A feature that was mentioned before and is really easy to overlook: if you go to Menu > Options > Select Party you can set a default party for the arena as well as for your loan-a-friend program. In conjunction with 5 party presets you can have a leveling crew, a hard content crew, your loaner party leader, your arena crew, and a fifth squad that exists for reasons.

Always Vaan, non of the content is that hard right now but stealing is priority number 1 to lessen the awaken grind. Will it get better in the full version like are there awakening dungeons higher then adv that will have better drop rates

Has anyone run the Revenge of the White Dragon vortex fight yet? Is it just the same fight from before but with an energy cost and no fancy Murasame reward?

Vaan is better because Stealing is very useful. He also gets Full Break which in and of itself will make him more useful than Garland for hard fights.

That's because it's June 1st in Sweden and the daily rewards are monthly.

If it drops from INT farm INT. I think I've gotten some from coliseum enemies too.

The evo mat grind is definitely the worst part of the game. They actually took the normal, sometimes reasonable, mechanics of these games and decided to ramp it up another notch. Maybe it's overcompensation for the fact that evo mats are extremely quick and easy to get in Brave Frontier. :shrug:

e: I really hope the upcoming maintenance fixes the buggy-as-poo poo friends/facebook stuff. I can friend gift maybe 45-50 people total and my list of friends under the Facebook Invite section still varies between about 15-30 when I know more than 30 facebook friends are playing this. Plus my normal friend list shows 23/25 and I can't add more friends. At least Exdeath just hit lvl 72 and has auto-regen now. Because he wasn't tanky enough already I guess. :black101:

I had the same thought, but it's the June 1 reward. New month, new rewards.

I'm feeling the pinch on Heaven's Ash, I need a few more to do Kain and still have enough to upgrade Cecil. I mean, not like I'll be taking Cecil to 5* for a while, goddamn he takes a lot of XP to level. I have like 20 Holy Stones and a dozen God's Reliquaries, though!

That place only drops plain magicite and blue magicite so it'd take forever to max out Ifrit that way. You want Earth Shrine for red magicite.

If the trust mastery bonus is something you'd want two copies of, keep both and put them in your (eventual) trust grinding party. If the reward's something you'd only care to have one of, level both their trust to about 47.5% and then feed one to the other.

People trust farm by mindlessly autobattling the 1 energy starting levels. That way it 'only' takes a few thousand energy. :shepicide:

But for real, while trust rewards can be amazing, there's no need to rush for them unless you're a power gamer and you really want the reward ASAP. For some rewards, especially gear, it can be game breaking to have super gear early on too. Besides, trust mastery grinding is nothing compared to how long it'll take to max out your limit break levels on a character unless you only evolve them after maxxing the LB level of their current rarity, since max level and xp (uses) per levelup increase with rarity.

If you ever need farplane dew the C-5 (I think) boss fight was against 4 cutpurses and a master thief, all of whom have it as a rare(?) steal.

That we can even evolve stuff to 5* at all in the soft launch is nice but once we get the next island I think a lot of the rare annoying stuff can be dropped/stolen from enemies there which should make it slightly (but not entirely) less annoying.

I hope this next Chamber of Crystals event is good. If it drops both red and blue magicite it'd be amazing, if it only drops regular magicite it'll be meh. And please don't be another exploration dungeon (unless every enemy drops magicite only, then yes please).

Well poo poo... I started playing on android using an old tablet I had. I linked the account to my Facebook and decided to switch to mainly playing on my iPhone. I log in and my account is there but all of the crystals I had saved up are gone now...

I sent a support ticket in and I'm guessing if I log into the android version my crystals are there but it's weird that they went missing like that.

Edit: Yeah I loaded up the game on my android tablet and my progress carried over and my crystals where there. I'm not sure why the crystals would be platform specific though.

Man if you hate exploration dungeons you'd better pray we don't get events like the Easter event Japan had. It was an exploration map where you'd find chocobo eaters (they spawned in specific locations depending on if you got set A or B) and you'd fight 1-2 per location and I think there was 5 spots per map, so 5-10 feather per run. It also had harvesting locations that could give out stuff like holy crystals and all 3 tiers of magicite, and it was during a 1/2 stamina event so the dungeon was something like 3 or 4 stamina per run.

The individual rewards (originally) went up to 1000 feathers collected and included rewards like a mythril sword, star quartz, lapis, and some other stuff. They added a few more rewards at 1500 and 2000 or so but IIRC it was just 100-200 lapis or something stupid. There was also rewards given based on the total collected by all players. I forget how many tens of millions of feathers were collected but it gave out about a dozen summon tickets (which got me 12 poo poo units when the FFT units came out).

I collected 1k feathers during the event. :suicide:

Currency is platform specific in most mobile games. IIRC on android it might even be store specific in some games, like gems bought via the Amazon appstore might not show up if you don't launch the game via the Amazon appstore. The best thing to do is if you have a handful of premium currency on a rarely-used platform, consider using that currency for inventory expansion-type stuff to spend it all and then not worry about it.

MarcusSA

Yeah they just got back to me and the currency is platform specific. I'm just gonna do 3 pulls and stop using that account for now.

EDIT: On the positive side their support is super quick. So there's that I guess.

Yes, for 2 reason: 1) There's an Achievement for Ascending 60 Units total, and 2) Once you start getting dupes, you Awaken them from 1★ to their 2★ max, then use them to Enhance your exisiting same Units for extra Trust. The game has been raining Eldin all over me, and I have his Trust at 45.7% right now.

I don't mind exploration maps but it's really pointless to me when it only rewards low level stuff I already have. Like the current Land of Plenty just drops stuff I already have 99 stacks of, the nodes are the same thing except for sometimes dropping blue magicite, and the EXP is crap for leveling up FP characters. If the event had an INT or ADV level I would be running those nonstop.
