rabidsquid posted:so how much mithril is good to save for ffta and ff9, like 300? All this renewal mythril is spoiling people. You hit severe diminishing returns if you drop more Than 100 mythril on one banner. People say it here all the time, don't chase relics. Pull once or twice on a group of relics you like. The sour feeling of walking away from a relics you want is part of life unless you are willing to open your wallet big time. For new people I would actually recommend spreading 100 mythril out over a banner from every realm you don't have synergy for. Relm coverage is what a lot of vets got out of this mythril in the past. You will get some prize relics from some banners and crud from others. Most of the great stuff comes back.

Did you guys finish the BRA BRA event? The last two stages have a pretty ridiculous stamina cost for what looks like crappy rewards. Is that accessory any good? My issue is I have a lot of non-mythril stage renewal events to clear and limited stamina to do it. I don't think I'll be spending much more mythril on refreshes, but their rewards in general are way better than the BRA levels. I have to decide if I'm going to let that 130 stamina go towards an OCD compulsion to finish all current events or not.

rabidsquid posted:so how much mithril is good to save for ffta and ff9, like 300? Alright, so, here's the big secret about the FFTA-1 banner: there are, in my opinion, five items on it that are "big" for the current and upcoming meta, namely Ramza USB, BSB2 and LMR and Marche USB and LMR. And of these five, four (Ramza BSB2, Ramza LMR, Marche USB and Marche LMR) all showed up together, all four of them, twice more, once on the Alma-1 banner, better known as the home of Orlandeau's USB and LMR, and once on the first banner for the 3rd Anniversary celebrations in JP. At the very least, we'll get all four of these items showing up together on the Alma banner for sure. The anniversary banner is a less safe bet but evidently, where Ramza BSB2 and Marche USB go, their LMRs follow. Unless you're specifically shooting for Agrias or Meliadoul items because you like them and want stuff for them, anyone who's after a modern-compliant Ramza and wants Marche's stuff but is not too concerned with it happening right away could actually be advised to stop if they grab Ramza's USB.

I already have a near-complete Ramza (Tailwind, Shout, BSB1, USB) and good FFT synergy overall so I'm actually considering skipping that banner because of your post. More mythril to chase Balthier's USB/BSB2 and justify legend diving him....

i would like me a ramza and some vivi stuff but i am completely lacking in any relics from a lot of realms right now. it sucks that the older realms are where i have no synergy and are the worst renewal banners to pull on. also getting that ingus bsb and shield is making me nostalgic for the old old days when i started record keeper and the double shell/protect bug existed and retaliate was meta. tauntaliate in a bsb

So if you have shout, chant, and history's truth you'd argue I should give the banner a pass?

Servaetes posted:So if you have shout, chant, and history's truth you'd argue I should give the banner a pass? I mean, you probably "want" Ramza BSB2 because it's a straight up better Shout and his LMR is a massive QOL thing that's not half bad for speed purposes either but unless you want Perfect Support Boy Ramza RIGHT NOW, if you have his USB, the six-pack of Orlandeau USB/LMR, Ramza BSB2/LMR and Marche USB/LMR is probably a better place to go after his newest things since Orlandeau USB is yet another real deal type of thing. Also, as much as it grieves me to even mention, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Onion Knight's physical USB actually becomes the gold standard for Hastega physical team fixing just a short month and change later. For Ramza USB havers, the only thing FFTA-1 has that Alma-1 doesn't is Agrias and Meliadoul items. Ask yourself how much you want that first and foremost, because Ramza and Marche's stuff comes back not all that long later, maybe even twice, and there's some stormy weather ahead on the Shout-like front.

is the tactics renewal banner still decent enough to pull on until the new ffta one. most of my old synergy is bad but those old renewal banners definitely arent worth it. i guess i could pull on type 0 again but if i just get more nines stuff im gonna be unhappy and dont really wanna risk it

The only renewal banners that are potentially worth pulling on at all are XV and Type 0 because the pool is so small, the others are traps.

I still don't see Ramza BSB2 as a chase item if you have Shout/Chant/USB but the LMR sure is something else. Just don't see him being able to use his commands much but at least the wrath saves an ability slot that might let you sneak in an Affliction Break or something now and then. And I know the other command is good damage but I'd rather have him wrath to his USB to increase the party's overall performance. It's a good thing and I wouldn't mind having it but I can live without.

It's also useful on easier event bosses or sub-30 Magicite where you're anticipating only needing to cast it once. It's Holy/Non-Elemental so it's something for him to do, if nothing else. On the other hand, remember that people said Rikku USB wasn't vital because they could get the pieces seperately; now Hastega/Proshellga is showing up on Walls and Shouts and god knows what else. There's a lot to be said about space efficiency, and having the baked in Wrath helps. That said, if you already have Shout, you'd much rather gun for his LMR or OK's USB1/LMR combo.

The command 1 also has 2.7 potency over 5 attacks which is pretty high considering the soul break also grants en-holy.

Agrias' USB and LMR ARE good, especially if you have her legend dived (dualcast knight from her LMR means twice the imperil chance from her LM2), but yeah, Orlandeau's banner is overall stronger (even if I don't care about Alma's stuff and think it's pretty underwhelming). But I hate losing the chance at Ramza USB.

But I hate losing the chance at Ramza USB. Yeah. I'm not gonna lose sleep if I don't get one of my chaser relics (Ramza/Agrias LMR, Ramza BSB2, Marche/Agrias USB) on the FFTA banner, but I can't justify not throwing pulls to it given how much it can boost what is already essentially my A-team (especially my holy A-team), even with three dupes on the banner.

Neutral Zone Trap posted:Not all events warrant a clear. Look at the IV event Burning Blade after all the mythril stages are done. This is a good point, but after clearing a bunch of events and honing up abilities that I never had, I've realized I actually kinda need the orbs and eggs. The Accessories are icing. Abilities are really good guys!

Look at the IV event Burning Blade after all the mythril stages are done. 380 stamina for 15 major orbs is over twice as efficient as what you get from daily dungeons (~53.8 stamina per major orb). Even without all the other stuff it would be worth it.

I fool around on the JP version from time to time, especially if I have an itch to pull that I don't want to quite scratch on the global version yet. Peep this:  Three uniques, all for Yuna!

Yes, and you don't even need to wait until Tuesday or Sunday while the Renewal is happening, because the FF3 dungeons come with simple EXP dungeons. And I also assume the Aria event coming up will have a similar dungeon for EXP as well, though even if it doesn't that's still a few more days of reliable EXP that trumps other options when the real dailies aren't around.

At this point I give up on the FF3 OK XP dungeons because I haven't had a mote drop in 500 stamina or so. gently caress you dragons.

Currently fighting dogs for 2 stamina a pop is the best xp/mastery per stamina at 15k exp/stam if you get the worst result

Mithross posted:Currently fighting dogs for 2 stamina a pop is the best xp/mastery per stamina at 15k exp/stam if you get the worst result Edit: It's ideal to farm Round 1 rather than Round 2 for the loot from Bandersnatches. In the former they'll drop Greater Black Orbs or the occasional major orb, while in the latter they instead drop mostly useless Greater/Major Non-Elemental Orbs. I don't recall what they drop in Round 3, but for obvious reasons that's not nearly as farmable. NGDBSS fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Nov 1, 2017 |

When the renewals end, the Newcomer EXP dungeons also offer a pretty efficient avenue for relic mastery.

NGDBSS posted:It's incredibly lucrative from an XP standpoint, though be warned that if you want to do it (like I've been) that you should be prepared to constantly run it with the minimum necessary input. So turn auto-battle on, set your speed to 4 or 5, give everyone as much ATK as possible, and hopefully give everyone a haste RM. Ideally, with 400+ ATK on all party members (synergy helps here) you can clear everything but the Bandersnatches in one hit and just survive off your innate defenses/being faster than the enemies/potion drops.

Nothing on the Renewal banners is worth it unless you really love the 15 or Type-0 cast. The only reason I did it was because my 15 and 0 characters already had some relics and I just wanted to make them a bit better. Stay strong and save up!

"oh man look at all this broken poo poo, I want my poo poo to be broken now" and then the only thing that's broke is me  example: looking too much at the Onion Knight banner has made me tempted to pull on Aria 1. I shouldn't do this, there is literally no reason to do this. And yet I am compelled.
