That's not the same as 100 mythril. 300 gems = 1 pull of the machine = 5 mythril.
Interestingly, there's a different conversion rate between inventory and gacha pulls. One pull is 5 mythril or 300 gems, but 1 inventory upgrade is 100 gems and 1 mythril.
so using gems for upgrading inventory is a better deal than using mythril, because those mythril are better spent on the gacha machine.
Also, I believe each time you upgrade (so 100 gems) you get 5 inventory slots, not 1.

Oh god the stamina cost of the higher Shinra floors ;-;

Depends, if you can clear the first stage of Hard, that is better.

Sorry, I meant per slot upgrade.
Five Mythril would be twenty-five slots, three hundred gems would be fifteen.
Both of those get one relic pull, so you get more bang using Mythril on slot upgrades.
No, it's the opposite. if you're going to spend cash, use gems for relics and Mythril for slot upgrades (assuming you want both).

Has anyone made a summon? Was wondering about damage and curious if honing to max could finally make them usable... Would take forever though.

Honing only increases uses, not strength.

Yeah.... That's why I'm asking...

Doh, you're right. Confusing.

I just beat the first ranged boss, hows the second? I have 4 thunderas but I'm wondering if it's worth wasting the stamina tomorrow to get to the boss only to get shut down.
It's much harder than the first. Bring Tyro with Cure and Protect to keep Rydia alive, bring Kain with Jump (and grind the prior stages to make sure Double Jump is ready), put Thunder on Rydia in addition to your Thundara in case 4 shots isn't enough.
Not bad at all. I only have four Thundara too, and I only burned through...three of them, I think it was? I also had Thunder Strike on Tyro, and used Kain's Jump twice [I used Boost on Kain, via Tidus].
If you're properly leveled, you should be fine.
Yeah, I can. I'll stick with it then.

Cheers. So he's weak to thunder as well? Cool, that means all the time I spent grinding to hone thundara one rank won't be a waste. I ended up only needing 2 for the first ranged boss.
My party's all in the early twenties so I've been relying on gear mainly. How essential is dark attack for Rufus?
Yeah, the next boss is weak to Thunder, as well. As for Dark Attack, it rarely sticks, but if it does, it makes the final battle a lot easier. I'm not sure how important it is [since I've yet to do the boss battle myself], but I've read it can be a great help.
Trying to figure out what I want to do with my party.
Currently rolling with Cloud, Kain, Seph, Rydia, Tyro
I want to replace Tyro with another healer/support eventually... What is the best option in the Japanese version that I can look forward to?
Since Kain is playing pretty much a melee DPS role right now, would it be smart to replace him with DK Cecil or Paladin Cecil?

Question about upgrading equipment. Say I combine two 1* to make a 2* piece of equipment. Once I max out that piece, can I use another 1* piece to combine with it again or will I have to upgrade a lower ranked piece to be on the same level first? Trying to figure out how many Kunai's and Fighting Gloves to farm
You only need the piece you're evolving/combining to be maximum level. The ones you're fusing into it can be Level 1.
Thanks. That will save a lot of time, money and materials then. Iwas worried I'd have to increase the rank of the other piece in order to combine with my already evolved piece. Kunai farming is fine since I'm doing it in North Mines where I get L, Wind Orbs as well.

Gotta let my stamina recharge so that I can do another run of the daily to hopefully have enough lesser darks for tomorrow's daily to get lesser thunders so I can upgrade thundara to level 2.
Equipment tip: Cecil's event Mount Ordeals 9th Station, Part 3 drops Leather Armor, and I got a bunch of Silk Robe but didn't pay attention from where. Those are useful for the FFVI elites.
I'll keep Sephiroth in my party. He's my black status magic user. Dark Cecil can't do that. But he'll be my first choice on the bench.
All the event accessories have bloated my inventory. I think I'll throw away all the FFXII garbage they give us needlessly. I was saving some armor and swords, but if the Japanese version is anything to go by, that series won't be added until June.
I did one test run today and got 16k on normal and 50k on hard, so hard would be better. But finish all the dungeon to get the extra 12k, don't just do the first one and quit.
That list is in the western version, but it doesn't have the drop rates.

I just checked the JP version and the US version. It looks like they haven't added the button for it yet in the US version. In the JP version, you can go to the bottom of a Relic gatcha and check all of the 5 Stars. The ones with increased rates are at the top.
10% chance (in general) to get a 5 Star though the individual rates for certain ones might be lower.
That list is in the western version, but it doesn't have the drop rates.

Yeah, why the hell are they giving so much XII gear when there is no XII stuff available?

Nope. Only the Weapon and Armor upgrade do.

How are you guys getting so many high star relics? Do you just grind that much?
I've been grinding the orb and gil dungeons today and leveling up some of my abilities finally.

I've decided to burn the rest of my stamina tonight on the Hard Orb Dungeon, Paladin Cecil can wait a day.
Could be intentional. Like "oh, here's a more common default set that has zero chance of any synergy as a fallback".

It's the only rare I have and it is damn handy. Needing 2 levels of charge can be inconvenient though.
I'm not sure what white mages does but my lvl 23 Tyro heals the party for 1700.

As someone who's never played FFIV, can someone explain the job difference between these two Cecil's?
In FFRK? I think Paladin Cecil can use white magic.

Are you talking in FFIV for real or in Record Keeper?
In FFIV Cecile starts in the Dark Knight class and has access to a special dark ability that allows him to sacrifice some of his hp to do an all enemy attack (in the DS version I believe it drains his health but gives him a strength boost). About 1/3 of the way though the game Cecile is told he must rid the darkness within him or he'll never be able to beat the bad guy, so he climbs Mt Ordeals and becomes a Paladin by facing himself. As a paladin Cecile loses the dark ability and instead gains access to the guard ability (defend in place of weak allies) and white magic while being reverted back to level 1 but with better stat growths.
In Record Keeper you'll have to ask someone else
Edit: Also for the Record in the non DS versions of the game I feel like Paladin Cecile is a huge downgrade as the dark special ability is WAAAAAAY better then the guard and white magic abilities. Even in the areas where Cecile is your only healer he's not a very good healer.

Decided to buy some gems today and do an 11 pull. Got one 5 star but it's a Genji Armor. Not the best draw but I suppose it'll help me get through FFV elites. Got a bunch of 4* though. My full list was:
5*
Genji Armor (V)
4*
Sledgehammer (XII)
Gravity Rod (VI)
Sage's Staff (IV)
Hypno Crown (V)
Crystal Armor (V)
3*
Black Cowl (IV)
Black Cowl (IV)
Stoneblade (VI)
Storm Spear (XII)
Punisher (IV)
That's probably it for a while, i think it will take me forever to upgrade all this anyway.

Part of the reason I want to lvl up both cecils. Only using pld right now, but will start with Drk on Sunday.
