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

Thanks guys.

Wow, this looks like a ton of work to max out OK. I was not prepared. If i'm reading that article correctly, i can't even unlock his mote boards until the next FF3 event. What a bummer.

The mote dungeon boss drops those motes if you can handle him. One stam farms, not sure what drop rate is.
 
Sorry, I'm not following. Which mote dungeon boss? The torment stuff? Can it drop from any boss?

It's the Ahriman boss mote dungeon. It's a regular drop from the boss, you can farm it.

Edit: And now I remembered that it's only 1 stamina. So yea, forget about that 2 or 3 refreshes. I was thinking it took me about 50 clears and I estimated 20-30 stamina / clear because I forgot how much it actually cost. But yea, drop rate isn't bad. about 20-30%

Ahriman tedious as hell, I heard it dropped motes so I thought about farming it and it took me almost 10 minutes to beat it with my best melee team and he didn't drop anything. I gave up, too much time for something I don't even have yet.

If you use FFRKI or Creeper you can see if it drops before killing it. It's only 1 stamina, so just exit out if it's a non-drop event. Now that we have expfest, I'm levelling my Onion Knight (as we speak in fact), and plan to put them all to use right when I get him to 65.

A little late, but I got Agrias' and Kuja's Bursts

Already had Agrias' Cleansing Strike and SSB, so its nice to have a weapon for her as well

And my weakest synergy is IX, so the staff is also welcome
 
What are FFRKI or Creeper? o_o

FFRKI is a tool that, coincidentally, I wrote when I first started playing this game like 2 years ago. It basically injects itself in between your device and the game's server and watches all the data as it comes across. Then it displays a bunch of statistics and stuff, and back in the day it would send drop information to a centralized database. So for farming a specific item you enter the dungeon, and as soon as you enter it sees what is going to drop for you and displays it.

Most of its usefulness is obsolete however, because it was really mainly used for collecting orb drop information to min-max farming efficiency. You could search the database, filter, find best drop rates for certain items, etc. With the current and future dailies, the optimal answer for orb farming is just "do the highest stamina daily / orbfest". Plus, it's pretty difficult to set up FFRKI due to the way it basically does a Man in the Middle on your internet connection.

Creeper is something that someone else created a few months ago. It solves the same problem but in a different way. It's FAR easier to set up, but it has its own drawback, which could be a deal killer for some people.

Basically you connect your phone to a proxy like Fiddler, then due some steps to determine your "session id". You then go to the aforementioned website, enter your session id, email address, and phone number, and press a button. At this point you can turn off the proxy. Even leave your house or change networks. You then enter a dungeon, and as soon as you enter, it sends you an SMS and email with your drops.

The drawback though, which is the deal killer for some, is that it impersonates you to the DeNa servers. Every second or two, it constructs a message that says "hey, give me the latest information", sends it to DeNa pretending to be your device, and uses the response to figure out if anything dropped for you. To some this could be a privacy invasion and, unlike FFRKI, is actually detectable should DeNa care.

Luneth's BSB destroys him. I farmed him while RW'ing this
 
Hey guys, is this a good 100 gem pull?

went what the hell since I had over almost 250 mythril and I'll probably get disappointed during the fest.

Happy about 3/11. Meh about both for Emperor and Firion's Helm as far as the items I wanted. Yay for three items for synergy.

Not touching this banner with hazmat suit. Went from 0 to 50 in three days and I need to know what's coming on the birthday.

Banner 2 of Emperor is of more importance to me. Has Maria's BSB and all 3 of Gordon's relics are great for a Support in addition to Minwu's Instant Curaga medica and Josef's Hastega (although I could just pull on Tyro Select 1 and get Leila's Dagger).

My thoughts as well. I'm a sucker for support debuffs BSBs, and Gordon's will help with the CM.

Maria's BSB of course does not need any discussion. God tier.
 
I haven't done the Realm Dungeon Lucky Pull or any pulls on the FFII Banner (which I plan to do) yet. I'm waiting until we know what the anniversary banners are.

If they're not revealed beforehand, I'll pull on rather the Lucky Draw or FFII, but not both.

I think all three have been revealed? It's like a healer one, a support one... and I guess an attacker one?

Those are the anniversary Lucky Banners, not the Celebration banners. (And those three are Curaga level SBs, EnElement SBs, and all BSBs.)

I'm talking about the five special banners we get during every celebration, with the new featured relics. (There will also be the a separate sixth banner with the player poll relics.)

There's gonna be nine banners total throughout the anniversary.
 
3/11 on my 50 pull - Firion helmet, Leila gloves, Leon armour. So nothing extraordinary, but some helpful synergy.

Have budgeted another pull for Banner 2 (pray4maria), and i think that will be it for FF2 unfortunately!

Was not going to do one, but realized I have little to poor FFII synergy so I did an 11 pull. Ended up with Firion's OSB and SSB which will net a nice +20 atk when mastered so that's nice. Guess I'll use a MC3 on him sooner than later.

I'm wondering if I should do the same. My II synergy is weak but I want to save everything for the anniversary.
 
Well phase one objectives met:
Major black orbs to r3 final chain spell
All but four named characters maxed


No idea how many refreshes, didn't go too crazy. Lots of major orbs dropping including the 1x1x1
About 10m gold in the black

Next mc3 for vanille and her bsb

Nemesis team finalizing
Tyro SG
Edge ssb last stand/haste/blink
Alphinaud reflect
Vanille bsb heal

Thinking Fran and her bsb for fifth slot. Need the vi event mc3 for her.

Nice! I've gotten 2x Gigantaur on the same run probably 6 times, but still holding out for the mythical perfect run :( Frankly I'm getting pretty damn good rates on the Gigantaurs, so far I'm at about 60 stamina / major. So I don't see any point waiting for the new dailies. This is fine, and it also allows me to amass gil adn exp at the same time. I think I'm probably on about 30 refreshes, but I haven't been keeping track.
 
Looks like some people who had no problem getting their special week-end login bonus last week are getting 6 Mythrils today. Good job DeNA, that will fix the Mythrils discrepancy that you tried to fix by making it even worse!

this reminds me of a friend i had who was trimming eyebrows, trimmed one side a tiny bit too far, had to trim the other side to compensate, trimmed that a tiny bit too far, repeat, repeat again, by the time it was even the eyebrows were like half gone so they had to be shaved completely off and drawn on with an eyebrow pencil

My mom cut my hair when I was in middle school once. She did this to me trying to even up my sideburns. It was terrible.


Edit: Typing that reminds me when I was in high school that she put highlights in my hair once. It looked fine, but wasn't much. The next time around she went to put in more, but broke the little hair net holes thing and also accidently smeered it on my side burns. The end result was I looked retarded blonde.

I had to play it off in high school, but man it sucked.

Huh, +6 Mythril for the missing weekend mythril. That I received.

Not complaining but weird.

Same here lol

I mean at a point if they couldn't correctly identify or get the mythril out specifically to the people who were affected it's better to give it to everyone than just screw over the people who didn't get it at all. But if you're gonna do that at least say that's what you're doing!

That mythril shit is whack. I was made to wait and got 1 bonus. Others weren't made to wait and got 6 bonus, for nothing? Pshh.

Well, all this means is they need to figure out the ultimate difference now (which should be 11?) and credit it to the people who didn't get any.

Except it'll just mess up again and the deficit becomes even larger.

we in positive feedback loop now guys, infinite pulls gooo

Yeah, I run dailies rarely in JP but dont recall ever getting this sort of luck over an extended period of runs.

Here is the apex of my run:

Woo, 6 bonus mythril and extra record missions today.

I'm still cold on the banners at the moment due to the amount of dupes that I have, so I might hold on to my mythril until Extreme fest.
