After pulling every day during the 1/2 off thing I finally got somebody great with Exdeath, but in the spirit of the thread I'm going to complain anyway because why couldn't it have been yesterday when the cactaur event was up and I could have used my 18 energy bottles sitting in my inventory.

I can trot out a Mage all-star team with Kefka, Tellah, Ex, and Goblez now, which is good since Artemois is my only 5* physical attacker.

Does Earth Shrine - Exit with 10+ second delay, does Entrance with 0 second delay. Does not use lapis. Will reject friend requests, will close daily quest popup, will continue the script and reject buying more stam.

This is the fire-and-forget script to use if you want to go on vacation while grinding. I recommend using 25s delay if you want to include limit farming. Do not have an ExDeath in your party for that though, that crash still seems to exist for certain status effects.

Just buy tons of inventory space.

EDIT: Thanks to NinjaDebugger for debugging this script. Looks to work fine now for the resolution noted in the quote!

I had a neat bug, but wasn't able to get a screenshot. I was leveling a Kefka, and when I awakened him from 3 to 4 star, the stats display glitched out and instead of updating the level up preview on the right to 1/60, it showed 41/40. All the stats just became long strings of random numbers that ran off the side of the screen. Then when I exited the screen everything went back to normal. For a moment there, Kefka achieved his final boss form :black101:

But yeah, I was able to max out Vaan, Kefka and Bartz this weekend. Currently have Vaan out, but I'll probably bounce back and forth between him and Kefka mostly.

I guess it's time to start grinding out Hero Rings. I'm not really sure what else there is to do now besides pull and level more things.

Is there anywhere I can check optimal equipment or anything?

For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
So I need some more good advice from you people that actually know what you're doing (thanks again shark tower!) So I pulled some straight trash from the banner and about the only usable unit I got out of all of it was shantotto. Not sure if kain is all that great but I got him too

Current lineup is edgar laswell tellah rydia and chiz. Was thinking of dropping edgar for shantotto, but he's a 4 star and she's only 3. Still though it seems like her magic is decent and would be more useful if I can keep her alive with golem.

Thoughts? Is that too many magic guys and not enough physical? Edgar kinda seems to be stuck in the middle between the two. I also rotate in rain and hayate for laz when one is ranking up. Would kain be worth looking at too? Any advice is always appreciated!

Read the commentary on the list down below. It basically explains what to expect. Chiz and Tellah are really solid. Edgar has its shining moments. The thing you need the most is a solid healer like Garnet or Lenna. Otherwise you are fine I guess.

Thanks yeah I read through the list before and edgar and shantotto are rated the same along with hayate and Las so I was just wondering if there's some kind of goon consensus one way or the other. Think I'll Def switch rydia out for shantotto and maybe edgar for fina. What I'm less sure of is if there's some kind of optimal balance for magic dudes vs physical guys but it seems more like it's dependant on who you have which makes sense. Thanks for the reply!

The optimal balance is actually whatever works for you.

You will find that you can either field a mostly-magic or mostly-physical team, and if you're really lucky you can do both.

3 good/decent magic or physical attackers will really shine if you pair them with a character wth Cheer or Focus (as appropriate) as well as the appropriate Break (that's why Full Break is so great.)

Fina gets Cheer, so she makes any physical party that much better. If you only have one or two magic attackers, that's fine, use them too.

2 physical, 2 magic, 1 support is the magic balance formula.

You will probably want all magic or all physical (with the appropriate Break and Focus/Cheer) to clear the colosseum or other challenge content, though.

This is precisely what I was curious about thank you very much. I was pretty much totally ignoring support magic so its good to know i should grind out at leadt 1 guy to deal with jt. I know tellah gets some healing spells at some point but i think ill focus on bumping fina up too.

Now if I could pull something other than Penelo or galuf I would be a happy man. Anyone know if they are going to do another friend point banner special anytime soon? Sitting on a good chunk of regular summon tickets and I'm wondering if it's worth just waiting till something like that comes up.

Plum Island Animal Disease Research Center. Sounds charming.
The only thing worthwhile in the friend point banners are the cactuars/gil snappers. Just sit on your points until then. I think there are a few mediocre TMRs in there also, but you'll just pull them at the same time as the above so just wait.

At ~2% summon rate, and not being interesting enough to whale for, especially after last week's atrocious banner, AND her not being a useful helper to have up, that's not too surprising.
