4/11 - Shotgun VII, Crystal Comb VII (I now have every Red XIII relic besides Lunatic High), Thor Hammer V, and Artemis Bow II. For 25 mythril, that's a hell of a deal, but it does mean definitely no third pull on Minfilia/Alphinaud 1. I'm happy with it, though.

Dupe Zeus mace and Thor Hammer(V). Another white mage stick for XII is nice, and a monk boostga is fine in a post OK bsb world

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



Pulled cause gently caress it.

Hewley Buster, Holy Lance (VI), and Deneb Duellers. Meh, I think? I can't really tell. I already have Shout so the two boostgas aren't really a big deal unless I'd be running those characters over Ramza for some weird reason, though I've got Sazh's Sirius Sidearms too, so he'd be pretty handy in a hybrid team I suppose.

Buster is something else to toss onto my insanely absurd tower of physical holy-damage relics. I could literally run two full teams of holy-damage only physical characters, with a holy imperil and a boostga in each team. :psyduck:

Probably shouldn't have pulled since all the lucky banners seem to keep piling on the same realms that I already have pretty decent synergy on, but I can't complain too much. I still have a shitload of elite dungeons to clear and between the next event and the minigame rewards I'll be sitting on a little more than 150 mythril for XIV and Fest still. Might even be able to hit 200 before the banners are gone, especially if they give away some mythril for Christmas or if there's a bunch of it on the fest roulette or something.

I'm almost definitely pulling on this one just because it's a shot at Vessel of Fate and the elusive Little Blue Book but man there's a lot of duds on this one. Going to sit tight and wait for Fest leaks.

3/11, Mystic Whip, Sentinel's Grimoire, Power Staff

Finally an SB for Rydia (she's one of my favs), Wall is Wall, and Lenna's mini Shout is going to be gangbusters for the imminent Torment stuff.

Nothing mind blowing but I'm satisfied with what I got for 25 mythril.

E: about those relics in the post above, Josef's is a nice aoe damage + party % based heal (medica) on a support character who can lifesiphon. Very good.

Galuf's hammer is utter dogshit

Garnet's rod is a 2-hit aoe with party MAG up

And Leon's armor is +30% ATK + DEF which is really nice

Selphie BSB and Vincent SSB. :toot:

Happy about no dupes and no Josef or Desch. Not sure how I'll use Selphie's BSB though when I already have her SSB. A shame my first White Mage BSB isn't a Medica at all.

Vincent's SSB I like just because it's a Magic Gun. Not amazing, but I can at least run it beside Eddie's Sheepsong and have a party of really buffed mages now.

Two monk boostgas, a faithga, and an ATK/DEF buff (useful if your II synergy is crap if you're tackling Cid's Missions). The boostgas and faithgas, while sorta weak, are actually a bit nicer now that Onion BSB is out since they stack.

Not even worth screenshotting but I must warn the rest of you: banner bad, don't pull.

High Summoner's Robe, which puts me in a bit of a quandry. It's a good item which I didn't already have, but it's on a banner I was planning to invest relatively heavily in. Oh well, it's also elemental boost armor so I guess duplicates aren't the worst.

Mighty Guard (VI) is actually a decent buff suite, just stapled onto a kinda bland character. If you need prolonged maximum magical mitigation it's not bad.

Solid Holy damage, Regen, and DEF+100%, which is a rare buff. You could certainly do a lot worse.

I'm waiting for the inevitable 1/11 Suicide Glove, this banner isn't curated at all.

That said, I got Punisher IX (Kuja's :geno: Faithga), Canopus AMPs XIII (Sazh's +50% Boostga/MBlink), and White Robe I (Sarah's HotE clone). Can't complain, can't complain! I can actually choose between Ramza/Celes or OK/Sazh for all my statboost needs, now.

My only issue with DEF+100% buffs is that they don't fully stack with Wall. The buff cap for DEF and RES is 450% of base, while Wall + Hewley Buster/Iga Blade/etc gives you 600% of base. If you're using Wall, they're only very, very slightly better than +50% DEF buffs.

That's a small complaint, though.

It's not too bad, just really situational and I already have better mages. I'm mostly salty because I got stuff for characters I don't use and for realms that aren't in need of stat sticks.

On the other hand, there aren't really any relevant relics going forward with DEF+50% other than Curilla's Burst. Bartzcalibur recurs a lot, but otherwise if you're hunting for +DEF buffs Hewley Buster/Sabin's Wristband is about as relevant as you're gonna get.

I got Thyrus, giving me native wall and shout, which makes me happy, and I have Omnirod for her proshellga and major regen, buuuuuut... No medica for her. I guess I can rw a medica, but then I'm swapping rw wall permanently for medica permanently :(

First ffrk world problems I guess. Are there any healing bsbs I could rw for her that have strong enough healing commands to last though ultimate level fights?

Woop woop, 3/11, no dupes: Quina's Hairpin for SSB Frog Drop (and a sick piece of gear), Lenna's Zeus Mace for SSB Curaga + RES up, Sazh's Deneb Duelers for a party ATK boost.

The Hairpin in particular is super welcome and the only piece of armor in the game that boosts water damage, though I don't really have any way to take advantage of that at the moment. FF5 is now far and away my most stacked realm now that I have Bartz, Faris, and Gilgamesh's BSBs and a Curaga medica for Lenna. The Duelers aren't too great because I already have a pair of stronger FF13 guns, and Godsend is usually going to be a better SB for Sazh to use, but I'll probably get some mileage out the boostga on a CM at some point.

Got Basch's + holy shield, which is always nice for my Excalibur-wielding Celes.

And a Strago SSB which will be ok for CM, except I already got a good CM team. And a Sazh + attack + magic blink gun.


Seems like a reasonable pull for 25 mythril.

Apport: the Orb of Zot
The orb shrieks as your magic touches it!
Yoink! You pull the item towards yourself.
You see here the Orb of Zot.
FF7 event finished. Ultimate wasn't a problem even with the AOE 100% accuracy stop because my team was just that ridiculous, the Ultimate+ actually took a few tries because the boss's weak phase really dumps out tons of damage (on the successful run only Sephiroth in BSB mode and Yuffie were left standing), and the Ultimate++ went down even with me somehow messing up and removing Penelo's BSB from her SB selection instead of her shared SB.

Jumped on the Lucky draw and my pull was two copies of Edward's BSB (combined together immediately) and a copy of Selphie's BSB, which is incredibly lucky given this isn't guaranteed BSBs. I'm actually tempted to start using Edward over Ramza now, and there might just barely be enough stuff to get a mage team going now with Selphie BSB's 30% MAG/MND boost.

Also I now have a harp with 142 ATK before the augment rank of 2, which ties it with my augmented FF4 Excalibur for highest ATK ignoring RS. It's a Harp.

Eiko BSB if you're using a physical oriented team, Relm BSB if you're using a mage or mixed party that can't make as much use of Eiko's crit-fixing.

Mate this is way better for utility.

RW Walls give you walls and nothing else.

RW medicas can give you critical chance +50%, party esuna, party hastes, magic blink, re-raise, guts, stoneskin and magic/ mind buffs and that isn't even considering the burst commands!

Yshtola can also take wrath - no downtime on wall is very good, and the loss of ability slot is more than made up for by the RW burst commands.
