I already have a sentinel's grimoire so that wasn't a concern. I havent had a single BSB or Excalibur until now so that relieves the pain of not getting plat sword.

Edit: ^ could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure you get to pick a relic every time you drop an 11x. There may be a limit on how many pulls you can drop. Five, I think?

Is the boost to wind damage from Oath's Veil enough to make it worth a pull on Keeper's Choice 2? I have Platinum Sword and Stardust Rod already, and while I'd like SG or Masamune I don't need them enough to drop a pull.

I think he's asking could he, for example, choose multiple oath's veils, one each time, or do they have to be different?

Will we ever get more of those tokens to unlock 6* abilities? Certain characters I didn't use before, and therefore didn't use my tokens on them, are now on my A team because I got relics for them, so I regret some of those choices I made and wonder if well ever see more?

Yeah tyro is super useful especially when you don't have a ton of characters because he can use some weird combinations of moves more specialized characters cant.

For this fight the Primary advantage to it is that Dances are not Magic and thus aren't subject to reflect.

If I've managed to collect all extant characters thus far, do I need to care about keeping any more Souls of a Hero? Similarly, do I need to care about keeping any generic MCs when I collect all of the personalized ones?

No and No. Any new characters will be introduced in an event along with their MC1 and 2s.

Bring tempo flurry for slow. It's a 3 star ability and does respectable damage on its own.

I still find it odd that Luneth and Refia have been freakin' everywhere lately.

Squares been pushing pretty hard to make you love them. The Cloud of Darkness has been getting this treatment too since she was given an actual character for dissidia. It'd be like necron suddenly getting tons of exposure.

To be fair, the boss fight with CoD is one of my favorite fights in FFXIV. Especially that music...:swoon: It's a very hectic, rude fight with an absurd party size of 24 that involves a lot of frantic looking around and dodging beams.

Oh it's not necessarily bad, I loved the crystal tower dungeons as a love letter to FF3. 3 NES is a good game in all its hosed up-ness, it wasn't afraid to try a lot of new ideas even if they didn't all necessarily work, but it still hit the mark more often than 2.

2 50x pulls, got Luneth's SSB and the White Mage Robe. Not...thrilled but at the same time I have no ff3 relics so it's still a net gain.

Have another 50 but gonna save it for the black friday pull so i can go in when its out.

Knowing we're getting the bonus mythril tomorrow tried for one more 50x pull, Got another white mage robe, an elder staff and the onion knight sword. I think I can safely call it there. Shame about the gloves but now my FF3 synergy is actually half decent.

What are good sources of wind imperil? I got Luneth's BSB and Freya's SSB for en-wind, and then Bartz' 4-element BSB that is boosted with a bunch of +spellblade.

Faris's SSB is coming up in the next ff5 event I believe.

Pulled on the black friday banner, got Vanille's SSB. Not the most exciting but I have 2 attack SSBs so a white mage one is welcome.

Christ though I have every one of Vanille's SBs. I didn't intend that at all but the game just keeps giving me them.

What IS a good way to beat the Curada boss, anyway? It's stupidly high RES, counters melees and just go nuts. I've heard things about using ninja abilities and summons, but nothing too useful.

Put on Fire Resist accessories (the counter attack is fire element) and just go whole hog with Summons, Tyro using ninja magic and a BSB RW. It's simply not worth doing legit.

Not bad actually! My FF7 synergy has been kinda crap. If this was a full priced pull I would have been disappointed but at only half price I feel like I got something.

What's the word on the new Final Fantasy XV sword?

Good, bad, great for scrap?

It'll probably be worth saving for when we inevitably get an FFXV event since it has synergy for XV.

Presumably they're giving it a few weeks for people to make headway into the game so they don't spoil things.

The machine blade sword we got has XV synergy so it has to come into play somewhere.

So question about Luneth's BSB, the second command raises attack but lowers resistance. Does that mean it stacks with shout? I know the general rule says yes but there's always caveats.

Oh yeah, that's a fine relic, even if simple.

Basically you get a couple of extra uses of Full Break, only with SSB- tier damage on top. I'd just bring her as your primary support for most stuff, until you get something shinier.

As an added bonus, she can carry additional DPS skills with Celerity and Sharpshooter, if you have someone else who can lug around Breakdown skills instead.

I think it's useful to treat FFRK with a roguelike mentality. You wanna look at it like "OK I have these relics, what can I make of it?"
