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



Ahhh there's so much cool poo poo that I'm not going to have any mythril for. I wanted to buy some of these costumes and get more orbs but it's hard not to spend all my stamina grinding out the rest of these classic / elite dungeons for mythril instead. I've got a pretty big pile of them left.

Tbh, get the costumes you want first. There's no guarantee those'll come back any time soon, while the dungeon mythril will always be there, and good relics may return in future banners.

there was a mean thing here before, but now there is a dog
Strongly seconding "get the costumes first".

Banner format changes again after... well, it was after OSBfest in Japan, let's say "starting with the next FF8 event". Month or so.

Bursts and OSBs start showing up as three on the banner instead of two, as the OSBs are "bonus" instead of knocking off a Burst, and eventually they catch on and go "Oh no one's going to bother with just Bursts like this" and all the banners flip to three.

I feel like the only thing worth going for in the current format is OSBfest(which had four OSB/Burst assuming it stays similar) and Onion 1(which is just because it's Breaks for a powerful character that has them mysteriously not show the hell up...).

That Mythril will be pretty useful still, trust me. (Hell, even that FF8 set has some good stuff. Strange Vision's up again on a banner actually worth drawing on.)

Hmm, I think that Halloween 25 Mythril is gonna go straight to the Buff Lucky Draw. Another chance at Protector's Roar would be great, plus also a chance at Strange Vision and Sheepsong. In fact, if it comes after OK his BSB will be in there, too.

Just ordered numerically by realm, from BSB -> SSB -> SB, so whoever had the first SSB got on the picture. I'd have featured Sheepsong, too.

Probably because someone went through the SSB list of each Banner by Game Order and picked the first character...

Also I somehow don't think Echo is going to get any interest stirred up for that last banner.

I'm not surprised we have no Grandmasters event in the wings, honestly, though it does concern me about the fates of Ayame/Curilla/Ice Storm. There's no reason they would keep us from getting those (unlike the WoFF/FFMobius characters, FF11 characters are explicitly FF11 characters and will likely just be tossed to us as an afterthought either in the Hall of Rites or otherwise) but we also don't know what their ultimate plans are.

We have discovered that some players did not recieve the Halloween presents previously announced. The presents include 25 Mythril and two pieces of Halloween equipment.

These presents will be sent to affected players at 11:59 PM 11/6 PST.

loving what.

So we have to wait a week for no given reason, and are just being told "yeah deal with it, it was a gift anyway"? That seems a bit. Frustrating, especially for people who were hoping to pull on the Larsa banners with that.

To say nothing of the fact we apparently have a loving bannerfest coming. It doesn't even matter that the banners are relatively crap, it's more the principle of the thing, and kind of a giant middle finger out of nowhere.

Yeah, Tidus OSB/Wedding Yuna event is the next on the roster. After that is FF13-2 (Noel, generally a 'skip' on the banners), FF4 (Kain BSB hype), and then the holy grail of Onion Knight's banners.

You'll have the mythril to pull on it before the event ends though. Which is more than I can say.

Yeah, my X synergy is still lacking so I definitely need to invest in a pull there. I'm in need of physical synergy for FFIV so I need to pull there too. Not enough mythril for OK though and FF4 is likely the last banner I will toss money at.

Thankfully you were planning on using those on the Over-Tidus Banners, as you'll still have both on the 6th...

Yeah, right now I have 30 mythril, just not a heck of a lot of resources to get mythril from at this point though. I still do need to do the elites from the recent FFXIII Dungeon Update though.

Man I need to save for the lucky draw for the net Dungeon Update too :argh:

Now you don't have to suck meat from an exoskeleton!
For the people who needed the Halloween Mythril to pull on a Larsa banner, I feel you, but it might be worth shooting an e-mail to support in order to ask them to extend the event. Event extensions are not unheard of, it happened with Shirtless Sephiroth when they messed up the CM conditions (which was in our favor, to boot) and since they apparently can't deliver the hanging Mythril before the ETA, this might be your best shot at it.

I actually did that already!

At least I hope I did, when you go to the DeNa support page they send you to the strategy guide and the support link there is only for the guide, so it took a bit of googling and guessing to send it to what I hope was the right e-mail.

I do have to wonder what's going to happen with XI relics, though. I don't doubt we'll eventually get Ayame and Curila, but without the Grandmasters event, there's no real good, solid place to get their relics even if they're released later.

Best compromise I could think of would be to fold them into the Gold Fest banners and release the characters at the same time, or put them into the WoFF banner in place of the non-Lann/Reynn relics. Otherwise they're kind of stuck until the next Fest at least.

For those who missed out on the 25 for Larsa 2 just think of it as 25 more mythril for an actual good banner like FFXIV, OK, or Orlandeau.

With hotness like that within the next few months I may even break my rule of always pulling on half-price draws.

I was going to say it would be on the Revenge Lucky Draw but that only has Earthshaker.

And after looking at it, it is not a good banner, like really not a good banner. 2 BSB (Lightning and Cloud), 10 SSB (Ranging in quality from Cloud's Organics to Porom's Medica + Hastega), 18 SBs (The best SB being either Zack's Tseng and Stun SB, Golbez's Ebon Armor for dark boosting or Vanille's Medica + Protectga).

I only have 2 dupes on this banner and it's Cloud's BSB and Porom's SSB, so the quality is even worse. Your chance of getting a BSB or SSB per Mythril is about the same as a current banner too, and odds are this banner will give you a worse BSB or SSB then any current banner.

This might be the first Lucky Banner I skip.
