Avalerion posted:Magia is pretty straightforward - hp, attack/mag/mind, elem bonus. Maxing one character would take about 2000 battles. OK. I was hoping it was going to be that simple. Thanks! Edit: I know Magic/Mind depends on which stat the character uses, and I'm guessing that Elemental Bonus is based on the character's Soul Breaks? Or do I just want to max every element?

As far as I can tell, everybody has access to every element, and the actual stats are split up into Attack/Magic, Defense/Resistance, and HP/Mind crystals.

AFAIK the elemental stuff doesn't stack with gear, it'll just pick whatever is highest. Which makes it not very useful for single-element bosses, but even putting just one point in nullifies any weakness from gear, which could be handy for some multi-element bosses (letting you use e.g. gigas armlets for resists to multiple elements while not eating the weakness)

Right. But, say, Locke. His SBs are Fire-based. So should I only boost Fire Attack on him, or Fire Attack first, then the other elements? And obviously, I want to max out all of the Elemental Defenses.

This new stuff is cool but wtf, you have to transfer items from your vault to your inventory before you can turn them into rainbow shards? Come the hell on.

So are these all the realm artifacts we're ever going to get, or are they going to add, say, a Type 0 fist when we reach the Eight/Cater event?

It sounds like more stuff is gonna be added and that in fact the best thing to do is hold on to your current artifact stones until the elemental ones get added.

I went ahead and spent a stone on a +MND dagger since I don't need my healers to have elemental attack; strangely, while some weapons have higher attack than the +atk daggers, the staff and rod artifacts have the same 268 cap as daggers do.

OK, so I've been doing some Internet Researching regarding Maggia Crystals, and here's what I've found. * Putting points into Elemental Attack gets you 0.1% per level, with a max of 10% at Level 100. It stacks additively, as follows: (Field + Attack + Equip + Elemenetal Boost + Elemental Break + Magia Elemental Attack) * Putting points into Elemental Defense gets you 1% per 10 levels, with a max of 10% at Level 100. It does NOT stack; the highest value is what's used. (It's 1%/10 Levels instead of 0.1%/Level because it doesn't apply partial percents) * You can use Maggia Elemental Defense to offset things like the Gigas Armlet making you weak to Water. 1% Water Defense is apparently enough to do it. * Putting points into HP gets you +5 HP per level, with a max of +500 HP at Level 100. * Everything else gets you +1 per level, with a max of +100 at Level 100. * You can max all crystals, but it will take a total of 30,899 battles to do so. * The best place to farm is Fabul Castle. * The best way to farm quickly is to have Record Materia that will attack all enemies at once; ones like Master Ninja, Divine Fists, Capricious Pugilist, Earthen Blade, God Among Men, Reborn Zeal, Omnicast Fire, and Omnicast Direflame (obtained from Ninja, Yda, Yda, Spellblade, Orlandeau, Strago, Black Mage, and Black Mage, respectivly). There are, of course, others. This spreadsheet lists how much Magggggia XP you need for each level, and how many battles it requires. Edit: Corrected the info for Elemental Defense. Also, for Rainbow Crystals, it seems they forgot to remove Equipment Drops from the Newcomer Dungeons. Also also, Powerup Dungeons now have a direct link to your Orb/Crystal Inventory.

I’ve been nuking bad old crap (blank 5*s, shareds, uniques, etc) and have like 200 rainbow crystals. Sadly they left the UI for this as lovely as possible so it takes forever, assuming I come up with some sort of actually savage guideline for what I’m keeping I imagine I’ll make it to 400-500?

So if I read this right just get all your crystals and hold on to them till the elemental gear is released? Also these weapons are for realm synergy and pretty much negate the need to hold onto weapons unless it has an elemental bonus right? Like master the SBs and poo poo can them?

My method was to go through and lock all element boosting gear and then go realm by realm and sort out gear types. More common stuff like swords, daggers, staves, or rods I'd keep around 3 of the best of. Less common stuff like spears or axes I'd cut to 1 or 2. Armor i mostly kept other than really outdated stuff or heavy armor which i just never find useful. Ended up freeing up about 50 slots but i was probably being more conservative than i needed to be.

How many items are you down to between the regular stash and your vault? I'm at ~800 right now but that was only after tossing ~200 pieces of vendor trash and dupes into the chipper. I still have yet to comb through and really scrap dated 5* gear, let alone the mountain of overlapping accessories.

I've got a couple of rods that have 120 magic on them but I can't throw them out because they have dark boost and what if some day I prefer that over 60 magic on a character that can't get dark boost from something else? E: better, I have three rods and 1 claw with dark boost and ~130 magic, and one staff with it and 175. Also 5 armors, but I believe those stack.

Phew, after carving through a giant crop of 5* gear that's just been collecting dust for years I'm down to ~400 relics between standard bonuses/synergy bonuses/6* statsticks/multi-use accessories. It's surprising just how much crap I had to throw out to reach 644 Rainbow Crystals. If nothing else it reminds me of how one of my friends used to work at a boot factory that would sublet its onsite plastics chipper to its weirder neighbors.

I've been sitting on over 1000 Major Growth Eggs that I never used to level up all my underused characters to 99, I would just stick them in my daily farming party so.... I guess I'd feel like all the EXP wasn't wasted? (I was still just autobattling with legend dived Orlandeau with the Earth Strike attack RM, so SOME of the EXP was wasted) Now there's no need to do this because Magia is more important, even if the buffs are minor. So now I have everyone at 99 and just have to worry about putting a handful of characters in some easy battles to get their RM2's before the RM3's to satisfy that OCD. Hooray!

Electric Phantasm posted:Wouldn't you be better off using artifacts for realm synergy now? For weapons, definitely, but they are in very limited supply and there's better ones coming soon. Whether or not armor is worth keeping around for synergy at the expense of an enelement, I dunno. In my experience the answer has been a resounding "no" but that could very well change at some point down the line.
