Scrublord Prime posted:Materials can be broken up into groups: Thanks for this. Helps a lot at figuring out a lot of what this stuff actually does. Kind of annoying the item description doesn’t just say what it’s used for. Only thing I’m not really gleaning from this is what I should actually still sell

Fire / Ice / Lightning / Water / Earth / Wind / Ligh / Dark Crysts can be safely sold since if you need them it's easy to replenish them via setting it as your friend item. The only big thing they're used for is ATK/DEF/MAG/SPR/Evo MAG+10% materia. Megacrysts are valuable, mainly for crafting Hero Rings and their upgraded forms. Don't sell them. Most of the crafting mats are safe to sell excess stacks of. Stuff like Life Orbs, Gaia Tears, Thickened Hide, etc. Some keepers: Farplane Soul: Another mat needed for those Stat+10% Materia. The first town in Paladia sells them but until then it's probably better to use Farplane Souls to craft those +10%s. If not for your main team then for expedition units. Life Orbs, Thickened Hide: Use these to craft Potions and Leather Whips. Once you craft 1000 equipment and items you'll get two trophies worth 500 lapis each. There's also one for materia/abilities but idr what was easy to craft for it. Once you get those trophies feel free to sell these too. Chromatic Ooze: A good expedition (What's Cooking or something like that) uses 40x of these and you don't get them via Earth Shrine grinding. The expedition is 12hr and gives a random giantcryst so it's worth holding on to these. Otherworldly Bone: Like Chromatic Ooze except the expedition is mediocre. You probably won't have excess stacks of these to sell anyways. Elemental Tears & Spellsilk & Gold Ore: Valuable for a few good crafts, hold on to these. Screamroots: Craft these with Fine Alcrysts into magic keys instead. Copper Ore: Craft these into Shurikens for the 1000 equipment crafts trophy then sell. Otherwise it isn't worth having big stacks of most of these. Like the Corpse Fly for example is good for crafting a small handful of Undead Killers and nothing else. Then there's raid materials. Sell old ones, use existing ones to craft good stuff then sell. You'll have to look these up. They're after the ores. After the ability crysts, alcrysts, and fine alcrysts are awakening materials. You can sell excess stacks of basically everything here, but I'd suggest staying above half a stack (x99) for most so you aren't short if you awaken a 3-4* character. Some stuff is rare enough that you don't get excess stacks (Hard Rock to Bizarre Box, those are a bit rarer but not 6* awakening rare). Don't sell Talmonites of Life, they're also used for a good expedition (HP Pot). You can sell all your Esper Shards as they are only used for friend point unit awakening (those 1-2*s). It might be worth checking the Earth Shrine drop list so you know what you're going to have piles of after a night of macroing. If you're going to start and you're short on space it's worth selling what the Earth Shrine drops because you'll have fresh stacks once you're done. e: weird phrasing on awakening mats Scrublord Prime fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Apr 24, 2018 |

So pretty much hold on to everything then, until I have everything crafted or no use for the crafting of whatever, and never any awakening materials. Can I pay attention to the star rating for any indication of what type of item it is? And where do I pick up decent crafting recipes?

For non specialized fights, I'd go with VoE (tank), CG Fina (heal), Rikku (Support), Minfilia (Buffs), VoD (dps), and bring a friend VoD, Orlandeau, or Fryevia to chain with. You're gonna want to enhance Minfilia's Assault and Guard orders. 80% all stats boost is pretty decent. You could also replace Rikku with Ashe for some magic DPS. For most content that'll probably be fine, but for your first few trials I'd consider taking Rikku for the support, she's a godsend when used right.

Can I pay attention to the star rating for any indication of what type of item it is? And where do I pick up decent crafting recipes? Sell excess awakening materials, I phrased my post poorly with that. 100-199 is a safe buffer but above that sell it, and sell all esper shards since you'll get a ton of those in the Earth Shrine and they're only used for awakening FP units. PaybackJack posted:The best crafting recipes are probably the killer ones which are obtained from Silver Chests in explorations. In addition to the killers the Stat+10%s are good too for filling in materia slots for expedition units. It's worth getting 4 Evo Mag+10%s to make summon kills easier but since they don't contribute to expeditions you only need those 4. Also Mage's Habit for more expedition fodder. Unsui Clothes are also good since they have decent stats and 50% water resistance. There's Ice Armor & Shield, Flame Mail & Shield, and Lightning Shield are good for their +50% Fire/Ice resistance, getting both on a character can get 'em to 100% resistance when that comes up. Raikiri stats are mediocre but it's lightning elemental which can help in a pinch when needed. Then there's the Hero's Ring which you get via trophy milestones. They're the main megacryst sinks and decent gear until you can get some good event or TM accessories.

Bob NewSCART posted:Thanks again for being super helpful, dudes General purpose: CG Fina (heal/damage) Dark Veritas (DR chain, so works with fryevia, orlandu, and others) Earth Veritas (if you need a tank) Rikku (top tier support, especially with her TM) Minifilia (buffs) Those Amelias can be good for AOE chaining and will destroy in the arena due to their AOE Stop via Ricochet.

new kind of cat posted:any word on if 7* knight delita is any good? daily draw today landed me a second. His LB is really good. 74% ATK/MAG break, which his TMR equip skill adds DEF break and 100% Lightning debuff, and makes the total damage 13x. His LB only costs 20 and he has innate 50% high tide and auto limit 2. Build him right and he'll be using his LB every turn. He's fairly well rated but some what limited in that he's pretty married to the LB build.

GreenBuckanneer posted:What about regular Delita 7*? Does Zarg have a 7* too or no? Zarg is a global exclusive so we don't have an data on what his 7* may look like. Delita becomes more a break master, gets an ATK and MAG break and gets an ability that allows him to use two breaks a turn. He also gets a dark chaining move.

Zara is global exclusive so no idea what his 7* will be. He’s not limited so he’s going to have one. Delita is bottom of the barrel basically. He becomes a not great finisher as well as being able to dual cast his breaks. E: beaten, though his chaining move is kind of a joke at 6 total hits

Honestly 7* have me a bit too weary and demoralized of the game at this point. Especially since the 2 I want are some of the lowest ranked (with one probably not even coming out here), and the way to get 7* and their TM's is total bullshit to begin with.

3rd Tidus here. Not sure how great his stmr is. I’m leaning toward pretty good since it’s the highest +esper stats I remember and 150% lb gen is a lot. Plus it can just go on anyone who has a good LB. Might even help push Noctis over into just being my bard for me since he can also simultaneously fill the role of provoke/dodge tank or st finisher.

So, we're getting the Dragon Warrior characters. Looking at the wiki, that Liquid Metal Slime doesn't have any sort of Provoke or Draw Attacks... does enhancing its abilities do anything to help?

All the DQ characters as they currently are are terrible because of months of powercreep and this banner is a hard pass. LMS is the only barely usable one for it's gimmick of super high DEF/SPR but low HP.... but it's a triple 4* banner, and anyone who went for Tilith and didn't get her knows the horror that can be. His TM is also very good, 49 Def Light Shield with a Ribbon stapled to it. That being said, there's a very real possibility that they give them all Globex Buffs, because theyre not going to make any money releasing them as is and hoping for notalgia. Depending on what those are the banner could be good.

Looking closer, the Liquid Metal Slime's Provoke is tied to its Limit Break. I always miss the Limit Breaks when I skim a new unit's abilities, need to work on that. Leveling it up doesn't improve it (not sure how you would improve 100% provoke and 100% status resistance without putting in more abilities) but reduces the cost to 8 crystals when maxed. Several of the units do appear to have some kind of global bonus.

The new DQM KM event has 1 +100% Unit: Dragonlord. Orochi, Liquid Metal Slime, and Killing Machine are +75%. Golem & Robin' 'Ood are +50%. And then there's Slime. He's +20%. However, he's not listed for the Banner. No idea how you get him. Dragonlord's Global Upgrades are Kafrizzle, which looks to be the Fire spell, and MAG +80%. He's the 5* Base. Orochi's Global Upgrades are Shock And Claw (Unmitigated damage to 1 enemy & chance to stop), and ATK +60%. He's a 4* Base, 6* Max. Killing Machine's Global Upgrade is its TMR, Trauminator Sword (ATK +114, Enable Machine Killer, Boost Physical Damage vs Machine Monsters). It's a 4* Base, 5* Max. Liquid Metal Slime has no Global Upgrades. It's a 4* Base, 5* Max. Golem has no Global Upgrades. It's a 3* Base, 5* Max. Robin' 'Ood has no Global Upgrades. It's a 3* Base, 5* Max. On May 3, the DQ Units will get Ability Awakenings. No actual info about them is listed. Kheldarn fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Apr 25, 2018 |

Cautery sword is absolutely worth getting. The trident is also likely worth getting. Weapons with built in killers are always worth at least a look. If you had a weapon with 0 atk and a relevant killer it would be an upgrade over almost any weapon unless you were stacking several sources of killers (or it was a bad element choice). E: here’s what google translate says quote:5 to 7 Type: Attack A physical attacker with both a hand and a dual sword, fit for both. Especially master Tida and attack ability with good compatibility. w master the ability and boasts high fire power because T ability becomes usable after using specific abilities. LB: Shockject shoot Phantom damage + 2 turns "haste x 3" can be used throughout the enemy (power at the time of LvMAX 1600) And Auron: quote:May 1 - FFX Unit | Aaron ★ 5 to 7 Type: Attack Hands with a high debuff capability Hold both hand attack physical attacker W Ability to acquire various abilities and debuffability corresponding to abilities. Regardless of the number of enemies, they possess abilities that greatly lower their abilities. LB: Physical defense neglect Damage + Fire wind resistance tolerance down to the entire fighter's defense (LvMAX hour power 900 900 Physical defense 50% Ignored object tolerance 100% down) Ugato fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Apr 25, 2018 |

Bob NewSCART posted:Anyone that can toss me a friend code for a dude that can solo garuda? I already have PDQ and ninjaDs noctises(thanks to you two) Most of the Fryevias can two-turn kill her pretty easily. With breaks and buffs mine can do 90% in a single turn by herself. If you have any way of guaranteeing she stays alive it should be trivial. Honestly, though, you have DV. If you haven’t leveled him already, pull on the raid banner and dump all your cactuars into him. Just chaining with any Fryevia - even if your DV has nothing on - the damage bonus should be close to enough for killing Garuda in one turn. Throw up your atk buff from Fina too because why not. Hopefully you picked up the DW materia from the ffx event because that should make it pretty easy to guarantee a one-shot every time. E: yeah I had a dv to test with. No breaks, no buffs: Literally naked, got her to 40%. DW with Genji and and a trash greatsword (and nothing else) killed her easily. Never underestimate the power of chaining.
