Does anyone know if we're getting any free mythril with this fest?

TBH I'm fine with the lull we're in now. I can only handle so much magicite farming / optimizing for end-game content, it's kind of a relief to just log in, do the dailies and log out. And at least with T2.0 and 5* magicites, you're not really missing out if you can't do everything right away - content doesn't go away, no wasted keystones, etc. Granted I still don't like the direction the game is headed, but I'm also not too concerned about clearing all the hard content right away.

Sorry for the double post, but with all these relic draws, I guess nobody realized we just got the best gift of all.

Surging power can't be inherited. The most common inherits I've seen for Evrae are Fast Act and Health Boon.

There's the one going on now and another in like...3 months I think?

1/11 LD Ysayle SSB

I do have her USB so it's not a complete waste, but def. not worth 25 mythril. I need to quit doing these again but my urge to pull keeps getting the better of me.

This banner almost got me too. I was actually thinking about spending money, the main thing that stopped me is thinking about how bad I'll feel if I spend money and still don't get what I want (and the fact that I was saying I'd never do it just like 2 days ago)

This is my exact sentiment, the one time I broke down and paid full price for a draw I went 1/11 dupe and ended up ragequitting for almost a month. I'm still salty when I stop to think about it. If pulls were more reasonably priced I think I would have gotten sucked in hard early on, but $30 is just too damn much.

The only reason I stick with Ramza is I have his LM which lets him act first immediately, useful to get either Shout or Wall off right away. But with Bismarck being mixed offense, Quina probably will work better since I can then slot a Wrath on Rosa. I do not have Shelke dived at all; so far I've gotten by without a dedicated entrust-bot and I'd like to save the motes unless I'm really struggling (not that I'm totally against it though).

Ramza's LMR is fantastic if you're looking to sub30, but otherwise it's not worth taking Ramza over Quina. Definitely give Rosa wrath (this will almost always be the case), and if you don't want to dive Shelke you might consider diving Quina instead (I'm generally not a fan of trance-type LMs but I hear hers is p good).

okay I want some help. Trying to do the 4 star mote Dissidia raid solo and I am just lost on what I am doing wrong.

Bringing OK (pUSB), Aerith (new USB), Tidus (everything for days) Ramza for Wrath/Entrust (using mostly on Aerith to get her USB up over and over) and Cloud (got his Cross Slash/Cloud Cycle combo)

Like I bring godwall as a RW and I still just get wrecked. Am I going too far in that direction? Should I bring more offense and try to burn it down?

Cloud gets an ATK buff when he uses Limit Break, so definitely bring a dancer with the -ATK dance to overwrite it.

All right, Ultima Weapon can go fuck himself. I spent about 2 hours fighting him with different team comps, finally managed beat him, and his final attack does 9999 damage, piercing, and apparently ignores mblinks. Last stand seems kind of useless for this fight considering his sap procs, but I'm guessing that's the only way to withstand it. You might be able to break the shit out of his magic, but even you're looking at a minimum 5k finisher.

Well Bismarck just kicked my ass (Orlandu OSB/USB, Aranea USB/OSB, Lightning imperil BSB, Ramza Shout, Rosa USB). I think I need a second healer for this fight, and maybe this is a good time to swap Quina with USB in for Ramza

That kind of firepower should have no problem with Bismarck. Rosa USB should be more than enough healing. I'd replace Lightning with Shelke if you have her dived for more OSB casts (and maybe an entrust to Rosa if she can't keep up). Also IIRC Quina's USB is a straight upgrade to Shout, so I'd get on that asap.

To clarify it's just 1 Crystal for the 100 stam. and 2 majors for the 80 stam. Not sure if I worded that well or not. But anyway, exp daily is fine if you still need to level your characters, but later on magicites give enough arcana that they're better for leveling your own magicites.

The drop rates stay the same, but you get 1 crystal / 2 majors from the completion rewards.

Sorry guys, I stole most of the luck for this one.

3 pulls total
Orlandu USB x2
Elarra USB
Seifer Chain
Larsa BSB dupe
Elarra BSB x2
Vanille BSB
Tyro LMR

Pretty much the best possible outcome.

On a semi-related note, is Core synergy ever going to be useful?

Third time: 29.68

Thank you Ramza for sacrificing your soul gauge to Tidus.

Yeah this is where entrust strats really shine, when you have 1 OP character that can just curbstomp everything with enough meter.

My luck has been garbage since FF8 parade, but tonight turned that around.

Tifa LMR
Cyan SSB

Ursula SSB
CoD BSB

Sarah USB

USB LD:
Ysayle USB
Jecht USB

Sarah's USB is one of the like, 3 things I actually wanted from FFI, plus 2 really solid relics from LD.

I'm pretty sure we're on track for what JP got. There is a chance they'll change the next 2 to be OSB/USB only, but I'm waiting to see what actually happens before I decide to pull.

Haha, I just ran a raid with 2 Dickbutts in my party.

That is all.

All my RoP pulls so far:

Ace USB
Yshtola LMR
Serah USB, Lightning SSB
Vaan LMR
Lion BSB
Yuna SSB
Garnet USB
Irvine BSB dupe

I'm really hoping to match last RoP, last time I got 6 6*s total, and I'm at 3 now at the halfway point. Honestly though, even if I whiff on the rest of them I'm still super happy with what I have.

Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes.

Yeah I really want to pull here, but it simply isn't practical for me right now. If I have any mythril left after fest (lol) then I probably will.

Hahaha wow. 4/11 on the 500 gem draw.

Zack USB
Exdeath USB
Ayame BSB
Minwu SSB dupe

I literally pulled the exact relic I was going to take for my selection. Now I have some homework to do cause I have no idea what to choose.

Awesome, my Rafa's already LD'd with her burst, and Red should be super helpful against Hades.

Keep your fest give me that sweet Dark Knight Cecil banner

I was actually looking forward to this banner when I first heard about it, but I've been playing around with Noctis's USB (which also gives 100% stoneskin) and it really doesn't last long enough to be useful. At best I could see it being similar to ninja abilities, where it's OP for certain fights but kinda useless for a lot of them.

Also Snow BSB/11 on LD. Might be helpful for CMs but thats about it.

I would wait until after next fest to make any selections. There's no time limit on these, and we've got realms on parade happening again with this fest.

What's the difference between Catastrophe and Earth Guardian's ultra skills? Catastrophe reduces the enemy's lightning damage, and Earth Guardian raises your party's lightning resistance. Is one of these better than the other?

Holy shit, powercreep is no joke. Before Thanksgiving, I had 0 water relics. I just beat Marilis (Maliris? Marilith? the fire one) for the first time in 24 seconds.

Also re: Rafa BSB, it's a really good utility BSB on a good utility character, but it's weak in the speed meta. It's a stacking faithga with a healing command, but her DPS (especially without en-lightning) is too low for her to contribute in any high level fight without a lightning weakness.

Last 100 mythril got me tidus's chain and yuffie's usb. Really happy, I've been chasing that damn chain for ages now. Also I guess I should figure how ninjas actually work now.

I only hate you because it's a dupe.

Yeah I hit a goldmine of stuff I already have. I know they would never do it, but it would be really cool if there was a trading system for dupe / unwanted relics

Alright so I got drunk a few weeks ago and reinstalled, mainly for raids but now I guess I'm back into it.

Here's my parade draws:

Gladiolus BSB
Papa SSB
Fang SSB
Vaan USB dupe
Lion USB, Curilla SSB dupe
Kimahri USB dupe
Marcus BSB
Squall OSB
Vincent BSB
Kefka BSB1
Bartz BSB1
Golbez BSB
CoD BSB2
Minwu USB
WoL USB

I'm really happy with this, honestly it's the best 75 mythril I've ever spent. Got my first real radiant shield (Kimahri and Ingus don't count since I don't have their respective chains), my first good healer USB (Yuna's is kinda crap outside of raids), and a decent number of DPS options and stat sticks.

I also stopped giving a shit about magicites and wasting stamina. Just playing whenever the hell I feel like it as opposed to min/maxing makes me enjoy the game a lot more.
