Auto-Enhance is pretty nice!!

I got my Gold Tickets today, but I think I'm going to challenge myself to auto-farm the 90000 Wind Seeds I need since it's MFING MOBIUS DAY.

Fuck me I've been slacking for a bit and don't have enough for 8* :(

Need to power farm gardens today and for like a week lol. Just wish I could get 200k on auto consistently.

Same. I also need like a million fire seeds so I can finish up Dark Lord. T_T

Seems way overpriced to me, I'm gonna pass on the Type-0 set. None of them really stand out to me other than the 5*, but I'm not wasting all my tickets chasing it. Hopefully the FFX ones are more reasonable, crystal drop rate up sounds tasty.

That really sucks. I was really happy how the previous packs were handled, but I guess it doesn't pay the bills in the end.
...
I might pull 3-5, but I need to know how many summon tickets are going to be in this upcoming exploration area.

Got my 2nd 4* card this morning, Valefor. Nice! I don't really use any of the Ranger classes, but good to have nonetheless.

How are you guys opening panels 5-8 already?

The King is (almost) dead. Long live the king.

For context, the first four panels had no bonuses towards fire abilities. If I complete the last enhance fire panel and augment Dynamis (Flamefang), I've no doubt that it would out damage Eternal Wind (aka one of the strongest ranger abilities in the game currently).

Mobius day and those free silver/gold openers helped! Save the gold for the panel 8 weapon. I finished up my BLM this morning and got WHM halfway through 6 so far. Definitely takes a loooot of seeds. Sounds like gigantuars are coming next month and give mad seeds though? That sounds real nice.

I did get a 4* card for free this morning at least. The ranger earth area attack... great for all my ranger jobs (which consists of neophyte ranger)!

I did 5 pulls.

I got:
Sice: 3* Wind mage card, AoE wind nuke
Queen (yasss): 3* Earth mage card, single target earth attack that hits multiple times
Eight: 4* Water Warrior card, single target Water attack and gives Berserk to self
King: 4* Water Mage card, AoE water attack that hits multiple times.
Nine: 3* Wind Warrior card, single target wind attack that costs only 2 orbs

I'm pretty happy with this, I had barely any decent mage cards, and the King card might actually be great for the Ace Striker job too when I get it, since it can use Mage Cards effectively. Nine is pretty great too since I had no wind Warrior cards

Did 3 more pulls because I'm waiting to go for surgery later today and I'm nervous lol
Cater: 3* Wind ranger ability, single hit + weaken
Seven: 4* fire ranger ability, single hit + Poison
Ace: 3* Earth ranger ability, single hit (2 orbs!) + stun

No dupes at all from 8 out of 13 cards, not bad!

I got all 3 of the 4* cards too :)

Pretty good luck on the 4 pulls I did. Got the 5*, two 4* (King? and the fire Ranger card with Bio) and a 3* (Cater) and all of them are relevant to my Dancer deck, Assassin deck or Scholar deck. I think I will stop while I am ahead,

Wow, Hasmal 3* is no joke. 2 action recovery for everyone really makes Haste and Defenders who can drive Earth at a premium. Had to burn 3 Phoenix Downs on a Mage who kept dying, but it was needed because it was the only source of damage.

I just started playing this last night and I'm having the same issue I had with Exvius, I cannot for the life of me parse information is stat menus. I don't know what anything means, how to read it, nothing. I've always had this issue with FF games, but the mobile games seem even worse. I feel kind of dumb that I can't read it no matter how long I try to figure it out. What am I doing wrong?

Well, there is a lot of information dumped on you rather quickly.

What are you having trouble grasping?

Here are some basics:

Fire < > Water, Earth < > Wind, Light < > Dark.

Enemies have two HP bars, Orange/Red and Green. You have to use special attacks to make the Orange bar Red, then normal attacks to empty the Red bar, once that happens you go all out to deplete the Green bar. Normal attacks draw orbs, orbs are used for special attacks.

Strength = Base Power.
Break = Bonus to Damage to Red Bar.
Magic = Bonus applied to Special Attacks (of the same class).

I played a bit more and I'm getting the basics of combat, I'm just not understanding reading the stats of cards and stuff. Maybe I'm just over complicating it for myself.

Okay, so starting from the top.

Each card has it's own level, and the cards you have equipped determines your class level. You can increase the card's level by completing battle with it equipped. Should be noted that the card in your first slot will get bonus exp.

Next is the flavor text.

After, is the ability which shows the cost, damage, break power, and effect. You can increase the ability level of the card by fusing cards with the same ability name (in this case, Firaja). Those symbols below the Crit Chance are the bonus passive abilities of the card. Those can become available by leveling the ability. They unlock randomly as you use the ability.

Finally, the skillseeds. These are used to unlock panels for your job. The amount you get is based off your score in battle, the difficulty of the battle, and what cards you have equipped. You can increase that last one by fusing cards of the same element. In this case, fusing any fire cards would increase the skillseeds gained.

So remember that you get exp by doing battle with the card.

Fantastic! I think I get it now, thank you so much! I just finished the first multi-level dungeon and discovered leveling up jobs with skillseeds as well (which I apparently missed in the tutorial). It's all coming together. Now to figure out Exvius...

&#8734; &#8734; &#8734; Mobius Day, ya'll. &#8734; &#8734; &#8734;

I'm about to 8&#9733; my White Mage, and I'll try to do as much damage as I can to my Assassin.

Already 8* my WHM and THF, working on SIN now. I wish more jobs used Wind seeds. Up to over 500k again after getting down to like 200k when 8* my THF. Maybe I just didn't pull the Wind jobs. Can't wait for Tidus to come out already so I can do more job pulls. Want to get a job with Drive Heal, but the collector in me insists i try to get Tidus as well even though I probably won't use it. Does have a nice weapon at least.

Did quite a bit of grinding today, though I still have about 100k of wind orbs to go before my Samurai is 8*.

I've also decided that after Samurai, I'm not going to work on anymore jobs for a while. Shit is too time consuming and mindless.

Yeah I maxed BLM and WHM but kinda holding off on any others for the moment until new jobs. More focused on getting the 4* sicarius cards augmented and maxed.

Huh, the rewards from the collective limit break weren't all that great. But hey, guaranteed Fantoma drops at the summit!

This new event is kind of okay. On one hand, it doesn't have the annoying mechanics of the chocobo event though on the other hand, we didn't really get any new cards that are worthwhile. The 8 orb cards are just so subpar and the colossus can't be augmented.

Full details are not out yet, but it looks like the Tidus job card will be "free" if you buy 12000 Magicite during the promotion period (not sure if it'll also be in the pull pool or not).

I don't care about Tidus, but if I can score a 20% iTunes card this week I might buy in for all the other benefits and take the bonus.

If that's the only way to acquire Tidus, that is straight-up absurd. That's like $75 worth of magicite. And with how many cosplay job classes are in our future...frightening.
 
R

Razmos

Member
I very much doubt it's going to be the only way. It's probably like in many games where after you pull a certain amount of times you are guaranteed it.

Or just straight up buying that much magicite gets you it for free without having to do any pulls at all.

The TW event announcement doesn't mention any other way of getting it though...

I hope it is just added to the job pool as normal

This is what I am assuming they are doing.

Either way, the job is supposed to be good but not enough to get frothed up over (especially considering it eats up like 30+ precious crystals to level up).

Eeeek, those are awful... hopefully there's a better system in place for future legend jobs. Definitely pass pass passing on all of this crap. What sucks even more is that the good AoE cards are early access. Yuck.

It seems like they are trying different business models with every Legend Summon.

I sure hope there is another way to get the job.

Imagine how it will be whenever the XIII jobs release.

This game's F2P friendliness sure has fallen off a cliff since the FFRK packs. I didn't particularly want Ace Striker, but it sure makes it unlikely that I'll ever acquire Gabranth or Squall, the costume classes I really want. My only hope is this setup bombs hard and they head back towards a more friendly setup.

Were the numbers really that bad in global to do this? Just seems like such a shitty move.

I didn't want Tidus, but definitely wanted Hope and Zidane.

Sadly, seems like the 12k magicite purchase is the only way to get the class.

$75 to cosplay as Tidus in a mobile game. <3

If that's the only way to get character cards i will never have one. I don't need em to enjoy the game at all, but that's just terrible.

Ugh, this pisses me off so much. Normally i instantly quit any f2p game that introduces content behind a pay wall, but because this game was so fair at first (no job dupes, no gambling to get FFRK cards) i already dropped money on it. Quitting now would mean losing that investment, so I will continue playing but never spend a dime on this game again. Sad thing is there will probably be so many whales and FFX fan boys/girls who buy this shit anyway that SE will continue this shitty business model.

That's legitimately disappointing. I was really looking forward for a chance to get it and saving my summon tickets. There's no way in hell I'm buying 12k magicite in like 2 weeks.

"Players who accumulate 12k magicite purchase during event period will receive legendary job "Ace Striker". This job will not be available in the job summons, we seek the understanding of all players."

Okay, fuck this game.

Yeah, there's no way I'm supporting this game anymore. I had 35 summon tickets saved up for Tidus, and now it turns out that I can't get it unless I pony up an obscene amount of money? Thanks, but no thanks.

I've been "playing" and loving Mobius pretty much all day every day since the Global release, but I'm definitely out after Chapter 3 pt 2 drops (yes, I'm kind of enjoying the story so far and want to see what happens in the next part of the chapter) unless they change their plans before release.

Oh well, I guess it's about time I stop bothering with gatcha games altogether and start doing something more useful with my time...

Exactly. I saved up about 30 tickets to see how they would handle it.
