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.

There are two quests you need to undertake to gain access to the gun shop in Grandshelt, and both are in Grandshelt. And yes, the second one is the one that gets you an Altair.

If you want his trust reward yeah, otherwise run them through the xp dungeon a few times to max them out and sell for 32,000 Gil each.

Again a very likpatous story
Kind of frustrating when someone with a really good unit sends you a friend request and when you try to accept it says they've maxed out their friends list.

Halfway done with the Hunger quest, forgot to mention an odd thing happened regarding that. When I first did that dungeon, after beating the Chocobo Eater I got the pop up for completing 3 story dungeons for the daily quest, so I went to the screen to collect my reward, and after I got it it just went back to the map screen and opened the next area. i thought it was weird there wasn't a scene where Rain/Laswell met up with Fina. Well, after running through the dungeon again for the Hunger quest, it actually played that scene, despite me having beaten the next two story areas.

Related to that, when you've done all the current storyline dungeons, does that daily quest go away? It'd be kind of lovely to miss out on 50 lapis a day because there weren't any more story dungeons to do.

You get completion for that quest from any story mission, including ones already done.

So you can just run Earth Shrine Entrance 3 times to finish it for 3 stamina.

Because I got limited friend space. I'll add an 4* or 5* exdeath that has spells, vaan, or high level bartz/CoD no matter what. But I'm not adding low levels unless its a goon.

Gumi bolted the daily quest system onto Alim's code, so it shouldn't surprise anybody when things behave unexpectedly like that. Previously-completed story dungeons count, so you can still do that daily quest after you're done with the story.

I did the same thing. Now I just click the arrows instead of swiping. It works way better.

Edit: awesome I managed to get the murasame. I had to abuse the gently caress out of edger's poison (50%) and cyan's paralysis(30%). I had to get both statuses to land twice, but it only take 3 tries. It is odd they let you try this boss as many times as you want for zero stamina.

Or mention that the internet is stupid, or cleverly capitalize S A mid-word, or mention something about getting out, or welcome you to Final Fantasy Argument Stadium.

You can also look their friend code up on the spreadsheet. It's the only way to be sure.

Friend Point summons will only ever return Friend Point units, which are entirely seperate from the units you get from Lapis/Ticket summons.

Units that come from friend point summons: http://imgur.com/lKEV6hE

Everything else is on the Lapis gacha. And yes, most of the "good" characters (units capable of going 5*/6*) are rare as hell. It's about an 85%/15% split between pulling a common or a rare per pull. http://imgur.com/3Vvkeeo

Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.
So my first ok pull was a 3* Vivi, but after finishing my tickets I ended up with 4 more and a 4*one.

Do the mechanics of this game favor me finishing up leveling my 3* (hes 29 or so, so just a handful to 40) then fuse him into my 4* then proceed to do the same with the others, or dose the level not help too much and I should just cram them all into him for the trust?

At least Vivi eating his kin kinda fits in the story of ff9, if you really want to get dark about it.

Also my ID is 439 473 967 and I have a bunch of open slots if any friendly goons want to add me. Do people prefer Exdeath or Vaan friend leaders?

As an ExDeath (008,175,550) haver who just bought a ton of slots and added you, I'd prefer the Vaan, but others might disagree!

Congrats! That's a pretty drat cool team.

Exdeath isn't really useful till he's levelled up, so might as well set Vaan for the time being.

Goons are more likely to have obsessively re-rolled for Exdeath, Bartz, Vaan and CoD.

It also helps with building a Goon Friend Army and minimizes the "friend list full" problem the guys with the best lending characters on the spreadsheet have...

Most of the items will come from doing story/exploration, but the Sacred Crystals (for 4 star and 5 star) and Holy Crystals (for 5 star) which every characters needs for Awakening are best farmed from the INT Awakening Vortex. My advice is to just do the story until progress starts to feel rough, then farm the Awakening and Experience Vortexes for a bit until you've Awakened a couple characters (Exdeath should be first so he can get his actual nukes), then go back to story, and repeat until either you run out of story or you've fully awakened everyone.
