The general point of "this is inconvenient and we should get additional free stuff for it" remains however.

So setting aside having to redo Jenova DEATH and Exdeath due to critical fails at reading boss scores, I'm down to like five remaining Elites. That's, like, "be done the next day I have to sit down and dungeon all day" territory. Scary stuff. WE have left...
-FFIII's Lake Dohr. Should be pretty manageable now that I have Meteor to balance out lacking FFIII synergy, just requires building around Drawtaliate to cover Leviathan's petrify shenanigans.
- FFIV's Lunar Subterrane 5. Probably the one I'm most worried about, because it's a fight that really wants full tilt trinity but I don't think Sahz can survive the opening fuck you. Nothing terribly valuable from this one though so maybe it can just sit and taunt me for a while, we'll see.
- FFV's Island Shrine. I'm informed Wendigo only has like 50k HP so knowing how to cheese the targetting makes it a non-issue. If I hadn't fucked up Exdeath I'd have probably cleared it in fact, but silly CK messed up a stamina refresh.
- FFV's Black Fork Tower. Been a while since I needed a mage party, probably one do to last since it'll require a completely specific party set.
- FFVI's Dreamscape 2. I should bloody well get this one done for the extra Mana Spring.

Hmm. It'll be weird for grindans to be the main thing to do all the days. Which will probably actually amount to "log in, run dungeon a couple times, set game down." Freaky.

I've been there for a long time.

Sure, but back then you always had another DU about two days away just when you caught up. We've got like a month now. It'll be strange to just see all those glowey blues sitting there uncontested.

Alternately: and that's how you had so much free time to tell everyone else to gitgud.

Speaking of which, Gordon buffs came too late for VSM.

My daily routine is log in, do daily draw, turn game off.

Did a 12-pull on the second banner, got Faris's Yoichi's Bow and the Shared SB Partisan.

With all my mitigation, Ultimate Necrophobe was... Kind of a joke. Even had time to throw the Dragon Gauntlet on Exdeath for the Fire damage requirement, at that.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1756 on:** February 19, 2016, 03:11:56 AM »

AoE and weakness-hitting completely obliterates Ultimate Necrophobe. I went full mage meta and blew him up.

Captain K · « **Reply #1757 on:** February 19, 2016, 04:17:50 AM »

3 pull on second banner got me another Al Bhed Jumper (X).

At least I got the combine an armor mission out of the way!

Went half and half against Necrophobe with Lenna, Krile, Exdeath, Bartz, Gilgamesh. All the 9999s.

Nephrite · « **Reply #1758 on:** February 19, 2016, 04:13:34 PM »

Flashing Blade or whatever it is is also pretty great for that fight.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1759 on:** February 19, 2016, 05:35:52 PM »

Yep. ITE + AoE will do that. The mult is finally something worth considering for a physical skill.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #1760 on:** February 19, 2016, 06:18:13 PM »

Ultimate Necrophobe was a joke. I found the 3 Pigs a more challenging fight because it abuses all of RK's annoying design quirks.

Set up for Ultimate Necrophobe:

Bartz: Rune Axe++, Genji Helm (FF6), Omega Badge, Fira Strike R3, Blizzara Strike R4, Attunement II
Exists to nail two weaknesses and can do so reasonably hard. Genji Helm for the added Res boost soul break insurance.

Faris: Aevis Killer, Edin's Coat, Vossler's Gauntlet, Magic Breakdown R4, Full Break R2, Dragoon's Determination
Stat buster, pretty straight forward, has an MT Soul Break to help in the first part if that lasts too long, also lowers his defenses in the 2nd half a bit while being reasonable damage.

Tyro: Darts+, Gaia Gear+ (FF6), Godo's Mask, Lifesiphon R4, Carbuncle R3, Dr. Mog's Teachings
As usual, his damage is not really meaningful (1300~ with Lifesiphon), pure utility. Opens with Carbuncle to shut down a large part of the first phase, Shield Grimoire afterwards, spam Lifesiphon so I can get SG's reused.

Yuna: Lullaby Rod, Priest's Miter, Yuna's Obi, Curaja R4, Shellga R2, Mako's Might
Healer, has Shellga because it helps a lot here, Priest's Miter for the death resistance, HotF for my MT Healing and Heavy Regen even helps with Reflect up. Uses Basic physicals mostly in first phase for gauge gaining since she can't heal. Amusingly, I did cast Curaja near the end of Carbuncle on Terra once, ended up healing him, which was enough to ruin a DRAMATIC SYLDRA FINISH!!!!! by Faris meaning Bartz had to finish him off with a generic Fira Strike, ruining the moment. Ah well...

Terra: Maduin's Horn, Minerva Bustier, Terra's Pendant, Thundaja R3, Meteor R2, Devotion
Exists to nuke the first phase with Meteor, Thundaja to hit the 3rd weakness in the 2nd half, with occasional Magitek Missile Soul Break (13-16k depending upon what Debuffs are up, so yeah, better than Thundaja which was just 9999) Minerva Bustier used because it's Magic is almost Armlet/Hat level but the defenses are substantially better.

RW: Oerba's Boon. I lacked Protectga, and it's extra healing during Carbuncle, so ideal fit here.

Weekend orbfest this weekend! And, as a preface to the shenanigans, today's daily dungeon yielded me two Major Orbs (a Dark and a Holy) and about ten Greaters evenly split over four runs. My body, it is ready (even though I'm likely not doing much if any in the way of refreshes due to having a very large supply of all orbs featured in this weekend).

Captain K · « **Reply #1762 on:** February 20, 2016, 04:17:11 AM »

I get so many Gigantaurs in the upgrade mat dungeons.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #1763 on:** February 20, 2016, 12:47:16 PM »

Finished the first runs of each dungeon, now to only touch the highest level Wind/Lightning/White Orb dungeon!

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1764 on:** February 20, 2016, 01:17:41 PM »

Grind, grind, grind your cores, gently down the event/Merrily, merrily, merrily, RMs are but a dream

On less useless news, farmed Samurai's second RM. Only Gladiator and Viking left (okay, and Josef's, but I'm never farming -that- one at this point).

Meeplelard · « **Reply #1765 on:** February 20, 2016, 06:26:51 PM »

Isn't Josef's RM only good if you're abusing Retaliate Meta anyway? That was the impression I got since 1.2x damage spread over hits doesn't seem useful for really anything other than being an extra person alongside Tempo Flurry and Double Cut.

ON THE PLUS SIDE: Got the Level 65+ RMs for Terra, Rinoa, Tidus and Squall recently. Working on getting D. Cecil and Lenna to 65 so I can start working on those.

Captain K · « **Reply #1766 on:** February 22, 2016, 02:28:05 AM »

Made R3 Holy. Because I can.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1767 on:** February 22, 2016, 11:22:09 AM »

Strolling through Jecht's event now. Hard to believe we're nearing the anniversary.

Magic Fanatic · « **Reply #1768 on:** February 24, 2016, 02:04:37 AM »

So I just got an announcement on the FF Portal about there being a free 5* weapon for Tyro and a raffle for anywhere between 5-100 Mithril for players.

...And it starts tomorrow and goes a bit into March. This also includes a new festival dungeon and a few other goodies.

EDIT: Not the anniversary, but a 10 Million Downloads celebration.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1769 on:** February 24, 2016, 12:41:47 PM »

Guys. Guys. We're gonna have the summon poll like JP did. Anniversary's gaining traction.

Cotigo · « **Reply #1770 on:** February 24, 2016, 02:41:53 PM »

*Votes for Orthros just to make everyone deal with the spelling.*

Did up to the Ultimate fight in the Faris/Lenna event, holding off on Ultimate until I get mythril to do the pull on Faris' Banner, since that's gonna determine a bit of my setup for Melusine.

The 6* Celerity abyss reopened, and now that I'm caught up on dungeons and don't really need to farm all day everyday to just have a decent skillset, I've cleared through all my backlog in the abyss. Pretty standard Fare. Barthandantalus (Support 160 difficulty boss) was some RNG bullshit at the start. I can see why you guys were bitching about U Barty last month.

Other than that, nothing noteworthy. The Celerity bosses seemed to all be gameplay-thematically linked this time instead of a somewhat related but mostly haphazard mix of bosses. They're all multiple-target boss fights with high speed enemies... which works, though the multi-target aspect is a bit weird since Celerity is not the skillset I think of when I am up against multiple enemies at once.

Not pulling on the Nightmare Lucky Draw?

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #1772 on:** February 24, 2016, 06:37:31 PM »

Saw this at SA, thought of Captain K:

Cotigo · « **Reply #1773 on:** February 24, 2016, 10:56:07 PM »

Snow: The draw will go on longer than the FF5 event banners, and I'll have another 25 mythril for that in a hot second. Besides, after realizing that I've gotten nothing but VALIANT and MASAMUNE from these draws, my most out-dated weapons, my boner for the Lucky Draws is pretty dang limp.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Minwu's shitty Cancel SB. Yawn.
