got a couple cooldown weeks after niermania
---

expeditions and enhancements are draining money, yeah.

dual A2 + Tilith + Rikku + Ace made the "quick route" of Aigaion take roughly 40 minutes until the body died. so i should have a 1000+ attack A2 soon.
---

Yeah...

Expeditions
Leveling Units from all the Cactuars I am getting
Enhancements (Soleil, Ace, Elza, etc...)
Crafting

I don't understand how people have banked SO MUCH gil to be quite honest. Most I've ever had on me at any given point was probably around 7 million before Enhancements came out. Expeditions and leveling alone consume a ton of gil. I have about 30 max 6* units and a bunch of other things that I've leveled up as well into the 5* ranges.

I never expect it to go so fast, and I never really recoup it back either.


Plus it doesn't help that I get WAY more Cactuar and Trust Moogles than I do Gil Snappers from Raid Summons, and when I do get Gil Snappers in a 10k pull, I maybe get 1 Gil Snapper Family every 20k pulled.
---

yeah I dunno, I've got around 22 million in the bank, and that's after spending like 4 million to enhance randi last week. I'm sure natwaf has infinitely more.
---

Being Free to Play might also have something to do with it since I'm not getting any refreshes for Raid Orbs or Energy, but it could just be bad RNG for me not getting all that many Snappers too.
---

I did make a lot off the moogle raid because I ended up selling a lot of my raid coins because the raid banner was garbo
---

Ah, I don't sell Raid Coins. Are they worth a lot more than selling excess raid rewards?
---

They used to be, but generally that's not the case anymore. Gumi wised up and made them only sell for 1g a piece. The Moogle raid was a recent exception and they were worth 50g, so a stack of 9,999 was worth half a million gil. I think that was better value than the mini cactuars and mini turtles that raid was dishing out.
---

I peaked at around 12 million but I never actually ran Cactuar Dunes until the last time. All my GP was just from playing the game and selling a bunch of candy from that Halloween candy event a year ago. Enhancements + expeditions made my GP reserves tank pretty rapidly though.
---

Reminder to not ignore getting the magical gun from the story event in case of accidental pulling of Light Veritas at some point. (Plus Hope's TMR.)
---

Actually I no longer have infinite Gil

I'm down to 8 million after all the Ability Awakenings I did

That said, Expeditions never hit my coffers much
---

Also not gonna bother with Malboro until there's no more time sensitive events

Which is probably never
---

Congrats! A2 is so powerful it's absurd (just don't say that to Cheapshot!)
---

I'm cool with no raids or mog king events as a breather.
---

Tried Malboro ADV and PRO anyway

... man PRO isn't fun at all. Skipping ELT. I've got nobody that can use Malboro crap anyway

For the record my 5 man party was WoL, Tidus, Tilith, Rikku, and friend A2 with the pod thingy
---

So...
I can live without 9s's Tm, right?
---

finally shuffled around my gear and am rolling with 2B, A2 and Randi instead of those lame-ass Orlandeaus.

ya go my limited unit team
---

I love rolling with my limited unit team, of five 9Ses

It will be more difficult at times when that on-demand physical mitigation isn't there when you need it, but not impossible.

10-man trials however you need to do some more work with.

the salt
it burns
---

You still got the Mechanical Heart, right?

bleh

I mean, Rikku and EV can get me my mitigation down if need be, but yea, that on-demand mitigation would be ideal.

Sadly, like the SoM banner, only 21O seems to want me D:

and Heart is almost there.
---

How are 10 man Trials going to work? What does that even look like?
---

So... should I poach gear from Orlandeau to make my A2 a beast?

Right now, my Orlandeau is pretty standard.
R- Excalibur
L- Genji Blade
H- Black Cowl
C- Demon Mail
A- Ifrit Claw
A- Cold Snap

1- Dual Wield
2- Blade Mastery
3- Large Sword Mastery
4- ATK +30%

Esper - Odin

Stats:
HP - 5655
MP - 246
ATK- 952
DEF- 269
MAG- 186
SPR- 185


I do have Beastlord, but Excalibur was needed for Chaining. Genji Blade is better attack, but I have Cruel Oath as well, but I will have Virtuous Contract in 2 more Moogles. I use Cold Snap, but could also use my only Ruler Ring and get the same attack but boosts in a few other areas, I just have the Ring on someone else right now.

I only have the one copy of Blade Mastery and Large Sword Mastery, and I don't have any other Mastery materia yet, so I can't reach similar attack levels without poaching the skills.



Without poaching from Orlandeau, the best I can reach is 642 Attack on my A2.

Pretty much, the idea is being able to use two teams, one active at a time.
only other difference is that you can't have copies of the same character... which means that characters that can only chain with themselves( ala Freyvja) are impacted significantly.
---

you don't need to strip him of everything and he can still be respectable. A2 does not work well with Genji Blade, none of her boosts come from katana, Beastlord gives you the biggest bonus already, and it's the strongest weapon.

30% ATK / 20% DEF with a sword
50% ATK with a large sword
30% ATK / 20% SPR with a lance
30% ATK/HP with a fist

Beastlord + Aigaion Arm is the standard set to have her break 1000 ATK with ease. a sword, lance, or fist are what you need in the second slot. she doesn't need the Dual Wield TMR either. she does eat up the Large Sword Mastery and might eat the ATK +30% though. ditto for the armor/helm/accessories.

if you don't have Aigaion Arm and are satisfied with your A2's LB status/just auto-ran her to 6*, i recommend you get it. two A2 + Rikku can run that trial pretty fast and are the only truly essential pieces. if you don't care for World Destroyer on your first run (no magic, meaning no Libra and no Curaga/ja) it's even easier. you get Martial Arts Mastery + Aigaion Arm from it and that promptly gives you another +80% ATK +30% HP.
---

Will have the 2nd virtuous contract done soon.

I noticed not many of my friend 2bs run that katana, is there another unit that needs it more or something?
---

Well I still haven't made it so

Also maintenance imminent
---

Goddammit

1 Arena Orb wasted and didn't manage to finish the last Raid fight
---

Game's up if anyone didn't realize

Also I had no idea the Malboro Trial had an EXP bug! Not that the Trial is as easy as the Dark Espers and can be used to level up people but...
---

And the last daily for the Nier banner is...

Zidane

That would be my third, which means I probably don't have to worry about making two Aqua Blades. 'Course this probably means I'll be yet again putting trust moogles into DW instead of some of my other projects, but I think that's okay.
---

Xon

That's me done, don't wanna spend money after 200 pulls.
---

They banned all of the fake Dyers. One of them was a guy from the FFBE board. Some kind of glitch that let you keep collecting tickets (he had over 7,500). They're still letting Dyer buy third party lapis though!

It was on adv by exploiting the revival of the boss.

the One True King reclaims his throne
---

I bought lapis for one last 10 pull.
Only banner unit was 21O.

Hopefully my last ticket will be merciful, though I doubt it.
---

Final daily is Edge

Not just any Edge

3rd ****ing Edge in a row.

... as far as I can recall.

Also I keep getting Holy instead of Sacred Crystals from the Maze and it vexes me.
---

Tim's LB fully maxed. Charlotte awakened for fattening.

Don't forget at least one Hayate if you want the -50% encounter, folks.

Working on builds.

Still need 1x Champion's Belt, 1x Sword Six's Pride - Dark and 1x Emperor's Majesty for this. Need to draw another Snow and a Dark Veritas.

Less sure about what I want to do with 2B and Randi.
---

I've got a 962 Tidus hanging around and that's probably the best I can do with what I have.

Maybe slap a Black Cowl on him but that's it.
---

Grom, voltch's darling, is a few banners away for that electric large sword, so you can attach that to either of the fembots. :D
---

I'm not gonna pull on that banner.

Because I will get that sword anyway when pulling like crazy for my next set of waifus.

Still mad aranea is bad and not worth pulling for.

2B wasn't a gamechanger like A2 but she's still solid as hell
---

2B is v. good for bridging the frame gap between successive hits of two A2's doing Offensive Heal Combo.
---

So I've been telling numbers, to never give up, as I got Elza on the last draw of the banner way back in the day... sure enough, like clockwork, the VERY LAST DRAW I was going to make on this banner was a rainbow.



... oh.

I feel your pain, numbers. Well, like, 1/3 of it, anyway.

On the plus side I kinda think I'd rather have her than 2B because of better utility and TM. Shame I didn't get A2 though.
---

My wifes last 4 dailies: Galuf, Sazh, Galuf, Sazh.
---

Yahoo!
---

Marie is outstanding, especially now. That's a great pull!
---

Well she'll be useful for killing Malboro at least whenever I get around to doing any of those things but she's not exactly exciting as X-Death can't wear that godly robe. I can give Tilith the robe at least though.

I can't complain too much though. Beats a 210. And as said probably beats a 2B too as I really only wanted A2.
---

I see the wiki finally did their big unit ranking update. A2, Fry, Orlandeau, and Dark Veritas in the top tier, surprising no one.
---

... Blargh.

Wouldn't put it past them. ~_~

Prediction!


FFXV Kingsglaive might be the next King Mog, for better or for worse. (Crowe(30% hp/spr, Glauca.(125 ATK Dark Element Greatsword))
