Crazy amount of content update!!
Cleared last story and skip all the story, gotta do it again tomorrow and read it. Too late and too sleepy now.

Lucky for me that i kept my coins and didnt complete for coin pulls. Could complete it but trying to level all jobs and early levels.
All i left are hero characters did a 10pulls and instantly lvl 80 Camella all jobs.

 

[Visceir]

Seems like you can get the new Z Class DNA characters from Pact of Truth pulls. Really strange choise to just make them available like that and circumvent all the effort it takes to get them through the DNA system, hmm.

Not to mention that if you get the Z class from DNA upgrade,
You will lose your OG character and have to increase the Z's level and SB again.
AND the OG SS are back to your Energy Pull again(assuming you had already 100%SB and upgrade to Z)

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Hmmmm I wonder who I should try to Z class first...

What level were your guys to clear last story? I can't even beat wave 1

 

[HawthorneKitty]

What level were your guys to clear last story? I can't even beat wave 1

Lv 70, almost failed because near the end, something nullifies all healing and I didn't think about stalling it out.

 

[zulux21]

i beat it with my level 70 team. (well 71 now )

just a wave or two were hard most of them just took some time, though I killed one of my people in a stupid way.

 

[Soulflarz]

SUDDENLY WISHING I FINISHED 30-10

 

[duckroll]

What level were your guys to clear last story? I can't even beat wave 1

I got wiped the first try, on the second try I beat it and got the bad ending. Wave 1 can be really tough if you don't know what to expect. Just target the girl and ignore the mobs. Try to keep your other units away from the mobs so they don't get hit by the area attacks. If you have at least 2 heavy hitters at lvl70, she should go down pretty quickly.

The battles seem to have special conditions though, which are related to some sort of branching. For example if you use Zeal to attack Calista in the first battle, she has a "!!" reaction.

Yeah it's interesting how nobody has reported getting either character.
Conditions must be insane.

 

[Soulflarz]

Wait.

Ugh. 10 waves?

Shit, looks like I'm grinding. Whats the current cap? Remember I played back towards launch/70

 

[Visceir]

Gonna hold off on running The Last Story again until someone figures out the right way to go about it to get the new characters. Seems like people are having a really tough time figuring it out.

Wait.

Ugh. 10 waves?

It's 90 now

How do you guys plan to go about getting to lvl 80+? Grind 20-1 over and over?

 

[zulux21]

Yeah it's interesting how nobody has reported getting either character.

yup I sure didn't get any of them.

my plan is to likely slowly grind 20-1 again and get my characters up to 90 so when people figure out how to get them I can get through the battle with ease.

 

[Soulflarz]

It's 90 now

Oh shit. So I can lazily win?

I forget if my team is good enough. I'll post who they are in a min, you guys tell me if thats 30-10 good

I don't have an invincible thus I don't care at this time
I won't roll energy again until there is another boosted 10x event anyways... I expect to get to 1k energy before I roll again as they wait until fall of next year to do the event again

 

[Heng]

Where do you get the items to upgrade your SS characters to Z? I've tried running Last Story chapter and got nothing for it.

Edit: Nevermind found the list, it's listed after the bosses name.
Thanks Visceir.

They changed some monster drops

From terrabattleforum:

Monsters loot
Some monsters have changes in their drop table (Thanks Brakkis for the exact locations)

Toxoid (13-8 boss): 13% Heartwood Bow instead of 3% Terra Spearbronze
Mechadrake Redux (14-4 boss): 13% Heartwood Pendant instead of 3% Dark Ring

Craggy Leviathan (25-7 boss): 13% White Hole instead of 3% Terra Staffwood
1AOO (ch 25 boss, unkillable. Seems bugged as its 29-8 version does not drop the item): 13% Wisp of Jealousy instead of 3% Shell of Madness
Jade Guardian (26-5 boss): 18% Deepwater Helix of 3% Ice Ring (yes, 18, not 13!)
3COO (29-10 boss): 13% Cipher Cell instead of 3% Wisdom Flower
Oxsecian Fighter EX (30-8 boss): 18% Mantle Helix instead of 3% Terra Staffwood (yes, 18, not 13!)

 

[Red Mage]

Am I the only one who is having issues with getting the game to load now?

 

[PixyJunket]

I'm a little bummed that I'm going to miss the Last Story event or have to power play for the next couple of weeks to "catch up."

Oh well, it'll come back.

Am I the only one who is having issues with getting the game to load now?

It's working for me.

 

[putermcgee]

Got wiped on the second wave my first try, then on the eighth wave on my second try. I'm going to have to reorganize my line-up a bit because my healer got double pincered in the wave 8 enemy layout, which meant once she was dead, all were dead.

If the Z-class characters are in the PoT pool, there's no way I'm going to sacrifice one of my SS-classes along with an A-class dragon... Not to mention the waste of time to get a weak monster over level 50 just to get absorbed.

I am liking the new content, and this is still one of my favorite iOS games, but they've made some changes I'm not thrilled about recently. Now only the host of a co-op match gets exp? Good luck finding people to randomly join you when they have literally nothing to gain from it.

I'm guessing mass feedback will make them change stuff around.

So Z-class stuff are in PoT ? That's crazy.
New people can just try and reroll one now. lol

 

[Momentary]

Looking to trade for Steam bucks

Got an account with:

SS: Olber, Gaiga, Amimari, Czekras, Koko, Lewto, Jennish, Bajanna, Camellia, Yulia, Suoh, Sheena, Yukken
S: Ellvern, Zuzu, Gegonago, Alika, Zeera, Puprope, Pupropu, Palpa, Leviathan, Bahamut, Odin, Zafitte

And a hell of a lot of A's and B's all PoF complete. PM if interested.

 

[PixyJunket]

Metal Zone King 4 and 5 are in the arena for a couple of days.

All story mission are half cost as well.

 

[Folstern]

Got around 14 energy from achievements. Nice.

 

[zulux21]

Got around 14 energy from achievements. Nice.

I only got 10, but that is partially because I am someone who jumped right to jobs 2 and 3 so I don't have many with level 50+ job 1s lol.

 

[Sparkedglory]

Thanks to the energy from the achievements I managed to get Amimari. Good day

 

[Hige]

I've barely played in the last couple weeks and I just log in for the daily bonus now. All my characters are level 60+ on all jobs so I don't even do metal zones anymore. The thought of leveling up SS characters to level 80 and beyond is extremely unappealing if they don't introduce something better than 20-1 soon.

It's a huge update and yet I'm not that excited about it. I was obsessed with this game since launch day, but the way they've handled the events and co-op battles is underwhelming.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I think the co-op is fine.
I remember bringing sub-optimal characters because I knew I could get away with it if the others were competent. I never exploited it for exp because I don't have time for that, but I only ever did it for eidolon items. The stamina circumvention was real in co-op story I bet.

 

[Soulflarz]

So spam 20-1 for levels? Got it, since I need Zael and Calista, I loved TLS so much :3

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Looks like people have figured out how to get the TLS characters.
Less than 50 seconds of dragging and all those stipulations? Yeeeeeeeeeeesh.

 

[Negator]

Used the 5 energy code and got Olber! Hmmm.....

 

[Visceir]

Yeah, I find it unlikely I would be actively using the characters so I'll just put that off until I have a high level party.

Got some new DNA items from today's daily quest.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

What Code?

Y4jucHcGjxPiUbgk

 

[Visceir]

Thanks. I better be getting some badass Z characters for all this energy I've been hoarding! Hopefully they'll have another PoT event soon.

Right now the smartest course of action for spending stamina seems to be just leveling up my characters. All the DNA mats are no use until I meet the level requirements and having a high level party will surely make everything else easier. + the potential energy achievements for lvl 85+

 

[duckroll]

Damn, after the achievements activated, I overflowed with Energy. Thanks Mistwalker!!!!

Along with the Taiwan code, I have 53 energy now, with another 3 coming really soon once I get some more people leveled. Gonna save it for now and do a 10x pull when the time feels right.

Does anyone know if monsters count for the "way of the sword/spear/bow/staff" achievements? It says Job1, and they have one job, so...

 

[kiyoaki]

I've never had this much energy! (50, that is). Since I already have two SS characters I need to level up to Z class, and plenty of items I need to farm, I don't feel like getting new characters right now. I'll hold out until they do another ten-pull campaign like the recent one.

 

[Visceir]

I'm feeling like just grinding out the exp this weekend while the story chapters cost half the stamina. Getting one job to lvl 80 seems fairly easy -- getting 3 to lvl 80 will be rough tho...guess you can settle for just 1 job if you don't care or can't do the DNA thing.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I don't feel like doing Ch 20...

What if Mistwalker adds a 5th ability that unlocks at 80?

????

 

[duckroll]

Don't use ch20 to grind lol. It's a waste of time and stamina. I generally use ch23-4 to grind characters and it works really well. Costs 16 stamina per run (8 now!), and as long as you have a good S or SS mage and know how to position the team, you should be to get out of it with 98-100k exp per run. It's best to do the run with a 4 member party because of how the final battle goes (positioning is VERY important to kill everything in a single turn), so that'll get you 25k per character. Previously with the lvl70 cap, it meant that the high level mage would be maxed out and won't benefit from the exp, but now even that has changed!

I got these nice EXP capsules though...

 

[duckroll]

Oh! Anyone noticed the new background on the official site?

Mmmm....

 

[Folstern]

Got Zael and Calista. If you treat the battles like a really long and challenging Puppet Zone it goes by much better. You also get 3% boost for each character when you clear it and get the perfect ending so it's probably worth repeating. I need to try out his tanking skill.

That background looks interesting.

 

[putermcgee]

Y4jucHcGjxPiUbgk

Thanks for that. I thought I was up on the special codes available, but I missed this.

How many turns does that heal-negate last from round 8 in TLS? I think if you get hit with that, you might as well give up.

 

[Visceir]

Lasts quite a while and I'm quite sure you will always get hit with that. The monsters on that floor have specific behavior, if you kill the right ones then the other ones don't do any special moves or just stay in one place and do the same move over and over.

Supposedly you can also negate the fire damage if you get close the the npc.

You definitely don't want to kill the enemies and move on to the next floor until the heal-negate debuff has ran out tho or you won't get the right ending with the new characters.

 

[Negator]

Looks like somehow I have 16 metal tickets. Time to go to town levelling these SS characters.

 

[meow]

Glad to see TLS event lasts for a while yet, I'm in the middle of finals and don't have the time/inclination to figure things out.

Is the change to co-op only on the story stuff or also on the eidolons?

You can get animaton and dark matter in chapter 20 though.
