I've been amassing my lapis so far, do I do an 11 pull for 5k or do I wait for special events for pulling? How does that work here?

Unless you somehow managed to pull a completely garbage team, I'd wait for an event. With 3* Kain, 4* Kuja, and Rain/Laswell/Fina I easily blew through all of the content on the backs of friends. If you get a couple of max level Exdeaths on your list there really isn't any reason to try to gamble on sub-1% top tier rolls with lapis you've saved (I'm assuming that you're past the point of rerolling).

At this point I'm just going to grind up who I have and save my tickets for a better shot at S-tier units, Lightning, etc.

Much like buttholes, families are meant to be tight.
You get a lot of lapis throughout the story so I'd save up to 5k for the 11 pull when there's a rate up or something special, but then use everything above 5k for utility as needed.

Again a very likpatous story
I'm really tempted to spend my Lapis getting those 30 chest keys, those locked chests are taunting me.

I googled around a bit but I couldn't find anything so I'll ask here. Is there a quick and easy list of quests available somewhere? Kongbakpao has all the quests listed, but only by going to each individual town page. I was hoping to find one that's got them all on one single list (and also has the actual English names).

Exviuswiki has you covered. Kongbakpao is trash, as they always are.

:same: about the chest keys, though... even if I know the stuff is mostly low-tier recipes, my completionism :qq: Also?

For the silver chests I feel like the only useful ones are the silence blade from the first island and the muscle belt recipe and bar-ra recipes on the second island. All of these are situational though and I have yet to open any silver chests. You can probably grind up materials for the keys if you wanted too though. The fine alcryst seems to be about a 20-25% chance when crafting an ability and the screamroots can be found from rare mobs in explorations and I have gotten two from trust rewards somewhere on the second island. I forget exactly what maps they came from but I think there was a thread on reddit about it. I wouldn't rely on finding the rare mob, minitaur, since I have only seen one and that dropped a star quartz.

"X" possesses great risks as well as great possibilities.
Should I focus on leveling one character high for awakening or should I level up everyone equally? I'm getting really antsy I want to awaken my 3* Exdeath so he's not hot garbage.

Okay, finally done rerolling. I said "I want to get Exdeath and Cecil or Bartz and I'll call it good," so here's my final final final setup here, six summon tickets left:

4* Vaan, Maria, Shadow
3* Cecil, Exdeath, Bartz, Dumb Mystic Knight Guy

Level up Exdeath first, right? Do leader skills exist like they did in Brave Frontier? If so, where, and does it particularly matter to ya'll who I put up as my leader?

As a rule an even team is best I think, but exdeath is a bit of an outlier because he can 1HKO 3/4th of the game and trivialize the rest at 5* so maxing him ASAP would be nice. To level him quickly though you'll either need a team to breeze through explorations/ADV xp dungeon or a solid friend list full of carries. Depends on who you're friends with I guess?

Get Ifrit and Shiva if you haven't, finish all the quests you can, hunt down earth keys, go for trophies so you can craft Hero's Rings, grind the coliseum and start stocking up awakening mats.

e: Spam 1 energy maps to build trust for those 100% trust rewards but drat that sounds painful.

Check your units because you should have whatever that pull was going to give you since games give out rewards as soon as the transaction occurs (tapping the screen is 100% for show).

The bonus FP gain and extra FP summons should start tomorrow. If you've been stocking your FP like most of us have (I have 44000 points) you should spam it all tomorrow to get some free Cactaurs. They give a ton of EXP. The Gil turtles are pretty lovely but whatever.

Out of 3* Rain, Laswell, Fina, and Kain and 4* Kuja, who's a good one to awaken next? Of the starters I think Laswell is the one I want to get going first, and I anticipate replacing Kain and Kuja soonish, I hope. Although, Kain's a good attacker with a 5* coming and a good TM reward, and Kuja with Graviga will make clearing most fights easy, so I can make a case for them as well.

I'd do Kuja for Graviga since that will be useful for a long time in the arena.


I fixed my Nox script by just opening it in notepad and deleting the last digit off the longest string, which was a ms timer. Now it runs at ~10x the speed as before by default.

I did a test run with my CoD where my ally just blocked. I started running out of health on the third round. The big problem is she can't one shot anything. So with a decent character you should be able to solo with her.


Hopefully by the end of the day I'll have the werebuster and tomorrow a bunch of exp for my CoD.

S5 INT boss down finally :toot:

Exdeath had the ICe Rod on so once he was totally out of MP he couldn't do anything since his melee attack was ice and thus resisted(which also means no LB crystals apparently). Fina entrusted him a few times so I ended up using his LB 4 times, 3 of them paralyzed the boss. Even with all that help it was down to the wire with Xiao using her LB, for the 3rd time in the fight, to finish the boss.

Hitting its weakness with Firaga and 200+ magic was still barely 5k damage. Kinda annoying really. I can see why Japan made it so Dragonload gets a 700% ST magic attack (for 99 mp :suicide:) since magic damage is kinda lacking.

WebDO posted:

I can confirm they only(?) spawn on the boss's stage, since I got all 10 in about 24 hours that way while I had 0/10 running the non-boss stages over several days.

The bank-looking one is the Vault, where you turn in the Earth Keys you may or may not have already collected. You need to do the quest in the bottom left hand side of the Grandshelt City map for it. The other one is the Gun Shop, where you can show them guns you've found and they'll give you recipes to make them.

Go with the new account. 3 great units that you have is better then 1 great unit and a chance at good units. Plus being a new account you'll get heaps of lapis for future rolls.

Spend all your tickets first, see if you get anything.

Something's definitely fucky with the awakening chamber, at least on my end. None of the usual monsters showing at their usual difficulty. Feels like I'm getting beginner reward levels while playing int stamina costs...

So you march into a random shed in the corner of town, scream "CHECK OUT THESE GUNS" and if they're impressed, you get recipes? :v:

Do you need to do the quest that gets you an Altair first? I haven't been grinding out some of these quests, so my first gun was actually the Capella from the Vault.
