Used my ticket on the ice banner to try for a chain:

Josef LMR
Squall AOSB (dupe)

Better luck on the 30th, hopefully.

Larsa Glint (Astra and Esuna)

Not something I really wanted, but this looks like the kind of relic I might be glad to have at some point.

Got Fang's AOSB

Objectively, this isn't so great, but I really like Fang, so I still appreciate it.

I really should go ahead and sub-30 the XIII torment, I'm sure I have the tools for it at this point.

I'm a sucker for cheap pulls, but I won't have the mythril for the pre-fest LDs, much less anything for Claire's Sync, if I pull every LotR.

That said, I will skip XV, XIV, VI, and IV for sure. Probably skipping III and XI.

I got Ace Chain on T-0 and Agrias AASB on Tactics.
Great start to this LotR

I did an 11 on the earth chocobo banner and I finally have an Earth Chain. It's Machina's, who is probably the worst chain holder, but I'm not complaining. I also got his w-cast LMR, so that instantly improves him some.

BF: Eiko Glint (dupe)

Did Ice and Earth because I lack chains:

Ice: Umaro BSB
Earth: Galuf USB1, Red USB2(dupe), OK AASB

Then I said "screw it", and just did all of them
Fire: Vivi AOSB
Lightning: Queen w-cast LMR, Shelke BSB
Water: Rydia en-water LMR
Wind: Fang USB, Marcus USB (dupe)
Holy: Pecil USB (dupe)
Dark: Golbez USB (dupe)

Fairly disappointing, all things considered.

3/11 on the BF draw:
Dupe Curilla BSB
Beatrix LMR1 (which is garbage, but +10Atk)
Larsa USB1

I used my ticket on VII, and pulled 1/11 Yuffie Awakening. That's pretty damn nice.

Day 3: Cloud USB

---

Day 2: Squall Glint: not bad actually. With his AASB, this is bound to be at least somewhat useful eventually.

---

3/10
Lightning w-cast LMR
Queen OSB
Kain Chain

In a weird twist, the 6* are worthlesss to me, but the 5* is a relic that I 've wanted for a while now.

---

2 useless things on the Valkyria banner (17 dark hits; a few hits and self-crit+)

3/40 on the free draw
Vann's pants (dupe)
Sazh USB (dupe)
Luneth USB2 (new)

Well, that was disappointing.

Holy crap!!!

I just saw on Reddit that we're getting new daily logins starting from Nov 1.

The big news is 2 free Realm/Elemental tickets per month, at the cost of 3 fewer mythril.

I also took a shot at the wind banner.

Ultimecia en-wind LMR (neat, I already have her AASB)
Fujin Chain (I have Alph's so this isn't that great)
Cloud AASB (awesome, now I just need a Glint for him)

Not bad. Tempted to give it one more shot for Cloud Glint+, Zack's 6* relics, Alph AASB or Cloud LMR. Getting risky though, with 6 dupes.
---

Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK.

Realm draw refresh time:

VII: Yuffie USB2
VIII: Fujin OSB, Laguna USB1, Squall Fire AOSB
X: Auron USB2, Kimahri Glint+
XIII: Vanille LMR1, Noel Awakening
XIV: Alph BSB (dupe), Papa AOSB
XV: Noctis Awakening, Gladio Awakening
T: Gaf LMR (dupe), Cid USB (dupe)
T-0: Eight LMR, King USB, Cater USB
Core: Elarra Glint, Tyro LMR2 (?, stat buff with book), Elarra USB1 (dupe)

Irvine Realm Chain

Meh.

AOSB Lucky - 1/11 Palom AOSB: not bad since I have his USB
RoP I - WoL USB2: I have his AOSB, and this is a better source of enholy than his BSB
Wondrous - 2/11 dupe Reks USB and WoL Chain: it's gen 1, not sure which will do better on physical teams between this and Edward

Got Ingus BSB dupe yesterday and a new Josef USB today.

Not sure which healer BUSB I want to pick. I'm leaning towards Yshtola, but I haven't decided yet.
---

Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK.

Eh. Wasn't really planning any pulls based on the JP banners, still not planning any with the modified banners.

VI: Dupe Strago OSB (will probably keep seperate, 6* Water+ armor), Sabin AOSB
V: Dupe Galuf Glint
IV: Dupe Cid BSB

100-gemmed Ingus Awakening on the earth banner. That's nice, but without an earth chain, Odin is probably still not doable.

Zell w-cast LMR yesterday - not bad
Cait Sith Quickcast-3 LMR today - will likely never use

Finally did the II dreams yesterday. Kinda crazy how I went from sub-15 on the second difficulty to more than 40 seconds on the hardest difficulty, but I was never really in any kind of danger.

I unironically prefer disc 2.

The game has some of the worst dungeons I've ever seen in an rpg (sewers and the tower come to mind). Cutting down on them is a good thing.

I'm on such a ridiculous disco-streak. Only one 5* out of the first 7 realms. Watch me get all 5*s from now on.

Papa USB

It's no Alp AASB, or Ysh BUSB, but it's still one of the better relics in the XIV pool.

I got Aranea USB. Not great, but not awful. My XV team is lightning focused, so this improves her a bit.

Gaf Glint.

Jeez, I think I'd have preferred a dupe for the lenses.
---

Started with a dupe Queen USB.

Over or under 50% dupes? I'm gonna guess over.
---

Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK.

Ramza would be nice, but I have Prompto and Alphinaud. No way am I spending any mythril on a bunch of realm chains, or a minor chance at Ramza.
---

Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK.

250 mythril down the drain, and still no fucking Laguna chain. Sometimes I hate this game.

Complete haul:
2 Ulti En-dark LMR
1 Seifer dark w-cast LMR
1 Ulti dark w-cast
4 Seifer Glint
1 Ulti Glint
1 Seifer Chain (dupe)
2 Seifer AOSB
3 Laguna USB2
1 Ulti AASB

Not a bad haul, objectively, but dammit, I need that Laguna chain for my ice team.
---

Do you have Laguna SSB? If you don't, that's a budget option if you don't want to spend Lvl 3 lenses.
---

Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK.

I'm waiting for banner 2.

Laguna chain or bust.
---

Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK.

I actually have a reliable Syldra clear with Zack CSB and Bartz&Squall AASBs. I just haven't tried them against ice-weak Odin. Maybe I should attempt it one of these days; preferably before I blow all my mythril chasing Laguna CSB on VIII-2.

I want that damn Laguna chain, and that may be my last chance to grab it. JP just had a Laguna event and his chain wasn't even there.

I think the show is ok, but the fanbase it terrible, so I picked "no".
---

Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK.

Kimahri may not be an amazing character, but unless you already have 2 other water Awakenings, he is absolutely worth using.
---

Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK.

@eaedwards6400 I'd actually suggest the X set. While II and III are indeed all new relics, Firion and especially Luneth are unlikely to see use in any of your elemental teams.

Tidus USB and AOSB would be a major boon to your water team.

I second pulling on all elemental banners. And do that before picking a Full Throttle set. There's always a chance for something great, and you look like you could still benefit from a lot of relics.

Edit: You didn't ask, but I suggest picking up Bartz USB whenever you get 1000 Tier 3 lenses. That relic is so good.
---

Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK.

Ice
1/11 Ayame AOSB

Earth
2/11 Red USB2 (actually thought it was the chain, damn), Rinoa BUSB (dupe)

Holy
3/11 Ramza Glint, Edward BSB(dupe), Hope USB2

Dark
2/11 Seymour BSB(dupe), Emperor USB2

Lightning
3/11 Shantotto BSB, Edgar BXB, Lightning BUSB (all dupes)

Wind
2/11 Freya LMR, Marcus USB

I'll look at a relic list if I find one somewhere, but I don't think the water and fire pools have enough to convince me to pull.
---

Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK.

I actually did some more Odin attempts to see if I could skip a few other elemental banners.

I managed wins against Water-weak and Lightning-weak.

Water-weak
Bartz USB1+AASB
Rikku USB2+CSB
Tidus USB+BSB2+AOSB
Tyro USB3+USB4
Penelo USB2
RW Fabula Mage

This was the hardest one for me. With only one AASB, my dps was not as good as in other elements, although Tidus did respectable damage with his USB. AOSB was used in the final phase for 300,000 damage. Not sure why I went with Penelo over my other medicas, I guess it was just a leftover from my Phoenix team. I had to blow one shot of RW early to lower his savage level, because he got too fast and damaging otherwise. Since this Odin doesn't lower damage, the USB1 chase could actually break the 10,000 limit.

Lightning-weak
Prompto BSB+USB+CSB
Kain AASB+BUSB
Tyro USB1+USB3+USB4
Bartz USB2+AASB
Rosa USB2
Fabula Mage

I wanted Tyro USB1 for the early petrify. But this Odin also uses lots of non-piercing moves, so I wanted USB3 too, and Kain AASB screams for the USB4 crit buff. Having Wall and Astra up early enough was only possible by giving Prompto DMT and Tyro MM with Prompto entrusting to Tyro turn 1. Since Tyro is busy using his own SBs in the early parts, Rosa USB2 was the obvious healer choice. Kain started with BUSB to delay AASB a bit so it was still active in phase 3. Meanwhile Bartz LS'd to 4 bars, then used USB2 and AASB.

They'll probably drop after maintenance.

Will certainly pull: (missing chains)
Earth
Ice

Will probably pull: (have decent tech, but could use a little extra push for Odin or torments)
Lightning
Water
Holy
Dark

Will probably skip:
Wind (Odin is done, but the pool should have some great toys that I'd like to have)

Will certainly skip:
Fire (Odin is done, and I can't think of many relics here that would help me at all)
---

Got my second Odin kill: wind weak

Aerith, Bartz, Zidane, Tyro and Zack

Not sure where I want to go next. Maybe Lightning weak, with Bartz AASB, Kain AASB and a complete Prompto. I'll wait for the 6* Imperil Lightning ability, though.
