Two dungeons left on this DU. I ran Lulu RW/SSII/Shellga/Heathen Frolic/endless waves of AoE damage for Wendigo, with stellar results. Frost Blasts were hitting for about 100 a pop.

Just doing random Elites myself. I have only 138 Stamina to give you an idea how much I left. Doing the FF5 ones because I have plenty of those and I'll be using this team for the next event that drops tonight anyway.

Finished DU18, I think. Kind of lost track so I may be missing something. Will do Exdeath event before I start on anything else.

Two dungeons left on Exdeath's event. Apparently, trees can't wear hats.

Goddamn, after seeing Grand Cross as a RW I'm tempted to blow 50 mythril on the banner even knowing it'll certainly end in tears.

Cotigo · « **Reply #1730 on:** February 17, 2016, 12:20:08 AM »

Eh, I wouldn't. It's neat looking but XDeath still doesn't have an MC2, and in practice absorbing spell charges ends up being not very useful, especially on someone who can't use Magic Lure.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1731 on:** February 17, 2016, 03:55:24 AM »

Yeah, I'd just wait on Celes' SSB instead.

EDIT: All Runic effects have an automatic Magic Lure built in, however, so lacking Knight isn't really relevant.

Magic Fanatic · « **Reply #1732 on:** February 17, 2016, 04:52:32 AM »

Well, I got Exdeath's Moore Rod myself, so I'm waiting until he masters the SB before I stuff him full of Growth Eggs.

Cotigo · « **Reply #1733 on:** February 17, 2016, 06:28:03 AM »

Oh, really? Yeah OK that makes GC a lot more alluring.

Get it? Getit???

Celes's SSB is still better and the banner also has Terra's SSB reissued. Still, that's a couple months away. The real reason you should save your Mythril is cuz you've got the FFT banner coming up.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #1734 on:** February 17, 2016, 06:37:13 AM »

FFT banner, the only banner worth whaling on.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1735 on:** February 17, 2016, 12:58:25 PM »

FFT and SSB celebrations -both- coming up. It'll be a strenuous month.

hear i fix 4 u

EDIT: Just hit 50 mythril again, and debating myself on whether to pull on Rinoa's BSSB banner, less because of the BSSB (although a mage BSSB would be lovely), but because Quistis' Hastega + 3 Turns of low-charge actions is kinda nuts and actually on a FF8 character I don't mind. Laguna's gun's there, too, with an Ice damage SSB that imparts Ice Weakness to the enemy after use, and I could use a gun that isn't Valiant. The non-SSB options all seem pretty lackluster though.

On the other hand, while the non-Selphie SSBs are comparatively lackluster on Banner 2, basically every 5* there except Squall's Jacket would be fun to play with. While Irvine's Dark Shot looks like it has a more only situationally useful SSB, Irvine is a character I could justify slotting more easily as well. Hmmm.

Regardless, my 8 synergy is really hopeless, and JP just released an apparently-hard version of Ifrit for Dive Record orbs that I could probably get the use-FF8-characters-only quest reward for if I beef up my 8 synergy and go through my supply of Growth Eggs. So, I'll probably pull on one of these. Maybe do a Cult of 3 pull on each and then an extra CO3 pull on the other?

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1737 on:** February 17, 2016, 02:04:31 PM »

Banner 1 definitely looks more appealing out of those two, though a point in 2's favor is that Seifer actually looks halfway appealing as a Knight with Darkness and double cap-breaking. So, his SSB certainly wouldn't hurt either. In the end, it depends on what you want to prop up more: magic, banner 1. Physicals, banner 2.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #1738 on:** February 17, 2016, 05:19:24 PM »

Honestly I don't plan to pull more than the 100 gems on the SSB fest banners; none of the new SBs look amazing. We'll probably know tomorrow morning what's actually on them, so maybe some of the total packages will be great, but I doubt any'll be as nice as FFT.

Mind, my only SSB is Tidus's which.... Has problems, both in that water resist is annoyingly common (at least in FFX) and Tidus himself pretty bad at base without the SSB boost; he keeps not being optimal. So another SSB would be nice but... Not worth whaling unless one of these banners gets all the good stuff.

Captain K · « **Reply #1739 on:** February 18, 2016, 02:15:24 AM »

Continuing my run of bad luck, got a 4-star from the Daily Draw.

Cotigo · « **Reply #1740 on:** February 18, 2016, 09:19:59 AM »

Yeah, I settled on Banner 1 and then looked at the FF5 event coming up and saw Faris had a BSSB. I really don't need more FF5 synergy but fuck it, FF5 is a better game than FF8. I'll probably do 3 pulls on each FF8 banner then save up Mythril for an 11 pull on the Faris BSSB banner.

Also, hey! Given the pattern of recent events having Missions where you have to beat the U/U+ bosses with an all-RS team, I may actually be able to do this one! Gilgy/Bartz/Faris are all L80, Lenna is L65 (and healers can get away with that), and I'd just have to pump up one of ExDeath, Krile, or Galuf to L70+ to make them usable. Galuf's higher level, but Krile would be more useful probably.

Speaking of, super in the future but y'all may wanna start making sure you have decent all-realm synergy parties if you wanna try for those. FFX's offered nothing special, but I think from FF7 onward they started offering Record Dive rewards.

Anyway, I proudly didn't play this morning then used up my stamina going through the FF8 event. L65 Squall/Selphie, L55 Seifer, and L35 Quistis/Irvine actually did better than I expected and beat the Elite+ Boss without much trouble. Couldn't get them past Ultima weapon, but oh well.

Shale · « **Reply #1741 on:** February 18, 2016, 02:33:47 PM »

A wild FUNCTIONAL QUEST SYSTEM appeared!

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1742 on:** February 18, 2016, 03:00:18 PM »

They also translated WoL's throwaway accessory event and added all events up to Vincent's to the database. Yes, this includes FFT. Don't expect translations until March 14, though.

Scar · « **Reply #1743 on:** February 18, 2016, 06:25:31 PM »

Terras daddy mastered.

Still waiting for the crazy ssb and ssssb events to start. Fft needs to hurry up already.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1744 on:** February 18, 2016, 07:10:31 PM »

Also, if anyone's interested, Bartz finally got his long due Combat 5 upgrade.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #1745 on:** February 18, 2016, 08:06:38 PM »

If only DeNA hadn't decided to gum up the works and keep the Hall of Rites an anniversary thing. Not like it gunks up other mechanical changes and difficulty spike that more L80 characters would be really nice against.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1746 on:** February 18, 2016, 08:16:04 PM »

It'll be pretty awkward with Cloud's AC event. "Hey, get these nifty items there's no mechanic to use with yet!".

Nephrite · « **Reply #1747 on:** February 18, 2016, 08:18:15 PM »

Or, even worse, if we get the Nightmare/Abyss dungeon and we can't get certain black mages to a higher level because their MC2 doesn't exist!

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #1748 on:** February 18, 2016, 08:34:53 PM »

If we're lucky, they replace the Crystals and Lodes in the AC event with Mythril or something, then just have a lump gift of those items when Abyss and Hall of Rites do open for everyone, but I don't think DeNA has their shit together enough to do something like that.

Well, no. If we were LUCKY they'd just add the Hall of Rites tonight and go "SURPRISE" but I got the impression the launch date for it was in the datamine from the update.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1749 on:** February 18, 2016, 08:36:12 PM »

Those MC2s were released alongside the Hall of Rites in JP anyway, don't expect that to change at all. IIRC, Hall of Rites and Nightmare were both slated for late March in the game data.
