in fact it's legitimately worse because at least doing a cash 11 pull necessitates getting at least a single 5* and 33 individual dollar pulls carry no such guarantee as you mentioned

We got 100% of the Anniversary stuff last year, even Accessories of Light which was a total no-effort filler event. We'll get 100% of the Anniversary stuff this year, too. From memory, that includes but is not limited to:

  • Special Cid's Missions for a single early Classic dungeon in each realm requiring (mostly) a specific party of characters, for 1 mythril each, 15 mythril total.
  • Simultaneously with the above, for the entire duration of the anniversary mega-event, and for a few days after every future dungeon update, half stamina costs for normal dungeons.
  • An orbfest, starting on the 15th, for 25 total mythril from clearing.
  • Three special half-price Lucky Draws; one is Curaga level heals, one is Imperils (or was it en-elements? I forget), and one is BSBs. These will come one per day (and for one day only) on the three days leading up to the anniversary.
  • An anniversary login bonus of 25 mythril.
  • A special anniversary dungeon with a magic pot you beat on until 50 mythril spills out. This will be on the day the anniversary celebration starts and lasts for the whole celebration, but you can only get the mythril once.
  • Ultros's Selection, a special banner with relics the players voted on. The first 11-pull is free, and you can make infinite additional pulls at the normal price. This, too, will be a one-day banner (IIRC) on the day the celebration starts.
so between the 25 from login bonus and the 50 from the magic pot, with the 3 lucky banners and the one free draw on the non-lucky banner DENA's basically spotting us 4 11-pulls, nice

I just beat the Meltdown boss and it was a lot easier than I expected. Only took me 3 tries. I didn't master it but idgaf.

So now which should I craft: Meltdown or Omega Drive?

can you go into excruciating detail how you did it because i tried one (1) time last month and got obliterated and realized that using ninja magic was a Bad Idea and my black magic hones were really poo poo so I didn't try again

i know they've been posted a lot but i flipped back a page and didn't find them and am very lazy someone mind reposting the banner lists

i'm tempted to pull on whatever has orlandeau's osb on it because it probably has a lot of good stuff and i'd have a chance to glue together an 8* OSB sword

Edit: this is about non-ultimate fights in the VII event, in case that's not clear.

Oh my bad. You should be able to cheese it with a decent overstrike roaming warrior, just fling both casts at Rude and he'll run (make sure to get the slow and/or break bonuses before you do). If you haven't a good one saved mine's at gkLe

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Random ones I was pulling weren't doing much.

The lesson I've learned as someone who's only super into this game in short bursts: a lot of the really high end stuff is beaten by A) Having a burst soul break or overstrike soul break that hits the boss' weak point or 2) pulling in a roaming warrior who does. That said, this tool here is what you need to get your engine started: https://www.ffrkcentral.com/roamingwarriors/search they just updated it a bit so you can sort and filter in all kinds of fun ways!

on the subject, unlocking a character's class orb with class motes is the only way to get copies of the class mote 6* skills, right? i know everyone recommends cracking them apart for crystals but i've been saving 1 copy of each lest they be lost forever

only duplicate on the banner was noel's burst soul break and i was sitting on a bunch of mythril so i rolled the dice. got cid's burst and super (and noel's super) making him not only solidly on my a-team but also my first owner of any native team magic boost whatsoever.

it's a real edge-case theory-crafting spreadsheet-calcuation of a question but i figure that that's exactly the right kind of question to ask on an internet forum for videogames: is it better to go "apply weakness" soul break -> "boost element" soul break or vice versa? I.e. I've got Agrias' burst soul break that makes an enemy holy weak and her new super that gives her holy boost. is there any real difference in effect depending on the order i use them?

(it's even more of a moot point because i've also got cleansing strike so excess soul meter is usually going towards that anyway)

Also Raines and his imperil Holy that I grabbed from the dollar pull. Raines and Orlandeau are a dangerous pair of Cids.

as someone who now has both of these cids kitted out to the nines i agree with this post

does raines not have a level 99 crystal yet or did i just not see it when i was flipping through the options?

KataraniSword posted:

The bad news is that Beatrix BSB is basically Agrias BSB 0.9.

Same imperil effect, same commands, but Beatrix's has an obnoxious penalty if your whole team isn't alive, which makes it awkward for multiplayer. It also means you have to be careful to only use your Sentinel command with whoever you want to actually draw attacks in the cases it matters.

The good news is that imperils stack now so they're not redundant.

wait, does the update allowing imperil stacking mean that ones of the same element stack? i thought it just meant that you could weaken enemies to multiple elements at once instead of each new weakness overwriting the previous

something i've always assumed but never really checked up on: after you clear an orbfest dungeon once for the bonus goodies the only incentive to do all 3 stages is the little extra cash prize at the end, right? the appearance rate of cactuars doesn't go up or anything on the 2nd and 3rd stages? so it's better to tap out after round one to refresh your hones and health inside of diving all the way through

I have 250ish mythril at this point, and while I have a vast array of top tier relics, I do not have a single ff2 relic to my name except for hand of the emperor. is it worth it for me to roll them bones on a banner, and if yes which will give me more bang for my buck?

Panic! at Nabisco posted:

Do you have plans to do the FF2 Torment CM? If yes, banner 2 is probably better for CM survivability because it's got gordon stuff and minwu stuff on it, even though it's a worse banner overall.

If you don't plan to do the FF2 Torment CM, hahahahaha fuuuuuuuck that, don't pull. FF2 isn't coming up again for the foreseeable future (there hasn't been an FF2 event since this one even in JP) so other than the torment the synergy is irrelevant.
