Just make sure to get the Power Staff drop in Meatfort, as once you finish W2 you can no longer get it and would be stuck with the Wonder Rod.

Hey fellow Mime-start buddy. I don't know if you're doing unlocked jobs or not but four-mimes to start really suuuucks. Like four freelancers who can't equip poo poo. You can wield both the flail and daggers, so there's that, but of course none of the other benefits of thief or white. Still haven't fought Garula yet, not looking forward to it. But on the plus side, I felt really clever when I only had one potion left to fight Siren, chucked it at her, then mimic'd that. zzMisc fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Jun 20, 2023 |

Yeah, White Mage isn't bad for Siren - it's honestly a very safe first job, just a slog. Don't miss the flail in the ship graveyard, and remember to grab Silence or the Magissa fight will be a nightmare. Garula is safe but boring as poo poo and then you finally get a job that can deal damage.

I'm back after a couple of years! And I've started a Meteor run. I've just gotten the Water Crystal and have Samurai / Dragoon, and since I'm running Fiesta mod, this means a hilarious early game with Zeninage. Case in point: nrook posted:

 That's my normal run done - I blasted through it thanks to downtime at work. I got the exact same lineup as last year (Black mage / Time mage / Ninja / Chemist) so it was pretty much the same approach as last time. I'd like to have done Omega but maybe next time. Shinryu was easy enough though thanks to !Image. I think next I'll do the Meteor (Chaos) run with forbidden or fifth job or zerker risk or gently caress it, all three.

Yeah and until then just have two-handed on everyone, it passes on a smaller portion of strength but still enough to be absolutely good enough for most encounters. You can't two-hand knives on a Dancer, but they'll be fine when they get chicken anyways.

That team is fine. It's not great for the superbosses, but he'll be able to kill NED. By the time knight damage actually starts to fall off, he has chicken knife dancing and access to equip ribbons. Grab the ribbons from karnak 500, death sickles from the berserkers on crescent isle. Make sure to grab the chicken knife and the rainbow dress.

"Oh, I'll do a standard run for my first one, that should be nice and simple."  Guess I'm gonna triple crown or die trying. And speaking of dying trying...  There Are Even Twelve Of Them $2 for every run that gets all the tablets and, thus, all the Legendary Weapons. Screenshot of your inventory is fine for verification. Max number of runs I'll be accepting TBD, but I'm thinking $24. (Twelve of them!) (Friendly reminder that you don't need to beat Leviathan, you can just leave after grabbing the tablet!  )Job Scholarship Program This offer is exclusively open for players who are either new-ish to the Fiesta, or returning players who've never successfully completed one. Sometimes a newer player can get a party that's just a brick wall for them, and kill their momentum before they have the skills to overcome the challenge. Therefore, for those players who qualify*, I will match one Job Fair change donation, up to a maximum of $5. Whatever jobs, in whatever build, whatever format, whatever party. You put in for the change, confirm it, and I'll put in the same amount. Just quote this post in the thread. This will be open to the first five players who request it, first-come-first-serve. * Qualifications are entirely arbitrary, but if you have to ask, you probably qualify. And a new one... Teetotaller This is an advanced challenge, on the honor system, and not recommended for newer players. $5 for each player to beat the game without ever using any of the following items in battle: Potions, Antidotes, Hi-Potions, Ethers, Elixirs, or Drinks. (You may still use Holy Water, that's sprinkled, not drunk.) If you triple-crown, this is improved to $10. Maximum of $30 total. No Fat Chocobo incentive this time as I've left the Fiesta server for reasons I won't go into and have no plans to return. Edit: Kyrosiris posted:

May as well post this here! This will be my first run of this in close to a decade. Meteor with Extra job. My start was with White Mage. It's slow, but it's fairly easy if you know what you're doing. I took the time to get to Lv8 before Karlabos, it doesn't hurt to have buffer. I also made sure to get two extra pairs of Leather Shoes beforehand. No problem with the lobster, and they arguably have the easiest time in the Ship Graveyard. Despite slowing Galuf (Flail user, didn't bother to switch it), Siren died in one undead cycle. I could've waited out Magisa's 200MP but just went for it. The Drains stopped and she fell. Her husband was rendered impotent with Protect. The elephant was similar: I had only Galuf attacking with the Flail, everyone else defended or healed. Second class? Samurai. I use a job unlock code because why wouldn't you use it if you're using Volcano or Meteor? But I need that money for other things and throwing it would be a bit dull. Besides, Samurai is plenty strong without it. It was great to have actual physical damage though - previous dungeons had been slow since I'm keeping Brave Blade on the table in case Gladitator is the extra. To that end, I took the time to grind out Shirahadori on everyone but Bartz (staying as White Mage) before the Fire Ship. Confusion wrecked LiquidFlame, but I did need to recalibrate at one point when she kept refusing to change into the Tornado form. Not like it was hard to do that with four White Magic users. Escaped Karnak with over a minute to spare and looting everything but one Shuriken chest. I got Beastmaster as my third. Fun, if a candidate for being replaced with the extra job. I proceeded to take it too far, you'll see. It started with a Mani Wizard on Ifrit, which I had a devil of a time trying to catch. End result was instant death. Byblos was mauled by a bear, whipped into paralysis, and stabbed to death from there.  With the ship, I took on some tough enemies. Skull Eater cave wasn't a problem, a critical hit eventually got one. Criticals from Ashuras blew right through Prototype's 100 defense. No need to use !Control. Double Corbettes weren't a problem, just a slugfest; same for Ramuh. I did use !Control on Mini Dragons, since their evasion was annoying. Cura on everyone else kept me healthy. Finally, Jackanapes. I'd looted the Elven Mantle earlier with quicksaves, but I fought it for real here. Set up with Protect, broke its defense with Flail, and from there the Samurais did enough damage to eventually win. Against proper bosses from here, Dhrome Chimera release destroyed Sandworm. Crayclaw got paralyzed by whips and wrecked. I threw a Corbette for Tail Screw on Adamantoise. If I wanted to be mean, Headstone, Aegir, or Crew Dust could've blinded it. The Flamethrowers and Rocket Launchers dragged, but were surmountable. Releasing a Prototype on Sol Cannon wrecked the launchers, then the fight was academic with White Magic. No problems in the Ronka Ruins. I had some fun with Archeoaevis: Page 32 release on phase 2 to instantly destroy it, then a bear on phase 5. Last job: Chemist. I reloaded, left the ruins, and grinded out some materials. I had no plans to use !Mix for the same reason I was avoiding giltoss. Yet. But I wanted to get ready ahead of time. Against the bomb squad, !Control and self self-destruct dealt with them. Could've caught AoE, but shrug. Controlled a Gaiacat on North Mountain to get Float for Titan, easy with Protect from there. Manticore needed a hug, so I had a Calcruthl give it one. Gilgamesh 1 is vulnerable to mini.  But there was a problem with Gilgamesh 2. All that grinding for items and abilities made me way overleveled, which I don't mind because I plan to go for triple crowns and beyond. I was level 28. Same as Gilg 2. The same Gilg 2 that has Goblin Punch. Breaking the !Mix restriction here to level him up was something I would have totally done...if any of them were accessible: Dragon Fangs and Holy Water can only be obtained after the Bridge. Naturally, breaking it to strip his MP was also possible if I wanted. Of course there was a smarter way than just leveling to 29: I caught a Black Flame in World 1 and let loose, suddenly he was level 14 and there was no danger from the fight with Protect up. I went even further by saving up a Rock Slug for Slimer to slow him after his buffs (immune to silence on GBA, seemingly). Excessive, yes, but at this point I'm pretty much making a statement. I unlocked !Iainuki for Galuf in late World 1 due to all my fighting, so he went White Mage and started slicing randoms apart. More tough enemies for fun: Kuza Beasts are vulnerable to confusion, and with them able to cast ???? on themselves, it ended as hilariously as you think. Shield Dragons are of course infamously vulnerable to !Control. I could probably pull it off without later once I can get to Moore for a Rainbow Wind catch (or with !Mix or Giltoss). Sandcrawlers in the desert you're not supposed to cross are vulnerable to paralysis and besides that are physical only. And I just picked up Blink. No problem. Tyrannosaur is traditionally cheesed with a Phoenix Down. I went for a different flavor: Strapparer, shadowy enemies on the overworld near Exdeath's Castle, cast Death Claw when released. Immune to the paralysis portion so there's still a chance of seeing a funny ???? but otherwise no problem. Now for my first informal crown: Gil Turtle might not be recognized as a superboss by that, but it's always a minor one to me. Galuf, Lenna, and Faris all had Elven Mantles. Lenna had the Main Gauche for extra protection. Galuf and Faris had Shirahadori. A-Butz had nothing but these things happen. Everyone had !White secondary. I took a trip to Drakenvale, fed a Poison Eagle an Ether, and got Float. I'm sticking to no !Mix, not that I needed it. Lenna quaffed a Speed Shake to go fast, and I got up Protect and Blink. Galuf was the main damage dealer with the Healing Staff, which did just under 500, but Faris could contribute with Dancing Dagger. Jitterbugs and Tempting Tango did nothing, Mystery Waltz did drain her MP, but stabs did chip (and halved evasion) while Sword Dances did a little over 800 each time. I did try out Ashura, but it wasn't damaging enough and the crits were too rare comparatively. It was just a matter of spamming Blink whenever one dropped. The most important thing was that it never hit Lenna: the Turtle counterattack is weird with its status infliction. You're most likely familiar with Poison/Blind. Bone Mail immunities make it inflict HP leak. But if you just have Poison immunity, say from the Angel Robe? Aging, Paralysis, and Confusion.  It took a long time. Lenna used Ethers to double their potency when needed. But I made it through, no problem. Reflecting after, it was better for Lenna act as White Mage with !Drink and have someone else as the Chemist with White Magic; she would also be able to drink Hero Cocktails to get more damage. Didn't stock up on those though, I had all of two to use. I tried this altered strategy out in the next fight - going through the whole tunnel - and she did about 100 damage more on average. More importantly, it meant I had another person with haste. She actually did get hit by Turtle and inflicted by those statuses (thanks to a bug where status immunities persist for a battle after removing equipment, as long as you were in battle with it once before, and even stack with whatever equipment you've put on), but I had Esuna on-hand with Galuf. I also made sure he didn't wear the Angel Robe so he wouldn't fall victim to it after; with this, I could also give Bartz the Main Gauche so everyone had some secondary evasion. Ultimately, I made it to the end of the tunnel with about 15 Ethers used and no quicksave bug. That's about where I stand for the moment. Even with the soft restrictions I imposed on myself, don't anticipate much trouble from this run. Beastmaster is fun but certainly a candidate for replacement when it comes time for the Extra job.

No abilities as weapons can proc with Mug. This is how Chicken Knife becomes pretty disgusting with it since the Flee effect will never trigger. Sesq posted:What level should I be to fight Neo Exdeath? I beat Necrophobe at level 35, but that seems way too low. The big trick is being able to survive Almagest. There's a few different ways you can pull this off besides levels for more HP, like Shell or hitting it with petrify or aging. How many levels you need otherwise depends on your jobs' vitality. Some can comfortably get it done at those levels. Others need to go higher. It deals a little over 1600 on average without Shell or aging in play, so shoot for that much HP (plus a little more because of Sap).

Any recommendations for what to grab in World 3 with Blue/Red/Beastmaster/Dragoon? I got Mighty Guard already, but it feels like the only means I have of doing damage is Air Knife Aeroga and I feel like that isn't going to cut it in the Rift (currently does ~1,800 at level 25). Also level up spots would be appreciated. Don't really care about AP though. e: Also also: I remember seeing a google doc with a list of a bunch of pixel remaster mods, does anyone have that?
