If I remember right, that guy on record keeper forum spent $3000 for a healing grimoire and it wasn't a featured relic on the banner.

He got pissed and sent a support ticket and got a reply of "it's working as intended"

1-2 months later, healing grimoire was on a banner and I pulled one of those. Just an misinformed whaler.

edit: I made this post a hour ago but forgot to post /fail

Oh god, the old UI.
 
You know it. I'm hyped. I got a lot of leveling to do, need gil and want orbs. I'm ready. Screw all ya'll, I'm refreshing.

I want to refresh just because it's the holidays and I want to run the game a lot while doing other things like I did for so many fest. Unfortunately, it doesn't make sense for me considering where I'm sitting hone wise.

So let's do a recap real quick of what are the most important skills to create/hone:
-All the meltdowns
-Full break
-Siphon
-Protega/Shellga
-Jaspells/Chainspells
-Spellblade skills


What else?

breakdowns, not meltdowns

Curaja (probably covered by your jaspells, but don't forget it because you only focused on black magic)

Steal Power

Full Charge

Also I'm going for at least 2x Lifesiphons

If I have mythril left for refreshes after this, I'll try to get Multi-Break.

meltdown... you mean breakdowns and yes

multi break is needed for fights with 2+ bosses

curaja 4/5 or 5/5 if you can push it

dismissal and banishing strike is good to have

everything else is niche and depends on which relics or your best team set up is at

for example, saint cross is best with en-holy knights with bsb's

powerchain and full charge work together well, but not first priority

cpp said steal power, that works if you use a thief, but power breakdown works just the same. Again, up to your party set up.

Go for multibreak only if you have tyros wall. Since he is the only dancer that you will use probably. The other dancers are pretty weak except Rikku and Penelo that is actually an insane dancer with her burst.

That's a good point, I forget not everyone uses Tyro as a permanent spot in a team like I do

SG spoils me, if I ever pick up Y'shtola's wall, it's gonna be weird without Tyro!

Yeah, I have a lot of pulls to make still. My priorities will depend on them. Right now I have 200 mithril, I plan to use everything depending on my luck.

I still think Tyro is the better native Wall user, due to the fact that Y'shtola probably wants to spam heals/medica's instead of wasting valueable time mid fight refreshing SSII. The amount of times I've used Tyro as a healer and shit hit the fan mid fight and I needed to make the choice of either refreshing wall or hitting Curaja is too much.

Plus I love the little dude too much. I like stupid skill combos. Like Mug Bloodlust and Lightning Dive.

Ya, after I posted that, I was thinking about it some more and Y'shtola with her medica bsb would be better in tandem with Tyro's wall.

I have no XIV characters at all btw, I never used hero souls to unlock any since I came back in Sept/Oct. I was waiting for a XIV event to come first, haha.

I'm stubborn.

Only reason I mentioned Steal Power is because it is marginally better than the breakdowns. a) it absorbs the power, and b) it has a longer duration. So yea I wouldn't prioritize it over the breakdowns unless a thief is in your A team, but if you can get a thief in your A team, it will end up being better.

I have both Walls and only ever use Tyro's in Nightmare fights.

I tend to find that I always have someone more specialized who works better in whatever role I might want to put Tyro in.

Bartz can use Steal Power!

My Bartz is lv1, lol

But you're right, I just need to R3 Steal Power so I can replace Power Breakdown on Tyro

I have both Walls and only ever use Tyro's in Nightmare fights.

My situation is Keeper's Tome. I always start fights with it so I don't have to waste slots on healers for protectga/shellga and use other stuff like Esuna/Slowga/etc.. and I know Y'shtola would work better in that situation since she can medica/proshellga but I don't have it. Plus KT burst commands is another layer of breakdown debuffs.

So in the end, I just RW wall and take it from there. Everything else in the trinity is native.

still dont understand why osb fest didnt coincide with roullette :(

i can barely contain my urge to pull.

goal for fest is to get lightning dive honed, another chain ga or 2 up a level, tighten up my other skills for torment. and level up a shit ton of peeps.

But junk stats. i got Onion knight, baller as fuck.

I just run both. RS and standard buffs means any character is basically well above the ATK soft cap anyway, regardless of stats and Tyro is blessed with high HP to offset his lower defensive stats.

The only time he would under perform is if you're running him as a Black Mage/Summoner and only one +30% MAG buff. Wouldn't matter with two stacked mag buffs, you're basically going to 20k Chain Spells regardless because of how stupid the mag curve is.

We forgot the other valid point, i love too many other real ff characters to use him.

Oh my gooooooooood you guys have no idea how happy this makes me

Had a couple hours at work last night to kill with literally nothing better to do so kept at the Necrophobe fight and eventually got it, fuck that thing forever. I did the last 5 of the Nightmare Dungeons on this month's cycle as well. All of the dungeons are Mastered as well. I finally made it to the big leagues *single tear*

Id do them all but im not down with the puzzle fights. Ive done a couple but just left most of em other than the 4 fights leading up.
 
Well this is where I stop I think. I was hoping to get to 120, and I could probably clear 5 more dungeons in the next 30 minutes, but not 10 more.

I checked my history and I created this new account 11 days ago, so I'd say getting to 118 stamina in 11 days is pretty respectable. I'm already way more powerful than my old account by a large margin, so in hindsight I think starting over was the right move rather than continuing from my old account.

How much did this cost? I stopped at 90.

Nicely done. ready to rock out with me in 30 minutes?

Dollar wise i still haven't spent anything. I can do 2-2.5 dungeons per bar of stamina, and with the free refill from getting 5 I'm spending about 1 mythril for every 3 mythril earned, so i can sustain myself just on free mythril .

If you mean how much mythril did it cost, I have no idea. Maybe 50-75? But had i not done this, I would have only ~100 total mythril now, so I'm ahead in that regard
 
idk if the server is overloaded but I'm having trouble entering battles.

In any case, there's 10 of each major orb from the casino, so I can still see it requiring a significant number of refreshes to clear everything out.
