:negative: I really wanted dual wield so I threw all my tickets at the FFV banner trying for a gilgamesh and got a ton of shantottos, another Faris and another Exdeath. I mean cool I'll be able to have two exdeaths loaded out with omnirods and Mag+30% but oh man.

So speaking of Mag+30%, how do those stack? Can I just slap like five on a dude?

I have 8 shantotto. Only 3 arc though, so I couldn't get a double dual wield exdeath party going on if the game stopped not giving me gilgameshes.

L&A - or "Letters and Arms" - is Ingus's Trust Mastery reward, which offers +50% (base) MAG when wielding a sword. It can be stacked like raw +Stat materia can, which is the only way it isn't garbage. Enhancer is the sword from the Intangir trial, which offers a piddly amount of MAG (compared to a rod), but still offers some.

Exdeath is a tree man who can call meteors to murder things.

Oh, I never got an Ingus so that would be why I didn't know what that was. No excuse for not remembering Enhancer though. :shrug: My current shantotto team is up to 16% around the board though, so you know. Like 1/8th of the way there!

Time to do awakening dungeons for crystals for my exdeaths...


*sees one monster instead of the normal two* *gives up* what a waste of energy.

Why does that happen anyway? Really, isn't there supposed to be two monsters per round in these dungeons? Every time there's one monster, I only get one item and it's never a crystal.

EDIT: looks like PRO is fine, maybe that's the best source for these crystals now? I liked the energy efficiency of the INT level, but if it's gonna be like that, well, guess PRO it is then

Why give up? you lose the energy either way, may as well shoot for the moon.

Is anybody else still grinding away at the gears? I got the fist weapon and talisman and I should have the last of the summon tickets later today or tomorrow. I should be able to get the 30k moogle sometime into next week but unless they add a fight that drops more gears and activate Lightnings bonus, that's probably going to be it for me. I'm saving the gigantaurs to see if I can snag waifu #2.

Don't do the moogle. the math on it is literally so bad, that you can get over 10% on FIVE UNITS by spending the same energy.

I meant one specific character cause there aren't many characters that would use L&A other than Exdeath. 30% mag is good for any mage just like bracers are good for any physical attacker.

Krile can use swords too, I'm sure there are other mages either out now, or coming out eventually that can use swords as well. Here's her with Enhancer

Krile 5 Star
Total Stats: HP: 2564 MP: 341 ATK: 207 DEF: 210 MAG: 633 SPR: 272

Casters who could benefit and are also of note: Celes, Ludmille, Ingus, Ramza

Total Stats: HP: 4813 MP: 318 ATK: 302 DEF: 291 MAG: 754 SPR: 348

Personal experience is that INT gives about 1 sacred crystal per run average - some runs give none, and I have had as many as 4 in one run. This is with the single monster rounds and everything. Just clicking INT, then hitting auto, then collecting loot.

I'd say I get at least one sacred/holy crystal around half the time in INT/ADV if each round has two monsters.

If each round has only one, then I may as well have run Earth Shrine :v: I don't recall getting crystals in that case. It doesn't happen too often luckily.

Actually it's almost a point in his favor, if you think about it the other way. Exdeath gets crazy high magic power WITHOUT dipping into the mage pool of gear. So you can gear two mages out incredibly well without gear shuffling.

I pulled. Golden Vanille'd.

I was hoping for a good non-banner character like Garland or Exdeath though.

Gonna get me those tickets and maybe...
