I didn't realise that about runic either and skipped over it a bunch because of it. I'll have to start looking for good ways to make use of it now.

Final Fantasy: Record Keeper |OT2| I HAVE NO MYTHRIL AND I MUST SHOUT

Ultimate exdeath comes to mind, being immune to everything bar vacuum wave would be useful to anyone who already has their own mitigation.
Also, I never realised we'd gone back to the past, with Fusoya and Strago needing to be in their own realms for RMs. Had strago in my b team since I got him and wondered why he ws so stubborn. Been trying to get Fusoyas in Japan the last month too. I assumed that nonsense had stopped and couldn't have read that in Japanese even if I tried to. Ah sure...grindy mcgrinderson time again. Strago can stay at home for a while...the deceptive prick.
Is the FFIX event starting today?
Today was the worst day since I started playing. My stamina is full the the entire day and the only time I managed to play was destroyed by elite Belias. Went for Ricards MC and for some reason thought I could go into the battle unprepared. Not the best idea so, yeah, 80 atamina wasted.

Hey GAF, Meteor or Flare?
Without even the slightest doubt. It's infinitely more useful right now.

Flare. Flare will (should?) be very useful for super bosses if you can get it to x4 uses.
Meteor seems way over-hyped here; it's the same power as 4★ summons, which are far easier to hone (especially if you get a crack at an Orb Festival). The general consensus seems to be that it's useful for clearing enemies in Difficulty 130+ dungeons, but you can accomplish the same with a summon OR use Ruinga in conjunction with standard attacks, which builds up Soul Breaks for when you get to the boss.

Decided to do so myself as well (along w/ 5* non-SBs, just because):
I don't think I have SBs that are OP with Lifesiphon+Ace Striker, but I could probably use that to decent effect with Zack, Lightning, Thancred, or D.Cecil. Maybe Galuf or Cyan as well.
I just shattered all my 'aga' spells. Thought long and hard about it but with a bit of orb conversion I now have two R4 Thundajas instead of one and two 'agas' and all my other 4* spells are R4 with a second copy on at least R2 across the board. 2nd ruinga too as well as bioga and drainga...I'm sure there will be something I come up against where I regret not having a third weakness spell, but from my time playing Japan the agas seem to not be cutting it further forward, even against weak to that element bosses.
I wouldn't make either given how much better the upcoming 5* abilities are.
I'm at 350 mythrils now *hoarding intensifies*
Still so much classic dungeons to catch up, and don't even talk about elites @_@
So yeah, I'll probably have 500 mythrils for SSSSB fest/Tactic, not really interested in Cloud's BSB.
Edit : just checked, I'm currently in DU 12 for classics.

And when those are out, there will be even better ones on the horizon from those.
So to be safe, never pull relics and never make abilities.

Woo, I'm down to forty; that's including the new update, Tuesdays and Sundays being reserved and doing all the events and bonus battles.
I'm at 375.
I thought I was going to be able to double eleven pull on every banner for the next Soul Break Celebration event, but if that's going to be on or around the anniversary there's (probably) going to be Orb Dungeons and Lucky Banners as well, so so much for that idea (maybe I can pull it off at Burst Soul Break Celebration, haha).

I've also been considering this.
What's the math on 6% eleven times (well, twelve counting the gem pull)?
PixyJunket

That's not.. frightfully bad, but possibly still in "save for celebration" territory.

I haven't actually added anything up, but it feels like it's been months since I've been sitting on my mythril and I have 260 at the moment. Everyone who's closing in on 500 must not have pulled anything in a half a year. That's pretty crazy to save up for so long with a chance of not getting what you're possibly saving for. Feels bad man.

what better way to finally quit the game
The amount of S/L that I'm doing in some of the level 130+ elites is crazy. I was an Elite (I think it was a IX) and my Zidane got Firaga'd for 5k+.
Basically either I S/L until my Mage goes first so I can Ruinga or pray that I kill the offender with my melee before it gets a turn.

Yeah, but in this instance a noticeable spike in the number of useful 5* abilities is actually imminent and meteor/flare have been around forever. If you've gotten by without them so far it's not an ideal time to invest the major orbs.
jasminlovesyoux
Banned
What are the abilities that are imminent? Are you talkin next few events?
I'm 2 major black orbs away from being able to hone Meteor from r2 to r3. Are you saying there's something better than meteor I should use em on?
Exploding Fist, Flashing Blade, Thief Raid and Saint's Cross should all be out in the next few months, to say nothing of the 6* stuff (Ultima, etc.) that should come with the abyss dungeons.
Obviously none of them use major black orbs, though, so I wouldn't worry about that. I'm not even sure what the next thing is that does.
EDIT: Not in the next few events, no. More like between now and the FFT event.
I thought to do the same thing. You'd think a week one player would be rolling in more stuff but...
(not counting the halloween/christmas/new years freebies)
I'm definitely not hurting for synergy on some reals (or VII bracers), but I feel like I'm cursed to double/triple up on niche stuff like mage throwers and whips, which kinda limits my party comp for harder content. Giant's Glove being my first relic pull kinda set the tone for how the rest of my pulls have gone.
p.s. you can't convert to crystals anyway when Abyss drops.
Yeah, but the abyss event gives you enough crystals to craft it right? I wasn't sure.

Googled them to see what they were all about but I couldn't find Flashing Blade. What's that one do?
Nope. You've to complete event ultimates for crystals to make up the right amount...Ive cleared two abyss dungeons and got to the 2nd last battle on the other three. I'm no where near crafting a 6 star ability. I just beat my first ultimate and ultimate plus in the current mobius event, so I should get there eventually now. But don't expect to have 6* abilities quickly. Obviously if you're able to clear every ultimate and ultimate + it will be quicker
Was a postscript with regards to hoarding orbs rather than crafting contemporary abilities, I meant. Just in case anyone was getting the wrong idea.
It's the Samurai one; physical aoe with 100% hit.
That sucks, though it doesn't seem totally unreachable at least.

Can you pop off a shellga on round 1/3? You should be able to have it last all 3 rounds.

Finally got around to fighting Godo.
Wow, that was pretty easy. Have good FF7 synergy too.

Yea, Godo wasn't much trouble. Bioga (ra?) could hurt but that was about it. Lady Beatrix will put us back in our place soon though.
On the elite front, I've finished all of them in realms 1-4 and 13. I'm about done with 5. I thought about creating meteor r2 but i've been clearing difficulty 140 without problems so I'll probably just save the orbs.

Mrgrgr got to the point in elites where I have to deal with dark bahamut or wall (far)
D: fuuuuuuck those fights were annoying on classic

Hell, I'm not even finished all my classic dungeons. Really ought to invest more time in that than events where my synergy is hot garbage.

Looking forward to what armor strike can do in v and xii where I have 5 star heavy armors that are never equipped. He'll maybe even get some use out of my IV genji shield and my vi flame shield.

I have 2 vivi rods, 1 eiko head gear, 1 steiner sword, and 1 generic 5 star claw for ff9 synergy plus the freebie stuff. I always feel weird when people say ffix has little synergy since I've been so lucky
Finally up to 127 Stamina and making decentish progress through the core dungeons, morale is super low right now though >_>.
Can't decide if I want to pull on the FF9 banners or not. I have ZERO FF9 synergy, but at the same time I've had 0/55 streaks etc so it's not like I can count on getting anything. Also have been more or less planning to save all of my mythril for the SSB and FFT stuff coming up, currently at 176 mythril. I'll at least do 100-gem pulls on each, maybe I'll get lucky?

You should see how far you can get through the ff9 event and then decide if you need to pull to beat it.
Yeah, on the events I've just been getting the MC2 (which is usually a struggle) and stopping there, I don't have the gear/abilities/levels for most realms to actually do all of the + stuff. If I can barely swing by getting the MC2 I'm happy with that.
I almost didn't do a 100 gem pull on Yuffie's second banner because my stockpile of gems was out. Decided to just plunk in $1.
Pulled Clear Tranquil
I actually already had Yuna's AOE Heal (I refuse to call these skills Medicas), so it wasn't an "OMFG" pull, but it was still a very very nice surprise. And running both of them in my party makes up for my lack of a Wall or Hastega. Now Yuffie can AOE Heal round 1 while Yuna buffs.
