Because someone on another forum posted they got Zell's BSB on a lucky three pull. 'I can do that too, easy' I thought as I spent my last 15 mythril

E: this is karma for me whiffing horribly on the last few banners

You know, they say the dice have no memory, but the law of averages says that if you keep wanting a ridiculously low percent chance, eventually you're going to get it.

The problem is how long eventually is.

Actually this mentality guides a lot of my pulls, both ways.

"... did we get all that on tape?"

That is a lot of data. Much appreciated! My takeaways are thus:

1. My next Crystal-II lode will go to Tyro to get that RW.
2. I'm at ~75 mythril right now, but "sit on it until OSBFest and/or Minfilia" sounds like a decent course of action.
2.5. Partly this is because I have zero confidence in my ability to get that OK Crystal-III, but who knows? I might get lucky.
3. I've got the breakdowns, but I'll build a Full Break posthaste. Likewise with Dark Bargain.
4. Re:jecht: Yeah. I was under the impression that it could produce more SB gauge while auto-attacking, but now that I think about it I don't think I've actually paid enough attention to find out if that's true or not.

Thanks again!

I might have to get her MCIII this event then.

I went ahead and combined the two swords since even with synergy, it had less attack power than a VII Ragnarok, and I can't imagine too many situations where I'd have more than one sword-equipping mage in III content.

I've been using OK and desch as mages, both with a magic sword and it owns. OK's attack is high enough that the lesser attack boost from the magic sword doesn't mean poo poo either, he's still good physically as well.

Oh, just one thing: while Full Break is mandatory since Full Break itself or Multi Break the multi-target Dancer 5 version is something you will bring to literally every fight, you don't need to hone it up high. R2 will do, R3 being a long-term luxury most people don't pull the trigger on even if they could afford it. Even R1 will help right now. I don't think someone who says his abilities are bad has the orb stash to blow on honing Full Break to R3, but just in case.

Is Jecht the only final boss that's shown up so far on the JP side? Seems like they can stretch it out forever at this rate. Heck, technically Jecht isn't even X's final boss!

As you say, Jecht isn't the final boss. That said, the most recent FF1 event in JP gave us Chaos, so exactly one game has had their actual factual final boss. There are several games which have seen their "final loseable boss" or "'real' last boss", but only FF1 so far has gotten the true final boss.

Yeah R2 Breakdowns is enough as long as you pace it right.

When hasted a Breakdown will last around two standard actions. So you can go Breakdown > Full Break > Attack without any issue and have the breaks last the entire fight.

Looks like it.

A someone who likes TAY this pleases me.

Also has a Holy Dragoon Dress Record for Kain.

Ceodore's BSB looks neat too. 8 Hit Holy/Non-Element attack with a Percentage Medica, and his burst commands are a 4 hit Holy/NE Attack with a 20% heal to an ally added, and a 2 Hit Holy/NE AOE with Esuna attached.

No, don't do that either, Greater Orbs exist for a reason. Attack is 100 potency, Breakdowns are 200 potency. Why use normal Attacks? What are we, barbarians? Visigoths!?

also what the gently caress is this:

You can get away with R2 breakdowns if orbs are scarce for you. Going R3 or R4 is better dps if you can afford it, but if dps is your goal you probably have better places to put your orbs than your support bitch.

I have 50 mythril and the Onion Knight banners are right there. I don't want anything on Banner 2, though - Zell has me set for monkpunch needs and Ingus sure exists - whereas Banner 1 I have multiple dupes on.

I already have Celes BSB so I don't really need OK BSB. I should really be saving this for Alphinaud or Orlandu or, heaven forbid, OSBfest.

I find myself almost maddeningly compelled to do one last hail mary anyway.

You may regret this, and I may regret tipping you over to making a bad decision, but the only thing I regret from blowing 100 Mythril and going 3/5 off-banner generics last night and only winding up with Arc's SBs to round up the two Lust Daggers and Heroic Shield I pulled from my two pulls earlier is the outcome. I don't regret the risk. I'm sitting on 200 Mythril post-bad decision though so YMMV.

I have rather spotty service at work (wifi and otherwise) so I can't pull the BSB names right now. I got Cloud, Wakka and Hope's BSBs.

I actually did a OK banner 1 pull and got Luneth's Gungir, Arc's White Robe and OK's Sword. Currently at about 175 mythril, would anyone recommend I do another OK pull? I've been reading about saving up for FFXIV's banner but I'm not sure what makes the most sense for me.

Currently, my goal is to try to get through as much of the OK event as possible this weekend. I just cleared everything in the normal Elite section this morning. But I'm missing some Greater Holy Orbs to get some needed magic mitigation.

I'd say skip on OK banner. You already got most of the valuable items on it, leaving only the OK bsb as a high value pull.
