Hey I really appreciate all the adds from folks here, you all are cool :) I changed my name to IadriaSA, so that it's slightly less confusing when I blindly add people from the thread!

I have a really, really dumb question: I finished my first 100% trust rating, one of the moogles from the event. How do I actually collect the TMR? I can't find it in my stuff anywhere.

If you were just smashing moogles into moogles to get the percentage up, that doesn't actually get you the TM. That's just a space saving feature, so next time you get a unit that has that TM, you can smash that 100% moogle into that unit to instantly get their TM.

Yesterday's daily I got Prishe #2.

Today I dropped 12 regular tickets and two 4* tickets on the banner.

Ended up getting 4 rainbows. Most rainbows I've seen in a day.

Queen #1
Ace #3
Ramza #1 (YAY good timing)
Basch #1

Five rainbows in my last 15 pulls. I will take that and resign myself to having used up all my luck for the rest of the year.

Thanks to the loads of tiny burst pots from expedition as well as the king burst pot every 2 weeks, I am literally running out of units to throw them into.

I've maxed out the LB of a few units I've never even really used, or used only a couple of times. Including a second Rikku, Veritas of Earth, Mystea, 9S, and Cloud.

I mean, they are all useful LBs, but I haven't really used the units that often and haven't really got much out of leveling them. Yet I still have more pots than I know what to do with. Right now they're going into Tidus because why not.

Man I really want to upgrade Olive since she carried my rear end through so much of my early life in the game, but realistically I'm probably not going to use her at all. Not sure if I could justify blowing all those crysts on her.

I just said gently caress it and upgraded her anyway. Well all but Mortar Beacon.

I'm a few black alcrysts short of finishing her Shattering shot though. Will probably have that done this week.

Of course, you also want her TMR, a Prishe Hat, and an Apron Dress too, and then 2-3 ATK+30% materias and Adventurer V to fill the rest. It's not totally free, but you definitely don't need to dive into deep whale territory to kit her out like the other top-tier finishers in this silly game.



I think Olive does slightly better with Cloud's Uniform than Apron Dress for attack (edit: just checked, +3 more attack with Cloud) if you want to skip one more piece of TMR. Though I'm still torn between the two, nice HP gain on Cloud's Uniform but the Apron Dress has an assload of def and spr (19 more def, 34 more spr)

Yea I just burned a bunch of moogles and finished a Queen TMR for my Olive as well just for some added HP. She's at over 6k now, which I'm pretty happy with.

I'll probably end up sticking with the apron as well, since I have several other units that like to use Cloud's uniform. It's just a nice option since it's not a TMR in case you didn't have Amelia.

He's not really strong enough to one round carry ELT, but he could work if you break breakers.

6.5 million gil is a good stockpile unless you're enhancing units. You can easily blow 4 mil on one unit when enhancing.

For everything else it'll last you a while.

As far as Katanas go, the Gilgamesh trial has a good one. Even if your team is not good enough for it, a goon should be able to put up a Gilgamesh immune Noctis or something and steamroll the fight for you.

There are other good ones that were rewards from past events that were easy to get, but if you missed them then you can't go back for them unfortunately.

quote:

Purple Lightning from the Lasswell Training the Soul mission in the Vortex should be easy enough to get, the next step up is Genji Blade from the Gilgamesh trial. People can set up a friend unit to solo it if you don't feel like your team is up to it; just takes a while iirc.

Ah yea this one's not bad. If you're a newer player it might be rougher because god knows who wants to blow cactuses on story units early on, but it's an option to keep in mind.

Garnet/Eiko can do so much damage with Bahamut/Leviathan as a chain finisher that they make those missions (especially on 10-mans where you can just swap them in) pretty easy.

For any "finish with magic" mission, always just bring a dual cast Ultima or Alterna and hit that right before your chain. You'll always get the mission because the Ultima/Alterna animation is so long that it'll always hit after your chain ends, making it last hit.

For the raid boss, I brought Ramza for buff, enhanced DW Tidus with enhanced Tidus friend, and TT for chain capping. The Tidus Quick Hit chain was enough to one shot the boss, so I imagine if you threw in an extra chainer in it shouldn't be a problem. The Ultima hit twice after the HP was already 0%, but I got the mission.

Olive carried my sorry rear end through most of this game, I love that girl.

Back in the day I didn't have any 5* chainers, so I'd do 2x Setzer chains and cap with Olive's True Shot.

I did this as well. And didn’t have DW for them. Chaining the longest animation finisher with the shortest animation chain (Red Card) makes everything else seem ridiculously easy in comparison.

That's rough. I had at least one DW materia to spare by this time and for my second Setzer I had a second knife.

Anyone have a reliable site that lists what enemies or locations are best for getting specific materials. I think the one I looked up was outdated or just flat out wrong.

I just need a few more Lucky Seedlings and Brilliant Rays...

You can get them from Chamber of Awakening PRO, but honestly just buy them from the mog king when they roll around. They're cheap.

If you still have mog king currency from the last event I think he's still around.

EDIT2: Got curious. In the last one year and 3 weeks since I've started playing the game, I've dropped $70.45 on this dumb game. The bulk of that was for the Adamantite Chest (4,799 Amazon coins) from this summer which got me NOTHING, not the Rikku I was pulling for at the time.

I wouldn't say she's a shoe in for top 10, but she's in the running. The only chainers I'd say are easily above her right now are A2, 2B, Christine, enhanced Trance Terra, enhanced Tidus, enhanced Aileen, and enhanced Orlandeau. Maybe VoD if you're talking ease of chaining partners, but I still think she does more flat damage. Maybe Barb? There's a conversation to be had.

Its honestly not worth it to just keep rerolling till you have the best possible reroll. You'll kill yourself before that happens. As long as you pull 1 good offense based rainbow that doesn't become absolute trash later on you can just build your team around it.

Dark Veritas, Orlandu, Onion Knight, Fryvia, T.Terra, Aileen are all good choices with T.Terra and Aileen not being absolutely optimum because they NEED their enhancements to be good which for someone starting out could be unobtainable for a while. Dont settle for finishers, those wont carry you as hard as a chainer.

UOC= Unit of Choice, which are tickets we'll eventually get one 7* hit. You need 10 frags to create a ticket and once you use it you get to pick from any of the non limited 5* units.

Agreed with the stop rerolling once you get one good offensive chaining unit. I would stop if I get one of the following:

Tidus
Trance Terra
Barbariccia
Fryevia
Dark Veritas
Aileen
Orlandeau
Onion Knight

Some of these like Fry and Barb we don't know about their 7* since they're global exclusive, but chances are good that they'll get decent ones. Fry also needs a lot of TMs to get going too but for a new player she can still do some real good stuff.

I wouldn't worry about the enhancements thing, all the units will still carry you hard without enhancements, and by the time you actually need their enhancements you will probably be able to get them.

The only one lackluster on that list pre enhancement is Trance Terra, but even then she'll still carry your team hard for a good chunk of the game.
