Any tips for Garula with only thieves? I have all my party members equipped with Mythril Knives and the best armor I could buy, but I just can't whittle his HP down in time before he starts Rush'ing me to death. I'm at Level 14, do I just need to grind for a while?

99 Potions, have everyone in the back row and only have one person attack. It will take forever but once he starts countering you, if you try to rush him down you will get annihilated. Basically the same strategy as white Mage but you don't get protect, cure, the flail or the heal staff. So much more of a pain.

That... almost seems harder than NED as necrophobe kinda starts out in "panic mode" what with getting 4x end-game spell casts per turn and having five targets for the zerkers (one of which takes no damage). I look forward to hearing of his victory soon!

What level is he?

Honestly, if he's strong enough, he can probably oneshot barriers, so it's not that bad I think?

Wow, 13 after two days. Meanwhile I'm in the Steamship because work's been dragging me down. Time to remedy that after I update Zerky!'s adventures.

I'm seeing everyone saying bard is good but I'm having some troubles as mine is somewhat useless, I'm in the Ronkan ruins right now my team is Zerk/RedMage/Zerk/Bard

The Zerks are strong enough for now and hit hard with their death sickles, My RM has pretty much been acting as a white mage for the most part keeping me alive I have romeo's ballad, alluring air, and mighty march and have played all world 1 Pianos.

Any suggestions on my bard pulling a little more weight?

Everything in the Ronka Ruins (and almost everything in the entire game) is vulnerable to Stop. Once you have Romeo's Ballad, you never need to heal again outside of boss fights because nothing will ever be able to attack you.

Level 65. He was doing about 3k damage with Thor's Hammer, 5.5k with Sword Dances, and around 2k with the Thief's Knife/Assassin's Dagger.

That's not too horrible. 3HKOs.

I'm about to hit up World 3 but I noticed I missed ton of poo poo (angel rings / fire rings / reflect rings). I have a feeling I missed some other stuff, too. I did manage to get my Death Sickles, Hayate & Killer Bow, and Heal Staff, but missed the Rune Sword.

Any tips for a Red Mage / Ranger / 2x Berserker party? Especially for gear/skill combinations when it comes to World 3.

!Red on one Berserker (give them the Rune Axe), Equip Bows on the other (give them Yoichi's Bow or an Artemis Bow). Ranger with Dual Wield and the Chicken Knife, Red Mage with whatever, ideally Dualcast but I can understand if you don't want to grind it.

Make sure you get the Mirage Vest by doing the circumnavigation, and consider stealing a second from the imp assholes in Solitary Island Shrine.

My first FFV playthrough is going alright. Starting with WHM was a grind getting level 12 so I could survive Magissa's Drain (I wish I knew I could silence...), and having 3 berserkers on Liquid Flame meant I had to hope they missed sometimes. Now I get a beastmaster and it's time to push onward.

Still nothing for a Fire job.

I tweeted last night and I've gotten nothing, even on my player page.

Has anyone had issues with getting a new job while their donation for a different class was pending?


EDIT: This is punishment for the hubris of starting with Knight and donating for Mystic Knight, isn't it? :negative: I flew too close to the sun, and Gilgabot is displeased.

FFV is one of my favourites, and I've been wanting to replay it for some time. Doing a natural run and so far gotten by with the thief and Red Mage, which isn't too shabby. So far the run is going smooth but I'm sure gilgabot will find a way to completely ruin my team yet. :ohdear:

That's my situation too. Grind out level 12 after you get out of the shipwrecks and you should be fine until water. Garula is a slog though.

There's no need to grind to level 12 to beat Garula with 4 White Mages.

12 makes it so you can completely ignore drain on Magissa. We don't all know every trigger of every ability on every boss :(

Well, Ifrit and Byblos went down way too easily, despite Ifrit getting a back attack.

Ifrit couldn't out-damage 3 people capable of using Cura and was a simple matter of waiting for Galuf (My Berserker) to finish him off. Byblos fell to 2 Flame Scrolls (Ninja Bartz with White Lvl.3 got almost 1,600 damage per scroll) and several physicals.

Since I'm about to get the Black Chocobo, is there anything I should get before progressing the plot? I've got White Mage, Berserker and Ninja for my 3 jobs.
