I did have mythril knives for everyone, but I went for putting everyone in the back row and alternating attack and potions. This ended up with Bartz and Lenna fainted and the other two just ekeing out ahead of Garula in a straight damage race. I'll definitely remember that strategy for the next time I get thief though!

Thief gets a boost in their attack at level 11 or so, so it might be worth grinding a bit for Garula.

The dagger damage formula is wonky. I find that level 9 is enough for Faris to get the best reasonable multiplier as long as she's wearing a Kenpo Gi.

Think that at my final attempt I was level 13 or so. My strategy of "try to attack faster than he can oh god damage control damage control" wasn't great okay.

Speaking of level 13, any tips on doing the golem fight with Mystic / Summoner / Blue / Beast? I'm level 13 and the only blue magic spell I know is Flash. The stupid pink dragon zombie Vampires too often.

The Golem battle versions of the enemies can still be controlled, right? Even if you don't have a way to damage them without breaking control or hitting Golem too, you can at least shut down one enemy while you focus on taking down the other one.

Even if you don't have a way to damage them without breaking control or hitting Golem too, you can at least shut down one enemy while you focus on taking down the other one. Also correct. I also think that using an item that harms the enemy doesn't break Control, so you could grab the Zombie Dragon and force Hi-Potions down its gullet for 500 a pop while it does nothing.

The dragons in the Golem fight are both flagged as Heavy (unlike every other Zombie dragon) so feathers won't work.

Control seems like a good option, I don't have that yet either though. Nor did I buy Hi potions. My luck must've been terrible, he was doing it every three rounds like clockwork. Wasted an elixir on Golem even. Mystic can pull mid 600 damage with Fira Sword and the Summoner can help with an obvious drawback. I'll backtrack after getting Control.

   Six runs, six Triple Crowns. Let me just start another run to see what I get, maybe I'll squeeze another in.  Gilgabot, why are you so kind this year?

I finally finished my run this year! And what a run it was. Probably the second-worst party I've ever gotten (after Knight/Zerk/Zerk/Zerk), but some interesting synergies. https://twitter.com/MrAristocrates/status/1032426201825112064 Thief/Berserker/  Once I ground out Combine onto everyone, Neo became an absolute joke. I was just spamming Needle Cannon and chugging Elixirs without a care in the loving world. One Almagest, some Delta Attacks, and a Vacuum Wave or two. That's it. The loving tree form gave me more trouble in that it actually managed to wipe me once. I don't think I've ever beaten this game without dying to Neo before, especially at only Level 42, so that was great. I probably won't Forbidden Risk again, but this was a pretty memorable run for sure.

The best single place if you're playing GBA is killing Movers in the Void, at 300K per encounter. Other Void enemies are pretty good gil as well. I'm not really familar with what's efficient if you're not ready for the rift yet. Statues are probably pretty good if you can cast L5 death (or can one-shot them with lightning spells or maybe scrolls). Nothing else jumps out to me as potentially that much better than the Trench grinding spot. edit: if you thief's knife wall rings from Furies in the Dimensional Castle or from Chamcubias in Phoenix tower, that's probably pretty efficient too. edit2: come to think of it, killing ancient dragons in drakenvale is probably better gil than trench grinding too FreeKillB fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Aug 28, 2018 |

Run 6, Pure Chaos: Time Mage / Berserker / Dragoon / Dancer completed with a triple crown. This would have been way way way more painful if I didn't have time mage. I just quick leaked Omega and Shinryu (and Omniscient). Really, quick saved my rear end throughout the NED fight and is the real mvp of this run. I also got a very lucky dragon lance steal from my first attempt with a thief's knife so that also probably saved me since the last part of NED was the dragon part and it had over 10,000 hp. Quick double jump did 14,000ish.     I'm pretty sure I'm done. 6 runs and 4 triple crowns is enough. MagusDraco fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Aug 28, 2018 |

I may not be done. Gilgabot gave me another free triple crown (beastmaster) and a ton of inconsistent offense (dancer, samurai, monk)

ultrafilter posted:Any team can grind statues with gold needles. It's painful, but it works. I think if you're grinding statues with needles, it's OK in terms of getting AP per unit of time invested, but is pretty inefficient as a gil grind. e: Specifically, it's pretty clearly more inefficient as a gil grind than lamp farming in the trench, which anyone can do and is already pretty bad.

Each statue is worth 507 gil, and a gold needle costs 150 gil, so yeah, it's slow. But if it's all you can handle or you need AP as well, it is an option.

Maigius posted:Where is a good place to grind money in world 3? Depending on your party, Phoenix Tower is really great. You just need to have someone that can disable all the ladies' counters. They're human, so they're susceptible to just about everything, but nothing cripples them totally like Frog. So do not hit them until they are disabled, then let someone go to town on each one of them in order with the Thief Knife (obviously if you have a Thief, even better, just Steal from them). Just about everything you can get from them sells for a ton: Mega64's Steal Guide posted:Coral Ring - Parthenope (R)

I just haven't even gotten Time Mage except for the first year. Chock full o' triple crowns this time though. And it could be worse, I was the only person to do my (granted, it was a small :1bux:, but the Randomizer is still a cool program)!

So real life ended up side-lining me this summer (in a good way, though) and I never even got around to finishing my first run. Guess that makes me a failure. Know who isn't a failure though? These dudes (or dudettes; I don't know you) who all fulfilled my dragonslayer incentive:
Good work my warriors of light. Now we are finally cowboys.

 Decided to push to the finish line yesterday, which really wasn't hard. I had this run lying dormant for at least a month while playing a lot of FF12 instead, and honestly it was just too boring to get interested in. I had stopped after half-assedly doing some sidequests in W3, but I really couldn't be bothered with Trench/Falls because what's the point? There is no need to power up a team like this that can subsist entirely on two jobs: Summoner and Bard. The Ninja didn't do much after I got Syldra, eventually just also summoning things, and Mime is not particularly useful in this setup except for saving MP on summons. When I picked it back up I just immediately went into the Void because I had done my customary 3-Hermes-Sandals-shopping already, and it took me up until looking at the equipment before NED to realize that my best caster armor was still the Gaia Gear I had bought to power up Titan way back when. It really didn't matter in the slightest. NED got two actions which were countered by Golem and Carbuncle, respectively, and then drowned in 8000+ damage per part Syldras real quick. I can't be assed to walk back out, buy Flame Rings or whatever and do the other two crowns, I'm happy that I finished in time. A bit sad, this run. I even walked around the map but didn't pick up the Mirage Vest, so the Ninja is wearing a Ninja Suit from the loving Library! Nothing matters with Summoner and Bard!

Simply Simon posted:
Triple Crown is basically free with that party, at least if you bothered to get a Power Staff (or Wonder Wand, but that takes a little bit of time to set up). You don't need Flame Rings at all. Still, I can understand the burnout. This is definitely a "hold A to win" party (well Matrix version, so press Auto-Battle and watch Netflix or whatever to win).
