty useful on a few bosses, leaving you 1 extra ability. Blind is super useful for X-ATM092 but it might need to be replaced by a more damaging ability. Thinking about Rinoa RW to help on the 2 bosses weak to thunder. To maximize her, Mental Break/Breakdown would be great, taking the 10th ability slot.
Also, for this Boss Rush, they actually have more HP than their Elite versions...
12 medals can be lost out of 5 bosses.
Edit: I am scared to run a 500 000HP+ pool event without Retaliate...

The upcoming changes look great to me. And hell yes at FFT! I'll go all Wazzy and save up 1000 mythril just for that. Tactics is one of my all time favorite games and, actually, Secret of Mana was one of the first RPGs I ever played. I still have my SNES copy, box and all.
Now give us Chrono Trigger!
I finished the VII elite's today. I didn't think they were too bad but I have decent VII gear. I've just been going in sequential order with the realms, except that I skipped the newer VI dungeons for now. Everyone has me scared of Storm Dragon.

Could try killing Ifrit multiple times if you don't want to burn the mythril.
