I believe I am now no longer in the presence of nice people.


Last year, I would have gone for two Triple Crowns but I decided to throw away a Dancer on my 2nd run.

I'm definitely gonna try for a Berserker. Two weeks until I can tweet Gilgabot, right?

Yeah, he's gotta be joking. Samurai are great, they're basically knights with katanas instead of swords, and can throw money at problems to make them go away. Phoenix Tower is only worth it if you have a summoner, or really want to grind on magic pots. And the Flame Shield is a good choice if you don't have an easy way to heal against the crystal fight, but other than that, Aegis is the way to go.

An actual helpful tip for newbies: If you get Blue Magic you can roll over most of the game with a little work, but also the Blue Magic "Goblin Punch" is ridiculously useful for most of the game. Especially if you grab Excalipoor.

Also nine times out of ten: Consider the Chicken Knife when faced with the choice of either that or the Brave Sword, unless you have a reason why you want the sword.

The reason being is that in early-game runs, running away might be a good idea with your team comp.

I haven't used the job fair, and I have a question. Just theoretically, if one were completely insane and masochistic, would it be possible to intentionally job fair into quadzerkers?

If you got the dosh and the heart to donate to kids, by all means quadzerk away. Or find that secret command if you so desire.

Woooooo it's back!

there's no chance I do 10 runs again this year but I look forward to a reg700 purechaos berserkerrisk first run

This but probably without the 750 parse. As fun as it is, boy howdy do I not want Quadzerk Happy Fun Times.

Also it's looking like actually tweeting at Gilgabot, etc. won't be a necessary thing this year:

Which makes my practice run of BlackMage/RedMage/Bard/Chemist seem not so grand.

Choco1980 posted:

I'm going to recommend you only emulate on your phone if you have external storage capability. Roms and saves will eat up your memory fast. Anyways, MyBoy! is easy enough to find in app stores. I have the free version, which doesn't have the bells and whistles, like savestates or whatever, but that's okay. It's pretty straightforward, and phone emulators usually assume you're going to control the games via touch screen overlay (usually transparent), though I've discovered that even better is to buy a bluetooth gamepad (they aren't expensive) as most emulators are compatible with them. I recommend one that comes with a clip to secure your phone to the pad, as that's easier than trying to juggle the two.

And I forgot to mention I'm on iOS. So chances are, I gotta dig a bit deeper?

Oh, you may be screwed then. It looks like Apple doesn't allow emulators on the app store, and does their best to patch out whatever methods the emulator makers find to get them installed.

Sounds like there is one called GBA4ios that may be working in its 2.1 version right now that you can install, just not through the ios store.

Found it. For reference, what does revocation mean? Just the app could stop working?

No I mean look at the content. Looks like it mixed up my initial post draft together with my actual post. That's weird.


re: mod talk, if Fiestamod is only useful for chaos then I guess I'll pass on it.

Chaos, Pure Chaos, and BERZERKER RISK runs could use the Fiestamod.

I think Mime/Freelancer was Earth only, like Job Fair, though I might be remembering wrong.

Weird thought. Say you get 5th job with it being Freelancer, and you mastered your earth job (which, for the sake of argument, is Ninja).

You get Ninja's benefits for being a freelancer. Stat boosts and free Dual Wield. There's nothing you can do about that.

So, uh, what do, I wonder.

Clearly you master all four jobs before Krile.

Just as a note for current numbers: we are at 726 'zerkers in the tree, and 490 riskers. Which means that unless things change, every risker will have at least 1 guaranteed, and most will have 2 guaranteed.

Unless you're on loving mobile where he counters with return even when berserked for some stupid reason

I ain't doin' no version past GBA. Unless PSX is like GBA but on PSX.

Also when you say spam Blink, do you mean "give him Blink" or give yourself Blink.
