The general consensus on Reddit is to sell any galleon tins you get from the vault as that is what JP players did. However, most are afraid to actually do it "in case".

Can you dual cast dual cast black magic?

No, dual cast only works with magic, and is really kind of useless on ExDeath since his only other things worth dual casting are abilities.

Daily pull was a goldyellow Snow. That's cool, I like Snow as a character and didn't have one before.

Since it was a blue -> gold, I decided to press my luck and spend the tickets from the daily Festive Bundle, one each on the Holliday and Noctis banners.

I'm convinced that the RNG has a time component, it could explain the ludicrous streaks people have sometimes with 11-pulls, etc. I personally drew a half-price Lightning and then (after bragging to all the Goons) immediately drew another with a ticket on the Lightning banner. I've had terrible luck days too. Going forward, I think I may only do consecutive pulls when the first is promising.

Anyway:

Holliday banner: 3* Medius.
Noctis banner: 4* Mercedes.

That'll do, game. That'll do.

Once you really start playing this game everything under 300 isnt going to cut it. I have 170 Cactuars alone and I only have 350 slots. Thinking about maxing them already.

I think I'm fine with 200 total. I'm keeping around 170 so I have room for those cactuar bundles they throw at us like with this event.

Got my last individual snow raid reward and I'm done. Don't care what my ranking turns out to be, it's not worth grinding for an extra summon ticket or two, I'd rather spend time mission grinding for Lapis.

Looks like my persistence drawing on the Noctus banner with all these summon tickets from gifts and lapis bundles has paid off.



That's a nice belated Christmas present. Only my second rainbow, second base 5*. As it was breaking I was certain it would be a troll rainbow, and my condolences to those who've received them, that must be a serious letdown.

Apparently I have triggered people in the discord by saying I am going to smush my three Chizuru together. :v:

But honestly I can't macro and even if I feed her every single moogle we get from this point forward I wouldn't get Blade Mastery until sometime next summer. I'd kinda like one before then.

You mean you're going to grind them up to 30% then smush right? If you're just going to toss them all together for the 5% then that's dumb. Personally I'd go for 47.5% + 47.5% and keep one for the long haul but I don't know what units you're working with.

Oh no I didn't mean right, now, they're all in my TM grinding party. The idea of keeping one and just putting together two at 47.5% is tempting too, I might do that, since I have 2 Lightnings and a Luneth and all three of them would love to have Blade Mastery. I just can't grind out three Chizurus manually. That would drive me mad.

One thing to consider is that if you aren't TM grinding then you'll lack the good katanas to make having blade mastery worthwhile.

Murasame and Chijiraiden are fine but you'd be better off grinding a TM weapon instead of a third BM.

Doing some quick math, which I'm sure I'm doing wrong says to me

Blade Mastery for a 150 ATK unit = 75 Atk
Osfune = 35 Atk
=
110 ATK

Excalibur = 120 ATK
Atk 10% for a 150 ATK unit = 15 ATK
=
135 ATK

So unless you've got a Miyuki also in the works, there isn't currently enough Katana support to justify a third BM.

# of Mikyuki you have + 2 - 1 if you didn't get Chijiraiden.

Osafune is 42 ATK, not 35 (that's the wind katana), but other than that your math looks right.
