Give Nox a try, it runs pretty well for me.

I'm going to second this. I was Memu-img for a while after NOx broke but now their new version is all crash-y while the new version of Nox runs really well. I can even keep it minimized and it will keep going, no problem.

Vax likes the older version of Menu but I couldn't get the newer macros to run correctly on it without fiddling.

Using Memu 2.8.6 for weeks with all the new macros and stuff. No problems at all. Ran the new Enchanted Maze macro flawlessly over the weekend.

The fact to get a 5* base on your rerolling attempts IS the reason to reroll. You basically hit the jackpot and want to throw it away. Statistically you need 70000 - 90000 Lapis to get 1x Noctis. Think about it.

Unless you are one of the lucky few (we have a few in this thread) you will never get another rainbow five star base so enjoy prince spiky hair attitude. I got an Elza when I started (the five star base the week I joined) and have not gotten another one since. Granted it has only been a few months for me but I don't expect to ever get another one. There are a lot of people who have never even gotten one in much longer periods of time, and even paying a poo poo load of money might not even get you any so prepare yourself. Granted, I am still playing because it is a fun game and there are still lots of other good characters but (correct me if I'm wrong) no melee characters can ever be as good as one of the rainbows like you got and they are really hard to get.

E: another Charlotte from my daily pull. That is 10 Charlottes (ah ah ah).

And ugh, I got today's Burst Pot and it's barely enough to get Exdeath from LB8 to LB9 and a half.

Also I took a look at the update schedule, and man we are hopelessly, terribly behind even at the rate we're going. Other games I'm playing actually managed to catch up due to a shorter launch delay but we basically have a 9 month gap at this point that I dislike.

We're getting global exclusive 6* upgrades for Medius and Cerius.

Well that was unexpected. Our first actual Support 6* at that, so hopefully they expand her skillset.

Yea. We won't know their abilities until the early maintenance tomorow night. Cerius getting Green Magic dualcast would be fitting if they did that, but I'm hoping for more typical support abilities like status/debuff/stop resistance buffs or an autorevive (which we lack a targeted version of so far). I guess they could expand on her elemental resistance theme, but man, she already is the only person with Bar-ga spells. What are you going to do, give her an AOE 100% to all elements resist for 1 turn?

Super MP expensive 1 turn damage null seems like it's to be expected honestly.

I'm more interested in Medius, because how the hell do you salvage a fragile gunner that actively attracts attacks to himself? You don't.

Time to stack him with +HP items and make him a pseudo tank.

I got nothing else to grind right now so I'll use the maze to max him out right now. I doubt he will top the charts in damage though.

Ok so White Knight Noel (AKA Magitek Reindeer) has a Mag+50 TMR. What the heck.

Ah yes, the Trust "Muster" mechanic. Too bad he's a 5* no one will get.

Next is Santa Roselia, who has cure counters. Can't buff or revive though.
http://i.imgur.com/Sg5cg79.jpg

Cerius gets Dualcast, autorefresh and darkness resistance moves.
Medius gets buffs/debuffs, Blazing Glory(partial unmitigated damage move), and a gun from the new christmas event.

Christmas event? Yep, we get our first global raid event. You use the following gear which is extra effective against the boss

Reindeer tank has a TM that does MAG +50 and DEF +50. Wish that was a percentage instead of just standard points, but it's still good. Other than that, he's probably not that much better than Cecil, maybe? Guess we'll find out. Still, I don't think he's worth whaling for.

It being base magic is arguably better in the long run. Its already better on exdeath with L&A. Its an insane mage TMR.

gently caress this banner. I will not even daily pull. Cerius is super niche and green mage sucks because with a little bit of research you can just give Cecil the appropriate Bar- spell and dualcast it. If he is any good at all it will be for very few things. Medius is going to be crap. You cant salvage that. They both exist to eat your pulls.

I am pretty excited about the christmas raid though.

it's not base Magic, it's just Equipment Bonus magic, it doesn't get multiplied by % bonuses.

That said, a fully potted Exdeath gets 51 magic off Vanille's 30% Accessory. So this is pretty much better than the best in slot for mages. Enjoy. :(


e: The only time a stat from equipment is multiplied is Doublehand, which multiples any flat Attack bonus (does not multiply % bonuses)

See, I'm in the same boat as far as processors go. Except I've gone into BIOS and turned on hardware virtualization as far as I can tell, yet MEMU, NOX, and the leomoon cpu utility I downloaded all say it isn't enabled. I've spent so much time trying to figure out what's wrong, none of the solutions I've googled work for me. I've just resigned myself to trust moogles and manual grinding until I can get a better PC.

quote:

You need raid orbs (and 1 stamina) to enter. They refill separately from your stamina and arena/colosseum orbs and max out at five.

The boss you fight has its own health bar, but it also has a global health bar. Your rewards are based on how much damage you deal to your boss (maxing out at its maximum HP) and you get your points/10 in currency (rounded down). Each time the boss is killed globally, it levels up and grants additional point and currency bonuses. The stats don't change. If the boss isn't killed within 24 hours, it levels down again. There's not much benefit to overkilling the boss other than removing HP from its global HP bar (and impressing your friends who are raiding at the same time).

Then you use the currency to break your fingers pulling at the event banner. Or you bot it.

Patience has finally been rewarded and I got my Cecil to level 20 LB, and then awakened him to 6* and cranked him up to level 100. :getin:

I know that ExDeath has a scaleable LB that inflicts status debuffs, but am I wrong in thinking that the battles where those effects would land are also battles that aren't very tough to begin with anyways? The majority of the PRO/ELT bosses and Trial bosses are immune to pretty much everything useful, yea?

After Cecil and ExDeath, who's the next 3* base that most people aim to LB-level?

The second island: Wolfsfang Peak and Zadehl Wasteland explorations were the best a while back. I'm not sure if that's changed with the newer islands but both can drop the Fire/Ice Megacrysts from the collection points. Wolfsfang Peak is big and the collection points are spread out though. Bring a Charm Bangle and Diablos if you got the Reduce Encounters ability on 'em.

Personally, I do Maranda Coast/Dwarf Forge for the good unit xp and a decent drop rate (take a strong friend, auto your way through. requires a tiny bit of babysitting)

If you JUST want the cryst, I'd go for Westersands or Aquatic Cove.
