Is there a cooldown on friend summoning? My brother got me into this and he's got a super badass 5* Terra, but I summoned him once and now he doesn't show up on my list anymore. Neither does the one goon I friended from here with the Kuja.

I believe it's 24 hours to stop one friend from carrying you all day every day I would guess this friendship event will end when the cactaur event goes live tomorrow That's strictly a guess but I'm glad how long it has lasted

Garfu posted:It's something like 3 hours, definitely not 24 Yeah definitely way less than 24, I've seen 4hrs tossed around reddit. Anyone who does TM grinding will notice that they won't completely run out of friends to use unless they're spending a lot of lapis to refresh.

Decided to say gently caress it and used my 500 lapis on one last pull and finally pulled a Kefka. Probably pulled him just in time too because a new banner was datamined today: No dates listed, but it'll probably be pretty soon.

Thankfully there's really nothing that list that's very tempting to pull. I can go on happily saving until the FFT event.

I'll probably pull at least once or twice, just for amusement's sake. None of them are supposedly all that good compared to the current banner, but at least if I get Locke, I might be able to kiss my sacred crystals woes goodbye... (It's gotten a little better. Just six more to go before I'm done.)

I need 3 before cactaur event begins and I can have an all 5 star team Accept Edgar. loving Edgar can't be 5 star yet but his blind and poison is so useful :/ Vaan, Leo and fina should hit 5 star tomorrow. Gotta figure out who I have that can replace Edgar AND can have those skills

you can get a recipe for bio blaster in grandport, it's relatively easy to get the mats for too. you can make the blind spell also.

So I tried the Devil Chimera. And died horribly, if slowly. And then the game crashed, because this game apparently is held together with hopes and prayers. When I rebooted it the game gave me a "you won" screen with 0 rewards...and then crashed again. Rebooted again, was back in the Farplane by the monument, went back in for a second go against the Devil Chimera, only for it to not be present and for me to just get the Force Armor.  Guess Chizuru can afford losing 8 points of attack for this. EDIT: Speaking of, should I distribute the Cactuar Dunes exp evenly, or should I just dump it all on Chizuru until she caps for Barrage? the Orb of Zot fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Jul 14, 2016 |

Yeah I got bio blaster but his blind can hit a whole group. I'm thinking of adding kefka next to my group though Leo is targeted more then other people, skill at 5 star, so exdeath and kefka can more freely rain holy hell on everyone

Is it even realistic to farm TM without a script? I just checked, and my most-used unit (Bartz) has 2.2% on his TM since I started playing, which was about 10 days ago. That's roughly 445 more days of playing at this rate before he gets 100% TM, which is not ever going to happen. What's with these trust moogle things I hear about? I'm guessing they'll be rare and hard (or costly) to obtain.

Trilin posted:Good to know, but man I must have absolutely atrocious luck then. I feel your pain dude. For me, I actually have more than enough holy crystals, so when I see a crystal drop in the vortex, I'm like "yes, finally!", Then I find out it's a holy and not a sacred, and I'm like "oh."

Another dumb question: How far can I get without a healer? I'm rolling right now with Rain/Lass/Edgar/Kefka (leader)/Golbez. Can I just lean on summon help until I get Fina? I was told she's one of the best healers in the game, especially this early on. Also, I rolled a bunch of Golbez on my initial pile of 10 tickets. I combined him with himself like 4 times and his trust is nearly 30% now. e: Also, who should I toss when I DO get Fina? Golbez only has Fira and Bio so it's kinda tempting to bench him.

You can probably beat the first island completely with that team, especially if you save your super goon-friends for the boss fights. I'd probably bench Edgar since Golbez and Kefka are both better than him and his best contribution (Bio Blaster) can be created and put on Golbez anyway once you get to the 2nd island.

God drat I saw someone else complaining about how infrequently Mystic Ore was dropping from Grandshelt Castle - Second Floor. I needed about 15 and had all day to get them and because I got 3 on my very first run I figured it'd be easy. I'm sadly at 12 runs in a row now without a single Mystic Ore dropping. Really hope I can get all of these items before the cactuar event.

Took down the White Dragon first try with CoD x2, Edgar, Cyan, and Fina. He worked with me by using his fire spells repeatedly which CoD resists. She's really, really good.

Trilin posted:Good to know, but man I must have absolutely atrocious luck then. One thing I've noticed is that Sacred/Holy Crystals are always "second drops" from a monster. The chest pops up, a normal evolution item pops out, then sometimes one of the crystals pops out. I have absolutely nothing but anecdotal evidence to support this, but I feel like getting that second drop is more common when you Overkill a monster. If you're just (for example) having Exdeath use Firaga once per stage, you won't ever overkill, and will thus have a lower chance to get Sacred/Holy Crystals. Meanwhile, I have a primarily physical team who can kill each monster except the tombstones quickly and easily with any two characters, so I get overkills on everything. I almost always get at least 1 of each crystal each run, and frequently get 2-3 Sacred Crystals.

Apparently you can solo the Demon Chimera with just a lone max level Exdeath. You just want a high level Shiva esper for the ice resist and stats, good magic def equipment, and preferably some MP/HP abilities. Your main source of damage and heal will be Drain and the boss shouldn't be able to outdamage your healing. When you run low on MP you toss some Ethers.

My current team is Kefka/COD/Garland/Fina/Terra. I have a Chizuru waiting in the wings - should I replace Fina with her since Terra can heal or do a straight swap with Garland? Also, any tips on where I can beat farm Farplane Dews? I'm swimming in crystals but the Dews have been hard to come by.

I just did an Arena match and uh.... I can only assume my Vortex drops glitched and got displayed for my Arena drops because...
