Since today is my birthday I went in with high hopes. Got only SRs from my 4 salted emails. Then went in on the account I'm actually using, pulled a Magisa. I'll take it

All you lucky guys. Lol.

Congrats to all of you.

I used 9000 crystals plus the free 10 roll.

Ended up with that dark summon and this

Wind bow using SSR.

Not terrible. Just getting those two SSR are better luck than I normally have. Could be worse.

The half AP and bp is awesome though. Leveling up so quick now.

How come there is a the order grande raid? Does it have a rank requirement? Just noticed I can open it now with the 1/2 AP event, ap-wise, at least.

So I need gold orbs to LB my Ferri again. They drop from this guy:

In stage 20 I can do a normal and hard version of him. Is there a very hard? I'm getting some silver orbs but only one gold one so far.

Yes there is. The Chevalier magna, which normally costs 5BP to join or 50 ap + 3 gold animas to host and enough rank to do it (30).

Hmm. I have no idea where to get gold animas. And I don't see Chevalier manga on the first island. Damn. I must be missing something.

I like the fact that Granblue values time invested a bit better than other mobile games, while re-rolling an alt account is vaguely attractive I dont think a lot of SSR's would make up for the time invested (unlike say, Dokkan Battle where generally its always worth re-rolling if you get the best new SSR)

However that 6/10 pull above is obscene, makes me not want to pull ;)

Rare drop from the Hard version or you can buy three per day in the casino

Free 10 pull: 1 SR
Start Dash 10 pull: 1 SSR Summon (Athena) / 1 SR (Will)
Four single pulls: junk

Final fifth single pull, yes Rainbow Gem, spear...dupe SSR (I only have six or seven SSR), fuck my luck. Not sure how good Athena is but that dupe SSR was a kick in the stones.

Had enough for 4 single pulls and I figured I might as well since I wasn't going to save up another 1800 games this week. Pulled a Lancelot on the 3rd one, decided to hold off on the 4th

So far today got Magisa and Lancelot and I got 6 days left.......Any one who's debating this game and doesn't start this week is crazy

At what time does the server consider it a new day? Trying to keep track of when I need to do my free rolls.

Sweet thanks for the responses, guys. My body is ready for the next pull! I might have to go ahead and spend real mones...

Hopefully by the end of the week I manage to pull one Water SSR and one Light SSR, that'll give me at least one SSR for each element (of course I wont complain if I get more ;) )

Much better value to save your money for when there's a Surprise Gacha or a Star W gacha. Even with the legend fest its still only 6%

Ah, alrighty then. Thanks for the tip! Haven't found any info on those yet. Sounds neat-o.

Basically the ways you can spend money on the gacha are as follows:

Normal 10 pull - 3000 yen - Always available, standard SSR chance is 3%, during a legend fest its 6%
Normal Single Pull - 300 yen - First pull of the day is 90 yen/mobacoin, same SSR chance as above

Star Gacha / W Gacha - 3000 yen - Pops up fairly regularly - Works like a 10 pull only you are guaranteed one SSR unit , you can get additional SSR units like the normal 10 pull

Surprise Gacha - 3000 yen - Pops up rarely, you get a Surprise Gacha token which allows you to select any SSR unit in the gacha (some summons cant be selected and it must be redeemed within 7 days), you also get a 10 pull ticket which you can redeem for a normal 10 pull at any point

Start Dash - 3000 yen - Only available once, available for 7 days when you start, if you dont avail it pops up every month for 72 hours. Gives you a start dash ticket which allows you to select any SSR unit that was in the gacha when you started your account (some summons cant be selected and it must be redeemed within 7 days), you also get a 10 pull ticket which you can redeem for a normal 10 pull at any point

So in terms of bangs for your buck its: Start Dash > Surprise Gacha > Star W Gacha > Reduced rate single pull > 10 pull > normal rate single pull.

I think thats all the paid gacha options covered.

Might have to download the APK so I can use my google wallet. I have until thursday for the start dash.

I've been lurking this thread because I was considering getting into the game, but after reading this and my first reaction being "so around $35 CAD to buy a character", I realized that I probably shouldn't. F2p just isn't my thing...

The games fairly generous with gems, depending on how you're progressing/what you're doing you should be able to manage 3 or 4 ten pulls per month (so basically every legend fest). If you like the game after the first month the Start dash is probably worth doing when it re-appears. If you could hold yourself to only buying Surprise tickets after that it might not worth out too expensive across the year (not sure how many come out each year but I think theres only been one so far in 2016? So they arent that common).

I've been playing GBF for 9 months, and spent 0$.

Game is pretty much about weapon and summon drops from raids and events.
You can do fine without spending money.

Really good SSR for Dark, does nice damage with skills when enemy is in OverDrive mode. Iam using it and its max level 80.
Oh, nice. Thanks!

I did a bit of reading up, and it seems like Narumeia, Vampy, and Lady Grey/Vargeras make a pretty solid dark team. Given that I already have Narumeia (and now Vargeras), I'm just about there! If I ticket Vampy I'm set (I already have the Bahamut summon).

Much excitement.

Did a 10 pull on all of my accounts, this one stood out:

XHMVz8V.png


Now that one has Heruesu, Yoda, Amira, Siegfried and Sarunan SSR units. No good summon though, which kinda sucks, but at least there's plenty of good units.

Things might still change though, seeing as we get free pulls from the legend gacha.
Wow, so many SSR. Congrats!

Well did the free pull, a gem pull and a moba pull, ended up with SSR Riruru and Narumeia, an a SSR light summon and 3 SR characters.
Nice pulls. I have Naruemeia too, she's great. Nice job!

All you lucky guys. Lol.

Congrats to all of you.

I got Metera too and, from what I can see, she's a pretty decent Wind user. I needed that element too, so it came as a pleasant surprise. Congrats!



Thank RNGesus. Didn't expect two SSR lol. Now I can finally play the game.

/sadface

Did the free 10-draw

Sophia and Arulumaya. Didn't have an SSR for either element so that's cool.
\o/ again!

1 PM PDT/ 4 PM EDT

---------------------------

I got junk from today's free pull
/sadface again

They are currently handing out $35 CAD worth of rolls a day then :)
I know. Isn't it amazing? :)

Pretty sure that free 10 pull is not using the 6% legfest rate.

Code:
2nd legfest, 3k gems
160 rolls
12 SSR characters
7,50% character SSR rate

2nd legfest, free rolls
160 rolls
4 SSR characters
2,50% character SSR rate

Did 320 pulls today, 160 with using 3k gems and 160 with the free pull. Will know more in a few hours when we get an another free 10 pull.

Game balance is constantly changing. With the Cosmos BL weapons balance type chars are much more valuable as you get a flat 20% boost to their DA chance when you have *** BL. Metera def can be a contender in certain wind parties, and likely will be in the future as well.

Thanks for the info. I assume by time I get around to trying this they won't be giving out daily free rolls, but its not like that was going to make or break my choice anyway. It seems fun, but rolling for stuff has always been demotivating for me, even if I never need it. Desires go a long way in keeping me going, and I don't think I can justify buying the start dash ticket. Either way, I'll likely actually try playing the game a bit before I make any real decision, but that will have to wait until it comes out in English.
