Final Fantasy: Record Keeper |OT3| When having no onions makes you cry

Xclash

can't grow facial hair
Damn I must have pulled like 8x 30 and managed to get everything but Kain and Refia's BSB. Highlight is getting Vanille's five times and Terra OSB three times. Going to save the rest of my pulls for XIV since the rest of the fest is rather mediocre for myself.
 
Man I'm really sorry, this shit was not supposed to happen. This is some chrono type of luck right there :(

Meh it's okay I don't know why but this is the only mobile game were my luck is pure shit tier. They do a good job of making sure I won't ever buy anything though lol. Oh well I will save my last 50 Mythril for a different one because if I see that healing staff again my phone is going in a wall.
 
My 11 pull got me Thyrus, Minwu's Healing Staff, and Steiner's Tin Armor. All new for me, so that's great.

Would of liked one of the BSBs and/or Terra's OSB, but I'm not gonna chance spending anymore Mythril. The hoarding continues.

2 Blood Swords

MAGE META HEALER BSB.

As much as I want Refia/Kain BSBs, I need to stop. Got 3 of the items on this banner already.

I did 2 pulls in banner 1

1st pull:
Kain BSB, and Refia BSB x2

2nd pull:
Vanille BSB, Terra SSB and OSB

Skipping banner 2, next pull on Banner 3 hopefully for Maria BSB or Vaan OSB

I'm glad I didn't pull platinum sword since I already have +++

New OT!

Any good banners to care about? Or should I just wait for this FF14 god banner.

Also, I just wanted to ask if this casino roulette thing was a response to Granblue and their event-based loot system. lol
 
100 gem sparklie! Minwu dupe. Not pulling on this as I have the play sword maxed thyrus which will probably end maxed next week and now a minwu+. Great banner for noobs, though. I have Terra's osb in Jp but never bother with it so haven't used it to its fullest.

You must be the best puller here, every time I see your puls they are amazing. Congrats thats a ton of good stuff together.

Congrats on your OSBs and other stuff! Some insane pulls here on GAF!

We finally got Mind Break! :D
And hitting 4*9999 is so satisfying. I really like mage meta. My team was Vivi(BSB+Meltdown) and Terra(SSB+Chain Firaga) as my fire mages and the rest was two healers and Tyro for dances and I still did insane damage. Hitting 3*9999 with Meltdown is ridiculous! I really need to hone it to R2.



We see this as Tin Armors, you(or the guy who did this) as Rosetta stones. :p

So about Kain's BSB. I should hone Lightning Dive as soon as possible to R2? R3? And then wreck everything that doesn't resist lightning?

I post when I have good pulls, sometimes I get 1/11 pulls with generic 5* item that's nothing special to post about. I'll post my bad pulls next time, haha


Context? A whaler from reddit trying to get terra OSB but got 16 tin armors instead?

EDIT:
The guy did 30 11 pulls trying to get the OSB (didn't get it).

Nvm, I see now...

Looking for advice

I'm powerleveling Terra to 99 now because of her OSB

What's a better way to gear her up? Max MAG or fire boost+?

I have her tiara with 30ish mag or refia glove with fire boost

I'm thinking fire boost wins out because +20% damage OSB is more than +20 mag points for stronger nukes?

The Tin Armor case screams to me "if you don't get what you want within two 11x pulls, stop chasing it"
 
I have to hold myself back from drawing. The BSBs all seem nice but I already have the Tiara, Platinum Sword and Thyrua so any consolation prizes would be even more disappointing. I'll wait until Banner 3.

I did 3 pulls and basically got everything I DIDN'T want. 1x Platinum Sword (dupe), 3x Thyrus, 1x Tin Armor, 1x Healing Staff.

I can do 2 more pulls, not sure what I should go for now.

Single 11 pull got me Terra OSB and a dupe Plat sword. Not the pull of my dreams or anything but it's nice to have an OSB finally (and Terra's at that). Already have her Tiara and Locke's BSB so shit's gonna BURN. Wish I had some +fire armor though. Done with this OSB Fest outside of dollar pulls regardless, 14 banner one looms...

Some people just don't have self-control, especially when they have the $$$ to chase a relic

It's scary how similar it is to a casino, but honestly some people have to get burned like that before they learn their lesson. Hope he/she did.

I'm not F2P

I do $30 for a 11 pull once or twice a month

that's my limit

I've gotten some iTunes cards as Christmas gifts tho so I plan to do extra pulls for osb-fest and XIV

This is considering I used to play mmorpg's and had to pay for subs every month for $15 each game, but quit those since I've been busier and replaced my gaming to mobile in the meantime

I'm thankful for FFRK, it's a fun game and fits my gaming itch when I have school and work 12-16 hours at a time, but it sure can burn ppl with pulls. It's the nature of gatcha mobile games sadly.

I didn't get any grand prizes, but did get 2 new, non-dupes that i'll use. Tin armor and Thyrus. My first wall, and the tin armor useful for fire so win win. Next pull will be on 14 banner. Happy with my pull here!

Rosetta Stone is +1 augment to an item during upgrade

Does feeding a 5* relic as a material do the same thing as a Rosetta Stone?

I'm still new to this augment stuff and would like to start tinkering with it

Is augment that little hammer that appears on top of the weapons? They are all like 1/20. So we need 19 Rosetta Stones per relic?

Should I combine my 2 Blood Swords?

If it was me... I wouldnt

My logic = Terra tries to be a hybrid with a more magey type, giving her a blood sword with 160+ MAG stat makes all other rod/staff pointless while also 120 atk as a bonus.

2 swords with 160+ mag can make for some interesting mixed teams and allow some nuking from hybrids like Onion Knight and Tyro.

For example, in d200 multiplayer with Gilgamesh, I like to gear up Onion Knight so he can BSB burst both physical and magic to avoid counters from both Enkidu and Gilgamesh. Enkidu counters magic so physical burst command for that and magic spam on Gilgamesh for 4x3k.

Had to go 7x11 deep to get Terra's OSB; still worth. Also collected five Platinum Swords and six Thyruses along the way...

I wasn't going to, but I went all in on Banner 1.

Pull 1:
Tiara (VI)
Healing Staff (II) - dupe

Pull 2:
Platinum Sword (T). I don't really need it now that I have Onion Knight's BSB. There's no place for Ramza in my team.

Pull 3:
Blood Sword (VI)

I'll have to try to figure out how to put Terra in my team now. At the very least, Mote Ifrit should be pretty easy when it opens up again.

Should I combine my 2 Blood Swords?

To me, it depends on the synergy in the realm. I got two of Luneth's SSB daggers during the last III event, but I've kept them separate because I had no III synergy before that event.

Lawd Terra hit Valigarmanda Ult+ for 99,999 without Enfire (+VoF) at level 80. That was beautiful.

That's why I don't really have any desire for osb's.

Krile's Tomorrow's Promise did 160k damage over the burst duration. Sure it's not 100k up front, but more overall. BURST FOREVER, OSB NEVER!

Osb at the end of a fight to skip the bosses hardest phase



How many dupes is "too many" for yall to pull on a banner?

Wasn't going to pull, but got weak and did. Pulled Thyrus, Platinum Sword and the Tiara (dupe on this one).

Pretty much Thyrus and Platinum Sword were exactly the two I wanted. :D

I wouldn't prefer them in general over a BSB due to the sheer utility of the commands meaning less ability use needed as well as their other unique features depending on the BSB in question, but there would have been no "weak" or "very weak" phase to worry about there which can matter a ton. I can only imagine what she will be doing with actual set up. Fire Beam > 2 x 99,999 in a mere 3 turns ain't playing around, and I can realistically do it with something like Lifesiphon/Entrust on OK or even just Ramza BSB Command 2. Wouldn't even be much work since I have Locke with Imperil Fire too.

4. I might do 3 especially if a dupe would be a BSB since those are lower odds than normal relics or dupes are a good stat stick for a realm I am weak in, but Mythril gets better over time as gear improves and new/better SBs come out.
 
I am pretty happy with this pull, yet also slightly disappointed by circumstance:

First off, no dupe Platinum Sword is a relief.

Second, Vanille's BSB seems fantastic and is my first Burst Medica (I have Dagger of Resolve as my first WM Burst). I can even run full Bursts teams now (Luneth/Faris/Rikku/Yuffie/Jecht/Beatrix/Lightning + Onion + Keeper + Vanille)! However, I'm scared that now I'm "cursed" to go 1/11 on the XIV banner and get Y'shtola's BSB. If that happens, this pull will likely go unused.

Lastly, I'm assuming the best use of Terra's Tiara would be Chain Firaga + Meltdown. However, I don't have any of the Chain -Gas honed (I figured Mage BSBs are the best way to tackle Mage Meta and those just use burst commands). The best build I could think of doing for her is R4 Wrath + R1 Meltdown. Wrath spam -> SSB -> Meltdown x2 -> SSB x2. Would the damage on the back half of this tactic make it viable? Would the best RM be Ace Striker for gauge or a damage boost? If damage, would Devotion for MAG be better than +20% Fire?

Damn, the RWs Terra I've found, even though they are lvl 99,they only do about 70k-80k damage. I can barely get past half Valigarmanda's HP with this, my team can't face him after that. I won't get this Ice Crystal x.x

For me it would depend on if you have enough to take advantage of element stacking. Do you have Imperil Fire? +Fire damage gear? If yes, then I would run with those and mix/match synergy gear until you can comfortably hit 9999, or weaker multi hit BSB commands that add up to 9999 or more (or close to it) in *insert content here* with your BSB commands (or Firagas in your case) each round, since that's the cornerstone of any element stacking team. I've had a fair amount of fun with my Holy one (PCecil + Beatrix and friends) but there's always going to be that one or two bosses that come around that are immune/absorb your team's damage so you need a backup team (f*ck you Yunalesca and Red Soul).

Otherwise, i would just run it like any other SSB/BSB character you want to use and do an Ace Striker type RM + any RW BSB and build up the gauge with the Commands. This is pretty easy with OK's Vessel of Fate since he works with any character and his buff is good anywhere (and there's a lot of OK RWs out there), but you could also run a few other rarer things like Vivi BSB or w/e
