I think I've been missing out on co-op. Much easier now that it is in English. So basically do 3 missions a day and use the MP points to collect all the rewards so it resets and do it all again?

I've definitely been missing out.

about upgrading, is it recommended to upgrade char with rare weapons? my inventory is kinda filled with them and i dont have enough crystal to buy a stash

also, how do you change password? havent found it yet

You don't need to level up characters with weapons. You can get more than enough XP just by questing with them. Generally save them for leveling other weapons. Use rare weapons to skill up your SSR and SR weapons. Unless the rare weapon doesn't have a skill then just use it for whatever. But keep an eye on rare weapons that have skills and only use them in controlled upgrades to make sure you get that skill up. See the following link for more info.

I think I'm done with the event, I got the points dagger, first set of rupees, first set of AP pots, and first set of gold/sliver certs. Might try to get 3k points or so just to carry over. The dagger increased honor gain and not the star points? So when I leech and only get 1000honor it increases it to 1100 automatically?

Characters will get plenty of experience from battles, you should never have to use weapons. Rare weapons with skills should be used to skill up other weapons

What's the easiest way to buy mobage coins? I think I want to take advantage of the starter offer of a free SSR

 

[TatteredHat]

Buying Mobage prepaid cards through playasia and such, probably. That's what I did, only takes like 5 minutes.

You can hold off on start dash, it'll come back every month from your starting date. I've found google play the easiest, since it just uses your google wallet for payment but you need to use the droid app.

As long as a Katalina is somewhere on the party, main or sub, her passive to be online.

That's strange. I have Vira in main and Katalina in sub, but I don't get any active buff effect on Vira and I don't think I get the cooldown reduction, at least according to skill information.

Is there any prerequisite to unlock the buff?

 

[garath]

Well I think I did ok with the event considering my lowish 50 rank.

Got the dagger, the first batch of rupees, the first batch of gold certificates, all the gold badge rewards and I still have 4k points. I'll probably do a little more and maybe grab some AP pots but I don't feel like I'm too short on those. I have a good chunk of bronze moons I haven't done anything with.

Since the points carry over I might just hold on to them in anticipation of going for the big weapon next time. I likely could have gotten the katana this time if I didn't need the dagger. But the gold certs were really handy too.

 

[MiTYH]

So it looks like I'll hit 10000 medals for this event. Everyone keeps mentioning the dagger but I have the feeling that's the big one and I don't think I can get that. What's recommend to get next?

The dagger is only 10k. The katana is 30k.

 

[demidar]

The dagger is only 10k. The katana is 30k.

Is the dagger THE THING to get for someone with 10k points? Leveling it up to 100 seems like it will take a long time. Should I just buy one of the other weapons or Limit Break merit items instead?

It's not that hard. You can get enough materials in less than an hour easily just by using your 1/2 AP pots during a starred angel weapon run. You should be drowning in 1/2 AP pots from events, plus 5 a day from the casino.

this cuts down the grind on other events. the other 10k weapons don't

 

[MiTYH]

How do you go about uncapping a weapon? I got one of my SSR weapons to a max level, but I can't seem o bring it to the next point

 

[garath]

Not to mention that it comes 3 starred so for a newer player it'll be a big asset to the weapon pool at level 100. It'll provide a big chunk of attack. Even at level 50 it's already one of my higher attack weapons.

 

[Quonny]

SSR weapons need a duplicate of that weapon.

SR/R need a specific item from the casino or certain fights.

thanks, i used some already unfortunately, but i'll keep them to level my SSR weaps from now on

 

[Quonny]

Even so, you should still get the dagger. It'll help with all events and, as garath pointed out, it's already MLB and will give you a ton of stats.

Yeah the already LB factor seals the deal.

Oh, rats. Probably shouldn't have been pumping up my SSR character weapon then. Thanks

I didn't even know you could buy pots from there. Thank you. Now I just need to get a ton of Rupees.

Jeez, with 5 ap pots a day, this game surprisingly lets you play it quite a lot during a single day.

Don't forget about the Twitter reset too, I made an account for this and all I have to do is click on the banner, I don't think you have to actually tweet anything out

 

[Ranmo]

That too. Though I haven't had enough time to utilize it just yet. Good idea on the dummy account though. As much as I'd like to use my actual twitter it would probably get annoying.

Though as you mentioned I heard you don't actually have to send a message out. I'll have to tinker with it sometime and see how that works.

 

[Rixa]

Oh, rats. Probably shouldn't have been pumping up my SSR character weapon then. Thanks

Dont worry, you will literally drown to Angel / Archangel weapon exp fodders. I have raised some SSR unts I never used via fodders to 60 levels or so. Cause dont have weapons to use them and dont want to sell so using them to units.

You can also buy 10 of the EP berries.

25k/day to get the AP and EP items.

I wish I would start to win ANYTHING in the Casino. Any tips from the Veterans?

 

[dakkumauji]

if you have time to grind, go with poker
if you are yolo, slots
if you are crazy, bingo

 

[Quonny]

I wish I would start to win ANYTHING in the Casino. Any tips from the Veterans?

Poker, 2 card.

Pairs > Flush draw > open ended straight draw > do whatever you want.

Double Up when you get anything better than a pair. The card on the right that you flip over will always be the next card you bet on.

Keep doubling up until you get to a point where you feel like you can cash out. In the beginning, that might only be 100. Eventually it'll be 1000, 2000, 5000, etc.

Once you get to the point where you feel like can back out, if the card is a 7, 8, or 9, back out.

Repeat.

how do we unlock the SF skins for the event?

 

[theMrCravens]

how do we unlock the SF skins for the event?

If it's like the previous collab, you'll need to defeat a bunch of Sagat/Bison (probably swapped by F.A.N.G./Necalli for this event) for materials, and trade the materials for the Knuckle weapon skin.

 

[Anko]

if you have time to grind, go with poker

Built 200k with a starting 10 chips via poker and then moved on to bingo. I'm now at 2 million after 2 weeks. The account that won a low bet super bingo is at 4 million. Granted.. I just entered a losing streak and lost 300k, but I'm still moving upwards overall.

Build up your pool of chips with poker. Then go play bingo. Now slots. Slots look like a waste of chips.

 

[desverger]

I just noticed someone had invited me to the LTTPGBFGAF guild, thanks for that!

You can find me under the nick of "kettle". Guess I should fill myself to that "GAF players spreadsheet" too.

so does that mean well get a Rashid and Karin skin as well this time?

 

[theMrCravens]

Maybe. No clue here if they're adding a second SF weapon with special skins.
You'll still need to trade materials to get Karin though (SR character).
Rashid will be free.

Good that you got guild, enjoy the bonuses. Donate rupees to guild when you feel like, dont donate every rupee you have tho.

 

[SephiZack]

I went from around 50 coins to 8 million coins in one day.

My strategy was:

1) Play poker (bet 1) until I got to 500 (it takes a couple minutes if you always keep trying double chance even if you have 7,8,9 until you reach the 500 limit)
2) Play poker (bet 10) until I got around 5000 (same as before)
3) Play poker (bet 100) until I got to around 150k (took around 20 minutes or less doing the same as before)
4) Play 20-man bingo ONCE ONLY and bet 100k. If lose, go back to step 3. If win, go on to step 5 (I repeated steps 3 and 4 a couple times, but when I won I gained 1 million coins)
5) Now keep playing 20-man bingo and bet 100k; if you go under 100k, go back to step 3.

I was lucky to win twice in a row in bingo, so I reached just under 2 million coins.Then from there I never went back to poker and am now at 10 million after buying all the daily orbs/ap potions/ep things/anat/wind carbuncle. There will be times where I might lose 2 million coins in bingo without winning anything, but it quickly goes up. And when you go over 5 millions, playing poker becomes very inefficient (I think)

 

[Anko]

Jumping straight to 20 man bingo? Lol

I'm still betting 10k on 10 man bingo, winning 100k each time.

Still, it's a high risk, high returns way of doing things. Bingo is definitely faster than just farming poker. Even poker will troll you hard every now and then.

I went into a 20 man bingo room once. Me and a whopping twelve others were one away after the first ball. Then by the 4th ball, 1st to 3rd had already been won by someone else. I promptly went back to my 10 man room.

 

[SephiZack]

I tried playing 10-man bingo a couple times, but I felt like winning 100k while betting 10k was not very efficient considering I could win 50k in poker almost every 5 minutes while betting negligible amounts (and sometimes I would win around 70k and 96k with straights and four of a kind). That's why I jumped straight onto 20-man bingo; at the beginning it's tough but I think that overall the coins will increase and timing the bonus ball well also increases the chances.

P.S. This morning I was at 3 million coins after buying Anat and now I am at 10+ million coins

What do you mean by timing the bonus ball?

I'm sitting at 100k right now from poker but I'm still not confident enough with my amount of chips to go to bingo and bet 10-100k at a time. Gonna go with your suggestion and always bet in poker till 50k, I just get annoyed when it takes me 20+ hands for even two pairs

 

[Moonlight]

I've hit the earth-themed island and now committing 100% to a water-based team is the worst idea I've ever had.

 

[Quonny]

Bingo is annoying.

I made 400k this morning in poker and spent 180k so far in bingo with nothing to show for it. I'd rather have some control over my destiny than none at all.

 

[SephiZack]

What do you mean by timing the bonus ball?

Always click the first two numbers that you have, but only click the third and get the bonus when you are one away from winning. That's because if you get the bonus ball when you're not one away from winning, you're not going to get a winning ball in any case and in the next few balls you could get the ball that you received in the bonus, making it worthless. If you are not one away from bingo and keep your bonus, the next balls will decrease the possible numbers that your bonus ball can be, slightly increasing the chances that you get what you want. e.g. When you are missing 2 numbers from a bingo and can get a bonus ball with the next number, get the bonus ball if the next ball is one of those two missing numbers because there is a chance you will complete the line and get a bingo, but if after the number comes out you're still 2 away from a bingo, don't use the bonus ball)

Sometimes the normal balls that come out will be the missing number (free space), so you will have to delay your bonus ball by one turn.

 

[garath]

I just don't see making that much from poker that reliably. With the 100 max bet and winning usually with the 1x two pair or three of a kind, it's pretty lucky to hit the double up enough to get even over 5k in a single hand. I'm not disbelieving but the odds are against that many double ups in a row. It just hasn't worked for me yet. I want anat bad but I only have 100k.

Odds are madly in your favour with Poker.

While it's slow, as long as you keep at it you'll earn money in the long term. Always try to keep double-upping though, stopping at 5k would already be a waste.

Was in the same boat since I rolled Altair and Silva. After that island it gets better.

I believed that as well, but I just got my first insta-payout from hitting the max winning size in a hand a moment ago thanks to a string of easy to bet for double chances.

...Then I blew my winnings in Bingo. Just gotta persevere.

Straight flush you say? Double up you say?

Trollololol

Edit: And now I'm broke. Just like when I went to Vegas!

540k wasted on bingo without a single win from the 700k made from poker.

Yeah, bingo fucking blows. Thinking of switching off from a windmeme team just to spite the casino.
