I've been running the thing non-stop since it started and I have yet to see a single one of the bonus bosses. With the low drop rates and mediocre rewards besides the usual ones like tickets and quartz, this seems to be the worst King Mog event yet.

I've seen two golden bombs and none of the other thing. The golden bomb encounters made those runs worth it.

Mog will continue to sell the current stock for a week or 2 after the event ends, but you won't be able to get more fish at that point, only spend what you have already accumulated. When the next Mog event occurs he will have an all new stock of stuff.

So basically if you don't get your mats during the event, that unit is forever hosed because you can't awaken it?

Except for a handful of characters (Y'shtola, minifila and Thancred off the top of my head) everyone uses the same awakening materials set. You would just need to wait till the next king mog event to have a chance at getting 6* materials again (or the maze special dungeon I can't remember the name of). 5* and below awakening stuff can drop from the vortex awakening dungeon.

Awakening Mats aren't character specific (with a few rare exceptions, but this isn't one of them), so don't worry about it if you can't afford them now. King Mog will sell the same set the next time he pops up and you can get 4-5 star awakening mats from the Chamber of Awakening and 6 star mats whenever the enchanted maze is active.

No, he'll typically have the same mats available again. Only limited time stuff works like that.

Also the materials needed to awaken the FF6 characters aren't exclusive to this event. If you can't awaken them there'll be other events to get 6* awakening materials (Divine Crystal, Fairies' Writ, Rainbow Bloom, Calamity Gem, Prismatic Horn, and Calamity Writ). The other awakening materials (Bizarre Box, Lucky Seedling, Brilliant Ray, Wicked Drop, Fury Seed, Hard Rock) are also available in the Awakening Pro Vortex dungeon. Farming them does suck but you'll also need to farm Sacred and Holy Crystals which you have to do the Awakening vortex dungeons to get (or some world dungeons/explorations) because Gumi hates us and didn't put them in the shop.

tl;dr there aren't any exclusive awakening materials in the event so don't worry too much if you can't get enough fish to buy them out. There will be more opportunities in the future to get more awakening poo poo.

They really don't seem to do much. I ran Electrical Tower - Pursuit three times and only got 1 of each crystal.

I then ran Awakening Pro and got 12 Holys off 5 runs. 100 NRG is a lot but it got me what I needed.

Why don't I see Elzas in my friends list ever? Is she a bad rainbow unit or are there just not many around? I used to have her up but since I got Luneth he is stronger so although she is still on my team he is my leader now.

My take: Because there are a lot better units available now. Her weapon pool is meh unless you spend a materia slot on being able to equip swords, and then a second for dual wield. Also because she was a limited unit so only some players even have her.

I'm fine with the amount of fish dropped per run, but man, the King Mog rewards feel really underwhelming this time around. I'll probably just grab the Rare Summon Tickets, the 10% Trust Moogle, and maybe some awakening mats/Gigantaurs and call it a day.

Grab the tabby suit, you never know. You might need to gear somebody for maximum HP and having a 10% boost on a chest piece is rare if not unique. It may turn out to be worthless in the future, but it's not that hard to get the 10k fish for it.

Yeah, it'd go great for a support unit (or a healer if you didn't get Aiden's TMR from the easter event or use Y'shtola). I gave my Tabby Suit to Ling for the HP and MP to keep her in fights and more MP battery power.

e: The rest is subpar though I agree. Beret is a repeat of the Festival Cap from Christmas but good for newer players. The materia looks totally :geno: (but still better than the MP+15% materia)

So why on PRO on round 3 do I get a Behemoth one time, then Apocryphia another?

Just for Refia and Minfila awakened to 6. Guess I will grind out the rest of the 160 mats, exp cactus and the tabby suit and figure out this macro stuff.

I couldn't find the settings gear in the instructions on Reddit so I also installed Nox and played for a few on my PC last night. Didn't test any macros but just familiarized myself with how things looked.

Do the vortex chambers benefit from xon/locke's drop boost?

It's still possible they are saving something for week 2, I just wouldn't hold my breath. My theory was Celes and General Leo get six stars. "Use the former generals of the ghestalian empire to beat Kefka!"

I could go with Celes and Leo getting 6*. I just recently both both of them, and they would fit the event.

Celes would be cool to get 6* just to try and see what utility Runic could bring again. iirc the Brachiosaur trial boss could cast Ultima and Celes could just runic it away :black101:

But I also now have Olive who has the same -DEF% Break as her, and Orlandeau who is, well, Orlandeau. Elza would need to get something crazy like a -70% DEF break or AoE Reraise as enhancements for me to consider putting her back on the team.
