Squall Down!  Once again I missed mastery but really I'm just happy I'm managing these fights since I'm clearly still a bit shy of doing this high level content. Squall Party: Aria (BSB for Instant Heals, Curaja + Ultra Cure) Lenna (BSB for Auto-Life and Medica Command, Curaja + Holy) Krile (Sheepsong, Chain Firaga + Firaja) Maria (BSB, Chain Stonega + Sudden Freeze) CoD (BSB for Radiant Shield, Memento + Dark Zone)

So it looks like CT (in japan) will later on have the ability to do 8 encounters instead of 4 or 5....

Oh for gently caress's sake... the other day I was attempting to get a better clear on Golem, but my party is really bad on Earth damage. So bad that I have to bring Yang and his SSB Earth imperil. But hey that's okay, he can do Earth damage with Meteor Crush. Then I remembered, we were getting Gaia Rush in this event! Sweet, maybe I can stick that on him and have him contribute a little more damage instead of doing Lifesiphons when I run out of Meteor Crushes. Alright, let's see what it takes to hone to R2... 12 Non-Elemental, 12 Earth.... 20 Fire??? I swear to god, I've been running the Mondaily a lot because I am so hard up for Fire orbs. For a lot of people Monday was "Catch Up On Other Events Day" for a while but I've been running a lot of my stamina on Mondays in vain, hoping to the gods for some Major Fire Orbs. Of course every single magic pot that shows up is a Major Earth Orb. I think I got like 4 Major Earth Orbs last week alone. I thought I could finally start blowing through this stash of 200+ Major Earth Orbs I'm not using, but of course an EARTH ability uses more Fire orbs instead. Specialized dailies in December REALLY can't come soon enough.

I kind of wish these jumpstart battles would have a little more HP. This is the second week in a row where Lightning has blown it the gently caress up before I could get full break on it. *monkey paw finger curls in, every future jumpstart is 90% omniresist*

I need some advice. I currently have 435 inventory slots and I'm almost full. I've moved all my bad accessories and RMs to my vault a while ago but now I need to know what else to move. My thought process is to move everything that has an ATK or MAG value below a certain threshold but I'm not sure what that number might be. Most OSBs/USBs have like 160+ ATK or MAG but I don't want to set the threshold too high. I also want to take synergy bonuses into account. Is there a good rule of thumb for this? Like anything 130 ATK or 130 MAG or below gets vaulted or sold? Obviously I will take special cases into account like Terra's OSB MAG sword but are there other things I should be aware of?

I just put all my 5* weapons that don't have an elemental boost in the vault, and only take them out for realm synergy. You've got almost twice as many inventory slots as me so you should have plenty of 6* or higher.

My rule of thumb is to toss anything in the Vault that's not general-use in some way or necessary for current event synergy. So in this case, "general-use" is 6* gear, a collection of +all bracers, other +element armor, and accessories that will see common use like +35 ATK or resist KO. Of course beyond that you really want to inventory everything you have, so that you're not just relying on memory for +resist petrify gear or whatever. (They're all in 7 or 10, but still.) This game could stand to have more comprehensive tools for such a task, but actually implementing it and doing so well would be an uphill battle.

Jokes on you, Ingus' BSB shield is petrify resist.  But anyways it's a good idea to keep any sort of resist stuff out in the open. I've made the mistake of vaulting some excess accessories of various sorts and I always forget about them later when they would be useful.

Not to keep spamming things but I'm still really excited about finally doing enough content to fully legend dive someone. I was looking at Minwu's raw stats and while that MND is huge... that HP is sinister as hell and just makes me love my decision to dive him even more.

I wouldn't mind digging stuff out of the vault for realm synergy every now and then (mostly because there seems to be a trend now of the hardest content not giving you synergy bonuses anyway, or stuff like the crytal tower where anything equipped by a character with synergy gets synergy bonuses too) if there was actually a way to filter stuff. Not being able to look for elemental boosts and specific resistances, etc. makes that way too much of a pain in the rear end. I basically just spent enough mythril where I can have all 6* and great 5* stuff, anything with +elemental damage, and a basic assortment of general-use weapons (swords and rods, mostly) for every realm so I've got synergy covered. My vault is still full of a ton of poo poo I'll probably never use and should probably just mulch before I run out of space, but that random lovely gun / blitzball / book is going to be useful someday, maybe (it won't). Elephant Ambush posted:
edit: for some actual advice, it's worth checking once in a while to see if you've got all the synergy you'll ever really need for a given realm. Like for me, I've got 4 6* swords for FFVII, 3 of which have elemental boosts. That pretty much means that any 5* sword for VII that I pull that doesn't have any boosts on it can safely be used as a rosetta stone after I've learned the SB - there's realistically no situation where it's going to be better than what I have, with or without synergy, unless I draw like 5 of them or something. We're also getting to the point where a fully rosetta'd off-realm 6* weapon is still stronger than most 5* weapons even with synergy, especially if it has a useable +damage boost on it. It's a little trickier with mage stuff since the game seems to try very hard to keep you from accumulating a lot of good rods / staves that every mage can use, so you end up with a bunch of weird daggers and thrown weapons and poo poo. And of course you can do this with accessories too - I'm at the point now where there's basically no reason to ever keep a 3 or 4* accessory unless it has a rare effect on it, because even with a synergy bonus some random +15 or +20 attack accessory is worse than an off-realm 5*.

What we really need are more sort options like "date when a relic was most recently equipped" and/or "number of total times a relic has been equipped". It would also be nice to be able to sort by more than one criteria. Like "show me all the Swords AND Katanas from FF7 in descending order of ATK".

Well poo poo I was only able to identify like 8 relics to move. I sorted by ATK and when ATK got low MAG got bigger. Then I sorted by MAG and when MAG got low MND got bigger. I tried to create a low threshold of 120 for ATK and MAG each but I recognized that there were some weapons I had recently equipped due to realm synergy that had 120 ATK. I guess I use the stuff I thought was dumpy way more often than I thought and I guess I'll cough up a couple more mythril when it gets full again. This kinda sucks :/

Especially accessories with weird resistances, I dunno if I'm expected to have memorized them all by appearance by now or what.

What if you were to go into a realm dungeon for each game, and build an all-mage party. Then equip your best gear and see which realm synergy items get used and which don't. Theoretically anything that got left behind can safely be eliminated. Then do the same thing for a few different physical party loadouts to cover different gear sets, and then again for a party with a couple of healers. if you repeat this for each game, that should help you figure out which items never get equipped anymore, right?

So I'm trying to CM the current FFIII Torment. I think I can do it, but I need a bit of help. I can survive everything no problem, but DPS is an issue. I have to use CoD (bsb)/OK (bsb)/Luneth (nothing) because they're my only leveled FFIII characters. I got him down to ~30% but then his counter Curagas were healing him for more than my DPS was damaging him. Current team is: Luneth Zidane (key DPS) OK CoD Iris Can I pop Reflect on him to negate the healing perhaps? Any way I can further buff the damage of this jankass team?

Elephant Ambush posted:Yes but that's a lot of work. Agreed, but it might be the most efficient way to do it. If you do just 2 games per day, you can finish everything in about a week. And it doesn't account for accessories, but my solution for that is I made a google doc spreadsheet that lists all of the accessories I own and what they do, so I can see everything on one page. But that was cultivated over the span of a year, so setting it up all at once could be a nightmare. I think your real answer is to build a time machine and go back in time and keep track of all these things from day 1.
