By default, Dualcast lets you cast Red Magic twice. If you have another magic skill equipped, you can Dualcast all of that magic in addition to Red3. This applies to Black, White, Time, Summon, and Sword Magic (oddly enough), as sadly Blue Magic can’t be Dualcast. So the ideal situation is to give Dualcast to another magic job like Black Mage or Time Mage, or give it to a Mime with something like Time6 and White6.

DalaranJ posted:Can you dualcast any spells the character knows, or do they need to be red? !Red 3 comes for free (so White 3 and Black 3), but otherwise you need the magic skill equipped. Also you can't !Dualcast !Blue, because Blue Mages don't need any more help anyway.

I started my run toward the beginning of the Fiesta but I forgot about it. Whoops! Gonna try to rush through this before the end of the month. First job was White Mage. I am glad I found that flail, slowly pinging things was not fun! Just got my second job and it's Berserker. This is my first time through FF5 but I think this should be workable. Are there any jobs out of the next crystal that I should look to immediately replace if I roll those in combination with WMage/Zerk?

With that party all the fire jobs are just a matter of how much you're going to have to put up with zerk as your offense. Sandworm is going to suck regardless.

Run 6 - Chaos No750 - Monk, Monk, Samurai, Mystic Knight - Complete! I think this will end up being my final run of the summer. Got extremely distracted by real life and blew through the end of this one with just stupid powerlevels. Not interested in taking on either Shin or Omega with this group as it would be a whole lot of unfun nonsense! Third summer in a row without a summoner, but at least it was my second summer in a row without a red mage.

Ranger is crazy good if you grind it out so you're overall in a really good position for a first time. I suggest looking at http://enkibot.herokuapp.com/ for advice, it's great for not missing essential things for a specific party. The most important thing is to get deathsickles though because they are rad.

White is especially handy since it also lets you use them as an out of combat healbot and conserve resources.

Final Fantasy 5 Four Job Fiesta 2019, Run 8, Chaos: Blue Mage / Mystic Knight / Time Mage / Beastmaster This run started off with a good omen: I was actually assigned Time Mage (without having to Job Fair for it) for the first time in SIX YEARS that I've been doing the Fiesta. It took 45 drat runs to actually be given Time Magic instead of asking for it specifically, but it finally happened. Ironically I had to JF the other three classes away (originally assigned Zerk/Chemist/Dancer in those slots). So it goes! This was another team I had some fun with, very solid all around and I can't recall a single boss giving me much difficulty. This group had a solution for pretty much everything. Anyway, that's all I'm down for this year, actually one better than my usual total of 7. I mostly did this one to get this: ultrafilter posted:time. Run 1 (Advance Zerk Risk): White Mage, Zerk, and Samurai Run 2 (Chaos): Thief and Chemist Run 3 (Pure Chaos): Knight, Red Mage, and Dragoon Run 5 (Chaos): Bard, Ninja, and Black Mage Run 6 (Random): Monk, Summoner, Dancer, and Geomancer (donated $8 to get the first three) Run 7 (Popular): Ranger (donated $5) Run 8 (Chaos): Blue Mage, Mystic Knight, Time Mage, Beastmaster (donated $10 to get all but Time Mage) All 20 regular jobs, $23 in total donated for Fairs. Fun times! And with that, I'm out for the season. See y'all next year!

Oh, and while I'm thinking of toxxes, I need to discuss mineBufuman posted:
I haven't exactly been keeping a keen eye out, so here's who I have so far, if you've had duplicate jobs and aren't on this list, let me know. I'll probably comb through the thread sometime before donations are due just in case. Myself (two Chemists) Archenteron (QUADZERKS! $10 additional donation) apophenium (two Mystic Knights) ssmagus (two Ninjas) Nasgate (two Thieves) jaclynhyde (QUADZERKS!) Kheldarn (two Samurais) Poque (four Black Mages) Either way not as many people on it as I would've thought. I guess these kinds of things are best thought up first rather than later. But I actually have a good idea for one next year, so hopefully that'll turn out better. Bufuman fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Aug 19, 2019 |

Oh yeah, I didn't even think about the magic boost since I usually just underflow with Thornlet (SNES only thing but it's cool) but yeah, that's a neat bonus. I was just thinking that Zerker's biggest problem is they can't heal and WM biggest problem is they can't hurt so they complement each other pretty darn well.

ultrafilter posted:time. Done! My total job fair cost was $27 ($3 Red/Mon for #4, $9 Mys/Sam for #5, $10 Thf/Dan/Brd/Tim for #6, and $5 Chm for #7). I also hit Mime and Freelancer, with a detour for Quadzerking; I used RNG to select which job I was switching out for repeats. The worst run was Kni/Ran/Nin/Geo, because there was no synergy and taking the Brave Blade meant I missed some of the most useful abilities. The other runs were all pretty fun, with Brd/Sam/Drg/Chm making for the most hilarious NED. I also got three triple crowns (one of which I screwed up submitting the victory, whoops) and one double crown on quadzerk. It was great and I'm happy to stop playing for a while!

Onwards! If by "not that bad" you mean "I'm going to steamroll everything from here on out", then yes, you've got it not that bad. In the pyramid, you're going to find a weapon called the Gaia Hammer. Give that, Hermes Sandals and maxed out White Magic to your Berserker. Then during the first phase of the final boss fight, have your Chemist hit them with Elemental Power, Dragon's Kiss, and enough Dragon Power to get them up to level 255. Have your White Mage hit them with Blink, Protect and Shell. You'll then have an absolutely unstoppable engine of destruction that can pretty much solo the rest of the fight.

In a standard playthrough the big ones you'll be using are Potion+Phoenix Down, Turtle Shell+Maiden's Kiss, and Antidote+Holy Water. There are certain fights where the defensive mixes are good and a handful of fights you'd want a Death Potion for, but for the most part, treat !Mix as "full revive, superdrain, levelbuff".

Speaking of Chemist, I have one again this year but I've been kinda stonewalled by Omega because I have the perfect way to permalock him into not moving, but I'm not sure how I can really whittle him down in a way that won't take forever. I've got Ninja/Bard/Chemist/Beastmaster. Are there any good ways to do actual high damage to Omega with this setup (with three characters dedicated to calm/song locking him) that aren't just an incredibly long run of Succubus Kiss spam? I know I can do Shinryu without much issue with this team but if there is a simpler way to do Omega that won't take me not messing up the calm/song cycle for like 40+ minutes I'd appreciate the advice. My Ninja, Beastmaster and Bard are the ones who have the way to stunlock him forever currently for the record.

Didn't someone come up with some nutty way to Magic Sword the basic Thunder spell by mixing something with nothing? Give that to your Ninja and you'll probably have semi-decent damage output.

Yeah, a Lightning Scroll with Elemental Power mix from your Bard will do 8 * (120 * 1.5 * 2) = 2880 damage. E: And if you go through the effort to get a Staff of Judgement (rare steal from Istory Lythos in world 3) you can have your Chemist use it to dispel Omega's innate Shell and hit for 17 * (120 * 1.5 * 2) = 6120 damage.

Thanks for the advice on those scrolls guys, it took a good while but with some boosting I locked Omega in place and threw scrolls at him until he sploded. Using my bard definitely saved me a lot of time with that as well I'm sure. This is my first year actually getting a triple crown on a run, glad I finally sat down to finish it off.

Howdy folks. Kinda fell off my own playthrough over the summer, but I've been keeping up with the thread, tracking any takers for my berserker drive. Unless I missed somebody, the current list is as follows:
I'll be making my donation on the 29th (I can never remember if the fiesta ends on the 30th or after the 30th), so that's three days left for anyone masochistic enough to try and win a bit more of my money.
