I'm jealous. I've been getting plenty of 3*, but the 4* don't seem to want to drop very often. Looking at FFRKI it does look like the drop rate is a little lower for them than the other two, but it feels like I'm getting a disproportionate amount of Fire and Ice. Oh well, still have about 40 mythril to burn - we'll see how it turns out in the long run.
My last Lucky Draw was two 4* and nine 3* items again, boo.
Edit: And of those 11 items, 8 were sold because i either already have ++ versions of them, or better gear with the same RS. With the amount of 3*/4* saturation my inventory has I think it might be time for me to stop doing 11 pulls and join the cult of 3.

ahahahahaha
I came in wanting some form of mitigation AND LEAVE WITH IT ALL

One 5*: Hardedge (VII)
And my reaction is: meh. Already have Butterfly Edge (VII). I leave the Lucky Draws disappointed. I still don't have any relic support SB at all. I would trade half of my twenty one 5* for any of the hastega or wall soul breaks.
FFRK first world problem, yep.

... Very.
I wouldn't put my bets on seeing another one for 5 months to be honest (That one is 100% guaranteed since it's the anniversary event). Although weirder things have happened.
edit: Only problem with those are they aren't rods, so your choices in who can use them are limited at least till the event where you can recruit any 4 characters, but they're really good mage items.
Sweet. I just looked him up, it says he is obtained from beating NORG. I guess I just have to progress some more, but I halted that to grind orbs since that's kind of important for a newer player like me to catch up.
Hey, look, there's some writing on it... Over here it says... "PARTICIPANT."
I'm... Bemused to report that after getting screwed on the third Lucky Draw for a third time in a row, I found something on the fourth...
Unless I'm mistaken, Squall is obtainable beating NORG in his event, not the dungeons.

Sigh.
Again, I guess getting 3 is fine, but still no Advance, Boon, Lunatic High or Grimoire.
Strangely, I got 10 5* through the 4 draws this week... so I'm just going to assume to that I should take that as a sign and not do any draws until 5 months from now at the next event (would rather save all that mythril anyway).
Rad! I don't even have Golbez yet lol. I'm using Rydia if nothing else so that's a plus.
I just wasn't sure if there was one more phase to this event or if this was the last one. Now that this was the last half-off pull I should just be immediately pulling when I hit 50 Mythril correct? Currently sitting on 24 after my half-off pull. Gonna level up some of this gear (I got some seemingly decent 4* items from this pull as well) and see if I can either level up or a bit or push on where I'm currently at in Classic dungeons. Hit a difficulty wall in the mid-30s for sure.
You are probably right, the website didn't list it as an event but that's probably it.
At least my healer got some good stuff, and a 5* katana. I just hope I can manage Cloud's MC2 with a little more orb grinding.
Bows can also be used offensively by characters such as P. Cecil, Bartz and Faris can use bows. I'd keep them separate just in case.

Got 3, a second oak staff, eiko's headgear, and Sabin's knuckles. Nothing great but I'm basically golden for FF6 and FF9 events now

I got Healer Staff for Lenna and Cyclone Grimoire. Latter seems worthless as i don't and never intend to use Tyro, but first is good! Soul break isn't great but the stats and synergy are going to be super useful for FFV content.
8/44 for the overall event, definitely has given me a leg up!
Ph1 - Buster Sword, Aurora Rod, Giants Gloves
Ph2 - Shear Trigger
Ph3 - Vega32, Valiant
Ph4 - Healer Staff, Cyclone Grimoire

Falk you WOULD be disappointed you got a 5* LOL
I'm saving all my mythril for his SSB. xD
You'll be able to get him from Seifer's event so no worries! He's pretty useful and you'll have an SB waiting for him.

Vivi staff
Auron katana
6 4s, 4 of which are combinable, two for trash
3rd pull:
Cyclone grimoire
2nd pull:
Tidus brotherhood
Kain lance
1st pull:
Squall revolver
Selphie stick
Vanille binding rod
So 8 new unique reliecs. Unfortunately, viii and x are two realms I already had retaliate weapons for, and the selphie stick is that weird mind rod thing, so I'm really only looking at three weapons that are going to see a lot of action, the kain spear(which matches the partisan which I got in a terra gem pull), binding rod, vivi rod. I did draw a ton of four star equips, max combining a number of useful 4++ weapons and armors, so very pleased there. If I didn't have the Vegas and thyrus already, I would probably be pretty annoyed. I am annoyed that neither bmage equip goes to a summoner, three star vanille doesn't count.

Throughout mid-game, the best strategy is to pull on banners your synergy is weak in. Chances of rolling useful items are still moderately low per 11-pull, but every 5* in a realm is a moderate-to-giant boost to how effective you are in it.
Try to aim for 1 offensive 5* in each realm. Especially stuff that Cloud can use, since he will melt faces retaliating (so that 1 5* boosts your entire party's damage by quite a bit with the retaliate meta)
If you were only hoping to get those very specific relics you should have saved your mythril until there were rate ups for those. The chance of getting those four relics in these relic draws is ridiculously small. You got 10 5*! That's quite a lot for 100 mythril
Sigh.

So I guess the question is should I combine my two oak staff or keep them separate? With the amount of mages ff9 realms have I'd think keeping them separate would be best but I do have a judgement staff + for my healer. Would oaken on all summoner dagger or eiko be worth using?
What are your other mage items like?
You really want 3 MAG 1 MND stick regardless of realm synergy (substitute with red sticks if you have any)

As someone else said, it's first world problems. lol
I know people got zilch, but you can never be happy with this game.
I figured that the guarantee of a SB 5* was better than getting a 5* that is generic (I've gotten quite a few of those), so it's why I'm thinking of just saving mythril for the next one of these.

Tell me about it. I'm not happy because I didn't get zilch.

Yeah, in a way you were luckier getting nothing than getting that 1 5*.
Well, unless you got a perfect 11/11 5* roll. lol
So here is what I got from this event:
Phase 1:
Lullaby Rod (third one)
Healing Staff (Lenna's one)
Phase 2:
Sun Blade (nice for synergy)
Partisan (good)
Dark Armor (eh, not that good)
Phase 3:
Koketsu (good 5* katana!)
Grand Glove (ugh, already have a 6* Crystal Glove)
Giant's Gloves (ugh)
Phase 4:
Giant's Gloves (WHY)
Overall I'm happy. I got a lot more character relics than I thought I would- Unfortunately, I can't see myself using a lot of these as they are pretty much all mediocre. Oh well, still nice for 100 mythril!

That's pretty solid. I guess it'd boil down to if you want to destroy face in FFIX realms (2 Oak Rod) or be slightly better for everything else (1 Oak Rod+)
I'd proooobably combine them, but I run almost exclusively mage meta, so it may depend on your situation - like if you want to go for a balanced party in general and then burninate with mage meta in FFIX it may be better to keep them separate.

Got my second Binding Rod and Yuna's first weapon with The Sending SB. Total 4/44. The important is that I now have 4 weapon with more than 100 MAG and a great MND staff that is not my Judgment staff. With Yuna's weapon, I think that it's time to combine my 2 Judgment Staff.
