What does Popular pull from, is it based on The Run vote?
Is there a patch to unlock Chaos jobs?

Popular is weighted towards The Run votes, yes. As it stands, you'd be most likely to roll White Mage and will almost never pull Mystic Knight.

Hmm, it looks like Gilgabot did a series of twitter votes earlier in the year, so it might actually be based on that. If so, the most likely results will be Blue Mage, Time Mage, Summoner, White Mage. Leans very 750 heavy, although Samurai was reasonably popular.

You guys like weird pledges, right?

For each goon that beats NED and also posts a FFV themed level they made in the SMM2 thread, I will donate $10 to a maximum of $200.

Well, I’m going to get ranger, and my jobs are mediocre, so I just realized that I have never slotted !aim and have no idea what it does.

Is it an accuracy buff, or an attack with 100% accuracy? If it’s an attack does it require bows? If it doesn’t require bows... does it avoid the flee effect of chicken knife? :getin:

Oh, hey, remember when I was complaining that my jobs were bad? I may have forgotten that slotting the core ability of a class transfers that classes main attribute score. Guess it's time for punch summoners.

Good to know that the Dancer actually continues to become worth a poo poo though. Just so I'm clear: Barehanded gives you Monk's strength even if you have a weapon in hand? Hilarious loophole if so. And if so.. it looks like my lovely classes are going to give me some awesome support abilities at least, what with that and Dualcast :hellyeah:

You're probably going to need to survive at least one Almagest unless you really want to do what A_Raving_Loon is suggesting and try to Break that piece. But honestly it is not worth trying unless you're using save states--it's a very, very low chance to hit. I'm sure by the time I've posted this someone will have done the math and posted it.

Lol trying to grind dancer to 46, and all of the info is in this thread now thanks to Kyro so,

Break is 1.6 + (Level/5)% (so around 6%)
Stoat is 5.4 + (Level/5)% (so around 10%)

Is there a list of what optional stuff gives what rewards in W3? I could just scroll down through this FAQ but I'm guessing the answer is just going to be "shop at the hidden town, grind for elixir, done"

What's your party? The most widely used item in my opinion is the wonder wand in fork tower. Other than that it's mostly ultimate spells. Most teams can't use more than the 3 weapons you get from the mandatory tablet.




Kyrosiris posted:

Solitary Island Shrine: Beastkiller Whip, access to Fork Tower
Fork Tower: Holy, Flare, Wonder Wand, Defender knightsword, submarine access
Undersea Trench: Meteor, Magic Lamp recharge spot, decent grinding if you've got Bard
Istory Falls: Aegis Shield, Titan's Axe, Leviathan (only relevant if you have Summoner + Chemist)
North Mountain: Bahamut (only relevant if you have Summoner + White Mage/Monk who can't use knives)
Phoenix Tower: Phoenix, AP from magic pots

Well, Bahamut probably. I'm not sure whether Phoenix will be worth it.

Okay, I’m wrapping up W3, just have to farm 50 more flees. How many elixirs would you recommend vs NED if I’m running mostly !summon no gold pins?

If you have summon, I definitely recommend doing Phoenix tower. Even without gold hairpins it will save you on elixirs.

Oh, I did. It led to a funny moment when I made it to the top and got excited that I had made it all the way through 30 floors. And then it dawned on me that I didn't have access to Exit.

Also I just realized that since I"m not triple crowning I don't actually have a level limit here.

Since my first time beating FFV was through the 4JF I'll donate $1 per person (max $20)who also has their first run of FFV through the fiesta!

Technically, I have never beaten this game before. I always stopped right before NED.

Toad works really well for mini-dragons. Not nearly as fast as ninja scrolls, but I can still throw !red on everyone and only have 1-2 of them get a turn at all, and being a toad removes their stupid defense letting me just speed up emulation and smack them down. Everyone in back row with 2 elf capes and the defending dagger removes nearly all the risk.

I assume you mean near the library. Is that a good place to AP grind in W1? I latched onto it when I realized I had about a 50% chance if 2 AP, and the wind shrine nutkin seemed to be gone.

Here’s another dumb anecdote.

I was having a lot of trouble landing death claw on the last magic crystal which was air. I finally get it and instinctively attack to finish it off. Of course, everyone has air lancet equipped. My white mages turn rolls up, he’s got blue slotted and I had about one second before I get tpk’d by an aero age to the face. (Could have curaga’d technically, but it only had 200 HP anyway.) And that’s the story of how my last attack against the crystals boss was ‘flamethrower’.
