Ok.

One 11 draw gets me Eiko's BSB and two Freya Tridents, perfect for my physical team! :toot:

Hairpin and Wizard rod on one. Kuja's Gloves and Excalibur IX on two. I got almost everything except one of the two things I most wanted from the banner.

Isn't one of those just FF5 after Exdeath's been beaten?

Legend of the Crystals takes place in FFV's world like a hundred years after the events of the game, yeah. But I mean they already did an event based on Advent Children so it's not like there isn't precedent for it.

These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



Lightbringer and Wizard Rod from the 11-pull. Lightbringer seems badass, Wizard Rod seems very meh, especially since I've got Selphie with Dreamstage. But now I've got this and Garnet's BSB dagger, so I guess I'll have to level her up some day.

Wizard Rod is a Hastega and a +RES that stacks with Shell as opposed to being Shell. And heavy regen, to boot.

Never shrug off a Hastega, especially for Cid Mission purposes.

I pulled on this one cuz I either wanted a holy SB to go with my holy boosts or a Crit +50% to optimize all my non-elemental, multi-hit SBs


:toot:
Golden Hairpin also opens up some options for me. Very nice.

11 pull got me Lightbringer, Wizard Rod, and Kuja Gloves #2 and #3. Beatrix burst should work well with PCecil's and Hope's! :toot: Guess I should get around to making Saint's Cross.

<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

Four 11-pulls. Final haul of like four Kuja's Gloves, two Freya Tridents, two Wizard Rods, an Excalibur, and a Lightbringer, and also an off-banner Hunter's Rod. No Hamelin or Golden Hairpin though! Lame, but I can't complain about the Lightbringer no matter how much I want to.

Well, 150 mythril gets me two golden hats and a wizard rod. Not what you hope for with 150 mythril, but this should get the job done. Ugh, I hate ff9 in this game.

Thinking about it this is actually real good, just wish I hadn't spent the last 50 for the other clip!! But that won't hurt me cause I had so much. Basically opens up my options and lets me RW Eiko's BSB.

Got Excalibur and Kuja's Gloves.

Neither of which improves my IX situation any. A IX Holy Sword is good, I suppose, but I needed something other then swords of FFIX Physical Synergy. And a bracer is nice, and Kuja is now definitely going to destroy everything ever with Dark Zone. But it doesn't open new options, it's another IX Mage Soul Break.

Got Gold Hairpin (and nothing else important).

Sure, I have +50%, but now I have to worry about either taking two relatively inflexible Support types to get both that and hastega or have to worry about it and Flames overwriting each other, and that's not pretty.

Frog Drop isn't really an A-team type of SB. Gold Hairpin is still an A+ drop though; it's a boostga for IX CMs (since you have to take Quina along, s/he's their only support), and afaik it's the only piece of 5* armor in the game that boosts water, so it's incredible for Tidus cheese.

Was going to wait to pull on the lucky draw until FF IX banner 1, and only go for that if I managed either of the BSBs.

Got Freya's spear... and nothing else.

Guess I'm saving more mythril for another go at it!

Dollar pulled Steiner's Excalibur and wow does that sprite almost look like the Lightbringer. Not the biggest fan of the SB, but can't complain about a 5* on a dollar draw :toot:

Wish I could pull, but I've got plans that need Mythril.

I'm tempted to pull on Eiko 2 JUST for a chance at Vivi's BSB, but I'll just hope that it'll be on Terra's Fire OSB banner like it was before.

Ok big warning.

The enemies on the elite difficulty for the FF9 event use Roulette (aka instant death that randomly chooses a target but is guaranteed to hit).

gently caress this event.

EDIT: Wait no it's on both normal and elite.

Also, don't forget that Quina and Garnet have RMs that only drop in FFIX realms. If you haven't grabbed them yet, this is your best (least stamina intensive) chance to grab them.

I'm never going to use ramza, even if I had shout. It's hard to replace a support (faris) that has some of the best debuffs (bsb and that aoe atk/mag down). I wish I had a use for him, I just got tailwind.

Faris and Ramza have wide enough skillsets that you can easily use both.

Edit: Since you have Grand Armor, for instance. You could have Ramza run Armor Breakdown and Lifesiphion while Faris does the offensive Breakdowns.

I run both Ramza and Faris on the A-team; Ramza supplies Power Breakdown and Full Break with access to Shout (if I'm not using it as a RW) and Tailwind (if I am), while Faris has Magic Breakdown and Thief's Revenge alongside her -ATK/-MAG SB.

Question for thread-dwellers better at mythril budgeting than I:

I'm tempted to pull on Guy 2, since it's got Guy's imperil earth and Maria's earth caster BSB, and I have a weird affection for that element in RPGs, since it's so often overlooked. However, I'm still trying to budget out:

* 1 pull on Tidus OSB 1
* 1 pull on Kain 1
* 2 pulls on OK 1 to hail mary for the BSB
* 3 pulls on Minfilia 1 (or 2 if I get all the stuff I want in that much) because it's amazing and XIV is my fave

I'm also reeeeeeally tempted by OSB fest banners 1 and 5.

I have 120 myth right now, and about 33% of the elites remaining to get mythril from. Is this feasible, or will I have to be a lot more conservative with my mythril than I'd planned? I have very little interest in the four banners (Squall OSB, Angeal, Leo, Dorgann) between OK and Minfilia and will probably not pull on them at all.

I think I have none of the pieces I'd need for Tidus cheese, other than that. And Tidus.

(I'd like some, though, X is by far my weakest realm that often gets events. ...okay, VIII isn't far behind.)

You can generally expect ~100 mythril per month before even considering the unfinished story dungeons, so you will have enough, but I probably wouldn't recommend doing more than 2 pulls outside of the budget.

The expected minimum is:

40 from weekly events (4 in a month)
33 from logins (30 days + 3-4 bonus logins)
16 from monthly DUs.

So generally about 93 Mythril.
