Mistwalker/Hironobu Sakaguchi's Terra Battle |OT| Season 2 has been unleashed!
- Thread starter Goli
- Start date
Just next time you have a huge image, quote it so it doesn't take up a whole page.
Can't survive the wave of minions attacking me while also running away from the stab of doom.
Don't have Darkness but I guess I could try lightning lizard. Only problem is he's a sword user and all the enemies are spears, guy can barely survive three attacks.
Zuzu and Ma'curi both have a skill that does 1000 damage flat, Zuzu needs to be job2 for the skill (Thousand Spears), I'd recommend working on getting those skills asap. S'naip is capable of dealing loads of damage as well. With those 3 characters you'd have 1 of each weapon type covered.
Sha'plar gets AoE spells at job2, so it'd be important to get her there as well.
I don't think you really need elemental attacks for pudding time. Atleast for example Zuzu's thousand swords skill isn't elemental and that hits puddings, pretty sure his mega/giga sword do as well. Seems more like it is skills in general that hit puddings.
You can already add skills from job1/2 to job3, only time job changing would be useful is if the character had different weapons for various jobs and the number of those characters is very low.
I gave hunting zone 3 a try a couple of times but didn't see any difference in drops and went back to doing hunting zone 2.

Wow Chapter 20 is rather profitable
It's slowly turning into a habbit to first thing in the morning check TB and make sure I use up some of my full stamina. Oddly enough focusing on the game seems to help me wake up easier.
Yeah, shes seems to be a really useless character in general despite being S rank. Atleast Ba'gunar has the capsules and his lightning element to make up for his shitty damage/survivability.

This morning I somehow knew to wake up just before Metal Zone 4 closed. This game is consuming me...

Is there a difference between the loot dropped between Hunting Zone 1 or 2? Does the drops get rarer or is it about the same?
I think you may be confusing Time Devourer (10-10, weak to light) with Toxoid (13-8, weak to darkness)
Each hunting zone seems to drop rare loot more often. Most people seem to suggest to ignore hunting zone 1 and wait for HZ2.
you could do what i did this last weekend... via hunting zone 2 repeatedly do the coin creep for about 60k and spend it all on the gold pact. You should get at least one of the elemental mages.
How far along into the story are you and have you actually gotten something worthwhile from all those coin rolls?

I would definitely grind that chapter if it weren't for the 18th and 19th fight being such a pain for my team haha.

Hope we get another 5 energy for Bahamut, and like 10 when we reach a million downloads.
Thx! It was super-easy. Sad that the Monster Strike code doesn't work too with the US vers. but whatever.

I just did pudding time 2 about 4 times and, while my sample size is small, i think drops might be reduced if you have members over the level range. The first 2 times i went with 2 level 41 guys and got 8 and 13 drops, respectively (WITH the boss showing up). Then I remembered how they scale exp in metal zone with the highest level member, and how exp is zero for people above the cap and thought why not drops too? I removed the two 41s and replaced them with some 30s and my next two runs i got 18 and 21 drops (WITHOUT the boss showing up)

Thanks for the tip! I leveled up Ethereal and a beast in a pinch using a lvl 21 Grace. I saw that the difficulty of the battle increased proportionally the higher the level my chars were.
Wonder if we'll get more free energy for 1 mil and/or the bahamut event.
Should be able to get to 1 mil by friday. 10 energy for 1 mil downloads would probably spoil everyone, haha.
Was more curious if he had even unlocked Hunting Zone 3 for those 7 - 12 k coin runs. + you can only get boss monsters from coin rolls if you've actually beaten them.

Lightning definitely works.
Did they add new music to the message screen recently? Also what is the pre-registration serial code?

Just did pudding time 2 and got 8 fucking items WITH a boss kill. Shit sucks.
I used a weaker team and got more. Getting way less nowadays, ugh.

ok, I have been pudding time all day and I haven't gotten anything but rings. So very frustrating.
story of our lives :/
Im in chapter 10 still, and I haven't gotten any SS from the coin rolls yet, but I do have I think 41 characters now and can form a team for basically any enemy I face now if I want.

Mega and Gigasword can miss on the pudding. Any attack can hit puddings but physical attacks just have a high chance to miss, I don't have Zuzu but it sounds like his skill is a special case, since it does 1000 damage always.
A whole day of farming pudding and 0 animatons so far. This thing really hates me.
I'm convinced that animaton has the lowest drop rate out of all the items besides the legendary items. I get everything else besides it and it sucks cause I'm gonna need 3 to get Bahamut's 2nd job :/

It's really random.
I got 12 Animatons, but can't get Orichalcum to drop when I need it.
all ive gotten is 2 animatons today >.>
Damn I got 14 oricalcum's right now. If only we could trade items ;-;
Already went through a full bar and a half worth of stamina trying to get some. Got enough stamina for 2 runs so I'm hoping these will be the ones >

idk man but something is different about Pudding Time this week than last. I used to regularly get 18+, with anything below 15 being exceedingly rare. I've only gotten over 10 once today out of about 6 runs.

Our luck sucks. I refuse to admit they would change it without telling us
Well the rates could always be based on other factors. Like lower rate the more you have, or shit like that.

I guess that could be it. I'm getting fewer drops, but still getting 1-3 rares per run. Well, most of what i need is from Tin anyway, so hopefully it will be better.
I doubt Caladbolg will be used for anything other than adding a job to Bahamut. I don't think it would be worth your effort to farm it.
Maybe if you could trade items it might be worth it.

It repeats every 8 days, so it's not that big of a setback, if any at all really
