gently caress yeah man, worked like a charm. I used my Cupid Luna for the -40% light res and two 5* Crofts, didn't even need dual wield. First two chain attempts got him to 16%. Nailed it on my 3rd reset. Going to do this one more time with a 5th body for the magic kill. Thanks!

I'm pretty much in the same boat: I'd burn it all on VP, SD3, or Flammie but a SD3 banner and if we do get the others it'd be months after we get 7*. I might throw some into the abyss on the IWD Mages banner for T.Terra or Barb since 1% > lol% but otherwise I'm fine just doing dailies and EX tickets.

Unless they announce global exclusive 5* base Sabin I'm just going to burn my tickets chasing CG Fina. Maybe Lila on Sephiroth's banner unless we get a hint of what Fryevia's eventual enhancements will be (Lila's still going to be better if Gumi doesn't nerf the poo poo out of her).

So if I play on iPhone and macro on PC using an android emulator, is there any way to get the two to share progress?

Everything is shared except lapis (premium currency) which is kept separate between android and iso environments. idk any good way of distributing lapis between the two. A fair bit of lapis income is kept in a rewards pool which afaik is shared between the two and you can collect lapis in the reward pool on your phone or in the emulator as needed. e: Ugato is correct, this assumes both the phone and emulator are linked to the same facebook account.

^ this assumes you link your account to Facebook. That’s the only way to share accounts from iOS. As far as lapis goes, I just collect everything on my phone. Between refreshes for TM farming I want to spend arena orbs anyway, so I just refresh from my phone before swapping back. E: just make sure you have more than 0 lapis on both in case Gumi gets hacked again. Ugato fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Mar 19, 2018 |

Yeah there's even a macro on the website that waits 5min between runs and won't use lapis. I've been using it while I sleep. Slower but 100lapis nrg refreshes for 90 nrg seems like a bad deal.

Thanks to the goons in the discord, for them steering me on the right path. I have a few questions still probably better suited for a forum: - Do droprates stack? In other words, two 6* Lara Crofts and a 6* Xon would be how much extra droprate boost? I'm also working on my 9S TMR as well, which I hear helps. Does it have to be equipped to 9S? So then, I have to bring him on my farm parties for that boosted droprate then, huh? - Do events come back? I've been playing pretty casually up until now, getting logins and doing some of the low level events here and there but never really putting much effort into this. I am a bit bummed I've missed so much. I've done some of the harder mode content but I haven't even unlocked Sakura in the main story. - How long does it take to complete the main story? What rewards does completing the story give? (aside from rookie quests, does it give anything useful?) So far from these Earth Keys I've gotten junk like Analyze or a Red Hat which give a pittance of stats. Meh. Anything that stands out I need to make sure I get? I would like to do the Nemesis fights for the equipment. - Is Onyx Spirit of Ra or Gold Ring of Set worth making? I am not sure what to make, and what to skip. I've made two Icy Deaths to stick each on Lara Croft so far. - I am at 575k and counting on this raid. Do you think I'll have enough to get the Glitz gem before it goes away on the 23rd? At 5 raid orbs in 5 hours, I question whether there is literally the time. I hit somewhere in the ballpark of 20k points per run. Is there anything I can do to directly improve my score? - How often can I use someone's Friend Unit? - How do I level up someone's LB? - When do events come out and how long do they last?

So for the rerolling advice, when does that take place as far as starting the game? Is it the point where rain and laswell are first talking about visions and they say to try it out proceeded by you pulling a random unit? I still haven’t linked any facebooks because I didn’t wanna gently caress that part up, but I’m just curious if im already past it or I’m not even at it yet.

I have a few questions still probably better suited for a forum: 1) Droprates stack, and 9S TMR can go on anyone for the drop increase; you don't need to use him. 2) Very rarely, don't hold your breath for a specific one. 3) Story quests to current probably 30-40 hours of playtime if you're watching the cutscenes and doing all the explorations. That's also assuming you're burning lapis for NRG refreshes. Quests are good, the silver chests can mostly be skipped to current world, don't skip the elemental key ones as you get good rewards at the end for those. 4) I would rate both the current craftable accessories as above average. Since they're easy to craft given that you don't have to farm anything or anyplace you aren't already farming then make a bunch. +15 ATK is pretty decent for a free accessory, as you probably don't have a million Hero Rings. 5) Are you running ELT? If so then there isn't anything you can do to farm more points each run. Run as much as you can and Wednesday night pop some refreshes if you really need to. Staff is neat but as the 10 man trials offer better MAG and SPR weapons it's not really that much of a must get item. 6) I think it refreshes every 3 hours? 7) Burst Pots. They're little gremlin-in-a-pot units that you can use to increase stats. The ones labeled "Burst" are for LBs. Also it goes up by ONE every time you use it (ignore this). IMPORTANT: The exp you require to level is lower at lower star levels, so it's easier(requires less exp) to get a LB to level 20 at 5* than 6*. If you have a unit that you don't need max level and can have them sit at 5*80 for a while, and that unit has a really good LB it's worth it to keep them at 5* unit you have leveled their LB to 20, then level them and finish off 20-25. 8) We get a new event every one-two weeks, and events last for two weeks.

Events are coming back in japan just a very slow pace. They'd need to start doubling up in the global version (releasing new and redoing old content at the same time) because we tend to get exclusive events more often than in japan and the japanese gap in content release keeps widening because of it. Also know that stat/limit pots are pretty rare. Dont spend them all on throw away units. Go in with a plan on who really benefits from their limit break. If the limit break increases your party's damage mitigation like Wilhelms/Chows, boosts elemental resistances like Yan's, provides stronger breaks like 9s/Tim's or imperils like Tidus then those are pretty good to upgrade. Straight up damage and heals aren't really that good, but 7*s makes dps limit breaks in some cases pretty good.

If you do up to the second mission when starting a new game you get something like 5 tickets and 500 lapis. Use those and reroll as needed. I started fresh about 5 months ago and this what I did.

hahaha the new japanese Arena is loving insane and massive whale bait. Top rank gets 3 5* tickets, a complete UoC ticket, and 2 Blank moogles. Blank moogles are TMR containers that you get to 100% to gain whatever TMR you imbued into it. So say you have a 100% Buster Style Moogle somehow but no Cloud, you use the 100% moogle on the blank and get Buster Style from it. Gumi really didnt get any flak from introducing raid ranking because anyone can realize that you are better off just using your lapiz to TMR farm but Alim is actually giving out some insane stuff for their rewards. Exploitative as all gently caress

I never understood why they didn't have more reward ranking tiers for Arena. They're just throwing away money by having the tiers 1-3k and 3k to 30k, that's dare I say, generous. Give them the raid rank brackets and lunatics will spend plenty of $

I have now been lucky enough to pull Ayaka. I also have a near-BiS Wilhelm, a Basch, and a near-BiS 2B. Surprisingly, I also just pulled Explorer Aileen to go with my Aileen. To tackle the trials (Aigaion, Malboro, Bloody Moon, the 10-mans), would I be better off sticking with 2B and a friend for DPS or investing into the Aileens? I also have Christine, if chaining with a friend T.Terra would be better.

werdnam posted:I have now been lucky enough to pull Ayaka. I also have a near-BiS Wilhelm, a Basch, and a near-BiS 2B. Depends on the team you can field and the fight. For instance, I have a lot of support items and tank items. For Aigaion I just used my regular team with Noel soaking punches and I needed a “no magic” healer so I got a friend Tillith. That meant I needed to bring my own dps. For Malboro I’m probably going to dual tank it because it makes the fight ridiculously safe - that means I need to bring a friend dps. Having that flexibility makes a big difference, for me. Christine is absolutely worth gearing - you need magic for Bloody Moon anyway. And you need AoE damage for Malboro. I’m still swimming in TMs to farm so I haven’t looked really hard at the 10 mans. I know you want to do some big AoE damage on the Sheratan transition to make it easier. But having chaining partners for them is certainly useful.

Yes, rerolling is done when you're first able to get at the home screen again. 3* Ludmille as your first draw has been replaced with 5* Ashe now, I think. Also, if you link a fake Facebook page, there's a good chance Facebook will know and shut it down, shutting your game down too till you jump through a bunch of hoops.

Office Thug posted:I'm going balls deep on that one for TTerra in particular, but honestly pulling any of those six will be either immediately great for me or great down the line with 7*s. I wanted to say that I did this twice with only 5* Crofts (no dual wield). The Chain caps at 13 so you have to fire off both attacks super fast. I used a Cupid Luna for the -40% light res.

I hate to post anything pro-Reddit, but regarding re-rolling: There are multiple insane redditors who re-roll many accounts, and some of the "quite good" go up-for-grabs. Find those threads and post your interest instead of re-rolling yourself. Save many hours for the price of interacting with that sub (although, TBH, all re-roll guy I started from was totally cool and reasonable).

hagie posted:I am at the always fun part of deciding to sell raid currency or keep pulling for the cactus and moogles to pump up misc units... Selling the currency only gets you like 30% more than turning it in and selling the turtles. It’s not worth it, especially if you’re like me and not swimming in magicite and have tons of units to level. If you want to wait for real money wait until we get another raid where the currency sells for 50 gil each. If it’s only 10 it’s really not worth it.

I've had some great luck with pulls lately. Got my first Wilhelm (Cagnazzo, barely knew ye, would love those pots back). Got my second Aileen, which is dope because I also got Explorer Aileen and just got the last T3s to fully enhance my first, Atk potted Aileen! I also got Eiko, who is fantastic since I can gear her to get a big heal for everyone at over 600 Spr and still get 80% Evo Mag total. I didn't ever enhance Garnet and have never leveled Rydia so this is my very first Summoner (unless Rain counts, which he does not) - really enjoying having pulled her and so loving glad to be done getting frustrated by Kill With Esper / Summon Esper missions. The good luck has redone my whole team. A2 is fallen somewhat from her former majesty, and is now a third-tier gear user... who still manages to get within like 70 Atk of Explorer Aileen even though Ex-Aileen is using the robot arm, champ's belts, TMR'd out the rear end and A2 is stuck with god drat Gaia Sword & no materia higher than 30% Atk. Regular Aileen is using a weird combo of gear I had on A2 and gear I had on Orlandeau to actually beat A2's former max attack with her best gear, though. Artisan having like 50 more Atk than Durandal sure helps, but god drat it I will not TMR Cecil because I just know then I'll pull Steiner after all. I actually got Eiko and Aileen #2 trying for Steiner. I just wanted a higher damage sword for A2 to maybe get her close to 1200 Atk. But hey I will 100% take a huge upgrade for my whole team instead. Still got around 70 tickets saved up for Nier #2 whenever it comes, but man I am really thinking about trying for a second Explorer Aileen instead. Somebody talk me out of that nonsense, I'm sure A2 is going to be on top or close to it again someday...

Once a BE account is linked to a facebook account anytime you log in to that facebook account it'll log you in with that BE account. So if you start the game, link your FB account, pull 10 Bediles, and decide to reroll you won't be able to use that same Facebook account again since if you do log in with it it'll load your 10 Bedile account. I think people got their BE account unlinked from Facebook by contacting BE support when FB was locking accounts because FB is poo poo.

No. FFBE is very resilient when it comes to remembering your account. You have to use a new device altogether or sign out of Facebook. Sadly the quickest way is indeed to have a burner Facebook account. When you go through enough to decide you don’t want an account, you sign in to the fake fb account then back out. Repeat until you get a keeper and sign in with your real account.

I was also reading the FFBE beginners guide on reddit which had a list of “top” tier units to hope for on rerolling. And just so I’m understanding that I’m doing this properly, I have an account linked to a dummy Facebook with initial pulls already done on it. I log out of that, start a new game, rush through tutorial, do my pulls and a) if I don’t like them then I log in to my dummy facebook, log out, and repeat from step one, b) if I do like them, link to main Facebook and I’m finished Sorry if I made that convoluted but I’m just trying to make sure I’m not screwing myself because I want a nasty rear end dual wielding/two handing top tier warrior type. I’m going to be in here with probably a lot more annoying questions as I’ve never played a final fantasy game and played very few games like this in general, but am loving this.
