I did, btw, fix mine to the right setup, so you might be able to cut that time down.

Oddly, your Lightning takes 3 hours to beat Ifrit. I didn't look at gearing, so I guess that's the difference?

Unless you got a hand full of Excaliburs from macroing, you'll probably want to get it. Even if it's going to be a just in case purchase.

I picked it up for chaining and elemental coverage. Excalibur is better, but this is a hell of a lot easier to get. And if you're just running up chains, the attack doesn't matter much. I'd rather spend a day farming this event to get holy attacks on a unit than months of TMR farming.

It's also another weapon for the pile in the tier between TMRs and store bought trash.

Try Northswain's Strike, it's probably the single best MP to damage conversion around. It's honestly ludicrous how much that thing does for 3 MP.

A pair of 700atk Orlandus can clear all the ELT fights in 1 round with lightning stab. Use +atk buffs and/or imperil in cases where the Orlandus are both weaker. Lightning stab also sounds kinda rad, but not nearly as good as Divine Ruination's heavy artillery bombardment. :hellyeah:

It's literally the same gear, and I've been running it myself for days, it only takes an hour for me, this seems super strange. (Also his has more HP pots, yes, but I didn't bother with'em. Full Attack pots though)

I've finally TM mastered Montana, the friend point summon who has the Camouflage TM.
I have had him since Kefka was released(at least 6 months now?), and I have never missed a single login's worth of friend points.
I am now down to 5000 friend points.

So we've got what? Just a few hours tomorrow for the Raid, and then it's over? Any Coins I earn from here on out, I'm selling.

My final haul from the Ifrit banner:
Trust Moogles
Follower's Oath: x15
Hydaelyn Guard: x26
Shard Of Genius: x14 (Had to sell most of them early on because I didn't have enough Unit space...)

Units
Thancred: x106
Minfilia: x32
Y'shtola: x2

And enough Crafting and Awakening Materials to choke Ifrit.

You have an extra week to use the summon coins. Ifrit goes away on the 31st, but the banner stays up till the 8th.

I tried setting up a Macro for TM farming in Memu and while I got everything to work, none of my Lapis seems to show up.

I think it's because I originally started on an iphone and Memu is an Android platform?

Does anyone know what I need to do, or if it's even possible to get my Lapis to show up?

While Gumi does have a lot of questionable practices, this is pretty much squarely on Apple's heads. Its against their ToS for any hosted content to allow purchases with currency gained from a different platform. While theoretically you could split up your currency internally by "paid iOS, paid Android, free", in practice Apple isn't very thorough in their vetting before restricting an app for currency violations, so the standard practice is just to lock off all currency acquired on a different platform.

...I realize in retrospect that's not a particularly interesting factoid, but there it is.

When everyone has lowered chances of being targeted they'd cancel each other out.

e: Then again, the stealth ability in Brave Frontier made enemies do nothing, not even HP threshold scripts, if all party members were hiding. It resulted in people soling literally any and all content using Haderon. I'm going to go with "everyone having camo means nobody has camo" in this case though.
