I received a major white and a wind orb today. I think I'll stam refresh five times tonight.
Adding to the list of awesome RMs, I like Thunderstroke, which is Lightening's RM2. It's great for auto-battle. Stick it to a character with high attack and speed. Watch him/her go to work.

1 party member = 20% more total exp. on average
2 = 10% more
3 = 6.7% more
4 = 5% more
5 = 4% more
Though with a smaller party you will also obviously concentrate the total exp. yield more, which can be beneficial.
Don't you bring you science into this.
It's proc'ing between 20 and 25% of the time for me. Seems quite significant.
I've three of them in Japan which makes life easier, but only got the second and third after their last orbfest. For reference the other two characters are Relm and one of the Mysidia twins (Can never remember which is which and in this case its in Japanese. The BM)
tfw when you've barely been able to even boot the game at all this week 
. I'm barely gonna manage to run the weekend orbfest at all the difficulties for the mythril, goddamn.
Also did 2 3-pulls in an attempt to get Lenna's Medica Staff, denied. Still massively bums me out that I can't get that for her.

I wonder what the odds of getting the same 2* item in two consecutive days of the daily draw are because that is just what happened to me. The item in mind; Mage's Staff (II). At 2*++ its RS stats are 101 mind. I have better than that.
I'm wondering if it more likely than getting any 5*...probably and who would want to hear a boring story of some lame 5* instead of two lame 2* items back to back Well at least I'm getting 2* items. I swear I've had months of nothing but 1*.

Ten Mythril refreshes and one shard refresh, only three Major Orbs (one White, two Lightning).
Pretty crummy, but I'll take the EXP and the much needed Greater Wind Orbs and save my luck for the Soul Break Celebration.

0 Gigantuars so far this weekend.
Yeah, the orb fest is pretty easy on (+). Easy meaning you have some level 50+ characters to carry you.
Well I've levelled all the upcoming characters who have a potential MC2 soon to 65 (with the exception of Selphie, don't have her MC1 yet).
Need to decide who I'll slap the MC2's on for SSB Fest. Although it'll probably be determined if I pull their SSB's or not.
I've gotten good luck from this Orbfest (for a change). 4 MWO, 2 MLO and 2MWO for 6 stamina refreshes. Maybe I should invest more in Orbfest refreshes, seem to be doing more for me than pulling.

Just a heads up, most of the standout relics, including all of Jecht's, from the upcoming event will be available again during the next FFX event at a higher draw rate, and that event is only approximately a month and half away. So if you're planning on pulling for them, it might be wiser to wait.

100 gem got me a Seekers Shield, my first haste relic! The holy trinity is finally complete, with Tyro's book, and several AOE heals. Just wish haste was on someone other than Tidus...

Ended up increasing orb stockpile by roughly, spent 6 mythril I believe:
11.4 Major Whites
9.5 Major Lightnings
11.3 Major Winds
buoyed by 3 MWhO, 1 MLO, 3 MWiO
All named characters now maxed except for
Galuf at 76
Kefka at 62
Penelo at 61
Quina at 56
FuSoYa at 51
Now the question is how to budget for the remaining 2 weekends of orbfests while maintaining a mythril stockpile for the ssb fest and the tactics banner. Goal-50 mythril per banner (subject to change once we know the relics of course, some may be skippable entirely) for 300 mythril total needed. On hand before starting the Jecht event, 221. Including this event and tactics, 7 events for a total of 70 mythril. So with the daily login bonus and a new dungeon drop, will easily have well over the 300 desired and can devote more than the 10 mythril rewarded per orb weekend. Of course, we are going to get a nice anniversary award of mythril as well, 25 or 50 I would think on top of a new set of daily bonuses for the anniversary. In the event of lucky banners, I'll likely just pay gems.

20%.
The numbers above take into account the average XP gains depending on how many characters you have in your party with the RM equipped.
Solo obviously nets the highest gains due to that character not sharing any of the XP, but becomes problematic farming SunDaily/Orbfest if they can't spam AoE.
Generally I do a duo party of X member with Cid's RM in question paired up with someone who can spam Ruinga. Less headache that way.

I'm thinking of parring off some of my 3* accessories now too, they feel devalued with all the rewards we've got from Ultimates.
Also, speaking off Ultimate accessories that one from Necrophobe is pretty legit - is the resistance buff affected by Realm Synergy? It's not a stat you can see when equipping it but it made a hell of a difference on my second kill of Necrophobe.

for all the MC2s that i am missing, when have they shown up again in the japanese release? do they being appearing as often as the regular MC at some point?
I don't think specific MC2s have ever shown up again, but they do start giving out blank ones.

Go to kongbakpao and check out the upcoming events, mc2s and blanks start getting handed out quite regularly.

Subete no aware
Are they finally upping the drop rate?
Only BSSB I'm interested in is Yuna's. Strong all enemy attack and a strong all ally heal? Yes please
On a related note, I had Firaja activate doublecast against Melusine when she was weak to fire, beautiful.
Absolutely.

They are substantially stronger than -ga spells (9.0x vs. 4.9x).
Well Necrophobe was the most fun I've had in an Ultimate so far. He was basically free yes, but the spell spam and me going into it with new highly honed abilities just made me feel super powerful.
Finally slapped my hoarding side silly and converted all my 3* Orbs into 4* to make R4 Firaja/Blizzaja/Thundaja/Waterja/Banishing Strike. Those 5 (I didn't even get to use Waterja) in combination with Blade Flash (amazing help for something that they just gave away in the previous battle), Ruinga and Valefor meant poor Necrophobe and his barriers melted in seconds.
I might actually farm him if he drops anything worthwhile (IE Major Power/Holy). Need to look it up.

Thanks guys. I'll focus on these especially since orb exchange exists now.
Just drew Faris' BSSB in Japan. I'm stocked up to my eyes with support users with good soul breaks, going to end up fielding a full team of support users. Wakka (Aurochs reels) and Irvine (Canister Shot) have been fighting over Magic and Armour Breakdown carrier for a while. May have to oust them except for specific situations. (Things that need to be blinded/poisoned I'll bring Wakka, really high defenses bring Irvine)
Apart from that I've a good few SBs and a few SSBs mostly rotting on the bench apart from their respective realms (Kain is massacring IV elites with his SSB at the moment). I really hope my global account can reach these highs with power creep. Though without rolling gatcha I doubt it.

the active V event in JP land has a blank character crystal, mem 1 and mem 2 on top of the usual character crystals. for example

Major Power and greater black. Thing is about a lot of these sorts of drops is it can be just as efficient to daily dungeon farm now that we have orb conversion.
Yeah I saw a post in Reddit mathcrafting everything out, saying that Dailies are the way to go regardless due to Orb Conversion.
Ah well, at least I can muck around on the Jecht event now with 5 shiny new 4* abilities.
4 Combat or not, Kimahri is still shit.
