Ugh, another ten tickets down the drain. I didn't even get a single gold. Not the worst luck in the thread but it's certainly disheartening to miss the best healer for 6 months (barring pulling her off banner on the daily pulls). I've still got 40 tickets left for Rikku right now but if I miss another on banner 4* character... :suicide:



Cartoon Man posted:

So the odds of getting a rainbow on a given 11 pull are normally 14%, so some of us should be able to pull 2 rainbows, theoretically. (Unless Gumi fucks with it some way...)

A lot of my test pulls on the simulator come back with two. Got three once or twice.

Assuming the guaranteed 5* replaces the guaranteed 4*, it'd be ~10% to pulling one or more additional 5* characters. (1 - 1%chance of getting a rainbow)^10 = 90.4% to not get any extra rainbows. So yeah, the first post after they add the guaranteed 5* 10+1 will be somebody posting about how they pulled two Tiduses and an Olive :v:

Given that this is a free rainbow I'm far less salty about what I get. Give me your Delitas, your Aces, your huddled Queens.

Since I'm saving lapis (TMR) and storing tickets, I did a single ticket pull for giggles.

I'm done, no more pulls/tickets until Rikku.

I've got 180k coins to spend today and still nobody who is both good and needs EXP. Guess it's time to level up *checks unit list* Ulrica and Bowie! :retrogames:

From Reddit (reporting on a FFBE Facebook post):

A reminder to everyone! Raid summon will only be available up to 6/23 0:59 PDT so make sure to use all your titan raid coins for a chance to get Yda, Papalymo, Y'shtola, Minfilia or Thancred and a lot of other useful units such as gigantuars and gil snappers!

That's weird, checking the banner in game says it ends 6/22 00:59 (PDT), a day earlier. Plus with maintenance tonight (6/1 22:00 - 6/22 7:00 PDT) you have even less time than that. Probably safest to spend those raid coins regardless.

I ran low on trash dudes, even leveling Clyne and Anzelm to 4* lv60 so I took my Maxwell to 6* and got her to lv100 too. Still had to spend 400 lapis to carry over some extra cactuar kings. I wish the free unit expansion from the anniversary was a few days earlier.


super late edit: Oh, I checked the reddit post and that's from the devs themselves. n/m me then! They even said the banner end time is incorrect.

Started playing again. Had a few tickets and managed to get Tillith so that's neat. Anything I need to focus on doing right now?

Also, in the BF event the new accessories are worth buying. The 25k accessories give beast killer or demon killer, the 35k accessory gives 10% evasion to both physical and magic damage.

Eh, Kelsus is kind of meh, but whatever because he's free and has a cool gimmick. He's no Maxwell or even Dangerous Ariana but I'll bet someone finds some use for him.

Don't be surprised you get a good chunk of Lapis in your inbox tomorrow. As part of the quality of life patch upgrades, they are eliminating all crafting time and refunding the cost of the crafting slots. I can't remember if they said whether or not they would issue refunds to you if you paid the ransom to instant craft...but I think they will.

Also ,if you haven't gotten the craft 1000 items/equipment/abilities trophies, its about to become really easy to do (tm grinding on earth sheine will give you leather to craft leather whips and life orbs for abilities, and you can put elemental crystals as your requested friend list gift to craft spells) so thats some extra lapis right there.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
It finally happened. 40 or so tickets, and fifteen gold crystals, of which only two were on banner I finally got Tilith (the other on-banner was Seria). I also got two rainbow crystals in that same time which was pretty crazy (only one on-banner, Elza). Among the non-banner pulls I have gotten:
2 Leons
2 Kings
2 Amelias
2 Refias
(that's right, four different pairs of off-banner dupes out of 15 crystals)

...and the off-banner rainbow was Delita. :v:

gently caress this awful banner forever but at least I have Tilith. Still have 81 tickets and a bigass pile of Lapis for when Rikku comes around, plus the 1st Anniversary banner too.

e: maxwell/elza/tilith/seria and buddy maxwell/elza for 450% bonus is welcome too. I pulled 2 extra Roselias before Tilith and fused them away too. Hurray for increasing the amount of TM grinding, or moogle feeding, I'll have to do to get Equip Staff now. :downs:

I need 3 power gigancrysts and 3 support gigancrysts to max out Firions fin briar and legend killer. Is it more efficient to grind this event (275% modifier, and I have everything else I want), or running the vortex? In my experience, I'm getting 1 gigancryst a day if I spend all my nrg in it, if I'm lucky, but no guarantee it will be the one I want.

I still haven't done much since the first mysidia update, and I need to get titan so half en story missions is the plan.

Much obliged. I was a dummy and figured I could bum rush it, and lost 40 energy for my hubris, but went in again with Minfilia and proper buffing, and while my calculations must've been off somewhere, Elza still did a very respectable 800k or so damage a round.

The Adventurer Materias require one of the previous rank (except rank 1) and a whole bunch of Relics. Adventurer 5 requires 1200 relics and Adventurer 4, for instance.

We're all getting these eventually.
