My current guild trying to get into GW.

Yeah my guild is too. We're not that hardcore though, just kicked everyone under 35.

Not too sure about Poker. Whenever I get any card combination like Four of a Kind, I seem to lose it on the first few card gambles. Ah well, takes a moment of luck as with any gambling I guess.

Will probably mix it up, never again 100k bingo though.

Still didn't see the guild invite. I'm pretty sure I'm looking at the right section too. Weird.

Hopefully the English release is in the early March :(

Me too. I'm actually having a lot of fun with the little of the game I understand. It would be awesome to dive in with full understanding.

It's good that they at least mentioned the English version again even if they haven't promised any release dates.

Do we know what the final reward in the event is for yet, its like a red orb. And the stats make me think its an upgrade for a weapon or something, but I can't say for certain.

So I just beat stage 8 and the casino is open. What is it costing me to buy those casino chips? Ingame gold or something? I can't really tell if I'm going to make myself broke trying to play the games lol.

Just chips. If you go to the main casino screen, then click the arrow to the right, you can pick up a few on the floor to play with/

its a +1 to summon. Same +1 as in PAD.

Oh, cool. I don't think I have a summon I'd use it for yet, though.

Yes, in-game currency. Note that if you press the hall button on the right, it will take you to a page where you can get free chips by touching the gold sparkle ones. Sadly, it's not much but it's something.

Really can't wait until we hear news about the North American release for this game or the anime. I recently bought the artbook without having playing the Japanese version... just... gah. So good.

Dunno what I'm doing but I found the group mobs that you use BP for. Contributed killing a few of the 1 BP level 30 ones to great success then tried to leech off some 5 BP level 70 thing. I got 24 XP lol. But I got a SR weapon and 3 other items that look important. Sweet!
 
As long as you enough patience to figure out what the buttons in the Japanese version do there aren't really much drawbacks to playing right now. I'd say the head-start is very much worth it. (all those free crystals <3)

The combo of it being in a foreign language + a lot of mechanics that you'll need to understand is definitely intimidating. But it's nothing you can't work youself through with a machine translation + asking other people.

Yeah, doing those can give some nice rewards. If you're just playing casually, just spending those points to leech magna's already goes a big way.

Man. It takes a lot longer to level up more advanced jobs huh. I completed enhancer, knight and priest so I can work on fortress and arcana sword for the dark lancer. Switched to fortress first and it is going slowly now. Only to level 6. Going to be awhile until I get dark lancer I guess.
 
Where's the screen you can click away a piece of the background? I was out today and on my phone, had some connection errors while loading and when I was able to log back in nothing happened, but I was able to go to my daily login stuff by clicking the gift box.

Last week's event would have been great for leveling. But if you want the time, the angel dungeons are a good place to grind out jobs too
 
Edit: ok I found it under the campaign section. What all are the boxes requirements to uncover the background? Is there anywhere that has those posted?

Also, what daily stuff is there I can do to collect crystals? I've done what I assume is the first story quest which gave me 50 crystals, anything else besides story stuff?

Anyone know how I can remove the guild chat button, its kind of annoying in the spot it is in. I don't think we realy use it anyway haha.

Is there some sort of rank limitation for SR and SSR weapons? I've gotten 4 SR weapons from the BP monsters but they all take about a 40% hit to effectiveness when I equip them. In most cases I have better attack rating using R weapons instead.

I'm only rank 18 but seems silly considering that can discourage people from gatcha pulling.

Yeah they aint real SR weapons or something, when there's this little symbol on them they are more like fodder, or something. Not real SRs.

Ooooh. That little diamond means fodder perhaps? I thought it was a little easy to get SR weapons this way :(

You're possibly using angel weapons which have rainbow crystals next to the weapon. They're only meant for using as fodder to level up weapons.

edit: I should refresh more often

Got my Florenburg to 100, now I can get all my other SSR weapons up. My new account is almost as strong as my last one was, which took me 2-3 weeks or so. That last event was awesome for progress. Hopefully we'll hit the 10mil soon too.
 
Thanks!

Couple of more questions if anyone could answer:

How do I make Rosetta my default/main character? Is it an option under the main guy or under Rosetta's link?

Your main character is here to stay and will always take the first position. It's not possible to change him.

You are able to change his gender and job though, so there's probably something you'll like!

PS: Due to the fact that Rosetta requires a lot of Ougi, placing her in the third spot of your party is a wise decision.

What do these messages mean? They're in my inbox.
Aka what do i have to do

Well, there's only one way to find out! Most of them guide themselves pretty easily. I only know some of them.

1. Start Dash (if you don't want it just do nothing, it'll go away after a while)

2. ???

3. Fate episode available (do these for free gems and ability quests)

4. Someone Friend Requested you.

5. ???

6. Your Birthday is not set (just google translated this lol, don't know what you have to do.


PS: Gaf doesn't embed normal Imgur links. add .jpg or .png to it and it works.

And finally, the most exciting time of the month, the BIMONTHLY GUILD WARS starts 3/23! Is GAFCypher ready for this?

Newbies, this is your chance to get one of the endgame weapons. Take a look at the SSR spreadsheet and look at the Guild Wars chara tab to decide who you want!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...47ATPccJXLP1PfUUIBcWUMU0aw/edit#gid=478988497

Similar to other events, there's a gachabox, but this time, you can determine what weapon you want to drop in it. That will be the Guild War Weapon.

Also, RIP Suzaku event.

We probably won't be.
I honestly havent even started anything for a GW weapon. I guess with Rosetta and possibly Birdman, I'd need to look at Siete?

Would be a way to go, plus Siete is really really good.

You can also use it as a temporary up for your light pool until you can change it to Wind.
 

Yaari

Ah, so the weapon we'll get is Light, which I then need to change to Wind?

The events are definitely exciting in this game though. They constantly have something lined up.

And then the 2nd year celebration, they'll probably do something there again too? Maybe a ST?

Going same path. Aiming for Siete and obviously building wind team first. Not sure what I can actually do in GW but will see :).

This. constant events with gacha that has ssr stuff.

Cool. Yeah the downside of it is that, I got like 10k of Rubies waiting for me as I finish my story mode and co-op. But I also don't really want to let the opportunity of the ST go by.

If I get Rosetta/Birdman, anything else for Wind to look at?

Was it so, that you need to use Starter Dash offer first, or if you use ST offer you dont get Starter Dash offer anymore (if you havent used it)?

Ah, that's a thing? Interesting. Because I didn't use the Starter Dash ticket yet, so hopefully someone knows.

Petra for wind ultimate combination!

You can have both I believe.

I have used mine, but somehow I remembered reading and better to mention to you.

This is from ultimate GBF guide
GBF Guide said:
When you start the game, there is a campaign that gives you a ticket that allows you to exchange for any SSR (Bahamut and Lucifer are excluded from this deal) if you purchase it for 3k moba coins. It also comes with a ticket that lets you redeem 1 10x pull. From what I have gathered, the campaign disappears after reappearing for 2-3 times or after you purchase any surprise tickets. Surprise tickets are basically the same deal, but offered for a limited time during special events like landmark milestones (2 million downloads and anniversary of beta was the last two). I love these, they are pretty much the best money you can spend on the game.
So better to use your Starter when it pops up. If that is not changed.

Haha, I did like Petra yeah. That should put together a nice team. Do I need a tank or is Rosetta a tank in some way, I mean, she does attract the damage and heals up.

Hopefully we can participate in GW with the guild. I don't really know the qualifications.

Rixa, I think my Starter Dash shows up on Saturday. So that would work out fine. (Hopefully).

I heard you could only have 2 GW chars, did I get misinformation?

Yuichi 'Ridill' Nakamura has 3 as well. You're only limited by number of Hihiiros you can obtain -- HELL difficulty bosses have a random chance of dropping said item, so there are a few people that have more than the two you can obtain from Genbu/Byakko/Seiryu/Suzaku.

So the starter dash has to be purchased? How would us foreign folk get mobacoins?

I'm still trying to figure out what's going on in the current event. I've been using the 5 summon girls. I'm on the last one at about 50%. But I also see there's a weapon and stuff. I didn't notice the event quests until today (oops) so I've started doing those. Probably too late to get the big rewards. Plus I'm still low rank. Only 20ish.

The usual outlets. You can also purchase Japanese iTunes cards if you're playing on iOS and have a Japanese itunes account. I usually go that route since 10,000yen cards are typically discounted more steeply compared to Mobacoin.

So is this some sort of event gatcha? Should I be saving these green tickets or go ahead and push the tantalizing orange buttons?

You can go ahead and push it, but each multi-roll caps at 20 tickets (2 tix = 1 item) so it's probably best if you wait until you have 20 just to minimize the amount of times you have to click the button.

The ultimate guide is very outdated since the op no longer plays Granblue anymore. The start dash will not disappear since I made my account early 2015 and purchased my star dash around October.

That's good to know. I'm really not planning on spending any money on the game until the English release.
