Is there any way to ensure you get at least two life orbs in the first round when starting a multiplayer match? Starting with only one guaranteed can be problematic, especially for three-star fights.

Some cards like Regalia give +1 starting life orbs. Some weapons have +3 prismatic starter and White Mage custom skill is 3 heart starter.

Could get and develop a weapon with Prismatic Starter. That should give you three rainbow orbs at the start.

Edit: Or see above.

Which weapons get prismatic starter? And which jobs do they go to? Dancer and white mage are my only support jobs at the moment.

Other than regalia, what other cards have starting life orbs?

I know Truescale Staff has it, but it needs something like 100 mods. I use Regalia and Lunafreya for starting orbs.

There was a typo, apparently. I only got 8 summon tickets.

40 crystals though, and the two 4* cards were Ares and Siegfried and they were maxed for 4*s

The zone only gives 8 summon tickets, but to make up for our collective disappointment at this terrible typo, everyone gets a summon ticket!

So, will this thing actually get me 2 extra starting actions in MP, or does it ignore a second identical buff?

The Reddit discord is still active. It's a shame this game doesn't get a lot of thread traffic. I think it's much better that Record Keeper and Exvius and I started day 1 on all three games.

I used to feel that way but at least exvius was up front about how lovely it was and then got better. Mobius' gacha just keeps getting worse and worse, both with event cards and job summons. I was so optimistic too, especially when they refunded people for the first FFRK collab cards.

For the second Anniversary, Mobius is getting a crossover with FF14. Ultima Weapon Multiplayer, FF14 Paladin legend job (Earth/Light/Dark warrior job, tanking with high BREAK, LB is Circle of Scorn) and a Y'shtola skin for mage jobs (auto-Haste/Faith, LB is that aether charge she does during the Heavensward storyline in Dravanian Hinterlands).

Are my 4* Ifrit materials going to last until the next mobius day? I already have a bunch of red jewels in anticipation and want to upgrade/augment all of my Ifrit sicarius cards as much as I can, and waiting until mobius day would save me a bunch of materials.

If they won't last that long, will they at least get converted to quartz at the proper 3-to-1 ratio, or will we get screwed and I should just upgrade them now?

The materials expire 7 days after your last run. Just make sure you do one run before Odin comes and they'll be ok until the 8th.

I have 16 jobs left in that pool, and today's Mobius box got me to 60 saved tickets. That leaves me 2 months to get as close to 36 tickets as I can since I'm also F2P.

At this point I'm bored of the game and have no idea why I still bother. Collect all the things!!! might be all I have.

Welp Ultima Weapon is way too powerful for Global in its current state. They literally copied it from JP without any of the power creep over the past year.

Mobius is rapidly losing its luster for me.

Yeah, that event is complete bullshit. The thing can't even be broken?! Why would you complete eliminate a primary aspect of the game with no warning?

I still haven't been able to beat 3* without dying to the final Ultima. I have fresh wall, barrier, full defensive stacks of every element, 11k HP on Devout with 6 defense stars and I still die. This is ridiculous.

So if anyone still looks at this thread, it looks like on the 26th and 27th of June if you login you get free summon tickets and also one free pull of the super legendary pack tier per day. Not sure if you get the 6 bonus summon tickets each day but it seems like the pull will happen on both days. Managed to get Legendary Pugilist from my pack.

Yeah I got a monk (legendary? Grappler, he has three elemental forms), who can use light/dark and Ranger, which would be great... except as far as I can tell the ability shop doesn't have aoe-mt light/dark monk abilities (or... really almost any monk abilities). Also no Lightstrike for ranger either :mad:

On my hyper summon, my 5* card was something called "Hollowfernyiges". Did one 4* card summon, and got another Hollowfernyiges. gently caress. So I had enough for one more, and what did I get? ANOTHER loving HOLLOWFERNYIGES. God drat! What are the odds. At least it could have been a useful attack and not a bog standard ranger area attack.

Had my dog roll twice for me. She got Titan FFXIV, Bismarck FFXIV, 4* Ice Fist, 4* Earth Taunt, and 4* Chariot. Bismarck is amazing and completely trivializes MP.

If anyone still has any interest in the game, the anniversary event is going on this month. Basically they're vomiting summon tickets at you and 30 days of free normal summons. They've tweaked the way magicite drops as well so the daily quest now gives you 30 for example. Plus there's a free greater summon including the new crap available from the 2nd to the 5th.

I might play past a cursory login if they are able to reduce the grind on cards and poo poo. I need a fuckton of crystals, more than I need summon tickets :\

That being said, I finally got occultist and last draw was Warrior. Finished the job summon...at least.

They're apparently making extra skills easier to unlock and fodder will drop at ability level 2 on Mobius days. I'm cautiously optimistic.
