Hm, that's an interesting idea. I'm working on a set of evasion gear but had assumed it wouldn't work there because of the charm. Two of them could alternate though, and with the ring they'd be able to get their mp back after the drain. At any rate the gear is a week or two of TM farming away so I'll have time to try it with WoL first.

I'm hoping the last week of the month is a story add on with our anniversary~ That'd coincide nicely if you haven't beaten it by then ;P
 
I'm on Leviathan. I haven't played in a long while but plan to get back into the expansion on PC. Debating staying on staying on that server or paying to switch over to Ultros.

It just comes down to if you want to play with Gaffers. If you think you're just going to solo all the time you don't have to though it's nice to join some big guild to get the sweet buff or experience bonuses.

Pulled a Trance Terra a couple nights ago. I thought I'd have all the black crysts required to enhance to hell out of her since I've never dropped my black crysts on anything other than Exdeath's meteor+1. Was surprised to see THREE of her skills all requiring black crysts and I didn't even have enough T3 ones to enhance her chaos wave. Luckily 300 NRG later I got enough need to do just that but had to leave Ultima alone. Apparently CG Sakura still sorta blows her out of the water :( But hey I'm not going to give up on a rainbow FF protag!

Trance Terra is still really good. She can chain her non-elemental attack where Sage Sakura can't, so that's a plus. Sage Sakura just wallops her on any enemy that doesn't outright resist lightning. >_>

Man Y'sh's drop rate on the raid summon is ridiculous now. Last time, I never got one, instead getting her from points. This time, I've gotten 5 separate 5000 point pulls with 2 in each.

I finally started in on the Echidna trial, got through ADV, then PRO with a little bit of trouble. Scared to try ELT without a solid plan in place for charm. Going to have to watch some vids.

Can't wait for tomorrow's news (here's hoping!)

I'll be joining a guild, just not sure how ready I am to pay that 18 dollar transfer fee just to play with random gaffers. I'm not a regular over there.

I'll figure it out when the expansion comes out. Any gaffers here also play on PC?

Hey guys, Look what I created today!

Why? Because I'm insane.
Also, costed me 1000 lapis to get 4 G-crysts. Also, wearing 4 x Quick Assaults. His Atk just sucks no matter what.

Thats hilarious and yet so beautiful. Medius was my first unit that could go to 5*. Needles to say I maxed him to 5*. So sad how bad they made him :(.

I know Trance Terra is still really good, but that's after investing my life-savings worth of black crysts into her and she's still not as good as Sakura in general terms and it's a bit annoying. At least she's better than any one of my 3 Lulus... >_>

What do I chain her Chaos Wave with? I guess I need some time to experiment a little.

Hmm, I guess regular Terra doesn't work. She can't doublecast her Chaos Wave and it's only 5 hits. Maybe an enhanced meteor on Exdeath or Enhanced Ultima on Majin Fina? Quake for William is 8 hits. Overflow for Victoria is 10 hits but she can only cast it once, at least until her eventual enhancements.

3 Lulus could be pretty nuts if you have a Max LB Tidus for the -100% Water debuff. Waterja maxed out would be 2800% damage per turn per Lulu. Granted, you'd field 2 of them only normally but that kind of damage ain't too shabby. It's even more if the enemy has a natural water weakness.

Managed to snag a few Minfila's with the raid draw, is it worth crafting her gear? Stats on them seem pretty low.

Got my butt handed to me by Golbez on ELT, didn't realize he would just stun lock my entire party lol.

Having a lot of fun with this game the last couple weeks, but still scrounging for more Fairies Writs to awaken more units! I guess these only come with events? FFRK eats up most of my time, but this is making a case as I can reduce FFRK to events only.

Also, any suggestions for my party composition? Also, should I pull on this banner, or wait a bit more? This is my main party at the moment. I can't seem to do Titan raid ELT, and haven't even tried the True Titan battle yet. The only way I've figured out how to beat Titan PRO is to use the wandering Reberta, Raging Thrust, then her jump attack which deals massive damage. Every time I use someone else it's such a long drawn out battle and Titan barely dies, or he runs away. Either way, PRO seems like it's better bang for the orbs since it yields me 50% more.

My best gear is Gungnir, Bahmut's Fang and the stuff from the Tower of Earth, along with some decent story gear. Managed to craft the Hero's Ring. Currently working on P. Cecil's Excalibur...but it's a long haul.


6* Lightning
6* P.Cecil
5* Bartz
5* Agrias
4* King

Also have:
5* - Seven,
4* - Snow, Mercedes, Nine, Refia, Minfila, Yda, Garnet, Chiziru, Vanille, Gaffgarion, Papalymo

Also, is it worth upgrading Rain, Laswell & co?

Any tips will be appreciated! thanks!

I'd recommend dropping King for Refia or Y'shtola (you'll pull one eventually with raid coins), you'll need a solid healer / buffer. Personally I'd hold off on pulling until the 28th~ No idea WHAT we'll get just yet, but it's our 1 year anniversary~ Fairies Writs mainly come from mog king events which was right before this event, if you still have any of the blue phantasma orbs you can still exchange for them. If you can't do the Titan Elt, I'd pass on the True Titan, he's much worse. Refia is immune to paralyze and her limit break can heal your whole team of paralyze, she also has esuna which can fix 1 person~

May or may not have missed anything, ask away, someone will answer it!

Oh ya, slowly work on the monster arena (upper right of the arena), each tier has a 500 lapis reward, and a few pieces of ok gear~

Nice thanks for the tips. Should I pass on building up Rain & co? I haven't needed them since the early game, but does building them pay off in the long run?

Since you're new to the game, Y'sh will win since she has dual cast innately, where as Refia needs it added via Tm. I personally think your party is strong enough that you don't need to immediately work on them, but there ARE story missions they're needed in, so a little wouldn't hurt for that lapis. I think what you have outshines both of them. Rain COULD have some use as a full breaker for you, so could Y'da >.>;

New news is in. Ultros/Typhoon trial up next.

Will be pulling for TMs on next banner, want Amelia's armor for Olive and get Camille's DW water sword for fryevia just in case. Hope I don't pull Forren, lol.

Toxic Rain

= More cancer to Arena

lol

Not pulling for new units, they have nice tm's but Iam saving my resources and grinding TM's. Story event going to eat a lot of NRG.

Nice thanks. I'll max them out as far as I can go without sacrificing fairies writs lol.

Right there with you. I'll do dailies and hopefully pick up a few Cammys. Will spend tickets at the end if I don't have at least 1 Amelia by then.

and got it trying to go to earth shrine WAT?

Yeah was just about to say this. It's happening to everyone on everything. I'm so close to full NRG annoyingly.

Edit: Arena seems to be working for me.

A full log out / in didn't help either, whelp that sucks... I too am near full energy~ Guess I'll take a few min for a break :/

pulling out of your box / summoning still works though? so weird

Apparently Chrono was online 12 Hours ago, just when i wanted to remind him in the japanese mobile game thread that we now have a second chcobo unit.

Game is running again.

Btw. Only 15.5 more hours till the direct.
Not getting up earlier for the Direct. Pokemon is my thing, but 7am here? No thanks. I normally get up at 8 anyway, so will just watch it a little later than everyone else. Not hyped. I've long tempered my expectations for this announcement. I would love to be pleasantly surprised though.

I didn't play Sun and Moon because I wasn't really feeling it (and Nintendo made the mistake of releasing a week late in Europe, by which time the whole story was up on YouTube lol), but if they announce DPP remake I'll come back to the series in a heartbeat.

Looks like Gumi saw my guess and decided to switch up both event lol
So, this week FF XIV raid, next week probably Mog King so Brave Frontier? (June 9)
Then first story event June 16 to coincide with enhancement batch 3 (that will include Elza, perfect since it's week 2 of Brave Frontier), and we'll be 11 days away from the anniversary!
Fine by me, I have waited for the first story event for so long.

Fry is Hybrid? If so, then that sword aint so good for Fry. Maybe for Tidus as 2nd weapon (+ his own TM).
My first thought. But since i know i won't get him i didn't made calculations if the sword plus materias and accesorys or katana with genji glove and materia.

Sadly he can't wear knuckles.
 

bonkeng

Member
Yes..
And the sword with double wield for sword, is meant for fryvia... if only I had her..
But I bet I can use it on other units as well...
How if the nat 5 unit on this banner? Strong or pitiful?

That Sword wouldn't fit well with Fry. If it's non-elemental, it would've have been great. I think only Tidus can benefit from it without drawback.

Heeeeck yeah first story mission! And Ultros/Typhon! Would love a Fohlen to go with my Yun but that's a long shot and I'm probably not doing any more than dailies on this banner.
Any other Yun in this thread? Need more of you to chain with mine lol (#whenyoudonthaveorlandu)
Yun way cooler than Orlandeau anyway! 613 905 040 if you don't have me

Spoiler about Shine's real identity
apparently it was discovered to be Amelia

If you like/are interested/curious of the Brave Exvius OG story, this event will be amazing.

Despite Gumi doing their best so I can save my lapis and tickets with this atrocious banner, I'm happy with the story missions.

So we will only drop White and Power Crysts this time or was that just an example?

Yes it's just used as an example, while we spent the tons of NRG required to finish it, people will find the best farming spots.

Mercedes needs to use axes, so nope.
Yep, what Celegus said.

Mercedes needs her axe. The sword only allows Dual-Wielding with another sword.

Tidus has natural affinity with swords, so it's best with him.

O I see. I thought it was just the cowboy knife but in water sword form. But it can only be used with other swords. Interesting.

I wouldn't say this banner is atrocious lmao. I think it's just a niche banner. I don't have any major uses for Camille or Amelia's TMs right now but I'll go for them for their niche uses (and the fact Aileen can use anything).

If I had Olive I would think the banner is bad, without her I just can't justify the use of another word other than atrocious for this lol.

At least the last Zero banner had the bonus units and a beast buffed Rem to excuse my shameful pulls >.>

Had this error nearly 10 times this morning when trying to use up my full Raid Orbs :( managed to eventually get in later on though.

Greetings all. Lurked long enough that I thought I'd finally get around to saying hello.

Figured I'd use the free 250 lapis from the Babel re-run (plus daily) to add a few slots for fellow gaffers:

Running a friend Noctis:

HP: 4875
ATK: 852*
MAG 295
MP: 329
DEF: 294
SPR: 231

ID: 515,337,526

Feel free to add me! Standard rules though, gotta have GAF somewhere in the message, happy to friend new players.
Also Tuffy, if you could find it in your heart to free up a player so I can cheese run Dark beasts with your Ling I'd be seriously grateful!

*Subject to change as I'm close to having a 100% evade Noctis which I'll mess around with for a while before going back to pure damage.

Hello and welcome! :) I've made one more spot for you and sent over a request.

Already another Trial and also new Story event :eek: the content is coming in hard! This is great :). I'll be sticking to Daily pulls in the next banner again and saving up my tickets (71 so far!).

Daily today was Shadow, actually made me lol.

Mercedes needs her axe. The sword only allows Dual-Wielding with another sword.

Tidus has natural affinity with swords, so it's best with him.

For Tidus , by adding a second sword, you won't be able to equip another weapon type to take advantage of 'mastery' materias (such as blade mastery with Genji blade for instance).
But you do benefit from having two water type weapons on each hand if you equip his Brotherhood/Fraternity TM sword.

There was a thread on Reddit about building elemental chain twice as fast by equipping your chainers with 2 matching elements instead of one. Fryevia with Aqua blade was discussed there as well.
 
I might do one or two dailies to try and get Camile for her sword, but that's about it. I don't really care for the other units or their TMs. I'm not really going to chase Camile all that much either. Her TM is pretty great, but I don't really have any use for it right now. I'm looking over my top tier unit list and it doesn't fit a single one of them.

So if I get her in a couple dailies, great. If not, I'm willing to let it go.
