None of that gear looks good... anyone prove me wrong?

what the hell is this adventurer +4 binoculars? 40% boost to attack, def, mag, and spr?

Adventurer +4 from expeditions.
Only question is:

Do you need to do 10000 expeditions for that Adventurer +4.

Sorry, I was referring to the rain, laswell, fina gear, as such it can be used on others, but a special boost on them >.>; the binoculars was another event...

Yeah I know. I remember when these Story char events came to JP. JP Players said that Lasswell sword is nice to have. I guess we have TM farmed so much that its not so nice. Unless it has some element?

I'm mad. I saw Awakened Warriors and thought "It's time" but Gumi said "Absolutely no way".

I really hope this Adventurer +4 is not what it seems like.

Well, besides the continued omission of everyone's favorite soon-to-be-incoming-but-clearly-not-soon-enough 6* upgrade, I'm pretty excited about this week's additions.

They fucking lied about WoL 6* by the end of the month, wow.

Then they make the "promise" and we will have 2 x 4* in Tidus banner :(
Rikku & WoL. Gumi and troll moves heh. Hopefully they don't add WoL to that banner.

Now I have to decide if awakening Fina further is even worth it. I have Rain and Laswell at lvl 100, even been giving some spare pots that I can't use on anyone else on Rain to get him buffed up for the story character exclusive content.

Outside of these new gear stages being added this week, is there any other content coming down the pipe from JP that requires story units?

29th for WoL believe. Keep some materials held back for him!

I wonder if that lasswell equipment will work on dracu? Might give him a bit of a push towards being (slightly) useful again.

Probably not. The bonuses only apply to the original and Season2 CG versions of the units, not the various other crossover/alt versions of the units on JP (which the halloween ones would fall under)

That's a most interesting response, with a perspective I was not even considering that caught me off guard somewhat. I've got some academic thoughts on the matter, but I'd like some additional perspectives first from others.

Let me extend these questions to everyone then:

-- 1) Have you refilled on this event because of the generous currency rates? If so, how often have you refilled? [none, a few times, many times]

-- 2) If you have refilled, is it because you believe that the rates are an unintentional fluke (Ex: Gumi was lazy as this event is a literally copy of the first event and didn't think about adjusting currency rates) and are trying to take advantage of them?

-- 3) If future Mog King events were just like this, would you want to refresh there as well? What if all future events were like this? At what point would you consider these generous rates to be "the norm" and would stop refilling because they will always be this good?

Thanks everyone, in advance.

Given how much I type when I switch on academic mode, I won't be able to type out my take on the matter until after work tomorrow, as there is no way in hell I am going to hunt and peck touch typing a lengthy post on my phone while at work.

I feel like this post is going to get lost in the plethora of posts that are likely to ensue today's news but hopefully you see it.


  1. I haven't refilled but if I don't have everything by the last day I will refresh then. I have my own Mog King calculator spreadsheet, but I only do the calculations based on the average rate I'm getting, excluding rare spawns and any rank ups. I do this so I know the maximum amount of runs I need to do per day to get what I want. However rare spawns and rank ups are a thing, so I'm going to let it play out and see where I am on the last day.
  2. I do not believe this rate up was unintentional, but a result of the backlash from the Type Zero event. The event was praised for the double the rate and NRG consumption which saved IRL time, but was criticised for not adjusting the rare spawns accordingly. I feel Gumi have shown that they listen to the community and adjusted the rate.
  3. As I said in part 2 I feel this was an intentional choice, and so I believe this will be the new norm going forward. I said the other day that I don't refresh often, and the reason I am willing to refresh on this event is because it's very unlikely that I'm ever going to have this kind of bonus again. I kept my 2 Seria from the last BF banner specifically for this event, as well as Maxwell, so I was already at 250%. Then I managed to get Tilith after a daily and 4 tickets, and with friend 5* banner units I'm sitting at 425%. Because of this I want to go for some crysts, which I wouldn't normally consider (I want 3 support giant, 3 power giant, 1 power pure). On top of that there's some really good stuff available. All 3 exclusive items are worth picking up. On top of that there's the Kelsus shards, and I always like to pick up HP+15%s. Those 5 together exceed 100k ore, which is 50 runs for me, but imo they're worth spending lapis on to get if I have to do so.

Fair enough, gl in that vortex, seems healing t4s are like my guard ones :/

I believe I have enough Guard and Tech to enhance WoL once his enhancements drop... Unless there's another character drops that uses them that I want to enhance.

I have no clue who even uses Healing Crysts. I literally have way too many of the smaller versions and kinda want to sell them.

Got the best two on a limited banner, that's pretty darn great. Elza seems to be a monster after the recent enhancements, congrats!

Dang c-murph could wait for the half-energy event to start, then it would only cost 600 lapis for tears and disappointment.

Shit. Completely forgot... Ugh.

For DKC build after enhancement, how do we build him?
Still DW? Are we supposed to heal in-between of those soul eaters?

Reraise. Dw should be the optimal build for dkc. First hit is for -100% dark imperil, 2nd hit will be the 1500% damage.

Gunna try and enhance both of mine for Team Dark (Elza, DKC, DKC, Dark Veritas)

Adventurer +4 from expeditions.
Only question is:

Yes. Probably. Yes. I imagine lots of RNG and item combining.
 
Warrior of Llght?


They wouldn't really throw him in on the same week we get FFX would they?


Ugh, why am I even asking that? Of course they would throw multiple 4* units on there to screw us all over in getting Rikku.


Edit- I'm hoping character weapons are next week and also they throw a bonus, "Hey, these guys can be awakened too! Summon WoL and others!".

Haha, we got trolled with the Awakening! Got excited when I saw the memo.

Also, Lakshmi gets added as an Esper (was not expecting her as an Esper choice in this game)! Out of curiosity, I always wondered this but how did Hindu mythology make its way into the early Final Fantasy titles? We also have Mahadeva in the Colosseum too.

1) Yes, maybe once or twice a day (but wasn't because of the currency rates).

2) Rates haven't been great with me actually, haven't run into as many metal gods as others, and also I'm just running with 3 Bonus units (Maxwell, Karl and Karl). 25 NRG is quite a lot for the one run and it seems like I need more runs in each day for the rewards I want to grab, and as it's an easy "auto" event I'm trying to make the most out of it (also because I have Maxwell for a greater bonus).

3) If the NRG was around 15 then I probably wouldn't refresh as much as I'd get more free runs in during the day. Also, if the team I had didn't have many bonus units, I'll just grab the exclusive items and leave out Crysts / Moogles.

Daily - Zyrus

Feel kind of bad, since it's my second one, and there are people here that pulled a million times and never got one.

Wish we could trade units with people.

She just got added in FF XIV too, with an amazing music.

Yeah I Googled online to see which other titles apart from 6 she was in. I'll have to check out the music :). Was just always curious how Hindu deities made it into the series, wonder who was inspired to add them and why.

Real happy to see the big bridge is back. Another event I can finally finish off.

It really is good how they are coming around again, so people who couldn't do them before can clear them, and new players get to experience them. Good stuff!

Loving all the new content coming up.

Well I guess they've kind of been there since the beginning. I mean Shiva was in FF3 which I think is where summons started.

FF has always been a pretty multicultural game. Ifrit is Arabic I think. Odin is Norse. The list goes on.

Reraise seems good but that also mean we have to re-buff him every turn right?
Guess i will try how hard it is to time the healing in-between. 1500% damn sure seem really fun to play.
 
Why is everyone saying the currency rates are great? Because you have a lot of event units?

I'm pulling 1k w/ bonus (tilith + friend).

me and you both bro..
the issue is that for this events units rate are pitiful..
10 tix gave me a tilith (yay) and nothing else... meaning that until i get a maxwell, i won't have enough multiplier to farm comfortably... :/

I had 325% Bonus + friend unit 100% before this event started.
Compared to last time:

1. Normal droprate (13 nrg)
2. 3 Metal Gods (1 Bonus 75% unit + friend Elza 100%)
3. 3 Metal Gods (25 nrg)


Now we are getting more Metal Gods to pop than last time.

Yes because most of us already had Maxwell and Tilith and the previous 3 star base units from the previous event. I am running Elza, Maxwell, Tilith, and one of the 3 stars and when the metal gods appear I've pulled 15k+ crimson ore.

This event has been really nice to me. Tilith on day 1 with just one ticket and Saturday's daily was Elza. Also got several bonus units during the weekend.

I also love how easy ELT is to farm. Every event should be like this.

4* ;) No 3* units in this event. Tho Seria feels like 2* unit and same for Karl.
 
I am going to do no dailies but will spend 10 tickets, because Mog King rewards.

First pull...


IIRC, I got her as my first daily during the original event too. O___o

Edit:
01 - Tilith
02 - Grace (New)
03 - Trey
04 - Shera

05 - Delita (second ever true rainbow, again Blue -> Gold -> Rainbow like my Noct was)
06 - Aiden
07 - Cyan
08 - Shera
09 - Cinque
10 - Ludmille
Now that I've had some time, I leveled Delita up to 100. However, I'm not seeing much use in him for my teams. Is his only redeeming factor his TM Sword?

Is it worth enhancing him? I have Ling that I use for breaks/mp battery and many of us will have WoL whenever Gumi allows it. I'm sure DPT would go up w/ 20% stronger DEF and SPR breaks, but he doesn't have mitigation via ATK/MAG breaks. At first glance, that doesn't seem like a good trade-off.
