I'm buying one of each of the new event weapons and using them as fodder. People are stockpiling unknown weapons for elements they aren't within a year of using for reasons I don't understand.

I'm likely never going to make a fire team, and a dark team is such a pipedream right now that it'd be silly to save 4 SSR weapons for a possibility. I have my wind team, and I'm planning a light team. Thanks to these two events I already have my two light SSR unknowns. I'm not even close to finishing my wind team, and it'll be 4+ months before I even have a somewhat acceptable light team.

Stockpiling these weapons, blowing half lix and time to get a bunch of weapons you'll probably never actually use is super weird. If you're just going to skip the event, spend the minimal time and effort and get one of each weapon for easy SSR fodder.

 

[demidar]

I already MLB Yuri's sword so I'm good. I've got a sub team of Earthers, but they are exactly that, a sub team.

 

[Lostconfused]

The point is that you will end up with more SSR weapons than you need in the first place just by trying to get the "optimal" ones with damage skills.

Getting SSR fodder is trivial in the first place that you don't have to farm unknown weapons if that's what you are looking for.

 

[dakkumauji]

why even get copies of the ssr weapons if you are going to use them for skill fodder considering how many skill fodder you'll get trying to get the magna weapon of choice

/looks at all the collo katanas i have

I used all the SSR Books I got from the morphe event to get my Hauteclaire to skill level 10.

Here's mine weapons.Was considering going to about 8 magnas...but Luminiera seems intent on not dropping anything so I have to grind for pendents. I have tons of SR luminiera's but even at limit broken level still weaker than my non magna's...

 

[Vaettir]

You guys are crazy. My grid only 32 days in. I wonder if I can catch up like that in 30 more days.

 

[tapinn]

I'll probably try to farm for 1 MLB of each of the new unknown weapons so I can strive to be like this guy:

I just hope I have enough pots to do it.

I don't understand this post. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but that's an amazing pool to have in just a month of playing the game.

Or is that the joke?

I have no clue. Seeing people with grids that can tackle even harder end game content and MVP some Omegas in two months seem more impressive to me.

I've been playing more than twice as long as you and yours is almost on par.

 

[Falk]

A lot of it depends on 1) luck and 2) how much you went all-in on Omegafest/Magnafest/whatever it's called nowadays.

Having a maxed +99 is a sight to behold at 30 days though, lol.

Been playing from before the English launch and my wind pool is nowhere near that.

I didn't do too many during that 1/2 event until near the last couple of days. I jumped in Celeste Omega whenever I saw it on my raid list. But using tweetdeck does wonders and I wished I used it more along with the daily twitter refresh. That +99 naturally came in from those boosted +1 draw rates. About 6-8 of the R weaps I got from each crystal drawing were +1s.

Well, keep in mind that I would guess that some of these weapons are not MLB, or even uncapped at all. It's not too crazy to have these weapons if you haven't MLB them.

 

[Lostconfused]

Well you can look at total attack right there you know. If you want to ease your sense of inferiority, or superiority, whichever.

So, so far the hotest weapon pool anyone showed of today is

The rest are more or less on the same level I'd say.

 

[omlet]

Started during magnafes / Sakura Taisen, so 3 weeks ~ish.

Getting 3 MLB event weapons was a nice boost.

Now if I could just do better on gacha than 1 SSR summon and 2 SR characters out of 90 legfes pulls.

With Stahn and Milla as two really promising looking SRs, I may have an all-SR fire team main shortly since Zeta is so..... niche. Depends on how I can do without Zahl's Refresh (which I usually need to get me through boss fights, but maybe won't need if my team is doing better DPT).

 

[Lostconfused]

anywho it really is all about luck. I haven't had a magna weapon drop for my pool in 3 weeks now? Maybe 4, it's been a while so I can't even keep track of how long it's been.

 

[3Kaze]

I have been playing for 1.5 month, I'm rank 68 and still don't have a single omega weapon.
My pool is a bunch of random weapons from events.

 

[Kortez]

Every time I see someone complaining about a bad weapon pool then they post up an image of a bahamut weapon, and a few +99 omega weapons at skill lvl 10 with a few max unknowns for good measure I wanna scratch my eyes out. This is a actual bad weapon pool, bask in its glory! I bought one of those gloves with pendants so I only got TWO omega drops in all this time, 3 months of playing, now rank 77, farmed every single omega fest since I started. My luck with drops is so bad its actually impressive.

In my defense, I have never gotten an Omega SSR from a red chest. All of mine are from gold chests. =/

Oh yeah? Well my strongest weapon is a 1295 attack power MLB SR chevy lumina spear.

 

[Mr. Bubble]

Hitting two months now, I think? Rank 83. I made the newbie mistake of combining my colo staves as I got them because I didn't know better.

So that's 8 staves total in my career. Sadly, I didn't take advantage of the last magfest to its fullest since I ended it with 200 berries. Now I'm at 500 berries and I'm raring for the next magfest.

 

[Lostconfused]

Yeah stocking up for the next magfest. Kinda hope one happens again before I quit this game.

 

[Falk]

In my defense, I have never gotten an Omega SSR from a red chest. All of mine are from gold chests. =/

I read somewhere (and I don't have any empirical evidence) that SSR rates from gold chests and red chests are 1%/15% for red/green/blue/brown and 1%/5% for white/black, so it's far more common to have gotten everything out of gold chests as white/black than the four elements.

 

[Mr. Bubble]

Oh, I just realized a lot of my berries are probably going to go into the next four beasts event...

 

[Hachitora]

Bad weapon pools, eh?

The first one is the weapons based on raw power, the other is the set that the game gives me when I auto select, which seems to be based on fire weapon skills? Tbh I'm a scrublord at this game so idk what's optimal. Though I've been playing for quite some time. Started around the first Tales collab, took a massive break, came back for the rerun of the im@s event (the one with Sachiko) and have been playing since.

 

[dakkumauji]

granblue don't care about silly things like end of month legfes, they want your pulls now

 

[Mike Zhang]

The new dark SSR looks very good.
Must resist...

 

[Verelios]

Wow, 5 gold Animas away from 4th Fire sword and it freaking drops with an hour left to spare. 134 runs. 1.3.4. Runs.

Granblue Fantasy.

 

[Rixa]

Remembering those warnings when I started in February (4 months ago) that dark is hard to grind. Then seeing those weapon pools posted here & hearing curses in Discord (Fire especially). Now Iam thinking Dark aint hard at all...

Iam rank 86, been taking GBF lightly last month or so, playing daily tho.

Dark being suffering is a Myth that I dont agree.

I started Aprill 11th(so about 2 months ago, though i did have the 70 pull from the previous month) with the english release and went dark despite all the warnings from people that it was the worst element to farm for, I am now rank 82

Yeah, either I have the devils luck, or I'm going to have to agree with you that the myth isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

Ugh!

When are we getting the summer characters!? Don't tell me I'm going to need to pass another LegFes by, my summoning finger is itching. :/

 

[tapinn]

This second katana is just plain depressing to look at...

 

[linkent]

Can i buy star legend ticket now and pull when new character gacha is out?
Or i will have to pull before the duration end?

No, you automatically pull right after you finish paying for the Star Gacha. It's just a 10-roll, not a ticket.

 

[captainpat]

fuck.

 

[sd28821]

fuck.

i know that feel bro

guess i will wait for surprise ticket then.

They have Sachika Misawa as a chara voice. She had the best song in Argevollen omg and voiced Kuroyukihime. Glad she got in this.

 

[Grzi]

Hosted an Omega Colossus raid - got a cane (don't even have a fire team yet).

Hosted an Omega Leviathan raid right afterwards - got a dagger.

Not bad.

This is like someone hitting the lottery and then saying "man, getting rich is easy, I dunno why you guys are poor."

Everyone just said that it is HARDER than the other elements, which is, literally, true, since the drop rates on SSR items are lower (or so I'm told). Doesn't mean that it's impossible, and I actually think it's the most popular element in Japan, or so I read.

I have so many dark characters, it should be my next team. Wind is just a lot easier with 2 usable omega weapons.

 

[Curry-Hakase]

The light grind has been suffering for me.
Started playing when english was released and i'm only rank 75. Been spending my ap pretty religiously too. I've only ever gotten one gun drop from chev. If it weren't for all the light unknowns from events lately i wouldn't have kept my sanity from this grind.

 

[dakkumauji]

it's not a legfes (no rates up), just new characters fes (they need a name for this)

they will probably hold the usual legfes at the usual end of the month

 

[Quonny]

New SSR seems pretty stronk.

Luminiera Omega drops so much SR's for me and the SSR Summon.

 

[Chaos17]

Totaly forgot to grind/farm during E3, time to go back to Asteria and Tales event in GB #noob

Finally hit level 80. Man these levels require so much XP.

Don't think my light team started being really useful till I was close to a full year of playing. The current endgame setup is basically a full rack of swords, which probably won't happen in your lifetime unless you plan on ponying up for a whole ton of damascus ingots, and will likely be overtaken by something new in the long term.

The game at its current state strongly favors wind teams for all but the most IAP-heavy player, and without significant buffs to fire/earth/water it's going to stay that way. I recommend you take a look at going that route while continuing to build light if you want to get a decent feel for progression.
