You say it like they aren't gonna show up 90% of the time anyway.

Is it worth pulling for Gilgamesh if you already have a Lightning/Bartz?

I'll be shocked if I pull either Krile or Galuf in this event :v: Which random nincompoop will show up in most of my pulls this time?

I want to 6* my ExDeath, but he's at like level 13/15 of his limit break at 4*, so I kind feel like I'm in it for the long haul at this point.

I've not built a limit break at all. I don't even think I'm any more than a tenth of the way through to level 2 on any character. It seems like it'd be a bigger grind than building TMs.

1xRamza

Yeah, Greg and Krile have eluded me in this banner but the off banners I've pulled for the most part are ok or will be decent 5* options later.

Now you go into hiding Krile :argh: (No regrets!)

Bleh, arena reward summon ticket today? I don't even use the arena, my team isn't up to snuff.

Beat ADV Gilgamesh, used ticket and got another Leo. Is his Aegis Shield any good that I can grind for multiples or is it safe to combine?

Arena tickets are for summoning loot like stat pots, getting ten is really good, no actual arenaing required.

Now for Leo and his TM Aegis Shield. Is it a good to TM reward to farm multiples of or is it safe to combine him?

This was very weird. I was scrounging up items for awakening, and for some reason in the advance stage I got four waves of only one enemy. None of them gave me any super useful awakening items either. Should I have fled and ate the 15 energy?

Time to do awakening dungeons for crystals for my exdeaths...


*sees one monster instead of the normal two* *gives up* what a waste of energy.

Why does that happen anyway? Really, isn't there supposed to be two monsters per round in these dungeons? Every time there's one monster, I only get one item and it's never a crystal.

EDIT: looks like PRO is fine, maybe that's the best source for these crystals now? I liked the energy efficiency of the INT level, but if it's gonna be like that, well, guess PRO it is then

Chen Kenichi posted:

Personal experience is that INT gives about 1 sacred crystal per run average - some runs give none, and I have had as many as 4 in one run. This is with the single monster rounds and everything. Just clicking INT, then hitting auto, then collecting loot.

I'd say I get at least one sacred/holy crystal around half the time in INT/ADV if each round has two monsters.

If each round has only one, then I may as well have run Earth Shrine :v: I don't recall getting crystals in that case. It doesn't happen too often luckily.

Connection is shaky but I got my lapis and tickets. I did sneak in three pulls.

Daily pull - blue crystal, turned gold, 4* Sazh
Used Ticket on FFXIII banner and got 3* Leo
Ticket on FFV banner got a third Exdeath :aaa:

Are three Exdeaths overkill? I may not have the equipment for them yet but they are awesome units.

I think the boxes spamming death all the time makes me think that I'm better off using my NRG to TM farm, so I'm gonna do that. Thanks Gumi for the event, bring on the new one!

Also I don't have a lot of high attack Noctis users on my friend list anyway, so this event is way out of reach for me.

#1: 3* Galuf
#2: 3* Celes - I don't have one
#3: 3* Regular Roselia
#4: 3* Edgar
#5: 3* Regular Roselia #2
#6: 4* Locke - first one
#7: Bediled - actually only the third I've pulled since starting the game.
#8: 3* Tellah - first one

Got to the 7,000 point barrier, so got a ticket. Used it, and got a gold crystal. However, apparently Clyne got lost on his way to the standard summon banner and showed up in this gold crystal.

Im guessing it has a higher point ratio as well as rank/nrg so that people can finish the event. This weekend everyones going to be in the dunes though

I know I will, just awoken Exdeath to 6* and he is hungry for metal gigantaurs and max 4* units. Unfortunately I think my pulls have peaked at 4 Exdeaths and 2 Chizurus so I think I'm saving my lapis for TM farming :v:

All these high level lightnings and noctipuses make me glad I just beat up on jobbers with very low ratio. I'm not too worried about getting a top 10,000-ish rank.

After pulling using tickets from the 300 lapis bundle, I got the 30% MAG TM football jerk and Shadow.

I am sure I'm about 60000 pulls away from seeing a rainbow orb again so my lapis is better spent on TM farming. I should definitely fill all my TMs before I pull again!

So what do I do when I get a rare summon ticket?

I don't mind dropping the occasional five bucks or so on a game as a reward for having good free to play pulls.

daily pull and 7 tickets, all blue crystals. I'm not even close to a rainbow crystal, I estimate a little over 59,000 pulls until I get another one, so the five bucks goes back in my pocket :v: The units I got don't suck(first Xiao in that bunch), but the odds are not encouraging.

I'd like a rainbow :v: I'd also like to try to resist pulling for awhile because it's been a sea of blue with units that aren't bad and have okay to decent TM rewards lately. I just want something exciting!

I keep saying that I should save lapis and stuff for TM farming so my units can start looking decent eventually but I pull anyway...
