Tried participating in a couple of raids...and not too sure what's going on.

Apparently some guides said there's a way to leech? Can I just land a hit and go back to "My Page", or do I have to wait it out until the target mob is dead? (Not aiming for MVP etc).

Yup, land a hit, and just head out, collect rewards later.

yes, basically get into a raid, land a hit and that's it

you can back out, sit around and watch, throw all your skills at them, try auto attacking and die (though don't do this at Cavalier, the light magma)

you will just need to collect your rewards, the button that's at the bottom of the raid list when it has a red ! on it

Lol. All this time. I'm rank 49 now. I never knew you could leave the raid. I'd literally just home out of the app and do something else for a bit then use a skill to see if it ended

I'm currently going through the hell known as evolving your units from lv 40 and preparing for the lv 50 one as well.

I'm really starting to struggle in the story at stage 44. Actually just lost to a boss. I think I might have to use a refill potion or two. I really want to get to 50 to get Rosetta's third skill but my blue team is not up to the task.

I got one of these from a raid. Is it like if I get enough of them I can create Tiamat summon?

You can only create the SR summon in the shop. The SSR summon is a drop from the magna. You need 3 gold animas and 50ap to summing your own magna Tiamat to fight(25ap during event). You are guaranteed 1 red chest when it is your fight which has a better drop rate than gold
 
I haven't touched those nor anywhere near that yet. :x I was more speaking about the current Rowain event. It's pretty much the only way I could get the Robo Cata SSR summon. I won't have enough time to get the SSR sword though.

What do you get as drops from the level 100 raids? I have joined a few and wondering what you can get in terms of weapons/summons.

What do you get as drops from the level 100 raids? I have joined a few and wondering what you can get in terms of weapons/summons.

If you happen to get in to these 2
* Proto Bahamut (100lvl)
- Rusted weapons, they are needed for Bahamut weapons
- Bahamut Horn (very rare drop, needed for Bahamut weapons)
- Gold & Silver certificates

* Grande (100lvl)
- Feathers(150 needed to Cosmos weapon)
- Gold & Silver Certs

* Other lvl 100 summons (Medusa, Apollo...)
- They drop silver animas -> Not sure if these are needed in order to mlb summon
- If you host, you get one * LB more
Ofc if you do enough damage you get silver valors which you can use to buy diffrent things.

In silver valor shop, you should only buy:
- Moons, you can buy one of these per month 1 Bronze (10 valors), 1 Silver (100 valors), 1 Gold (1000 valors)
->>> Bronze & Silver moons buy ½ AP potions, dont buy JP or anything else.
- 2 Silver moons = 30 ½ ap pots, 5 Bronze moons = 30 ½ ap pots

->>> Gold moon, either save it or buy something, best use might be to buy 2500 JP / Gold moon

- 5000 costing magna weapons, dont buy HP skilled ones (so you need to know what to buy).

* HL summons
- Rank 101 needed
- Drop some rare materials needed to get weapons to max (Bahamut weapons)
- Drop Gold valors (do enough damage)
- Dont leech in these
- Some other stuff (dunno cause Iam not able to join these)

Aaaand the Magnafest is over. Next one is prolly Omegafest ;).

But dont worry, next event starts tomorrow, Suzaku grindfest incoming, it will replace this Mecha-Kat event (which I didnt much bother to do). Grab your Water teams ready (again) its Fireboss time (again)...
From event to event to overlapping events. If you get bored to grinding event, go do some coop & casino.

This game keeps giving so much to do.

Is there an easy way to sell weapons in your present area? Been steamrolling normal levels, don't really have space for 200+ weapons that I don't think I need... Or is it better to try and level up weapons with the junk I have, then collect, repeat, etc?

There is:
1. In gift box, scroll down and push that upper right blue button

2. Scroll down and push sale, it will sell every normal & rare weapon (so pick R weapons away if you dont want to sell them, or choose from options to save them).
It wont sell angel/archangel weapons. Summon has similar button, but I rather use them as fodder.

I'm a little unsure of what I should be focusing on now that the hall AP/BP event is over. I'm rank 33 with most of my characters at 40 or 50. Should I still leech a 5bp Tiamat magna every 2 hours hoping for a drop? Or is there any thing else worth spending BP on? What is best use of AP at my rank?

Do whatever you can. Farm events/daily/daily extra quests to get summons or weapons and loot/farm hard magna/host big magnas/host coop/do side quests/etc.

Finally got my last bouquet copy T-T

Magnas are your best bet unless you want to participate in whatever event is currently running. As for AP, you have more options: grind the rotating bosses in the extra sections (in order to buy SSR weapons/summon), do dailies and gather evolving mats, advance the story (although this is better done during half-ap events) or participate in whatever event is currently running. Hosting coop/magnas is also an option.


I'd go for those bosses if the element matches your team/you simply want them, since the current event ends in about 17h. Also evolving materials you'll need soon.

Lastly, Rixa put together an Angel Halo dungeon guide a few pages back. Check that too.

When starting out holding off on the story until there's half AP events seems like a mistake, the story gives a good amount of XP and crystals (and if you're using story SR characters is needed to unlock abilities). So far this year there's been two half AP events? Doesnt seem worth waiting ~ two months to do the story.

Out of curiosity. When story and side quests that reward 50 crystals are clear. How do you earn more crystals for rolls? Is it just from events? I still have a way to go, was just curious.

You can earn then often from clearing any mission story/event related.

ALSO IT'S CELESTIAL BEAST TIME!

Tonight, The Suzaku event begins.

index.php

The Battle of the South's Red Phoenix ~Advent of the Four Great Beasts~

04/08/2016 - 04/15/2016


The event will consist of 3 difficulties and 2 bosses to face. There will be Very Hard and Extreme Suzaku, along with Extreme+ Agnis. As you do battle with Suzaku, a light orb will gradually shine. Once it reaches it's maximum brightness, you can face the Fire Primal, Agnis.

This is a Fire element event, GET YOUR WATER TEAMS READY!

Unlike other events, there will be no event gacha this time, you will be farming for merit points to exchange in the event shop. But event points/medals still exist for milestone rewards.

Items of interest this time around:
- Suzaku Lightblade This is a SSR Fire Katana that comes with Normal II Large Attack up skill, and not only that, it comes already at 3star limit break -

Notes: Definitely a must get, even if you don't have a fire pool, it would still a great stat stick towards it.

- Suzaku Talisman Use this to 4star limit break the Suzaku Lightblade, another must have item.

Notes: It is said that if you collect all 4 talisman from each of the Celestial Beasts, something good might happen.

- Florenberg - This SSR Fire dagger comes completely limit broken already at 3star. Will give you an extra 10% boost to your event point gained.

Notes: If you're a new player, this should be your #1 Priority to get. However, I'm not completely sure if this will be available this time, but it was available for the last two with Seiryu and Byakko.

- Chrome Steel - Used to exchange for Gold Bar at Siero's shop.

Notes: Unless you really have a mass of points and every single item already, only midgame/endgame players should pursue this. Gold Bars are used to MLB weapons, but are also required for the GW weapon quest.


Newbie tips: The best way to grind points in this event is to leech off of 1 BP Agni battles. Best time/return for your BP. And get that Florenburg if it's available! This event is also a great opportunity to exchange for cheap AP/BP items along with rupee. Take advantage new players.

Is there a recommended level to be at for newbie tier??

EDIT: And since I've never done one of these, where is the click-path to find these battles?

Does "tapping" mean enter, hit "my page" reap the benefits?

This picture is 100% accurate:

It will be an event banner just like the current event.

I'm a bit confused. Should I DL the JP version then select the English option there when it comes out?
That is correct, unless come release they actually have it on the Global store.
Even then I'd think in case of someone else picking it up to keep on JP for collab reasons and updates. Alright then, I missed the good rerolling period right? : (

You did, but people here are giving away accounts. I have an account with 3 SSRs if no one offers to help that you can have. I know some people here have some really good accounts to give away. Just takes a couple minutes to switch emails.

Actually, it's just one server as far as we know, so you won't be missing out on anything, other than the fact you should have started earlier and already missed a ton of collabs. XD
 
This game hates me. Decided to play on my account with decent SSR Summons - Apollo, The Order Grande - and proceeded to only get Dark SSRs and SRs. D<

I just want to go to the Light..
 
You see, the picture is gibberish to me, so...

The celestial event features an Extreme+ boss, the main thing is that as it gets damaged, the BP cost will go down. For new players, entering the battle just after the BP cost goes down to one is the most efficient way to farm it. And anyone can do it since it's just your normal leech strategy (hit the boss once).

The joke is that you'll be refreshing the Multibattle screen until the BP cost drops down to 1, and then enter as fast as you can to leech.
 
So, I decided that just sitting on the accoutn and getting dailies is not gewd enough. Imma do daily things like quests for useless crud and stuff, things I can do without worrying about not knowing the language.

Just do what I'm doing and work through the story quests. You won't fully grasp the dialogue now, but you can just re-read it all later on through the notebook option.

I already have a backlog to reread. I prefer to take it as it goes and have context for things right away, instead of going "oh, that's what was happening"...
 
I really want to get some good stuff out of this event but I'm afraid that I'm too low level, Kiryogi's guide is pretty extensive but is there anything else in particular I should be doing as a relatively new player to get the most out of the event?
