Just reached HL. What's the best way to get Silver Centrum, Grand Order or Rose Queen? (hearing there is a lot of failed raids for the latter).

Hosting Grand Order = guaranteed centrum + share chests occasionally has centrum,

Rose Queen HL = gold chests have chance for centrum BUT 6-man raid, so chance to fail is high with wanpan folks and also people with bad grids (cant elixir in 6-man either).

Primarchs = gold chests can have centrum (rare).

Also you can trade for a silver centrum once a month in the shop ---

Personally, Grand Order is honestly the best choice since guaranteed from host chest. Its easy to gather the materials to host one, and ive never seen a grand order fail since everyone wants to be in one.

I had about 100 rolls shoulda saved for Zooey but I caved like a lil bitch cause I wanted Strum. I got lucio, charlotta, Baal, Prometheus, kattapiller, and 2 gold moons.

Oh and one week after I just mlb'd tezcat there's earth shiva. Fucking great.
 
Damnit, I should be happy about getting Clarisse in the draw, and I AM, but... Man, Vira/Katapillar or the earth summon would have been... Oh well.

Is now a good time to try getting into this game?
Oh yeah, it's premium gala time (think the usual once a month 2X SSR rate up) so it's a great time to roll and re-roll for limited gacha characters. It's too bad you missed the anniversary or you would've been able to get 10 free rolls a day.
 
Didn't have enough time to actually try to get orbs for jin's costume. Gotten the Katalina and Ferry one. Given how I only have Katalina in that group it's fine with me. I doubt I'll use the costume though.

I'm too lazy to reroll and will just stick with what the game gives me and try to tough it out from there. Maybe I'll get lucky since it's gala time. Lord there's a lot of guides for this game it going to take months to master all the mechanics I'm sure. Still it looks worth the time investment.

edit: Welcome to the team Melleau and sachy, kitty antics ahoy.

Managed to draw a Sturm from the gacha earlier today, anyone know how good she is? I also have a Yeul from one of the free anniversary draws and I've read she's rated pretty highly on tier lists for fire. I'm thinking of doing the Beginner's draw set for a Percival because he's also rated pretty high so I could start up a fire team.


One more question:
On weapons, exactly how much is damage being increased by when it says "Small/Medium/Big boost to X element's ATK"?
 
Dangit game, don't make me start working on a Water team too...

I had lily for awhile and had no incentive to start looking into water teams but I did a pull and gotten Charlotte...

Since I already have Varuna and some Leviathan weapons this is completely going against my plans of trying to purely focus on one element at a time.

So now I have both Dark and Water teams in the pipeline while my Earth and Fire teams are fully operating

I have basically all elements going at once now. I've pulled Usable units everywhere or gotten enough relevant weapon drops that it just makes sense. Still not even finished my starting grid (light). Need 12 more guns to mlb them. I have a dark grid about half way to completion, then various states or water, fire, earth and wind. This is what happens when you leech whatever is around without a care >.>

Right now, I'm only rank 55 and this is what I'm rolling in terms of notables:

Fire:
Clarisse, Aliza, Ghandagoza, Lucius(SR)

Earth:
Alethia, Cagliostro, Nemone

Dark:
Vira(SSR), Narumaya
Hades, Celeste

Water:
Lily, Charlotte
Varuna, Leviathan

Weapons are pretty much monoelement for everything but rarely anything maxed out. I know I still have a long way to go but the game is throwing me all this stuff to work with =/. If the game drops me light chars then I already got Thor. The one element I have virtually nothing for is Wind.

You should confirm on the wiki, but I believe it's (1/3/5)% base + skill level.

For example, small boost is 2% at skill level 1 and 11% at skill level 10.

So I got super lucky and someone online gave me one of their reroll accounts that they've had going since last year.

It had: Rackham, Lucio, Mahira, Lancelot, and Yuisis.

I start dashed Andira because I didn't want to pass up that opportunity and wanted to start working on wind. But then I got Percival in my draws and Yuel from my pinboard SSR ticket. I also just drew Carmelina, but it seems like my fire time is better than my wind team.

Anyway, I feel good about this start, especially since I have a really good pool of limited characters to grow into. I'm probably going to ticket Korwa when I get a chance. Hopefully next legfest I can draw a few light or earth characters to round those teams out.

Any advice starting off?

Focus on doing raids when you can, and when you can't just leech them until they're possible.

Do co-op with a friend early so you don't have to go back later and go through normal mode at like rank 50.

This table for six event is hilarious from a newcomer's persepctive. I have no idea who the hell most of the people are and the story is self is bananas. Still I've been having fun since I started earlier today and the spirit of co-operation in raids is unexpectedly high. I'm trying to balance my time between the main story (since I recently unlocked co-op and still don't have the casino just yet.) and the event.

Are all events so generous? I'm being showered in wind tokens and honors like they carry the plague.

You can never have enough from raids. Especially when you're starting

Ahh ok ty, although I'm getting so much stuff I've had to add an extra stash to my weapons because I had too many of them and the weapon exp items. I need to actually upgrade something or sell a bunch of the normal junk to make more space.
 
The sooner you start upgrading anything, even SR weapons then sooner you can reach raids that you can farm for better gear. Everything has value ay the start.

I'm not doing too bad for only being being 2 days in. I like the characters I have so far and Eugen will replace Katalina once he catches up in levels. My weapons are just a mess at this point but I'll get a proper all earth themed setup going in a few months I imagine. Gotta work on uncapping Melleau and Yuel pronto since I hate wasted exp. Also gonna see if I can find a crew accepting newbies that intends to compete in the upcoming GW. I won't be the greatest contributer given I doubt I'll be anywhere near level 100 by then but I wanna try and I've got nothing but spare time on my hands.

Biggest thanks in the world to you dude, things are a tonne easier now and I got over my worry of needing to horde every last little item until some nebulous "later" when upgrading the very best stuff.

You should do the current event and fill your grid with the attack up SRs and SSRs. Fastest way to get an decent grid.

I got the event Sutera and...I was under the impression that she'd be wind-element, not fire. Especially as there already is a fire Sutera with some of the same abilities, while her wind version lacks the whole jade crest system.

Ah well, new skin for her, in any event.

I never followed the Granblue comic strip that closely but... that Katalina was pricesless. And now we know Jin is a masochist. The more you know.

I highly recommend reading it when you have some free time, its really good and a quick read, too.

Got a second copy of the event summon. I just use that to uncap the first one right?

Yea, but if you really want you need 4 copies of event weapon/summon to truly full limit break it, especially when it comes to the event weapons as most if not all of them tend to have a skill that's only unlocked upon leveling it to the max level e.g current event weapon which is the wind dagger unlocks a unknown level of skill at 100.

I'll keep that in mind, if rng is with me and I get all the honour rewards I think I can max out the dandelion which can stay in the grid til I get enough appropriate earth weapons.

Just got my first Yggdrasil omega sword so that's exciting and should help a bunch too.

Best way to go for a early power boost is to skill level 10 a omega weapon, a unknown type weapon and maybe a mainhand/celestial weapon (e.g if you are going for Earth some would suggest going for Baihu Fist). In short, you want to go for max multipliers for the weapons to amplify your damage if possible

If you are lucky to leech a bahamut horn from the proto bahamut quest you can also look at either making a basic bahamut dagger or bahamut sword which will boost your damage by quite a bit as well
 
Is the mobage sso down? Im trying to get into granblue but when i click the mobage button nothing happens. Tried clearing my phone browsers cache and trying different browsers but the same thing is happening in both.

You just missed the optimal time to re-roll (premium gala) but it comes around at the end of every month so you can get in then.

It'll come back once in a while. It's about 24 bucks if you're buying on google play.

So much progress in just a couple days. This event has been super good to me I only need one more summon and one more dandelion to finish uncapping both and I should have enough honour to unlock them by the end of the day. Then it's back to farming yggdrasail and collosus since most of my units are fire or Earth. Hopefully next legfest I get lucky and can fully fill out both a fire and an earth team. Also I fucking love Yuels level 45 skill, worth every bit of ap to do each part of her mini quest.

Quite excited for the 4-beast event that is about to begin in a few days. Looking into farming the Genbu axe to improve my water pool for this month upcoming fire guild war. Also exciting times! Need to wait about two days for the daily classmarks.
