Maybe add a section about what's available in the cash store, what gives you the most bang for your buck, and how to whale :shepspends: properly.

For example, sometimes the bundle chests are worth getting, other times buying Lapis directly is the better choice. Buying keys is never worth it, you get plenty from events and not every chest is critical to open.

I wish BE had that visit feature some gacha games have, so that I could purge pubbies more effectively. I can never tell which idiots have good units but don't know about the fixed leader feature and which ones just have bad units and deserve to be deleted.

Always use the favorites feature when you land a whale. Especially a goon whale.

New players, make sure to try the arena at least once a week, even if you lose. It earns you a mini tough pot and 5 arena summon tickets.

What exactly is the gacha rehaul?

11 pull will guarantee at least a single 5 star in the pull.

KataraniSword posted:

Is that so? I didn't remember hearing that part of it.

The important parts, though, are:
  • All units will be equally weighted in their rarity tier; no longer will you be more likely to pull Bediles and Shadows and Lanis than you are Exdeaths and Firions and Bartzes
  • A gold crystal will always be a base-4*, a rainbow crystal will always be a base-5*. No more getting Gold Shadowned.

Thus, whatever guaranteed 4*s/5*s you get will actually be units of at least decent worth.

Oh, I guess I misread it earlier in the thread, your probably right and I'm wrong. Besides, we are global and therefore hosed anyway.

So star quartz are dropping pretty regularly and I already bought two earrings. Is the black belt worth it? (Def 15 + counter)

I have Lightning and Luneth who both have counter innate. Is it worth getting for Cecil? He doesn't really hit hard, but the 15 DEF is nice.

Last Rydia was pulled this morning. Team space rocks go! (After I get them leveled.)



Of course this now irrelevant with exdeath getting 6 stars.

A ticket is equal to 500 Lapis, the cost of a single pull. The smaller bundle is worth it, the larger one not so much, in my opinion.

Antonella was a fun long grind, no way am I'm going back for the missions anytime soon. Bring elixirs and your best Ethers. I ran my Lightning, Luneth, Refia, and dual tanks Cecil and WoL. Keep full break up as you tackle each part one at a time. Start with the upper right target, then work your way down. Save the inner target for last or it will rage nuke your team.

Guide for the bridge is up.
https://exviuswiki.com/The_Big_Bridge

quote:

This is an exploration event which requires no farming. Simply clear all stages to obtain all the rewards. You can't use Lapis revive to continue after being defeated in any of the stages. There are no chests and the exploration map is a straight line, shared between all stages, with the second half exclusive to the ELT version.

Elite missions:

Complete the quest
Party of 5 or less (Companion included)
Use 3 or more limit burst
Clear without an ally being KO'd

20 Lapis for completion, 10 for each mission. Bring Hypers to boost your LB, but none of this sounds crazy like the Maxwell fight. Gonna crank this out and then get back to the story.

The 1200 lapis bundle seems ok value or am I retarded

A summon ticket is worth 500 Lapis, or the price of a single pull. In general, I don't think a deal is worth it unless the cost of a pull goes below 500, like the 350 Lapis bundle is.

Tried elite with only 5 and was able to clear, but the no-death mission is impossible. gently caress that, 10 Lapis can kiss my rear end, I'm not coming back for that.

The only things that have been nerfed so far are Doublehand, and Maxwell's Trial. The latter was a very minor nerf (the encounter in JP begins with a Genesis as soon as the fight starts, and she has small ticking damage to your party members occasionally), so it's looking like the Doublehand nerf is an exception. Antonella's Trial, for instance, is buffed from JP, but that makes sense because we're a few months late on getting the Trial.

So they're adjusting Trials/Fights specifically to incorporate differing release schedules, but as we catch up with JP, this is likely to lessen.

Don't forget that they increased the Bedile and Shadow drop rates for global. :frogout:

She now has three HP+15% materia alongside her dual cast. With the muscle belts, she should be less squishy.

Arena is yet another thing that makes me go "meh" and feel bad that I'm not doing the optimized thing. It takes so long comparatively tho! And it's boring!

As long as you can stay under 30,000 rank, Arena is fine. It's really not worth whaling/Lapis refresh to get in the top 3k.
