The most I've had is 40k gil but I'm blowing through that pretty quickly leveling dudes up. Garland takes so drat much exp but he'll be mid 40's 5* by the end of this I figure.

I've been holding all my Lapis up so I can eventually do an 11 pull when they do a character rate up sometime in the future.

I applaud your ability to hoard Lapis.

The second I get 500 I pull that slot machine for that dopamine fix.

I wish we had an idea on when the official release will be. I'm betting we get those 10 summon tickets for pre-registration bonuses.

yeah we should if it works like every other game out there. They should just give them to everyone who has an account during the first week. That would probably be the best time to re-roll if you were already happy with your account.

At this point nothing in the game is difficult for me except that White Dragon (Which I can probably Cheese if I dump some XP into my Green Mage for Sleep), so I'll probably start sitting on Lapiz until we get an increased pull event or something.

One thing I have had to spend Lapis on though is increasing the friends list and increasing the Materials storage. They really give you poo poo room for the mats you end up finding.

Yup. I think what did it was I launched it from the Done/Install option instead of backing out and launching it from the app itself. Thank you, though! :)

They'd be questionable even if you had 125 energy since you'd run out of gil in a hurry. :shrug:

(I burned 30k already and am now at 900gil)

Yeah, I loving bankrupted myself before I noticed what I was doing. Oh well though, I've got a 4* Shadow, Krile and Lasswell now and I'm stockpiling the Cactuar's until the event is over. Then I'll tear into the Gil dungeon, probably.

You could work on grinding magicite to max out Siren/Ifrit in order to fight their lvl 2 form and awaken them.

Good luck with that though since Ifrit has about 3x the HP of White Dragon.

Dunno how you guys feel about adding random people, but this is apparently a thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rP9vVOwJSk

I'm at 25/25 actual friends and the Facebook friends I have are kept to their own separate list area. I definitely have a bunch of extra friends but my actual friend's list area sits at 25/25. Not sure how his shows the FB friends there, is it an Android thing?

IIRC he's vulnerable to poison and maybe other aliments. Poison's 10% hp/turn so if you can stick it and then just survive 10 rounds you'll win through attrition.

You can unlock freely one of the Vortex dungeons per day, right? It's all additional ones later that costs some Lapis?

I've pretty much maxed out all the good units I have. I can't decide if I want to expand my unit limit so I can save some cactaurs for later, or roll a few times to see if I get anyone good so I can start feeding them immediately.

Been trying for 10 Scripture of Time's for a week now this is awful. There is one boss that I've farmed nonstop stealing each time and have gotten 2. I also spent 4 days straight running advanced awaken mats vortex and got 4 more these are the only two sources they really need some sort of alternatives here. Also been running the colliseum I've seen the mob that you can steal it from 3 times now haven't gotten lucky once.

Just Awakened Edgar to 4*. Need some more cash and cactuars to get him to 48 for some Drill action, but it's all good. Swapped Kain out for Sabin for style points. also I don't have the stuff to Awaken Kain. Short a crystal. :v:

So right now I have a team of 4*s. Edgar/Sabin/Shadow/Vivi/Krile. Mix in 3* Paul for Colosseum stealing. May swap Shadow for Cyan, actually, more useful abilities. Could probably take a shot at White Dragon if I got Cyan a few more levels...

Finally was able to buy the early bird special. Setup AndyO OS and had to run as admin otherwise it errored out but $4 for 1k lapis and a pair of summon tickets is handy.

I think I just need a good thief (Vaan ideally, Zidane's ok too) and I should be pretty well setup for awhile. Once I have more gil I'll be able to max level Maria for Curaga though only the White Dragon or lvl 2 esper fights would need it at this point.

I was deeply wrong about my chances at the white dragon. I got him pretty far down, but I couldn't get a second paralyze to proc, so he rolled me.

Oh, hmm, I DO have a 2* Rizer. I can drag him along, Sabin wasn't doing much.

According to reddit there's a penalty towards reapplying a status affect, so getting that 2nd Sleep/Paralyze can be pretty luck based.

Impressive considering even with Rizel and two people carrying sleep I can't get the fucker to stay locked down for even a dozen rounds.

e: I also only have bio blade so getting it to apply a 3rd time is nearly impossible.

I just started and rerolled to a Bartz 3*. I see him in the "Best" tier but don't quite understand why yet. Is it because he's one of the few who can go up to 6* eventually?

I myself got a 3* Cecil, and he is also listed on the 'best' tier. So far it's pretty useful to have someone that's tanky and get in the way of poo poo, but I'm still not sure what makes him so darn incredible so far.

Very tanky unit that gets Cura and later Curaja, and the Excalibur's an insanely good weapon once you grind out his trust mastery.

At 5* he learns Barrage, which hits 4x for 80% ATK each. At his eventual 6* he gets an upgraded version that's wind elemental and hits 5x for 80% ATK. Bartz also gets a bunch of passives and decent utility stuff.

pro tip: use the small metal cactuars from the event to max out 1* and 2* characters from the FP Pulls. 1* sell for 5k and 2* for 15k.

it's the easiest way to keep your Gil up for fusing the giant ones.

this event let me get my CoD to 5* and Butz is following suit as soon as he gets 60.

e: everyone is full on friends, rip. 228,422,166 i've got 5* CoD set up right now.

Not a bad idea however most people are recommending saving your friend points for special rate ups on gold/ fusion items. I'm personally pulling to max out my trust on all of the F2P units.

I spent a whole day off running the Awakening dungeon while playing another game, so that's how I got the mats. It takes some time.
