So in the time I got the 44 silver certs I needed, I got 58 gold certs, 29 grand feathers, 4 Bahamut horns, and only one rusted bow........It might be easier to just use the 500k stone from the casino since I want to give time for my berries to recharge

Ha, final horn, get!

I remember complaining to a friend a while ago that I hadn't got any horns yet, then I got 3 in a row, now this happens.
Guess I'll move on to Order Grande, since I'm definitely not farming 2 guns in the foreseeable future.

Wow. You did much better than me. I only saw 1 horn, I have 32 gold certs and 11 feathers lol. I still need 4 certs though.

I have almost every rusted weapon fully uncapped except harp and maybe axe. 2 stars on each though.

If you're done with the certs I'd use the casino stone. Or just do one more star halo dungeon for an hour and if you don't get it then use casino.

Do you have any ssr units for dark? If not are you willing to use money to get them (Surprise ticket, when ever it comes)? 100% atk boost is huge, but it really doesnt help if you dont have units.

Out of my 4 dark ssr units, 3 are from mobacoin use.
- Vaseraga from Star Legend
- Vampy & Vira ST
- Lady Grey, got her during 10m gacha
- Lucius, from first Legend Fest pull

My party is:
Vira / Vampy / LadyG / S.Vaseraga / s.Lucius
Main summon mlb Diablo
Weapon pool is mostly Celeste ssr weapons:
Lb1 axe, Claw, spear
Lb0 axe, axe, claw, claw, harp
Bahamut weapons (sr) sklvl 1 Dagger & Sword

Lb1 Weapons axe & claw are skill level 10, rest are 5-7. I should get gw weapon harp to use next week, just need 49 t1 orbs.

Iam now around 4k renown pendants, thus getting one more Celeste axe next week from Emblem shop. Monthly target is 11110 pendants, so you can buy 2 ssr weapons and one gold, silver, bronze moon every month.

What element you choose, focus to it. Basically it is same thing for every element.
- Do every hard omega (25ap) everyday to get pendants. If you can, use sr party.
- Leech Omegas (5EP costing) with R party. Just be sure to do enough points that you get pendants (and R bonus).
- Host omegas, this costs 50ap and 3 gold animas.
Obviously this is very ap costly, if you cant, then do your own element hard omegas only.

Casino helps, you can buy ap pots, soul seeds, gold animas with chips.

Why do it with an r and sr party instead of an ssr?

Using R and SR units in magna raids give you bonus valor, the harder the difficulty the more points you get for them being in the party and surviving(They have to be on the field at the end of the fight, not dead or sitting in the back waiting to come in).

Both R and SR bonus caps at 500 each, for a bonus 1000 valor a week. If you combine that with the normal weekly cap of 2000, you can earn 3000 total each week which is enough to buy two magna weapons of your choice a month with some left over points to use on other stuff.


Is it worth using a Sliver Bar to upgrade a Bahamut weapon you don't have MLB of yet? (While not yet having a horn)?

Ehhhh, sure. You can always max level it while waiting for the horn then it's just a few clicks and it's good to go. You can buy five a month from the casino so go for it.

Yay.

Does it matter if I upgrade the GW weapon first or change the rusted weapon element first? I still need 4 basic green orbs for the rusted.

NOOooooo.

Nope. Just use tweedeck to enter Baha once or twice a day, and you'll very quickly amass full set of each rusted weapon at 3*.

If you meant that Bahamut dropped you an actual very rare 0* Bahamut Weapon (non-rusted), then upgrade it with a silver bar only if you need it.
 
So I currently have 40/70 of my weapon stash spaces being taken up by R weapons. Should I begin using those to try and upgrade the skills of my lvl 40 capped SSR weapons? Only rank 25 so still a beginner and certainly not ready for any Bahamas grinding/etc yet.

You can use your R weapons to it, but remember that R weapon needs to have skill in order it to be used as skill up fodder. Otherwise its only exp / rupee.
 
Great. In addition to that is there a benefit to uncapping R and SR characters or should you solely be focusing on SSR mate and chars first? I have all the scrolls and gems to uncap 3 of my SSRs but don't have enough of the low level orbs to upgrade I to the med size until tomorrow's daily dungeons

Menu -> Shop -> Fabled Weapons (Below) -> Revenant Weapons

Nope, the rusted weapon becomes a green weapon that you add to the GW weapon after the step you posted in a picture. So it doesnt matter in what order you do it, eventually they'll be put together.

Oh jeez. The skill level 10 step for the GW weapon is needed to change its element? Doh. I thought that came after. Thought I had it. Oh well. Back to work.

Join a Baha raid with a full R team by mistake -> Somehow get 10k honors and survive with 4 Rs fielded (sacrificed avatar).

Then remember I was actually R capped renown-wise. Oh well.

Ah. Back on track for GW weapon. I had more than enough materials to slvl 10 it. This event has been pretty good for materials. Plus those two SSR HP skill omega weapons I got from tiamat -_-

Need 4 basic orbs haha. I'm so tempted to just use cerulean stones on them right now but I can probably get them easy in a couple hours when the daily changes.

Using R and SR units in magna raids give you bonus valor, the harder the difficulty the more points you get for them being in the party and surviving(They have to be on the field at the end of the fight, not dead or sitting in the back waiting to come in).

I join omegas and lvl 50 raids but I get like no renown points. Is that normal? How am I supposed to get more points by leaching?

Before, all you needed to do was tag the boss or so something to assist the whole raid. As long as you had any honors, it'd count for full credit. That lead to too many leechers joining and tapping then leaving. So now it's a sliding scale. For magna level fights, you need to get 10k honors to reach the full valor pay out. I think it'll start to give some around 2k.

Are there any other summons you can get by using a different summon?

Not that I know of.

You need to get a minimum amount of honors (~2k for magna) to get renown. If you mean 24 renown is too little, it's the way things are, sad as it might be.

E: probably the easiest way to rack up 2k is debuffing the boss. Using Dark Fencer, Mist+Gravity give close to 2k if the both land. Rest can be get through special skills your R/SR have.

Best way to land a debuff is through weapon affinity (I.e: use an earth weapon on your avatar if you are farming Leviathan).

Join the raid early. Bring 2 SR/R and 1 R/SR with damage abilities. If the enemy is in Break, spam auto attack. When not in break, spam your damage abilities so the enemy doesn't gain diamonds but you gain honor. After 3-4 rounds of autos and all your damaging abilities you should have contributed enough to at least trigger the R/SR bonus renown.

Right now I'm having trouble getting renown for even omegas. Any tips? Maybe don't even bother leeching?

Pretty much it. Anything that buffs the raid can also be taken to gain some points if you're nukes don't do enough, like Rage 3. What I had to do for a bit of time while leeching was have a front line to nuke everything down, have them die and let the backline come in and just leave it.

do you gain more honors by bringing more R/SR units?
Yes. One R unit=2 SR units in terms of valor. You'll normally want to do hard mode with 2 SR and 1 R to keep the bonus even while giving yourself an easier time farming.

D: Anyone know the email changing process for giving accounts away lol. We need this linked somewhere.

When you change the email, the new email will get a confirmation email. You have to use that link and login with the old email to confirm the change.

If you're using developer mode in chrome you have to copy and paste the link into the address bar; if you just click it, it will open a new non developer mode window

Hmm... Seems like I should just focus on building an SR/R party and uncap those since that's the only way I can really fully maximize the amount of renown points I get. I guess I can focus on my SSR characters at a later time. Is that the right mindset?

Weapon pool matters far more than uncapping. I'd continue to focus on your main party and once you can farm very hard effectively with your main party then make a SR/R party. By the time you do that you'll have little issues.

This is my very hard raid farm team.

You want to leech Omegas for the drops anyway.

Push comes to shove you can do the sub-bosses on the first few islands (Griffin, etc) with a SR/SR/R team just to get your renown, but it's an AP sink and the drops-per-AP are worthless compared to doing Hard primals (if you can nail them with SR/SR/R) or leeching Omegas with a setup that pushes you past the breakpoint for at least some renown points.

So it seems like I shouldn't focus on renown but getting my main party up to snuff so I can kill shit fast. Essentially don't rely on renown to build my weapon pool but on my main party so I can get drops. Renown is jsut secondary.

I don't agree. The sooner you can start racking up renown, the better.
I suggest getting Holy Saber class with Rage 3 subskill. Just use all his skills and you'll have enough points to get renown from each magna you join.

Never too soon to start getting renown. Make 2 parties with a Holy Saber lead. Both include either full R's or full SR characters to get the bonuses. Go from there, max the SR and R bonuses.

PS This is just the use of your BP. You can still do APr aids.

So use AP raids with my main party and R/SR parties for BP raids for renown?

This is the next step in the guild wars character creation. I just finished changing the element for the sword.

Just curious actually. Are SRs worth investing into?

EDIT: Also, is there a certain rank where it's feasible to start farming omegas by myself? I can barely solo hard by myself.

Is there a faster way to farm the mats needed to change the element of the GW weapon? Farming 250 of each of these is going to take forever, even doing the extreme dungeon for my element. At the rate I'm going it's going to take 75 more runs.

Star halo. I spent a total of 2.5-3 hours just non stop running star halo to get the mats for the rusted part. For the light part I ran light extreme over and over when it was around last time. I think I ran it 25 times give or take.

Now I'm trying to farm mushroom girl to farm the other stuff more efficiently lol. Never ending.

I can get the fire mats from star halo? I'll have to try it out. This extreme dungeon isn't going to work. I already have the light part done at least. I always feel like I have so many things to grind!

Any reason to keep the random SSR character weapons or fodder away?

First they are best used to break down, but I suggest holding unto them. They are now 4 starring some weapons and you never know if you'll get another. Some gacha weapons are good too. So wait t out.
